Falling global Oil prices and USA link to it

Greetings from India-as-superpower blog

As an Indian the news about falling crude oil prices bring cheers on our face as it reduces our oil import bill, and since petrol and diesel prices are now linked to market directly it reduces the retail prices, It also helps the Ruling party which increases excise rates on petrol to fill their money chests. We all are very happy and so are almost all of the oil importing countries. Other thing which makes us even more happy is that the prices would reduce further till mid 2015 and if Indian government feels that their pockets have no space left for further excise duty hike we might see further decrease in retail prices of both petrol and diesel in coming weeks.

The big question which arises is :

Why are prices of oil falling and who is doing this and why?

Answer to this question is not very difficult and is infact a single word - USA, Now why US would do this? and answer to this is to get more control/share of global oil market. I would explain the 'How' part in following text.

This all starts from what is known as shale oil, which is a substitute for crude oil. United States of America has world's largest deposit of shale oil and gas, and US oil companies such as Shell have started producing shale oil from oil shale on commercial level if I iterate their words 'shale oil exploration can be sustained at cost as low as $18 per barrel. Don't be too happy now as it might never reach to this level(even in present scenario). USA is flooding market/using shale oil and has drastically reduced it's oil import bill, thus forcing prices to fall and make other OPEC countries to cut oil production.

World is currently witnessing over supply of oil, which is much more then what it needs. Since the demand and supply principle is basic for pricing of any commodity, hence fall in price is very logical. At this stage next question which comes to our mind is quite obvious:

Why would oil producing countries do nothing in controlling the supply?

Answer to this question is again a single word - USA, and I'll explain why USA would do this. US has started commercial exploration of oil shale and it needs market for it. Present global oil supply market share is very well divided between Middle east, Iran, Russia, Venezuela and Iraq apart from some other small suppliers. USA wants to increase it's share and then govern the whole oil pricing globally. Hence it has flooded the markets with shale oil. Since it has deep pockets it can sustain any price levels for much more time when compared to conventional oil producers of the world.

There is also political factors involved in this which is further forcing USA to refrain from cutting oil supply. Iran, Russia, Venezuela are not allies of USA and are rather against it diplomatically, economically, politically(you can add more terms here), Venezuela has 95 percent of government revenues coming from oil export, Russia has 70 percent of money coming from oil export. Falling oil prices have already playing it's intent with ruble down by 60 percent. Russia's attack on Ukraine is probably the reason. budget deficits of these three countries are rising and soon economies would see major cuts in government spending . This fall would also weaken Iraq and Syria (including the areas controlled by ISIS) as this terror organization would get too less money from oil which they sell.

Oil producing countries (OPEC) have decided to refrain from cutting output fearing that US would increase shale oil output further and get hold of their present market share. Hence in long term what I feel is that falling oil prices shall have a positive effect on world and oil importing countries as these countries(including India) would contain their budget deficit.

Probably by 2020 USA would become biggest oil produces of the world and would be called 'Saudi America' sounds funny but is very effective.

Deregulating Petrol and Diesel price benefits Political class the most!

Welcome to Indiaassuperpower, your one stop blog for views on India and Indian politics.

Recently Government deregulated Diesel pricing in India, hence making both Petrol and Diesel prices dependent on the global oil market dynamics. Actually government boasted about this bold step and rightly so as it ended subsidy burden which government carried from so many years.

So I wanted to stick to the basics and gather information about who benefits the most from this move(apart from the Government)? Any guesses whom it would benefit even more?

Ok I'll start with a real life scenario where it is clear that this move benefits the political class the most, I can also reiterate the same as 'Political class would use this move for their monetary benefit rather then working for society' and following describes how it benefits them:

We all are aware that almost all of the private transport companies(road transport/rail transport etc) are owned and controlled by the political class and we also know major reason for the same, that transport business (bus transport) is a business where you get a lot of hard cash at end of the day, and in India nothing can match the power of hard cash(we have seen this during voting days when cash is distributed freely).

Diesel prices have shrinked by more then 10 percent in last 6 months, but what I have noticed is that the transport companies(or any other businesses which has diesel as their major input cost) have not decreased the ticket prices by a single paisa in last 6 months(I can confirm this for Punjab where I have recently traveled in buses owned by ruling politicians of state) and you donot have to be super intelligent to say that hence this scenario would be in all Indian states, and we all are well aware of the fact that whenever there is slight increase in the diesel price we can see immediate increase in ticket prices. Present transport fares are ones which were prevelant when diesel was atleast 10 percent expensive then today, but there has been no decline in the fares

. Now forget about private transport companies owned by Indian politicians, lets talk about railways. There has been regular rise in prices of train fares in past while we know that Diesel prices have actually declined. Hence the extra money collected clearly benefits the already super rich politicians, rather then the poor who travel in sleepers and second class bogies by spending their hard earned money.

Now the big question is that:
In an economy where government has deregulated the price of Diesel and Petrol, Why there has been no measures to make transportation costs linked to fuel costs? particularly when the prices of oil are decreasing. JUST for filling coffins of the political class?

I don't know if someone might have thought on same lines....but according to me it is actually a daylight robbery being committed on roads and railways by the political class.

It has also provided a free hand to government to increase excise duty on petrol and diesel in name of controlling fiscal deficit.

Concluding this post I strongly believe that the sector which has diesel as major input material for them should also be directly linked with the prices. ie ticket fares of railways/buses/autos/three-wheelers should increase/decrease as the prices of crude oil increases/decreases every fortnight, as otherwise this robbery by political class would continue and they would keep on filling their coffins and poor mango-man would keep on purchasing overpriced bus and train tickets.

What are your views about the same, Do comment for a healthy discussion. THANKS for reading and if you like it that share it!

Indian Political class - pre Independence and now

Winston Churchill once said "when ever we leave India, It would be ruled by the goons" and looking at present condition of the country and deeds of the political class. The statement is proved true even after 67 years after gaining independence. When an officer halts illegal activity then the ruling class dismisses the officer and dictates to ruling party that if they say anything against the decision then the support of their MP's in Parliament would be taken back. Every person in power rules their people rather then administering efficiently for their upliftment. PreIndependence era was 100 times better wrto law and order, implementation of laws and another merit about British era was that we were much better placed in transport sector in pre independence era, train journey from Ambala cantt to Amritsar took 4 hrs then and it still takes 4 hrs in superfast class of trains....isn't it shameful.

In India a major portion of the votes which are given is often purchased by the candidates(who have deep pockets filled with money which they gulped in their last term). Majority of the people put votes by keeping their castes in mind and making as goon win elections(from their own cast), rather then choosing a candidate with clean image. Some percentage of Indian voters are really really foolish(according to me) as we can clearly see around 30 percent of criminals representing people, These criminals would never ever be convicted because as they say "supremacy of parliament should be maintained" and they are above the law. This bloody notion that Parliament is above all other institutions(even the constitution) is helping in shielding the criminals/corrupt people who have reached there by hook/crook and muscle power.

The whole bloody system is corrupt, people are sleeping, Political class is doing nothing for country as various initiatives which were good for country like "Hum do hamare do" for controlling population is no more advertised and is informally taken back by the government with the sole reason being that if population is controlled and people start studying till the level when they can understand things good for country then they would root out the present political class, So why hit your own feet with axe. When Politicians follow approach of "Divide and Rule" over people rather then unite them together for the country, Looks like the political class have put country up for sale, everything can be purchased here votes, goons, riots, disharmony, and we are thaught that britishers played "Divide and Rule". I still think that if Britain didn't go bankrupt after second world war then they would have administered us for a longer duration and we would have been technologically ahead by atleast ten years as of now.

I still firmly believe this country needs a revolution against corrupt political class, so that we can maintain the rich history we possesed, rather then saying britishers took it all away, whereas actually it's the political class which is taking it all away from the country and selling the country to foreign hands. I somwtimes wonder about why in USA the party which wins the election and forms government is termed as 'Administration' whereas in India we are 'ruled' by the politicians which we elect. God save this country because if some offcial wants to do right he/she is transferred/suspended (for example Ashok Khemka and Durga nagpal), there would be many others which the media class is not paid for to highlight.

GOD SAVE THIS COUNTRY from going to the gallows!! JAI HIND!!

IT Industry - set variable component proportional to (USD rate+proj profit margins)

IT industry is the only bright spot if we see rise of Indian economy over last 5-6 years, rest I don't think there is any other sector which stands apart barring maybe we can say auto sector where India is trying hard to become hub for small cars(but that still has long way to go). The Indian IT sector has shown the nation and the government "power of general class". Since government is playing vote bank politics by giving reservations and killing competition(which is infact even more important in rising of good breed of officials and bureaucrats).

With no reservations at all and jobs based on merit and knowledge, IT industry has shown the nation and political class the power of general class. With good salary packages to performing individuals it has been truly competitive economic sector. Other advantage with the IT sector is it's billing model, as it bills the employees in USD's but pays in INR, thus the IT companies enjoys high profit margins, and this rises when rupee value falls in international markets.

In this post actually I thought of why not Indian IT companies change their compensation model where variable component of an employee should vary with exchange rate of US dollar and project profit margins. I think this would help in bringing even more competitiveness in employees for making project rating better in order to increase their variable component and thus their take-home. Their are/mightbe limitations for this billing model with respect to daily exchange rate fluctuations, but for that case we can see the average for a quarter of year or the variable pay cycle applicable(so that employees might not feel cheated or underpaid). This model would raise the work done by the payroll department though.

Also read: Fundamentally weak Indian economy

So in this way of calculating employee compensation I come to following formula:
So employee Compensation = fixed compensation(80%) + variable part{(proj profit* USD rate/project employee strength) + (employee client feedback)}
Does it make sense?
Presently employee variable is not affected by prevailing rate hence margins of IT companies rise even with lesser number of new projects, buit employee feels cheated over forex gain made by the IT company. What do you think about this model? leave your comments for in favour or not so good model, or flaws which might come in practical use.

Fundamentally weak economy like India can never grow as policies affect

In last couple of decades in world economic history, only one country stands out ie 'CHINA', In developing it's highly competitive manufacturing based economy especially in Consumer electronics and in all the sectors, China has become lone manufacturing hub of the world. You see any thing and it's 'MADE IN PRC' written all over it. Indian economy has never cleared even the heats to compete among the top manufacturing countries.

Recent turmoil in Indian economy (with USD reaching 61 INR levels) is a testimony to fundamentally weak economy. We can boast only of services sector alone, but services sector can never be considered as helpful in creating a fundamentally strong economy. Indian market has become a puppet in hands of foreign players and government an agent in helping them establish their footprint.

Other thing which adversly add's to fundamentally weak economy is the high level corruption which prevents foreign companies to invest in India. When Indian government wanted to dis-invest some stake of PSU recently, there were hardly any takers for the freed share. This is because FII's fear that government would sleep and do nothing in making the employees of PSU's competent. Union ministers donot give clearance to Foreign projects until their portion of bribe has been transferred, social groups come in for halting the development of a financially weaker area etc etc.

Many of the small scale manufacturing units have closed down in recent past only because instead of making their own products they are now acting as import agent and have starting importing their products from China, this has effected manufacturing capacity of Indian economy very badly, there are job losses(direct and in-direct job loss). recently one of my relatives who is manager of a company which is into Container manufacturing business noted that, the container which has least manufacturing cost of 2.25 lac's when manufactured in India, can be imported from china with all inclusive price(shipping, import duty etc) of 1.75 lac's. This has further hampered growth of heavy industrial goods manufacturing in India. Prices in India is higher due to corruption in the working system of the country.

We are unable to feed our people using our own products as our manufacturing has slowed down wrto growth of the population. This probably because political class hardly cares about the country instead they are busy filling their own coffins. This is proved when recently central government put a ban on onion export as prices in country are rising because of rains in Maharashtra's onion producing region, but coalition partner disagreed with center's decision citing that it would destroy India as competitive agro exporter in world(Pathetic logic as native citizen has first right on country's resources and farm produce), so when we have such species of politicians present, It looks very difficult for Indian economy to become fundamentally strong and we can never think that our exports would surpass our imports in coming years, until government focuses on local manufacturing and rises import duty without thinking of their individual benefits before nation's.

A weak manufacturing economy an never be fundamentally strong economy and people should not live with notion that our economy is fundamentally strong.

The Businessman-politician-bureaucrats nexus and RTI implication

Greetings from Indiaassuperpower, One stop blog on rising corruption in India and social evils.

Recently we came to know about the afraidness of Indian political parties for coming under ambit of RTI act. It felt nice to me when I saw that atleast the political parties can also be afraid of something, in the land where half of the country is run by judgments of Supreme court and Politicians thinking themselves above law.

One of the reason for this reluctance for comin into ambit of RTI act is basically EGO problem that says to each of every MP of India from within "Hey! I am the one who votes in making a law for masses , how come such law be applicable to me, IT JUST CAN'T HAPPEN TO ME" sounds really funny for these mind ignorant few who make laws/amend laws for their betterment.

There are many demerits for bringing Political parties under RTI which would directly affect the money suction capacity of party members (until they find new way of gulping money), The major problem which political parties would surely face if they come under RTI is that such move would expose the BUSINESS-MAN - POLITICIAN - BUREAUCRATS NEXUS, actually one doesnot need to be super intelligent in understanding the working of the businessman-politician-bureaucrats nexus which works together in eating Natural resources of the country and tax evasion activities.

Here I would explain in breif how does this BUSINESS-MAN - POLITICIAN - BUREAUCRATS nexus works-

A cash rich businessmen wants to start new business(or expand present business), he wants to import some raw material from abroad(which presently attracts import duty of lets say 20 percent), he contacts a in power politician of leading political party to decrease import duty to 1 percent(until his imports arrive). The politician changes the import duty (after he gets few crores as party fund from the businessmen), In this time warehouses are stocked up by ample raw material and the ministry is told to raise the import duty back to 20 percent. This moves stifles competition as others cant have the advantage of the 19 percent import duty reduction. Now imagine if Political party comes under RTI, this whole money exchanges would become public and more scams/favouritism would unearthen(which currently goes unnoticed). Now if the politician himself has stake in company then money transfer might not be required as profits of such move are shared between owners of business.

So I strongly feel that such move would never be legally implemented as it would affect bread and Butter of political parties, as we say in hindi 'Apne hi pet par laat kaun maarega'

Put restriction(limit) on Private property for curbing corruption

Greetings from IndiaAsSuperPower, a blog on Indian political system and corruption engulfing it.

With India becoming hotspot in Asian corruption index and Political corruption reaching all time high values, here I propose a different method for curbing the menace of corruption which can be summed up in one line as

"Put a restriction limit on private property which an individual can purchase"

India is land of 'equivalent black money' with this I mean it has official economy worth some 1.5 trillion and same value black economy running in parallel. This 'black money' is responsible for abnormal inflation, rise in Realty and other prices which affect poor and lower middle class more then anybody else, The worst affected are ones who earn less then 10,000 INR per month

Resources are very limited in India be it Land, minerals, water etc and current scenario is that rich are laundering the resources for their use and blocking them, thus preventing equal distribution between masses. Land resources is most sought of resource for the rich(those who have black money in store for them). A influential businessman in India has acres of land in his name(commercial, farmhouses, kothi, bunglow, agricultural land) because purchasing land is most easy way of using the black money(which is earned by not giving taxes, or by paying Income tax officials their share for keeping their mouth shut).

I strongly believe that there should be limit on private land owned by a family, like 500 sqyd house limit for a couple. This step would help in decreasing the amount of black money circulating in Indian economy because people would think the black money has lesser value now as their limit for property investment is over and they can't purchase anything new on their name as such move would attract a government inquiry into their assets. Other very good initiative for controlling black money in realty is to make government circle rates more then the prevailing market rates in the circle.

Most of the black money holders have huge amount of land banks in their names/driver's name etc. Thus putting a limit on private property possession to (500 sq yard max) is most important factor in preventing corruption. I dont know why government of India doesnot pass a bill which implements 'residential land for all'?

Putting a restriction of private property would also help in keeping real-estate prices in check as Real-estate prices escalate as politicians/bureaucrats/businessmen purchase insane amount of land bank in urban areas, thus creating an artificial boom(which Indian Realty market is currently into)

So what do you feel about this proposal/idea of 'Put Restriction(limit) on Private property', do leave a comment for a healthy conversation.

India - Zero Accountability Nation

Time and again we hear loads of false statements from politicians, Bureaucrats, or any other government personal who is allocated money which is collected as tax. So now the first question which arises in mind of a normal taxpayer of India is that Why are there no laws in place for making these illetrate politicians accountable for whatever they do with a single penny spent by them which is collected as tax? Purchasing votes, instigating Communal riots, stashing part of money abroad, getting higher grant for a project and transferring extra money to tax heavens and bringing them back in their businesses through Mauritius route.. these are few of the methods used by politicians, Bureaucrats for stealing tax-payers money, the worst part is that the system/society/law knows it but the lawmakers are still hot held accountable to people of India for this theft.

India has been converted into a banana republic(which I have already posted earlier read here.) by these non Accountable rulers/politicians/bureaucrats. I strongly feel/state that India can never become corruption free and make its citizens believe in it's foundation as a nation until we make our politicians accountable for whatsoever they do with the tax-payers money, now there are 3 questions which arise in order to help in achieving it?

1. Will this be initiated by the ruling class themselves?
Ans 1. It's a complete 'No' now and probable 'may be' after 50 years from now
2. Is something on lines of Arab spring required to achieve this?
Ans 2. looks like a debatable answer now with it's pros and cons, the only immediate merit of such situation is decrease in number of current corrupt politicians.
3. Adding option of 'none of above' in voting machines?
Ans 3. This looks like fastest method for making India corrupt politicians free, If largest numbers of vote falls in 'none of above' category then the eligibility of all the candidates should be cancelled for rest of life, since answers clearly sends message to Election commission that people of constituency have lost their trust in all of them.

Sitting Rapists MP's would not pass Criminal law Amendment

Heard about Congrass proposing changes in rape laws, Could not prevent laughing myself as this news looked similar as builders in Noida Extension promoting proposed metro line which would take another 5-10 years(being optimistic) for actual implementation of this proposal.

Similar is this (to be proposed) proposal made by Congress, 369 sitting MP's have criminal cases against them. So do these MP's think that mango man don't understand such vote bank tactics ie proposing soemthing which would never be implemented as implementation would put MP's benhind bars or Chemical castration (in some cases). However I would certainly like if Congress pays money to MP's or use any other settlement method(like withdrawing CBI cases against them) for passing this amendment, But this doesnot looks the case this time as the law would help mango man and not the politicians, so paying for something which would help common people of India is certainly not the thing our MP's are known to do for free!

I was surfing the net for getting a list of sitting MP's with criminal charges against them(including Rape/molestation).

Following are MP's with rape charges against them:

1.S. Semmalai : He is an MP from Salem Constituency of Tamil Nadu state as a member of AIDMK( All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam ) Party.
2.Suvendu Adhikari : He is an MP from Tamluk Constituency of West Bengal state as a member of All India Trinamool Congress Party.

Maximum cases of crimes against women are against candidates from Bihar (9), followed by Maharashtra(6), and Uttar Pradesh (5). Converting a state into cantonment, fear of a public uprising, civil war is an perfect example of weak and afraid government. Always remember the biggest power of any country is POWER OF THE MOB/NORMAL CITIZENS So while concluding I can still say that nothing substantial would come out from Parliament this time also, as was the case with JanLokPal uprising!

Another Important piece of information regarding our sitting MP'S can be seen in following pages:
loksabha MP's assets details
Rajya sabha MP's assets details

Castration - Only way in preventing rapes in North India

While the south India is famous for intellectual ability, Northern part is notoriously famous for their ability of raping females openly without any fear of concrete rape laws in place. The idea of my post has gathered enough steam after the recent rape of 23 year old by 6 guys with high rape intellect ability. A common phenomenon found among males residing/working/passing in/through delhi.

The words of Winston Churchill appeared in front of my eyes again and it read: "When ever we leave India it would be run by Goons" and my god it is! The whole problem starts because of weak civil laws, No time frame for judicial cases..ever increasing society divide between girl and boy child, dwindling sex ratio numbers in north india.Political class doing nothing as still none of them have been raped. May be they might make concrete and fast laws for punishing the convicted rapists. The whole problem actually originates from the social structure where males are given more respect then the females in North India, I have lived for nearly 5 years in southern part too and I respect the social structure of south India then the North india.

The effect of British raj's effort of degrading social structure is now visible in almost 80-90 percent of population of Delhi, There is no respect shown to females what so ever!! . Situation has become such worse that only fear of law can prevent such acts from occurring. When the Rapists are doing the act there is no fear at all in their minds about the law..I repeat NO FEAR OF LAW IN THEIR MINDS WHILE RAPING/EVETEASING !!

Another reason is over protecting politicians, The ratio of a police personal/1000 people is not even one which makes prevention of such crimes impossible as majority of policemen are busy in serving/protecting politicians.

Dumping Pranab for setting Rahul baba

Thought of writing this post as it has kept on striking part of my brain for last couple of days. We all know that Pranab Mukherjee is a mass leader for congrass(*e). So best decent method for dumping such mass leader is Rashtrapati bhawan. The top 2 reasons for such step by top congress management (which included Pranab mukherjee himself too) are following: 1) Failure of Pranab mukherjee as finance minister. 2) Rahul baba wanted to play bigger role by getting rid of old dead wood.

So congrass(*e) management did similar to what we say in hindi "ek teer se do nishane", first is now bad shape of indian economy would be corrected by some capable person..like chiddu , and Rahul baba might step into home ministry role...initially the may be PM(PM role looks remote until 2014 elections though)....

Lets see in coming couple of month's which role is given to Rahul baba.

India - Banana republic in making?

Again posting after a long time, but the time is most important ingredient for this post, It is about Indian politico-economic scenario and is it right to call India a Banana Republic? The answer acccording to me is yes India can be called a Banana republic, ok now you must be asking why? This post would explain it. Firstly a brief about term - 'Banana Republic', A banana republic is term given by O.henry for a country that has ruling plutocracy of Business, politics and military/police and judiciary. ie private exploitation of public properties and debt incurred is public responsibility..and these Indian politicians have helped in making India fit to be called a Banana republic.

There are numerous examples where indian politicians and business houses have exploited the public resources, They obviously cant be put behind bars because in a Banana republic all three segments, politicians, businessmen, police/military works for each other rather then for people, hence this politicians and businessmen nexus is impossible to break. Now you might be thinking why this nexus is impossible to break? - The answer is rather simple police would be used to torture person who initiates anything against this nexus. The other important question which comes to our mind is how to put an end to it, In a banana republic misrepresentations about data by govt offices can never end. This business/politicians nexus is used by big companies to stifle growth of newcomers into their domain, I would explain it with example- One of the biggest Indian businesss houses imported some yarn when the excise duty on the yarn was 5 percent, he stocked his warehouses well, and then using his political connections the very next day he told delhi to raise excise duty on that yarn to 25 percent, Delhi did it happily since the power of doing resides with them. Now the other players of yarn industry imported by paying 25 percent duty, They also know about the reason for increase in duty suddenly without any need/req for such increase, but because these small players are not strong enough, they cant do anything, Now the biggest player sold the yarn in India at 125 INR/unit thus other players become bankrupt as they are not in position to price their goods at that rate. Such tactics are used by biggest Indian businesses for stiffling competition using Economic/political connections. This nexus yields to never ending corruptioncases - Take 2G scam - Do you think something concrete would come out of the judiciary? I highly doubt so...2G scam case is a never ending case just like fodder scam or numerous other scams.

Due to this nexus Indian economy has become inbalanced and such imbalanced economy devaluates currency considerably. The country is ineligible for international development-credit, and remains limited by the uneven economic development of town and country, In a banana republic government servants exploit their posts for personal gains. All the points where public money is collected directly like Toll plazas, electricity department, PWD would rarely go showing profits because part of revenue earned goes to politicians, higher officials etc. Also in Banana republic nation like India government budget deficit repaid by the native working people who “earn money”, rather than “make money”. Isn't it shocking...actually it is disturbing! - you are reading Indiaassuperpower.blogspot.in, thanks for visiting! Indian Political class is rather funny - When a govt agency puts 2G losses at 176000 crores and an ignorant cabinet minister(who basically has notion that he is most brainy indian) puts that figure to ZERO!!...hahahaha Another aspect of Banana republic which India fulfills diligently is that we have an unaccountable government, Parliamentarians are usually up for sale and function as ceremonial government. With rich becoming even richer and Poor more poorer by each passing day.

When Civil society raises their voice, the politicians try to stifle their voices (again by using Police/force) like the case of Ramlila ground in delhi. The irony is these ignorant politicians think they are masters in making policies but actual scenario is when a real brainy person speaks to them then they simply look like asses in front of him. In my personal view -'Five senior cabinet leaders looks like asses when compared to intellect level of Arwind kejriwal' for sure. The business houses are looting government which is looting Indian taxpayers money(after giving politicians their share) and grow even taller in India. Thus for concluding this never ending debate on Is India a true Banana republic? - and my answer to it is YES!

Using 49-O during voting - Power to the voter

In this post I would discus about the changes which are must during voting, Elections days, which would certainly help in electing best candidate or electing no candidate when there is no good candidate contesting ( This second case is currently not allowed in India), Choosing No candidate and choosing not to cast your vote can be a very powerful in eradicating corrupt candidates.

If a eligible voter doesnot want to cast his vote to any one of candidate (as candidates have criminal records, pending cases) then he can use article 49-0 for recording the fact that he doesnot want to cast his vote. However currently the whole process of using 49-O is cumbersome and not secret because if a voter chooses 49-O then he has to tell the presiding officer about this and thus secrecy of ballot is not followed in this approach which might become problem for the ballot as candidates come to know about people who have not casted votes, and we all know what any criminal can do.

The exact wording of article 49-O from constitution is as written below:

49-O. Elector deciding not to vote.-If an elector, after his electoral roll number has been duly entered in the register of voters in Form-17A and has put his signature or thumb impression thereon as required under sub-rule (1) of rule 49L, decided not to record his vote, a remark to this effect shall be made against the said entry in Form 17A by the presiding officer and the signature or thumb impression of the elector shall be obtained against such remark.

Current implementation of article 49-O violates the secret ballot. because the elegible voter has to tell to presiding officer about his intent of using 49-O thus it doesnot remain a secret anymore which husrts the basic of whole election process. But this can adher to secret ballot easily if our corrupt parliamentarians pass a bill for providing "none of the above" option along with candidate names in Electronic voting machines. Members of Civil society are demanding this bill and rightly so because if bill is passed so that when number of "none of the above" option is the highest for a particular constituency then all the candidates standing in elections for this constituency would never ever be eligible to stand in elections in future.

I think this approach would help in eradicating corrupt candidates from getting into the parliament and doing nothing for their quota of whole 5 years. If you have even better ideas for must have reforms in election process in India, do leave a comment for a healthy discussion.

Note - Please spread the word so that voters in India know about such articles and would help in choosing the right candidates for entering into parliament in future.
