Factors of production and land titling polices, the need for reform

I have new piece on The Commune Magazine website. It talks about the broad contours of factors of production in India and its implications on economic growth and development.

It also talks about India's yet to realize the importance of proper land titling systems reforms with emphasis on private property rights which was originally adopted in the Indian Constitution.

The concluding para is below:

"The real antidote lies not on merely better governance systems through government alone but the most effective use of technology and communication systems. The land digitization process is underway since 2008, although in a slow space. Under Constitution, the subject of land is in the State list but States are not proactive to enact a comprehensive law to make an appropriate framework to govern on land tilting systems. Hence, there is a dire need for the Union Government to bring model legislation for a comprehensive titling system that can unleash the potential of Indian economy and help us increase the pace of realizing an Atmanirbhar Bharat."

Imprudent reading of NEP 2020 by political parties in Tamil Nadu

I have new article out on the above title in The Commune Magazine website. The piece is about the debate on New Education Policy 2020 announced by Government of India recently.

It is not surprising to see many political parties, NGOs and other agencies in Tamil Nadu are opposing without even going through the entire policy document which is very sad state of affairs.

This is nothing but literate with irresponsibility towards the society, against the national interest and also the Constitution.
Being literate in an language is not that one has to oppose everything proposed by the Government, which is completely hypocrisy.

I firmly believe that if you disagree honestly on an issue that is fine, but you cannot lie and create false narratives among people out rightly rejecting the entire policy document which also proves immaturity to be in public platform.

Rajaji on Communism and Indian Communists

I have new piece on the forgotten thoughts of India's one of greatest classical liberal thinker C.Rajagopalachari or Rajaji on Communism and the real nature of Indian Communists.

Few paras from the piece:

"Rajaji also understood the maligning method of human psychology used by Indian communists. He noted that “the Communists are humble in the beginning, how they are smooth and oily and get into every group and try to get first the G.C.M. as I would call it and then by multiplying it by a convenient figure get the L.C.M. ”. 

He further beautifully observed that “the Communists first find out the Greatest Common Measure of everybody who have grievances and take possession of the G.C.M. and then multiply it by a factor which I call exaggeration and the exaggerated G.C.M. becomes the L.C.M. the Least Common Multiple. This is the arithmetical formula of the Communists. I have not discovered it here. It has been discovered during the last few decades to be the process by which Communists are operating in Eastern Europe…The formula has not been discovered by the Communist Party here. It is the result of long research in human psychology. They know how to work on human psychology.”  

Across the world, the “Communism works through this G.C.M. method, it gets hold of the people and the industries, and then everything is changed. Let me warn the country and the people as to what will happen in any country where Communists are to rule. After all, the fruit is the test of the tree” said Rajaji.
