Development for Underdevelopment !?

Why we learn so much?

For better survival?

Do we survive better now?

No, the more we learn higher the standard of living.

Higher the standard of living more the threat to environment.

Does education solve problems?

Both Yes and No.

The more solution the more unsolved is.

We are advance in medicine,

But more serious disease comes out after every new solution.

We have advanced in medicine

And we decreased the natural death rate

And thus distorted the equilibrium between death rate and birth rate.

And thus created the population explosion.

We produce seeds for better resilience from pest,

But another completely new disease comes up and destroy completely.

We produce climate resilient seeds for good produce.

Everywhere is hybrid seed and endangered endogenous one,

But we cannot grow these hybrid seeds without chemical

and becomes chemical agriculture that goes to our body ultimately.

Does higher production fill poor's stomach, no!

Poor and rich are increasing the gap between,

Have food security has met with the increased grain produced?

No, that’s are for few rich people,

Food security can be met only with fair distribution. 

We are highly educated for a better society?

One upon a time before modern education our society was egalitarian,

Now our egalitarian society has gone and is full of social and political instability.

This is the product of education for better survival?

We are educated to understand the values

But we see values only through production function.

We are educated, we need more energy than uneducated.

Energy generation is threat to our environment.

We are educated, we need shower three times a day per head in a family.

We need twenty litters of water per flushing in our western toilet,

We are educated, we need pipe for car wash before going to office.

Why should we suck water from our precious heritage  wetlands.

Is it going to be the solution?

Why should we increase quantity

which can be solved by increasing efficiency and fairness.

Why we need to cut down the forest for Railway track.

Is it the solution to political tension of Manipur?

Is the solution to supply chain in the state?

Do we need more import without making self reliance ourselves.

Does our land less productive, without any irrigation system.

Or does bombarding with import call as development?

Railway track can also be blocked like in roads,

Then same is the case as of now or earlier.

And our environment will be destroyed,

our culture will be destroyed,

Social tension will be increased as different population increases

But all in the name of fast transport with larger freight

Which are far more than we need or which we don't need at all.

But all in the name of development.

Development is a problem !

Development involves politics,

Development involves corruption,

Development involves nepotism.

Development is a legitimate problem generator.

Speed-breakers in the Development of Manipur

I have few dreams which are constructed almost fully and few yet to be constructed, all of which are to be turned into reality in Manipur someday as my nascent thought is. Many have already turned their dreams into realities in Manipur. But most of their realities have been pulled down partially or fully by illegal gunmen or armed groups. 

And hence many buddings dreamers are not allowed psychologically to turn their dreams even when they constructed it firmly in fear of such consequences.

Likewise I am also  disturbed even at this thinking stage by these potential consequences from illegal gunmen. The State knows very well about the situation, about them, their whereabouts, but they are kept in safe in the moral that all of them cannot be killed at one time, may be blended with some communal politics, although through some monetary deal in between. Its sort of paradox the face of State is.

So, simply the base of these illegal gunmen without gun (actually gunmen are in Manipur, who appear when they feel need gun to perform commitments physically in open eye) should be first pulled down by State within the domestic itself (before Myanmar and Bangladesh), say right from Delhi to Manipur. I have mentioned Delhi here with special knowledge. They are not confined within Manipur only rather they spread across the globe. In many instances armed groups are the main source of unlicensed guns which are being used by civilians, Civil Works contractors, local political aspirants, politicians and so on.

They, the armed group of Manipur based in Delhi, and sometimes in Manipur also, should not be allowed to whiten their blacks using white material, students  to mean white material, unless they are whiten themselves in from the State. Once it is done Manipur will definitely shine in a fortnight like luminous object in a new moon night.

You may say, easier said than done, moreover I am talking from the view of close-circuit analysis. Yes, correct. But, what should be kept in mind is that everything starts from close-circuit to open-circuit. Open is real life circuit.

The society without armed groups can exist in Manipur. If it is already happened in many villages of Manipur, why not it can happen in the whole of Manipur, given that people of Manipur of all community understand that the cost of illegal gunmen incurred on civilians is more than the benefit of communal priority mindset, the mindset of communal supremacy, the mindset because of which all community set up their armed groups. 

Is the Center a hurdle in the growth of Manipur ?

It is always easy to blame others rather than looking back to self which can be one big reason of self-halting. And it is easier said than done. And there are many things that we people want in our society to change but hardly anyone check its feasibility, that I would called them as utopian expectation. Even without expecting to change that much the existing one is more than enough, kicking off the White Man ideology which is hazardous to Indian society and to the earth at aggregate.

Anyway, top down parliamentary democracy- many political philosophers says that representative form of government is the worst form of government but no better alternative for this. What more than this is democracy, which comes include the representative form of govt. or same? Representative form of govt. is down to top process while the administration of this form of govt. is top to down and this is neutralize by the form called democracy which includes every kind of freedom of the citizens and the policy called Panchayati Raj Institution, the rest are because of people who are selected but not because of the form of govt.

Rise of revolutionaries on account of merger- it is one of the most ambiguous issue in Manipur. Everybody, excluding the civilian people, protested against the merger. Those who are protesting, a group of people single minded people, claiming that the merger was not in consensus and hence not democratic. It was done at the time democracy was not internalized to the majority of people. This is not the issue. No one ask(ed) why this revolutionaries, who do not actually have any basic objective of their existence shouting for separation, and no one bother of them also. It’s good to compare the condition of Myanmar and Thailand and many similar countries with the situation what if Manipur was an independent country. I mean, what would be the position of the revolutionaries if we all were in the independent Manipur. We can check it out by the trend of their contribution so far in the soil of Manipur.  Or similarly we can ask why they want separate state while the rest of the people do not speak anything in favor of them. It will be totally wrong if we think that revolutionist know more of prediction of political situations than normal people. It’s not at all a people’s movement when people do not join it. Rather it is by a group of people for vested interest. Coup is one simple example for their vested interest.

Same is the case of AFSPA also. It is true that Act is alienating NE from the mainland but there had not been any such trend of insurgency in any state in Indian history other than in NE. And for any Govt. coercion is component to maintain internal peace.  I do not agree with the act, mainly the Section 6 which is the draconian part- “This section establishes that no legal proceeding can be brought against any member of the armed forces acting under the AFSPA, without the permission of the Central Government. This section leaves the victims of the armed forces abuses without a remedy”. The act itself is against the people, if we talk compendium to the act only. We can ask to the group of people who are protesting against it that what is their intention is to remove the Act and lead a peaceful state? If this is the answer why there had been a quantum increase of lethally violence in the Imphal area where this act was removed to check the validity of the claim from the group of people who are protesting. Mere protesting against the act is of no sense without making any commitment what they can do for the social stability in Manipur. The act is imposed by State govt. even though it is a central act. State govt. can remove it at any time. And it is on the basic humanitarian ground to put this act in Manipur rather than pushing the Manipur to the faith of Mizoram that happened couple of decades back. These all are to maintain internal peace. Yes, in context of Manipur we can blame the state as it is all because of lack of state force, we can blame why state can’t maintain its security.  And it is because of this reason state govt. put this act instead. And state do not have much money to empower the state force to tackle the mass of insurgency, which even Center took long time and spent millions of Rupees. Still it is because of the insurgency state can divert money to other development projects like Education as maximum non-planned money goes to security sector. There many false within the states itself also that take help of this AFSPA.

Liberal economic system- there is no any such system/program that fulfills all sort of problem or demand of people. This freedom of economy does make grow the economy who contributes at the national economy. And classical economists didn’t have the idea of inclusion of Indian poor who will be seriously affected as this very concept is for aggregate policy and this for global arena, but not for individual units. This is the concept of Capital approach of development. And what now emerged is that of Amartya Sen called as Capability Approach that is to create enabling factors among the people to let the people grow themselves, e.g. govt. is trying at its best to improve the health conditions and education, empowering women, Dalits, and many identities and so on. This is called as Development, which very different from Economic growth. Development includes everything, or it is another term of inclusive growth. So, we cannot say that India is not applying this new Capability approach/ inclusive growth policy. We cannot say the policy of inclusive growth and democracy, and newly decentralized form of Panchayats raj institutions are not empowering people with liberty to take decision themselves. I am not saying Govt. is doing the best, yes they are doing the best but the not accounted. Even the money is directly sent to Pradhan all of the money is diverted to his pocket. This is to some extent similar to form of Panchayats in which money was not sent direct to Pradhan, as the money is not spent on the people that mean to use for.

There are many programs in which there is no interference of dirty politics that taken up by many civil societies. And it is very hard to say people should not have politics in their mind, as politics is something comes inbuilt in human mind. We cannot change the system all at once as you have experienced about the Lokpal and RTI. Anyway, RTI has made the system transparent to a great extent than before. Yes, there are many elements in the system which itself corrupt, called as non-collusive which are very hard to detect. And another type is collusive, in which there is mutual benefit. Both these are being curbed by RTI slowly and another coming is Lokpal. So, we cannot bluntly say that we need to change the system all together, which is not possible at all in the population of 1.2 billion.

Autonomy is a broad term.  There is both advantage and disadvantage for autonomy both at micro-level and macro-level as in the case of Liberal Economic Policy, as India is equity starve country. To make it easier let me take it in context of Manipur. How much autonomy we need to run a state smoothly. Does Manipur need more autonomy than we are getting now, as special status? Yes, it is of the general perception that Center is in such a stand to make NE depends on them so that they can claim the importance of Center for NE. It may be true but there is no evidence to prove this because we are in special status. Specials status means maximum autonomy that no other state get in which we can grow in our own. We are in such a freedom that we can build our own satellite if we can like California does. All NE states are under the supervisor and management by NE Council, not center. We are getting money directly from IMF unlike other states. Because of these autonomous policies vested for NE Center do not need to pay special attention to NE. And we do not have our own resources also to attract special attention of Center also. Although we are getting money more that we can use. It is the lack within us, not the Center at all. There had not been any such incident that questioned how the central money is using by the state, other than the one recently happened in which Prime minister’s team questioned to IBOBI about the development  of Manipur. It is because of the autonomy given to us. Meaning, we are given to grow in our own. We had chosen this at the time we signed in the process of merging with Indian Union. Why Manipur do not grow is not because we do not get enough autonomy, nor we do not get enough attention from the Center but because of gross mismanagement within the state.

In order to go ahead it is always good to look back within ourselves once before complaining. We are making the need but not the solution for what we need.

Why Islamic Terrorism Arose ?

We read many research articles whose findings are obvious, many research findings of problems and issues whose solution is nowhere feasible. It seems sometimes highly educated peoples are trying to create jobs themselves.

Every organism knows why Islamic terrorist came out. Why they target only USA, but no other country. Is it because terrorist uneducated? Is it because they are in below poverty line? No, they are humiliated by USA and his allied forces. Chances are very high that Human rights violation may lead to violence retaliation but the chances for violence are very in case of poverty.

Why there is inverse relationship trend of unemployment with education in Palestine, meaning increase in unemployment as the educational level increases, is not because marginal utility for education has decreases but because of over attack Israeli forces like destroying Olive fields, demolishing houses, occupying already settled areas by demolishing houses altogether can’t make a conducive environment to run an economic business.

It’s really ridiculous to read an article on “economic aid in Islamic breeding country will help reduce breeding terrorism” in the country in which there had not been any aid so far. Why they are studying in the country, Palestine where there had not been any aid from any non-Islamic country like US rather than Pakistan where aids are going like water supply pipe. Educated are more irrational.

Is there any research that support that USA should allow to enrich nuclear in Israel and should stop in Iran? Is there any list of countries that support USA for these same acts? No, I bet. It’s only Israel and Britain.

If USA is going to use force, as declared very recently, in order to stop nuclear enrichment in Iran, the same rule should be applied to Israel also. Otherwise, it is an axiom that one must agree the discrimination by USA against Islamic countries.

What is the objective of the life of every organism ?

We all organisms struggle for survival,

Struggle for  existence !

Struggle for survival through what?

Struggle for survival through food!

Food for what?

Food for sex!

Sex for what ?

Sex for progeny!

Progeny for what?

Progeny for continuation!

Continuation itself is survival,

Survival itself is continuation!

Objective of life  of every organism is what?

It is nothing other than reproduction!

Do any organism tend to stop reproduction?

Any organism never does!

Does it feasible  if it happen so, like few elite human does ?

It is never feasible in the ecosystem of natural order!

Stop of reproduction is what?

It is nothing but stop of continuation!

Stop is reproduction is again what?

It is nothing but stop of survival!

Again, does any organism tend to stop survival?

It never happens so, else "struggle for existence" never existed !

                          *************

Then, what stands for 'population control'?

It stands nothing for but the legitimate policy of mighty humans!

It is the selfish strategy of mighty humans to retain their max share of the bread.

It is the hegemony of small family by mighty humans will be accepted by all slowly.

It is the shallow mind of human beings

All done and doing are unintended and unpredicted !

How far this 'population control' will go?

This will go till its symptom emits in the order by nature !

Then what?

Shallow minds of humans may start thinking for resuming continuation!

Coming back, what is continuation?

It is nothing but survival or existence!

Existence is what?

It nothing but only progeny!

It is nothing but reproduction,

that can never be stopped nor slower !!

Commentary: 

A naturalist view point--

We can control the population growth. Unfortunately, this is not allowed by the system of natural order. Corollary it does mean we cannot do this. The policy of population control is the policy of rich people who want to retain their existing major share of resource. This becomes the living style for everyone rich to poor. Although this is not sustainable at all. It is mere a decoration for short time who want to enjoy for short time just like fire-fly that enjoy flying into fire, knowingly/unknowingly, and dies out. 

Demographic Transition

Human being will not do like this, they will resume their reproduction rate like before. Or may continue the same small family living style, and the whole man kind population may dwindle slowly.  1st phase of the transition was natural, equilibrium of birth rate and death rate which was at higher rate that looks like sustainable (by deduction but not established). The 1st  phase was manipulated(through industrialization) by man and came to 2nd phase in which human face the problem of over crowded owing to industrialization.

Then, man again started thinking for manipulation of the growth(exploded) in 2nd phase also, and reach to 3rd phase of transition(matured industrialization phase) in which both birth rate and death rate low, equilibrium at far lower rate vis-a-vis 1st phase, which is again not sustainable for the human generation. This has already face in few countries who have obtain replacement rate of growth, the 4th phase. The number of such countries is adding by years such as China, will keep on adding. 

Human being will love to back to the 2nd phase of demographic transition, in which both birth rate(CBR, C=Crude) is higher than death rate(CDR), but it cannot be happen so when we all are internalized with 3th phase .

As for equity and disparity, this control can never be the solution. It is just a quick resort, just a mechanical solution for short term. The solution could be to share equally. Population growth per se is not a problem, but the desire to get major share by few is the problem. Population surplus will be check by nature itself through 'natural check' (Malthus theory of population) like natural calamities.  We are not dare to check ourselves, else we face the symptoms as we already have got it, as mentioned above.  

All these, as talked above, are perhaps because of man's manipulation with intended thought for short term enjoyment and turns out unpredicted consequences, or all bigoted like this kind of mind only someone who control us. So, perhaps, this can be a manipulation by someone who control the universe, as there is always death for whom is born.

"Man struggle for food and sex"      
                                                                             - Albert Einstein

Is it fair one to regulate the food habit of others ?

Grown up with science but act like uneducated. It is quite difficult for me to understand the exact psychology of man that people have strong scientifically method of inquiry and making judgment, but why does it not happen with religious matter ?

We are born as Omnivore not as either Carnivore or Herbivore. We have canine teeth to eat meat, we have mole for both veg and non-veg, we have stomach to digest both veg and meat which unlike either in cat family which cannot digest vegetable or cow family animals which neither chew nor digest meat. We naturally follow the food chain, the trophic level of eating. All these are natural orders. 

We all know plants also do feel pain if we say that cows and other animals feel pain only the difference is the number of senses which the plants have four sense (there is commonly known) while we humans have five basic senses out of which 'touch' is genuinely common to both plants and animals.

Discriminating a living being based on the sense (and size) which can or cannot stimulate to our action is illogical, unscientific and beyond sympathy. It's discrimination in human terminology to speak broadly and all are same in front of this logical point of view; we are following just the natural path and source of trophic.  The point is that all these are in the system of food chain. We cannot distort this natural path of food chain. 

Why Muslims are prohibited to eat pork is that pork has lethal tapeworm that is difficult to kill at far high level of temperature of boiling which is beyond our common man's ability to cook at that much of high temperature. There is conditional flexibility in this Islamic law also that Muslims are allow to eat pork if there comes such a situation where there is no food to eat except pork. And, why Muslim take out blood of terrestrial animals called as halal way of killing is for the medical benefits while consuming the meat.

And, if we think of conserving the number or the family of the species whether we humans eat, say, the cow or not the cow or the animal will die of some or some other reason, we cannot save the animal from being dead. Many species which none of them are not the prey of human beings are endangered and many has come to brink of extinction while many has already extinct.

And, putting a law by a group of people to regulate the food habit of some other group of people is nothing but just the violation of their rights. I would call this Jungle Law which is visibly constructed  by a group of educated people for some vested interest. No man will not want to live under this kind of social contract. 

Indian School Syllabus: A big hole at primary, a bug at the top

Children of North East states of India which are in Chicken Head of India know a lot about many thing of Indian mainland. They know the difference between Old Delhi and New Delhi along with pictures even when they didn't went, some will not go even but few may. They know about Kanyakumari, they know about Tipu Sultan, they know about Tantia Tope, they know about Janshi, they know about Mysore and a lot more from East to West and North to South. 

Does children of mainland India know  anything about North East Indian States most of which joined in and around 1972?

This 1972 is neither yesterday nor day before yesterday; rather it is before New Economic Policy(NEP, 1991) which all students of both the sides know about, but not the geography of North East Region(NER) which was in and around 1972. Ask to a student of Delhi university, one of the most reputed University of India,  she/he will answer nothing correct, not necessarily everyone. It is my experience and perhaps for many student came from NER. It is because nothing about NER is in the syllabus of any central book either in secondary or higher secondary.

People of NER may not be considered as asset of property of India, but no doubt the territory is, I am sure.  Does there no right for the students of mainland India to know all about what is laying at least on the boundary of India? Students of mainland India is missing of the knowledge about the extreme north of India , i.e. Jammu and Kashmir, if so but with incorrect and outdated map and same is the case for the whole of Chicken Head i.e NER. It is called as Chicken Head because it looks like so, and NER is called to be connected at Chicken's Neck, that is the region of North Bengal which has the width of 22km in the west while it is 33km in the east, and also called as Siliguri Neck.

After all the point what I want to make is about the discrimination of the region from the syllabus of school children of mainland India. It is also a discrimination of school children that prevent them from knowing about the geography and history of NER.

Thus a student who don't know about NER may become a bureaucrat (please forget ICS), as happened in Delhi University who became graduate without having knowledge about NER. He may become an important politician of India, but still with lack of(basic-not internalized) knowledge until and unless he has extra interest to do so.

Ultimately he forget to care about the territory which fall in NER of India, which then becomes conducive for neighboring countries like China in the East (Arunachal Pradesh) and Pakistan in North (Jammu and Kashmir) to eat up Indian territory as slowly as candle burns up in course of decades long time, may reach the half of the candle but cannot regain the burned part once done.  The same is happened in Arunachal Pradesh that China called this Indian state is Southern Tibet after being eaten up thousand of kilometer of the state. India cannot regain this eaten up portion once eaten.  

This is the symptom of the hole which we find in the primary level and confronting now at planning level and still they, as they don't knowledge about NER, don't find any sustainable solution to fix the bug in Indian boundary. Seems India will be it is as it was until it is fixed at primary level but not at international level.
