As a footnote to my earlier general comments, I would hasten to add that the CVB, in text and essence is a anti-Hindu bill. The sole intention of CVB as it were appears nothing less than but shackle the Hindus at large and corner Narendra Modi in particular. The draft bill is full of contradictions. While the NAC members vocally emphasize that the only intention of the bill is to take appropriate action on the authorities who has shown dereliction of duty in a period of communal crisis. The entire draft does not anywhere stipulate this clause in writing. On the contrary it emphasizes that the 'perpetrators' will be severely punished and not the authorities - refer article 32 and 74 specifically. This is a big conspiracy with draconian consequences to the Hindu Community. There are 7 states where Hindus are in minority. But yet, by virtue of being a national majority, they are susceptible to punishment under this law regardless of being the victims. Though they debate that there is no significant relevant to the word 'majority group' in the bill, that is actually the crux of the bill. The majority group is not defined anywhere in the context of a religion or sect. Therefore, the terminology 'majority group' by default falls on the Majority; the Hindus!

This bill is a carefully connived and dexterously planned blueprint of the intentions the Christian, Muslim and Atheist/Maoist committee called NAC is designing to implement.

This should not be permitted at any cost. Period.

Sir, as usual of you, a very comprehensive blog that has covered precisely the sorry state of affairs our nation is being led to by a pansy Government led by the Congress with of course, not much of inputs coming from its allies who are firmly put away in handicapped delusion.

The dynastic empowerment that the people of India foolishly granted the so called 'first family' is resonating with its routine persecution. When the 'emergency' was an enigma, the post 2009 period is a parable of deliberate follies. To prioritize one over the other would be too judgmental because they all are at contest between themselves as to its superiority. To augment the embarrassment further, CON has unanimously superimposed a 'white' as the transcendental almighty over 1.2 billion people. In no less despotic terms, she has usurped into her command control all those vital arteries that run the nation. The entire Congress conglomerate has been made to shut up and be forced to remain happy with the bones thrown at them by the 'white' lady residing and governing from 10JP and, being a group having petty minuscule capabilities, they remain quite happy with the bones proferred.

That everything about the CON led government is at fault is needless to say. But what is overwhelmingly worrisome is the lack of a formidable political opposition. Unless and until a Opposition worthy of reckoning is made available, there will not be a recourse to the current trend of anarchy prevalent. Let us hope that the BJP finds itself self-realized and arise to this occasion proffered to them in a platter by CON and make best use of it to their and the Nation's benefit, rather to our benefit.

Thanks for the wonderful blog, Sir!

I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with the intentions of MGNREGS per se.

Firstly, a lot of money allotted to the scheme seeps through cracks in the system and ends up in the pockets of politicians. We have been hearing of misuse of NREGS funds in many states.

Secondly, although it is an 'employment guarantee scheme', the way it is operated, it appears to be on the lines of dole, as it is called in the US (the British call it allowance). This is because wages are paid for inconsequential work. Can any state government claim that it has completed 'X' or 'Y' project utilizing the scheme for gainful employment? No. It is more in the nature of political patronage with persons recommended by local party apparatchiks only being the beneficiaries.

A direct corollary of the scheme is shortage of labour for the agriculture sector in rural areas and the construction industry in urban areas.

Finally, as the saying goes, if you give someone a fish, you'll provide him food for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you'll provide him food for life.

A very interesting read. There are many valid and burning questions raised in this post. However, I didn't understand one thing and would like you to elaborate more on this statement:
"spawning a breed of lazy layabouts. In rural areas farmers complain of shortage of labour because of this perverted scheme. Therefore, agriculture which forms the mainstay of our economy is suffering. So is the burgeoning construction industry."
