Demonitization by PM and Whispers

The idea of banning high denomination notes was published by WIC on Feb 22, 2010 and again in March 2010.

http://www.whispersinthecorridors.com/news.html

The two news items in the above context were written by N Natarajan and was published with a question of Political Will ! Now action by the Prime Minister has shown that such political will still prevails in this country.

POLITICS

Has Nitish lost national importance ?
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, these days, seems to have lost national importance and thus confined himself to Bihar.

Secrecy was paramount. ..
AM Tyagi is iceberg ka tip!!
For sure Air Force's prestige has taken a dip!!
And it's said he's implicated PMO!!
Which during MMS tenure was GMO (General Manager's Office)!!
Buck never stops at GMO!!
GMO se oopar the Buck always does go!!
And ludicrousness of Congress!!
Iss mein bhi Demonitisation ka button kiya press!
Congress blames Demonitisation for Tyagi's arrest!!
No..no ..its not been said in zest!!
The Baba continues his rants!!
As usual without iota of sense chants! !
Who held up both Houses for 16 days!!
Even the real Gandhi ji is in a daze!!
Everyday they gathered in front of his statue!!
If he could he'd have shouted shoo!!
Oppostion chose to speak outside both Houses!!
Modi doing tit for tat is one of their grouses!!
Ultimately Modi took his case to the Jan Sabha!!
As there was just pandemonium in Lok and Rajya Sabha!
He came to Parliament to debate!!
But Opposition just vent it's 'hate'!!
And then FM was there to answer them all!!
Then why keep demanding PM ko karro call!!
And is voting mandatory post every debate???
Faltu mein hulla Opposition karr rahi hai create!!
Maybe initially they thought 'pressure karro use'!!
Jitna karr sakko Modi ko karro accuse!!
In the hope he will buckle!!
And retract Demonetisation and at him they'd chuckle!!
Modi did not buckle!!
Opposition has had to buckle and guess koun karr raha hai chuckle!
You can stretch unreasonablity to an extent!!
And over the limit Opposition went!!
Ultimately Feedback they got from the ground,
Public don't want Demonetization to be 'unwound'!!
We are waiting for The Baba's Quake waali speech!!
Maybe koyi karr raha hai Baba ko speech delivery teach!!
And Baba ji Quake is measured on Richer Scale! !
'Your Quake' will be measured on Laughter Scale!
Fact check: Planning Demonitisation and secrecy are inversely proportional!
Iron clad and nothing optional!!
Confucius says ... People crying for planning actually know!!
If it was done info about Demonitisation would literally flow!!
Adds...And Demonitisation would fail!!!
And now wait there is a big sting for Blackeeyas in the tail!!

"Why no Code of Etiquette for politicians ?"

Delhi CM's non-conformance to accepted standards of dignity and respectability has gone overboard. His calling PM Modi a 'psychopath' , LG Delhi 'a sychophant of PM, a "Headmaster, Principal and Hitler", is unpardonable. A loose cannon and a serial accuser. These are non-democratic traits of a non-performing CM . Of late, Delhi's CM accused the Govt of tapping judges phones in presence of PM and CJI. The allegation was made at the centenary celebrations of Delhi High Court when the PM, CJI, Law minister and top judiciary were present, among others. Is Delhi's CM not obligated to produce evidences by revealing names of two judges, on basis of whose conversations the allegation was made ? Is Delhi CM above Law of the land ?
The CJI, in whose presence, the allegation was made, may take suo motto cognizance of charges and order investigation

Indian copyrights laws being tested

The Judgement of the Double Bench of the Delhi High Court dated 9/12/16 in the case of Oxford University Press & Others V/s Rameshawri Photocopiers on the Delhi University campus has attracted wide attention, though the law on copyright in India has yet to develop to the extent in other countries. There is something inherently lacking in us as a society that makes us belittle copyright, intellectual property right, patents, trademarks and brands. Had demonetization been done by China, our liberal intellectuals would have jumped at it as the best solution to black money issues, and if done in the America or England it would have been acclaimed worthy of emulation here. We don't value our own innovations, discoveries, research, development and achievements because we are used to copy freely free of cost. We want everything for free. But a lot of research goes into reaching the prototype stage before the product or service is fully developed. Thereafter, a lot of effort goes into marketing it. It all costs a lot of effort by some of the best brains and money of the investors. We as a nation hardly encourage investment in R&D of our own but want all the benefits of the works of others. When will we start promoting research in our universities? I would like to cite a small example. The President of India had launched one language learning software developed by the GOI in Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. After some time, a leading English newspaper published a story of someone launching the same in a foreign country. The Newspaper never apologized or retracted its story. Presently, valuable research work is done by officials, who never get any credit. Is the instrument of demonetization not a proof of that? Hasn't the Whispersinthecorridors.com posted many brilliant ideas from retired and serving public servants about much needed "administrative reforms"? A simple comparison of these brief essays in administrative quality improvement with those from the IIPA or similar other institutions and publishing it in a report form will prove the originality and all encompassing ideas for highest standards of public service. Government could have escaped the embarrassment of scams, policy paralysis or dysfunction had their value been acknowledged. The cost of ignoring R&D to the nation is that we are still "importing" books on every subject (actually knowledge) without much of "export". Our authors have yet to produce the kind of books which are being plagiarized or photocopied. It is a matter of grave concern for a country aspiring to become a super power. Our laws too are foreign for us in the socio-cultural sense. How much of the Indian Constitution is "original" and how much simply scissors & paste work? How long should it go on? The OUP V/s Rameswari is significant in that context, but does not appear to have received the same attention of our courts. It would be very interesting to watch it reach the final stage. I only wonder what would be our stand when, if ever, books of Indian authors get prescribed in foreign universities and get freely photocopied.
