Who should vote in India ?

For good governance in India, along with good candidates contesting, we also need better voters.
So I think if a law is made that only people holding 10+2 degree can vote,then it will make a significant difference !!!
Its a debatable Idea, but think about the consequences.
Politicians can no longer fool voters or buy voters.
On the other hand voters will demand report card of politicians from their tenure on chair.

Why Dual Sim? Why not Super Sim?

What if TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India)  issues a Super Sim which allows us  to connect to     any cellular service provider , anytime  anywhere !

Every mobile has an option to Manually search available operator network  in our locality

Settings --> Phone --> Network --> Operator Selection : Manual

 But we are not allowed to connect to a Network other than that of our sim.

 e.g.  if you have Docomo sim in your mobile then you cannot connect to Airtel network

 What if we are given access to connect !

 Let me put the features of Super Sim that differ from ordinary Sim,

 so that you can visualize it more clearly :

Ø  It can connect to any Operator Network.

o    Manually search and select a network which has the strongest signal strength at  your locality.

Ø   Every Super Sim will have a unique number which is fixed until it is destroyed.

Ø   Based on the time duration and mode of activity (GPRS, sms, calling within India or ISD etc) and tariff of the network of usage, we  will be charged.

o   TRAI will have our account and we need to recharge to this account.

Ø   There will be no concept of Roaming as long as we are confined to India.

o    Anyhow Roaming system will be lifted by TRAI soon.

 Advantages:

ü  It eliminates the need of Dual Sim or multiple sims and no Mobile number portability required.

ü We can utilize the best of all Networks! Suppose network 'x' provides cheapest 2G or 3G tariffs, and Network 'Y' has cheapest sms tariff and network 'z' has lowest call tariff .

o   You can avail the benefit of all three !!!

ü   National Security Agencies will have database of every mobile user, which can be used in actions against act of Terrorism.

ü   Now no more "out of coverage" during your Train journeys.

 Disadvantages :

·     Selecting a network each time can be irritating, but we can have an App for it which would make switching between networks super easy

 Apart from this i don't see any other disadvantage from consumer point of view.  Please criticize.

It is sickening to see kids begging at crossroads

It is sickening to see kids begging at crossroads.

Hands that should be holding a pen/pencil are instructed to beg !!!

They(Children) don't have a choice! Nobody cares what they want.

I see mothers carry their kids and use them as a tool to gain sympathy of donors.

A painful sight to see.

Kids, who just learnt to walk are brought into this cruel Business...yes, this is a bushiness !

A Business by their guardian.

The Constitution of India in the Fundamental Rights and the Directive Principles of State Policy prohibits

child labour below the age of 14 years in any factory or mine or engaged in any other hazardous employment (Article 24).

So does this not come under Child Labour Act ?

Why aren't their guardians punished ?

Now lets dig deep and think what could be the reason. Lets do a role play.

Beggar :               MONEY . We don't have enough money to provide them with education.

Responsible Citizen :

                             The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act of 2009: The law                       mandates free and compulsory education to all children aged 6 to 14 years. This legislation also mandated that 25 percent of seats in every private school must be allocated for children from disadvantaged groups and physically challenged children.So you just need to allow them that's it.

Beggar :              What about Food ? We need money for food too.Does government provide free food         too ?

Citizen :                Hmmm....(Only during natural disaster.People having  BPL card or ration card get food at very low cost, but government doesn't provide free food.They just cannot because if they do then 'To Whom exactly ?' , 'How much ?' 'For How Long ?'...with this economy it is just not possible to feed millions.)

Why don't you work? I have seen many beggars who are fit to work but still they beg . You people made a business out of it.You are just lazy people and seeking the easiest way to earn money. Feed your family for yourself.

Beggar :               I agree sir there are few people who made beggary a business. But they are just a fraction of the millions.Most are physically handicapped, cant work . we beg and make our children to beg too,So that we can survive.

Citizen :               What kind of survival is that ? Why do you need to survive with such a life . That just doesn't make sense. And why to reproduce when you know to cannot give a decent life to your children ?

Beggar :              Don't talk about what has already happened. nobody can change it. moreover we hope one day our children will get us out of here.

So friends is there a solution to it ?

For our country to prosper we must eradicate poverty and illiteracy.

What could the government do to solve this deadlock ?
