This document discusses the legacy of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. It notes that Gandhi had laser-like focus, a steely resolve, and strong mental strength. Her absence has left India unsure of which direction to go. The document portrays Gandhi as a symbol of hope and aspiration for poor and hungry millions in India who previously had nothing to hope for or live for. It suggests that a fully functioning democracy must address long-standing issues related to development, knowledge, and responsibility rather than just displays of discontent.

Megachange: The World in 2050
The document discusses predictions for the world in 2050 based on 20 essays covering topics like population, social revolution, technology, and corporations. Some key points include: the world's population is expected to be older and more urban, with half of growth in Africa; innovation will be key to determining if the future results in doom or boom; and China may overtake the US as the world's largest economy as early as 2018. Black swan events and other surprises could alter expectations.
Women Empowerment
Women's empowerment involves women gaining power and decision-making ability in areas they were previously denied access to. Empowerment means including women in the decision-making process. The Gender Empowerment Measure was created by the UN to measure gender inequality globally based on women's economic status, participation in high-paying jobs, and access to political positions. Malala Fund is an organization founded by Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai that fights for girls' education worldwide. E-government programs aim to promote women's empowerment and gender equality but require alignment of norms, rules and practices to prevent circumvention of women's rights.
Poverty an insight
Poverty,an economic condition in which people lack sufficient income to obtain certain minimal levels of health services, food, housing, clothing and education generally recognized as necessary to ensure an adequate standard of living. What is considered adequate, however, depends on the average standard of living in a particular society
Migration And Push Pull Factors
- The document discusses migration push and pull factors, with push factors being reasons people leave an area like lack of services or poverty, and pull factors being reasons people move to a new area like higher employment or better services.
- It also addresses population growth issues in LEDCs, noting high birth rates balanced by high death rates in Stage 2 of the demographic transition model. Urbanization is increasing in LEDCs due to migration, high birth rates, and declining death rates.

[Challenge:Future] SOLVING YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT THROUGH ENTERPRENUERSHIP
The document discusses youth unemployment in Nigeria and proposes entrepreneurship as a solution. It identifies several categories of unemployed youth including graduates, semi-skilled, and unskilled workers. Common causes of unemployment are rural-to-urban migration, unstable government, pursuit of white-collar jobs, population growth, and expanded education. Effects include urban overcrowding, lack of policy continuity, and more qualified job seekers than positions. Everyone shares responsibility for the problem. The key to solving it is entrepreneurship in sectors like agriculture, ICT, small businesses, and innovation. Entrepreneurship involves creating solutions to problems and turning talents into innovations for profit. It can be encouraged through innovative agriculture, improved online information,
DANCE OF DEMOCRACY
The document discusses the struggles of poverty in India's political system and daily lives. It notes that politicians and officials often fail to strike a balance between hope and caution, instead misguiding poor citizens for personal gain. Many programs aimed at poverty fall short of their goals by being isolated and lacking coordination. The document suggests appointing Nandan Nilkeni as President to bring a more hopeful vision that helps India fulfill its early promise and addresses the root causes of why poverty has little credibility within the current political systems.
India legal 15 December 2016
While Modi claims demonetization has helped the common man, opponents see it as an opportunity to gain in upcoming state elections. The move has caused economic disruption and hardship. Experts argue the lack of preparation and assessment of consequences has led to problems. Rural areas have been hit hard as farmers need cash for inputs just as the crisis arose. Manual scavenging continues despite being illegal, denying dignity to workers. Environmental concerns are ignored in the name of development. Cybercrime losses are rising globally and in India. The Supreme Court dismissed a petition to lift the Jallikattu ban, showing compassion.

Independence Day
India's future is bright. Despite heavy odds, India has made tremendous progress. The elephant is on roll now.
Whose development is it our hon'ble ruling class
This document discusses India's level of development compared to other countries based on various metrics like the Human Development Index (HDI), literacy rates, hunger levels, unemployment, farmer suicides, and poverty rates. It argues that India has failed to achieve adequate development despite its large size and population. Natural resources alone do not determine development - the attitudes and capabilities of leaders are more important. However, current government policies in India are concentrating wealth and national resources in the hands of a few private individuals at the expense of the 130 crore people of India. As a result, real development for the whole country is unlikely in the near future. The document concludes that the attitude of rulers must improve towards more positive policies to enable India's development.
Leadership crisis in indian politics
The document discusses the current leadership crisis in Indian politics. It notes that while India has many political parties, it is still waiting for effective leadership. The country lacks leaders who can unite citizens and work for the larger good of society. Additionally, the current prime minister is seen as a silent leader who has failed to manage the country or provide a vision for the future. The document argues that India needs a visionary, strong, and determined leader who can inspire the masses and place the country's interests above all else. It reflects on great leaders from India's independence movement as examples of effective leadership.

The document discusses the current leadership crisis in Indian politics. It notes that while India has many political parties, it is still waiting for effective leadership. The country lacks leaders who can unite citizens and work for the larger good of society. The current political leadership is characterized by policy paralysis, economic struggles, and a lack of vision. Some root causes identified are the large number of parties that divide society, lack of awareness about party agendas, corruption, and few qualified people entering politics. Effective past leaders like Gandhi were able to inspire masses and sacrifice for India's independence and unity. What is needed today is a similar visionary, strong, and determined leader who can reignite passion for the country and place
Poverty...

India - a developing nation
India is still considered a developing nation despite making remarkable progress socially, economically, and politically over the past seven decades of independence. While some aspects are world-class, issues affecting most citizens indicate ongoing development needs. The document outlines key challenges India still faces including healthcare access, education, poverty, population growth, corruption, and women's safety that must be addressed for India to be classified as a developed country.

Blazing the Trail for Corruption
This document is a series of short essays by Gerald J. Furnkranz on the topic of corruption. The essays discuss the seeds of corruption taking root in institutions and society through corrupt leadership. They describe the "deep state" and extreme corruption within the government, including the FBI, DOJ and Congress. One essay argues that honesty and truth have been lost due to personal agendas, making it difficult to discern facts. Another criticizes "political experience" and argues indoctrination has replaced education in schools and universities. The document promotes a critique of corruption across different levels of government and other institutions.
Rural industrialization
This document discusses the need for rural industrialization and decentralized manufacturing as the future of sustainable technology. It argues that centralized, capital intensive technologies have led to skewed economic growth and increasing inequity. Decentralized manufacturing, especially of daily goods in small rural industries, could generate more equitable growth by providing local employment. The IITD-KVIC project aimed to strengthen rural industries through science and technology interventions. Some successes included adapting finishing technologies to improve khadi quality, developing quality control standards, and improving products like soap, leather and pottery through chemical engineering inputs. The project helped set up the Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Rural Industrialization to continue developing appropriate rural technologies.

This document summarizes a paper that argues for moving India from a multi-party parliamentary democracy to a three-party presidential democracy. It discusses issues with the current system, including Arrow's impossibility theorem, unequal development and wealth distribution, and the proliferation of regional and religious parties. The paper analyzes India's political and economic situation and argues that changing to a three-party presidential system could help address problems and better facilitate sustained economic growth if certain other reforms are also implemented, such as reducing micro-nationalism and increasing education.

This document summarizes a paper that argues for moving India from a multi-party parliamentary democracy to a three-party presidential democracy. It discusses issues with the current system, including uneven development and inequality. It references Arrow's impossibility theorem and Pareto optimality to argue rational voting is not possible with many parties. The paper aims to show why current initiatives have failed to address socioeconomic issues and argues changing the democratic system itself is needed. It takes the position that with three large national parties focused on issues rather than religion/caste/region, leaders could better tackle national challenges to raise welfare.
Politicians of India
Politicians in India are pushing reforms but some are more successful than others. Failing reforms and a collapse could limit freedom of expression. Poverty remains widespread and is difficult to eliminate, despite political leaders focusing on growth, luxury, and high salaries. The document expresses admiration for late prime minister Indira Gandhi's strong leadership and resolve.
lead indai
The document discusses corruption in India. It states that corruption is a major cause of India's backwardness. Corruption involves illegal or dishonest activities to earn money or get things done. India ranks poorly on transparency international's corruption index, with widespread corruption in government and administration. If India were less corrupt, it could save billions stored in foreign banks, have a stronger economy and educational system, and better relations between citizens and government. The document provides suggestions for reducing corruption such as educating people, encouraging transparency, and reforming government oversight.
Rulers class to meet their own personal interest
The document summarizes how India's ruling class has failed to meet the expectations of the people after independence in several key areas:
1. Politically, democracy has lost its soul of representation, with weaker communities and women making up a small minority in legislature.
2. Economically, GDP growth has declined sharply while inflation and wealth disparity have increased drastically.
3. In foreign policy, relations with neighbors have become strained by abruptly shifting policies designed to win elections rather than benefit the people.
4. Public assets are being increasingly privatized while corruption and bank fraud have risen tremendously.
We are we can what the fuck
This document criticizes politicians for promoting policies that benefit elites while claiming to help the majority. It argues politicians play a "tricky game" over citizens' lives for their own gain. The document calls for exposing politicians' "double face occupation" through empirical evidence, and "delegitimizing their occupation as rulers of a democratic society." It accuses politicians of drinking a "poison" that makes them "evil" and causes harm, and suggests their rhetoric can brainwash people similarly to religious sermons. In conclusion, it tells politicians to stop lying and be more modest in their rule before citizens rise up against them.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING HUMAN
The document discusses the changes in American society due to technological advances and increased mobility, mechanization, and privatization. It argues this has led to social disintegration through a decline in community participation, unstructured growth, and limited freedoms. It suggests taking steps to encourage stability, such as promoting family and discouraging mobility, and transforming society's focus from productivity to human values.
