Let's bring about a Positive Change

The essence of “Tilak Stotra” is “Badlav” or The Change! 

 Change in the way we think as Individuals and as a society. Change in our attitude as a Nation. Change in our personality from being servants of the world to be the leaders of communities’ world wide; to sponsor peace, harmony and exchange of knowledge. 

 Let it be known to friends and others that Hindustan was, is and always will be a powerful nation of ideas and ideals and that a powerful nation is not known by the wars it fights; but for the peace that it ensures within the country and across the world! The concept of Hindustan in this 21st Century: The People! 

The people of India will ensure that the nation is a strongly – disciplined and regulated society with strict standards of civil and social discipline. ‘Discipline’ will be the Mantra of the Nation! Punishment for violation of social, civil and criminal laws will be severe and punitive. 

The people will work towards achieving a strong and balanced society by observing a few simple rules that enhance living standards and ensure peace within the nation. 

The Change in Government work procedures: 

a) Expanding the work hours of the Government offices to catch up with the work load back log as well as to give more work time for the government employees as well as to the people who approach the government department for various purposes. The Government of Hindustan will work in two shifts; from 6 AM to 2 PM and again from 3PM to 11 PM. All government departments will work Monday through Friday and the nation will enjoy a full 48 hours weekend every week. The only exemptions will be the Police and Emergency personnel which will work 24/7/365 to ensure the availability of assistance to the people at all times. 

b) There will be only two government holidays. Independence Day (15th August) and Republic Day (26th January). All other civil, religious, political and sundry holidays will be cancelled. This will assist the government to catch up with the work of national governance and ensure an effective government. 

 c) Extended work hours in the Government will ensure that the Government work force will have to be doubled. This will mean a 100% immediate increase in employment for the youth of our nation. 

d) All government offices will be technologically upgraded so that work flow is efficient and time saving. 

e) Government departments will be legally required to reach a final decision within 30 days of the start of any work file in any department; from the Central level, all the ways down to District & Town level. Violation of this policy by Government officials will be punishable severely in the form of loss of employment as well as punitive financial punishments. 

f) The pay and financial benefits of the Government employees will be on par with those employees in the private industrial / commercial sector; and there will be substantially extra financial benefits to those employees who exceed the general performance standards. The change in Social procedures and the contribution of the People: 

g) All citizens will proudly wear any of our National dress(s) during all work hours. 

h) The morning hours from 4 AM till 12 Noon will be used by the Radio & TV Media to publicize national and cultural aspects of the nation; by broadcasting national / patriotic / cultural songs and programs that reinforce the image of a strong and progressive nation. The radio & TV media will have full freedom to broadcast all entertainment programs post noon till 3 AM; as long as such entertainment is not obscene in any form or manner. 

i) The use of foul language in public or inside government establishments will be deemed a cognizable offense and punished punitively. 

j) The use of foul and or obscene language by any person (male or female) towards any other person within the confines of the residences will be deemed as a cognizable offense; if it is reported to the police officials by any other member of the family or a visitor, and will be punished punitively. 

k) The use of footpaths, over- bridges, under-passes used for pedestrian traffic for any purpose other than walking will be a cognizable offense. Pedestrian areas are meant for pedestrians and the use of these areas as shops, hutments, or any other purpose will be punished harshly. 

l) The use of public areas for spitting or for releasing of body waste(s) will be a criminal offense and punished harshly. 

m) Punishment for Civil offenses will start with a minimum 03 years in a civil prison camp and people so convicted will become part of the prison workers detail which will be used to clean up the nations filth and garbage dumps, repair roads, build gardens, water lawns and work on the farm – fields.

Let's make our country Great ....

Jai Hind 

 

 

Social Discipline and Crime Control

Social Discipline and Crime: 

The issue of the lack of social discipline and the growing criminal tendencies cannot be ignored any longer. The growing criminal activity is a direct result of socio-economic-political factors and can be attributed to a succession of weak governments and an even weaker and inappropriate legal structure. 

Criminality is on the rise, simply because the mechanism of law and order and prosecution of crime is both inadequate and slow in its process. This problem can only be tackled by a complete overhaul of our legal system and its mechanisms. While legal luminaries in India could give much better advise on the changes required in our legal system, the basic requirement is making the courts more people friendly and efficient. 

It is strongly believed that a ‘jury’ system will not only ensure a fair trial for the accused, but will also ease the strain that is put upon the judges as they singularly tackle a ever increasing work load. 

A social code of conduct is required on an immediate basis that not only prescribes the way that the individuals should conduct themselves in public places, but would also emphasize the manner in which social groups have to conduct themselves as a whole. This code of conduct, strictly enforced, will definitely reduce the social crimes that afflict the majority of our people today. This will not, in any form or manner, impinge upon the individual’s right to privacy, but will help in streamlining social interaction amongst the people. 

Social code of conduct would cover the areas of noise pollution, cleanliness in the streets and in municipal wards, ease of removal of garbage, prohibit the misuse of public areas as open air urinals and latrines, prohibit the use of public areas as spittoons, and allow for a smooth and easier use of public facilities like footpaths and foot bridges. 

The removal of footpath vendors would be a prime concern towards a better and safer use of footpaths, as would be the redesigning of the pubic facilities for use by handicapped persons. Most of the social issues in our nation today can be attributed to a weak mechanism for prosecution of crime. Criminality has been glorified as a medium of social change, but this in fact has proven (by recent events in Maharashtra and Karnataka) to be precursor in organized crime involving all strata of society and the bureaucracy. 

Crime prosecution figures are as varied as the groups that poll these figures. But, the perception amongst the general population is that much of the criminal activity is unchallenged by the government; thereby reinforcing in the mind of both the people and the criminals that the rule of the law is weak and impotent. The suggestions for improving the current situation is as follows: 

 a) The deployment on a crisis basis of Citizens Identity Cards. 

b) Upgrading of the police and law enforcement departments with modern machinery to track and investigate crime and persons associated with criminal activities. 

c) Sharing of criminal files amongst city, state and central law enforcement agencies on a real time basis to ensure a free flow of information for prevention of crime. 

d) A stronger and affirmative legal structure that allows for a faster prosecution of criminals. 

e) A hard labor based punishment policy for criminals that allow the society to utilize the physical and mental talents of convicted criminals. 

f) A provision under law to appropriate and sell assets of economic and serious crime offenders, in order to confiscate illegal earning and return them to the government treasury, which in turn will self-finance the criminal prosecution efforts. 

g) The restoration of the death penalty for heinous crimes. It has been proved in societies around the globe and over periods of time that a successful and strong nation is always the result of the strength of character and discipline among its individual citizens.
