We do not love our country like a mother, who loves her child
even if the child is blind or invalid. Our problems can be solved
without difficulty, if we love our country like a mother.
-
India has continued as an independent democratic country for
53 years with a population of 100 crore inspite of warnings
of Lord Birkenhead, Secretary of State (1925) that India is
not a nation. We have population of Dravidian - Age, Industrial
Age, Computer Age, and Space Age. English language and Railways
have kept us united.
-
We are prisoners of our beliefs. Ministers, M.P's, M.L.A., Judges
and Agriculturists believe that they are entitled to get free
facilities without paying tax and we belong to different class
of society. The above approach of each one of them should be
changed. The period of "Free-Lunch" is over. They
should accept reality and voluntarily accept that all facilities
should be treated as perquisites and tax should be charged.
Dr. Raja J. Chelliah in his report 1991 had recommended to tax
all allowances of the M.P.'s. The citizens of India will not
pay their taxes unless above class of people change their beliefs
and attitudes on the above subject. The pension of Mr. Bill
Clinton, President of U.S.A. was fixed about 1,57,000 Dollars
per-year, and the pension is taxable and no Bunglow or premises
is allotted to him. He had to purchase his own bunglow. U.S.A.
dominates the world on sacrifices of their leaders and on their
systems, where every one is treated equally.

Two major problems face the country. Water & Unemployment.
There are six crore people, 2 core 79 lacs organised employees,
rest professionals, businessmen and rich agriculturists. Let
each one of them save water by making percolating wells or by
such other method so that water is saved and preserved for the
future generations.
-
Let well placed six crore people multiplied by 5-members = 30
crore people decide and follow one principle in the life.
"I will not die as debtor to society. I will donate
my eyes and will try to create as many jobs as possible.
" Unemployment problem can be solved on change of attitude
of above people.
-
Let each of six crore people adopt one family without offending
dignity of them and help them by giving so many extra things
lying in our houses. Help them in their education and managing
their finances and impart importance of family planning. On
our efforts, life of other 30 crore people can be made worthwhile
to live.
-
Buddhism has enumerated some acts of merit. Let each one of
us rise to the occasion in this difficult times facing the country
and follow atleast two acts of merit namely.
- Poverty
- Donation Mrs Kiran Vasant Desai left for heavenly abode
in an accident on 05.03.1989. She had left her house on 22/06/1951
in order to join me, without wearing chappals. She was enrolled
as an advocate in 1964 and practiced in the High Court of Gujarat.
She was the secretary of Gujarat High Court Bar Association.
She had practiced as a notary for period of 13 years and notarised
hundreds of wills. The testator executing the will did not give
monies to the institutions working for the society or to the deserving
persons. The attitude of the testator has not changed as I have
also notarised number of wills since 1990.
There are about 83000 Parsis in India. To give donations is part
of their Dharma. One of the Tata Family members executed the will,
and gave entire wealth by creating the trust. The trustees managed
the trust well and India has got four different Tata Institutes
including Tata Cancer Hospital which are rendering services to
the public at large without any distinction of caste or creed.
No State Government or the Central Government of India can solve
problems of poor people and eradicate poverty. Everyone has got
his own cot, table, chair and cup-board. Can we not make an arrangement
to give above things after us to deserving needy persons ?
The above provision can elevate the standard of living of millions
without any cost.
