Politics of Sibu Soren (and his team members), the unfortunate Chief Minister of Unfortunate state Jharkhand has always been to remain in power somehow or the other. He has contributed nothing for tribals in fact. He has done nothing for the state whenever he was in power at state level or at central level .He and his gang men always made efforts to accumulate wealth by extorting money from businessmen, demanding money by vehicles owner passing on the road, or forcefully collecting money from people in service using musclemen of his party. Not only Sibu Soren , even other Chief Ministers and ministers who headed Jharkhand before him and other so called leaders of tribal people of Jharkhand have simply misused tribal sentiments for personal gains. Leaders of Jharkhand mostly indulged in caste politics and almost ignored welfare steps desired to be taken by them as promised by them during election rallies and in their election manifestos.
Otherwise a rich state like Jharkhand after its separation of undivided Bihar could have remained far better than divided Bihar. People in Jharkhand could never imagine that the state of Bihar will attain the prosperity in such a short span of time and leave Jharkhand far behind in the race of development, welfare of local poor residents and improvement of standard of living of people always categorized as the most backward in the country.
I say the people of Jharkhand are unfortunate that despite all mineral resources and lacs of talented people available in the state, people of Jharkhand state are constrained to go to other states for education and also for earning their livelihood. It is unfortunate that even in farming, the state is far behind than the neighboring state Bihar. Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar in particular has turned the image of Bihar and he is proud to get second rank in the matter of development .Nitish Kumar has become an icon to reckon with at national level. On the contrary Jharkhand have been ruined by Chief Minster like Madhu Koda or Sibu Soren. But Personal property of all ministers have grown in hundreds of crores of rupees.
The main reason behind continued backwardness of the state and increasing poverty in the state is large scale corruption prevailing in the system. Unfortunately almost all leaders who ruled the state after its birth looted the state fund to the maximum extent possible. Administrative officers either supported ministers in perpetuating corruption or remained silent spectator in fear of repercussion in their career as also in their personal life. In a state where flattery and bribe are the main criteria for promotion in career in service or position up gradation in politics or for getting success in any business, one cannot even dream of actual development. More or less the same situation prevails all where in the country, but the position of Jharkhand state tops the list of states in this aspect. Central government is also silent spectator of all these mishappenings only to gain political advantage out of mess created by corrupt leaders of local parties and to keep Bhartiya Janta Party away from power. Ultimately people of the state have remained the sufferer and victim of misrule.

Manmohan Singh
Is Female dominated by male in Indian society?
The society is dominated by money power and muscle power and not by male, might is right. Everyone worship who is powerful, gender is irrelevant. In the state of Tamilnadu Jayalalitha is worshipped like goddess. Mayawati is treated as Devi in UP. Indira was treated as India. Even Sonia is followed like Devi. Many Congress leaders are ready to touch her feet to get some good post, respectable birth in cabinet, get a ticket for election etc. Every male member loves his sister, wife, and mother more than his brother, father or anyone else. In many offices lady worker has played effective role. Bank like ICICI is headed by lady Kochar. Indian bank was headed by lady chairman who changed the fate of Indian bank. I therefore do not agree with the saying that lady in India is dominated by male member. There are several males who do not work, who are addict of bad habits, and who are totally incompetent try to dominate forcefully on female .they are few. It will not be an exaggeration if one say that in practice and in real life of a good family, male are dominated by female, not due to any pressure but due to mutual love and respect.
Why Indian depends on USA for all matters related to Pakistan? Can Indian alone not tackle Pakistan?.
This is the great weakness of Indian diplomacy. In the past India used to blindly support USSR and now blindly follow USA. Inspite of all India's image is good in International arena. Even USA considers India as a probable threat in future. USA uses Pakistan as a tool to weaken India to maintain dominance of USA. However India has built the capacity to teach Pakistan lesson and damage it if needed. But in war, loss occurs to both parties. Even Pakistan has developed substantial energy to spoil many parts of India. As such war is enemy of human being, causes loss to warring countries, more or less it may be, loss is loss. All efforts are therefore by peace loving country India to resolve the issue with dialogue or with pressure from super powers of the world as we all peace loving people in India use to do to resolve family or social disputes through dialogue and through intervention of some effective person of the area. . Indian people always condemn terrorism and naxalism. All religions advise for love and mutual respect.
Why people do not revolt against corruption?
There is no revolt against corrupt system because most of the people are corrupt. All are sitting in glass house. Who can dare throwing stone on others? Number of person not accepting or giving illegal money, gifts and favour of any kind are very limited and hence not powerful and not that much effective which can produce a wave of revolt against rampant corruption in the system. India needs person like Gandhi who shook the castle of British rule and gave India freedom. Jai Prakash Narayan tried to punish the corrupt public representative but failed to stop greedy followers who punctured his movement to serve their vested self interest. India needs person like Netaji Subhash Bose or Sardar Ballabh Bhai Patel. We have Manmohan and microscopically few other simple people full of honesty who follows Lady Sonia to safeguard his post or who prefer remaining a silent spectator of rape of democracy and prevalent corruption in Indian system. As such people have more or less accepted corrupt practices as normal practices. .
What should an employee do when he or she is harassed by his boss or CEO?
Days are gone when labour laws were respected by government. Now-a-days even labour offices, government departments, banks, insurance companies and all private companies are indulged in labour exploitation of labour. There is none to raise voice against it in the name of reformation. In near future we will reincarnation of socialism in some other name. Capitalism cannot last long. Gap between rich and poor is widening and as a result crime graph is going up and up, riches are indulged in profit making and hence price are going up and up. Ministers and officers, babus and even peons are indulged in earning illegal money. There is none to raise a voice against boss or CEO of any company who are forcing employees to work more than twelve hours a day and who have almost made the family life of employees miserable. Even if some voices are raised here and there, such people are isolated and shunted in critical and remote areas or removed from service. As such most of good workers have to lead a life in rejection, dejection, depression, frustration etc.

Woman Reservation Bill hijacks issue of price rise, corruption and terrorism
It is reported in all newspaper and TV channels that India has eventually made history by passing Woman’s reservation Bill in Rajya Sabha on 9th of March 2010 despite unprecedented protest lodged by Lalu Yadav of Rashtriya Janta Dal, Mulayam Singh Yadav Samajwadi Party and Sharad Yadav,Janta Dal (U) and their party members in the Parliament against the content of the bill . UPA government led by Congress Party placed the bill in the Parliament and they got active support from even opposition parties like BJP, CPM, and many other regional parties and hence the bill could be passed by historic majority despite so many controversies involved with the introduction of 33% quota for woman in the Parliament and state assemblies. Throughout the country an image is being created by national parties like Congress party , BJP and CPM as if 33% quota for woman will empower woman of the country and change the fate of the country Almost entire media is celebrating passing of the bill as if quota for woman is the panacea for all diseases India is suffering.
This is worthwhile to mention here that even Constitution makers of India had thought it fit and wise to reserve certain seats for SC and ST for a limited period of ten years.Vetern political leaders and social activists who had played an active role in freedom struggle and got India’s Independence had in mind that people of these caste and tribes were very backward and hence their elected representative if reaches in Parliament and assemblies, they could give focused attention on the issues of SC and ST and people of these group will be brought in mainstream in ten years.
Unfortunately their dream could not come true despite the quota for SC and ST continuing for last 60 years. It is pity that despite their representatives in Top posts in the country and in various states, no improvement in their pathetic position has taken place during last sixty years although crores and crores of rupees is spent every year by all governments in different name for the upliftment of downtrodden class and Dalit class of the society. There is no doubt in it that the so called representative of SC and ST left no stone unturned to make their own life golden in the name of welfare of dalit people .Political messiah of dalit group made all efforts to accumulate maximum wealth for their own families at the cost of backward people of the society for which they were given the benefit of reservation in Parliament and state assemblies.
It is also bitter truth that political parties who claim to be messiah of SC and ST used them as vote bank and enjoyed the fruits of power but failed completely to mitigate the agony of people of these backward caste, shattered the dreams of Constitutional makers who provided quota for SC and ST for ten years
Rather poverty and backwardness increased year after year and V P Singh government in eighties passed an act providing additional quota for Other backward Castes (OBC) to the extent of 27% in addition to 22.5 % existing for SC and ST, Not only this, during last two decades of implementation of OBC quota numerous demands from numerous other caste groups in various states have been raised demanding separate quote for them. Political parties like RJD, SP, BSP, CPM,BSP who from to time shed crocodile tears for Muslims have raised demand for separate quota for Muslim community too. It is not that these parties are well wisher of Muslims but they firmly believe that Muslim votes are casted in block and if they succeed in garnering the support of Muslims, their victory in various elections in numerous constituencies will be guaranteed.
It is proved by sixty years of experience of quota that Indian politicians have used the quota for personal gain but the fate of really backward people have not changed. Majority of people of these caste groups as also of that of general caste are still constrained to lead a life almost like a beggar and they have not tasted the fruits of progress made by India on different fronts. India may become super power in the world or economic growth of the country may not be effected by global recession, but the standard of living of majority of Indians constituting at least 70 % of population is still very poor and their poverty is increasing year after year. I am unable to understand why our political leaders do not take lessons form the past mistakes and become ready to change the system which failed to improve the status of SC, ST, OBC inspite of quota fixed for them in all jobs and education institutes and despite billions of rupees spent for their development during last six decades.
It is known to all that Indian male politicians who dominate the society and who hold all valuable and powerful posts in the country could not reduce poverty, corruption and unemployment in the country but they definitely became rich and growing richer year after year. I do not hesitate to say that Quota for woman as provided in the Woman’s reservation bill is not going to bring about any change neither in the status of woman nor in the society or in the country as long as politicians do not change their mind set .Most of Indian woman who are confined in their homes, do not have administrative or political exposures and are constrained to lead a life of housewife.
Though there has been considerable improvement in education level of woman compared to man during last few decades, women in India by virtue of Indian culture are still next to their husband or male guardians in their families and they get mental satisfaction only after taking concurrence from their husband or male guardians. It is also possible many times that their decisions are overpowered by male guardian. Willingly or unwillingly this Indian culture is the maker of India and has played significant role in making India greater and greater in the world so far as the peace and stability of family life is concerned. In our country cases of divorce is not much as it is in other western Nations. We Indians have given woman a more dignified position in the society and give them more value and more love than foreigner give woman in their country and it is also true that woman extend their wholehearted support to their male willingly. This Indian culture helps in maintaining of social peace to a great extent. It is to be kept in mind that even nature has built woman that they to remain below the man to achieve the goal of maximum love. As such quota for woman is not going to make much difference and at least not as much as claimed loudly by political and media pundits.
I do not like to throw much light on status of woman in other countries but I firmly believe that woman in India are already empowered by dint of Indian culture. Proposed quota for women will not improve their status in any way; rather disturb peace in the society, create awkward scene in state assemblies and Indian Parliament until we nourish them and make them political fit to run the country. I do not mean to say here that there is paucity of able woman in the country but I apprehend that political pundits will utilize the proposed quota to introduce their wife, daughter in state assemblies and Parliament as they have been doing since Independence.
In our country Rabri Devi can be made Chief Minister of state not because she was an able lady but because she was wife of a dethroned corrupt Chief Minister and her husband Lalu Yadav. Even now most of woman representatives in the parliament or in state assemblies are belonging to families of powerful political male leaders.
Of course we have seen excellent woman leaders like Indira Gandhi and we have now leaders like Sushma Swaraj, Renuka Choudhury, Mayawati, Mamta Banerjee and so on. But these woman leaders have spent several years in politics and have acquired dignified status. After introduction of quota political parties will be forced either to give tickets to even incompetent and inexperienced woman candidates or else they will prefer their own wife or daughters in their area of operation. . As a result Parliament and state assemblies will be filled by woman of lesser capacity to participate in debate and discussion. Already we have seen during last few decades sharp fall and continuous fall in hours spent in debate and discussion in Parliament and state assemblies .There is no doubt that presence of incapable representatives, woman or man in such Hall of fame will make the debate a remote possibility, rather it will become a place of saying Ayes and Noes only.
It would have been better to make it mandatory for all political parties to have 40 to 50% as female members in their party and they are forced to increase number of tickets allotted to woman by five to ten percent in every election till they achieve the target of 33% . In this way they have the liberty to select capable woman from places where they are available and they will get time to prepare and nurture other woman candidate in other residual areas. In the days to come, government will have to give reservation for woman in job and educational institutes too. More and more woman IAS and IPS officers, woman armed forces, woman police forces, body guards and commandos will be needed to protect and support woman representatives in achieving the goal envisaged in Woman Quota Bill. Empowerment of woman cannot take place overnight by introduction of magic stick of quota. It is possible only in gradual manner with relentless effort in this direction to change the traditional mindset of Indian woman,
Quota of SC ST or OBC has created more chaos, caste conflict and confusion in the society. More and more claims for quota from different corners will arise including that from Muslims. There is no end to greed of getting easy money and easy power. Quota could not improve the benefited groups in the past and will not help the backward in future until wholehearted and sincere efforts are made to create merit in poor, backward and downtrodden class of our country uniformly and devotedly. With the help of Quota political pundits may prosper but not the real poor people.
It is undeniably true that Indian woman are preferred class and not discriminated class as alleged by advocates of woman quota. If we exclude negligible instances of torture against woman I think woman are already empowered class in Indian society. If protagonists of woman quota are of the view that mere existence of larger number of woman in legislative bodies or placing of woman on top post will cure the ailing system or help in welfare of woman, I think they are mistaken.
India has seen experienced female Prime Minister Indira Gandhi for 17 years and it is true that during her tenure also extraordinary measure were not taken for woman’s welfare and neither woman of India felt elevated in society merely by having a female PM or female President of India. Even now the state of UP is having female Chief Minister called as Mayawati and everyone in UP understands that she takes care of only her statue, her name , her park, her share in bribe , her caste and her image . Can anyone claim that during the tenure of Mayawati as Chief Minister there is any improvement of status of woman or there is any fall in instances of torture against woman?
We have several women’s colleges headed by woman Principal. Have they exhibited any charismatic result, at least better than their male counterpart? There are several police station manned by female candidates only, but lodgment of FIR is a rare phenomenon there too. There are numerous girls school and the level of study there is not invariably better than that male schools. What I mean to precipitate here that it is not a man or woman as a class which is good or bad. It is the quality of the person which is of much importance. There are several instances of woman making history in good work and similarly there are instances of failure of woman as head of any department in the same way as their counterpart man fails.
Lastly it is not the empowerment of SC or ST or OBC or Muslim or Woman which is of value, the real achievement and prosperity lies in the empowerment of the country and of all citizens of the country. Even our most respected Constitution has advised and envisaged in its religious chapters not to discriminate person on the basis of caste, community, region, religion or gender. It is painful that one after other discriminatory bills have been proposed and enacted by so called protectors of Constitution during last 60 years of freedom even sometimes going against the ruling of Supreme Court just to serve their political vested interest.

Interview
Arbitrary promotion and whimsical transfer is the root cause of rampant corruption and culture of flattery to superiors. Culture of flattery to bosses and tendency to become Yesman of Ministers, MPs and MLAs is the root cause of all maladies prevailing in the society. Every employee in our country knows the bitter truth that only those who are yesmen of bosses can get elevation in their career or get cream and comfortable posting.
Most of MLS, MP and Ministers have accumulated properties worth many crores of rupees. Department of vigilance or CBI or Anti corruption cell or Economic offenders cell are silent spectators.
So many IAS and IPS officers have been found indulged in corrupt practices only because they have got the blessings of their mentor Ministers.
So many bank officers and executives have properties worth crores of rupees, which is far more than their total earning in their entire tenure. It is possible only because there is practically none to look into corrupt practices prevailing in the bank at higher level.
When Head of any department or office is corrupt, or when any minister in the government is corrupt it will be foolish to imagine of healthy culture down the line.
It is very difficult to survive with dignity when the boss is corrupt and when boss likes flattery.
Only when boss loves real performance, employees feel delighted in working sincerely.
When real performers are awarded, there will be positive motivation. On the contrary if corrupt is promoted and given good posting, it is but natural that people will be tempted to toe the line of boss even if it is wrong and unethical and against the interest of the organization
As long as we are unable to provide a reasoning based transfer and merit based promotion and as long as the wrong doers are not punished by either head of the department or by the courts we cannot imagine of stopping corrupt practices prevailing in the system and spreading like cancer in the society.
Old proverb survival for the fittest no more holds good. Now a days survival is possible only for the person who is well versed in flattery to bosses, who can earn money through ill methods and share the same with his bosses.
The bitter truth is that there is no foolproof method of providing perfectly merit-based promotion or seniority based promotion in any office. None of the promotion processes can ensure justice to all, justice to the organization and discomfort to none as long as the person responsible for carrying out the promotion process is dishonest and corrupt. When protectors become destructors, damage to society cannot be stopped,
One easy way to stop whimsical transfer and arbitrary promotion is to maintain transparency and abolish the requirement of passing through Interview for existing employees for getting promotion. Interview is such a test where Interviewers can easily spoil the candidates career.
During interview, key role is played by elements like bribe, gift, sources, godfathers, and flattery possessed by employee whose performance is assessed during interview. When Interviewer desires to promote an employee he raises easy questions or do not raise any question and give higher marks and on the contrary he may raises toughest and irrelevant questions before the candidate to reject him in the promotion process.
The interviewer as per his whims and fancies gives marks for interview and unfortunately there is no method to penalize such malicious interviewers or the interview team made of birds of the same feather. There is hardly any place for merit in the mind of Interview panel and this why whimsical promotions take place and a reign of injustice and that of corruption spreads like epidemic and is followed by inefficiency, frustration, depression and what not.
Last but not the least; our courts cannot deliver justice in decades. This eliminates the fear from the minds of interviewer and the aggrieved employee is constrained to bear with the rejection in promotion process. Justice delayed is justice denied. And when there is no hope of justice even from court, aggrieved person in promotion process is left with no alternative other than digesting the poison of injustice.
It is an open secret in our society that victim is afraid of lodging complain in police department against any type of criminal. Not to speak of promotions, management can torture an employee by using his power of transfer and posting an employee in the name of exigencies as per his sweet will.
I therefore request you to take immediate steps to ensure merit based transparent promotion and reasoning based transfers and posting in all offices. Only one remedy to cure disease of corruption is to award honest performers and sideline corrupt performers. Only the bearer knows where the shoe pinches is a right proverb in this regard.
IN BANKING INDUSTRY THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OFFICERS WHO ARE FACING TRANSFER EVEN TWICE OR THRICE A YEAR WHEREAS OFFICERS SITTING IN METROS ARE SITTING IN ONE TOWN SINCE JOINING SAY FOR TWO OR THREE DECADES.
EVEN POLICY OF RURAL POSTING IS MISUSED BY THE MANAGEMENT TO ISOLATE NON FLATTERERS .
EVEN POLICY OF POSTING OUTSIDE STATE AFTER PROMOTION IS MISUSED TO FAVOUR THE PEOPLE OF WEST BENGAL OR THAT OF MAHARASHTRA.
POLICY OF NORTH EAST POSTING IS USED TO ISOLATE NON FLATTERERS. POLICY OF TRANSFER FOR NON PERFORMERS IS ALSO USED BY THE EXECUTIVE TO KEEP NON FLATTERES AWAY.
NOWHERE AND NONE OF POLICIES ARE USED TO PROMOTE THE CULTURE OF PERFORMANCE.
AS SUCH IT IS COMPARATIVELY BENEFICIAL TO ELIMINATE THE ELEMENTS OF DISCRETION OR DISCRIMINATION IN THE INTERNAL PROMOTION PROCESS AND TRANSFER POLICY.THE MORE TRANSPARENT WILL BE THE POLICIES , THE LESS WILL BE QUANTUM OF FLATTERY IN THE MIND OF WORKING OFFICERS.
EXECUTIVES WHO ARE INDULGED IN CORRUPT PRACTICES WHILE RELEASING ORDER OF TRANSFER OF PUTTING THEIR SIGNATURE ON PROMOTION ORDERS MUST BE SUITABLY PUNISHED SO THAT RECURRENCE OF SUCH MALPRACTICE DO NOT TAKE PLACE.
JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED. YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE RESENTMENT, FRUSTRATION AND DEPRESSION PREVAILING IN THE FIELD LEVEL FOR LONG WITHOUT INVITING STRIKE AND LARGE SCALE REVOLT AND RAMPAGE

Most of MLS, MP and Ministers have accumulated properties worth many crores of rupees. Department of vigilance or CBI or Anti corruption cell or Economic offenders cell are silent spectators.
So many IAS and IPS officers have been found indulged in corrupt practices only because they have got the blessings of their mentor Ministers.
So many bank officers and executives have properties worth crores of rupees, which is far more than their total earning in their entire tenure. It is possible only because there is practically none to look into corrupt practices prevailing in the bank at higher level.
When Head of any department or office is corrupt, or when any minister in the government is corrupt it will be foolish to imagine of healthy culture down the line.
It is very difficult to survive with dignity when the boss is corrupt and when boss likes flattery.
Only when boss loves real performance, employees feel delighted in working sincerely.
When real performers are awarded, there will be positive motivation. On the contrary if corrupt is promoted and given good posting, it is but natural that people will be tempted to toe the line of boss even if it is wrong and unethical and against the interest of the organization
As long as we are unable to provide a reasoning based transfer and merit based promotion and as long as the wrong doers are not punished by either head of the department or by the courts we cannot imagine of stopping corrupt practices prevailing in the system and spreading like cancer in the society.
Old proverb survival for the fittest no more holds good. Now a days survival is possible only for the person who is well versed in flattery to bosses, who can earn money through ill methods and share the same with his bosses.
The bitter truth is that there is no foolproof method of providing perfectly merit-based promotion or seniority based promotion in any office. None of the promotion processes can ensure justice to all, justice to the organization and discomfort to none as long as the person responsible for carrying out the promotion process is dishonest and corrupt. When protectors become destructors, damage to society cannot be stopped,
One easy way to stop whimsical transfer and arbitrary promotion is to maintain transparency and abolish the requirement of passing through Interview for existing employees for getting promotion. Interview is such a test where Interviewers can easily spoil the candidates career.
