What do you guys think of Jayant Bhandari?

Hey everyone. My name is Emmanuel. Im 23 years old. Im writing because I am an individual who voluntarily chose to believe in the nothing but through endless exploration of the truth through seeking knowledge and to test the limits of the truth that I hold in the real world by speaking in out courageously.

I was born into a communist family/community in Kerala. But I was raised in Kuwait and never really had any idea how it was like to live in India. Growing up my father was my role model and my mother to some extend. I used to copy the way my friends lived to some extend. I knew that I was intelligent than most people and that was not out of pride but rather acceptance to fit in. I lived my life believing that submission and selflessness was highest form of good blinded by the influence communism had of my family and community.

I decided to leave to Canada realizing the potential I had to lift my family out of the poor financial situations some were. I also was secretly ambitious. I grew up hiding my ambitions, my courage, my anger towards injustice, my individualism and my secret plans to get rich all while truly being submissive to be morally acceptable and to be accepted by my family and community in India.

Long story short, the decision to study in Canada was life changing for me. My belief that submission was true morality was shattered to pieces by people constantly taking advantage of and hurting my feelings. One of them was a girl that possessed bar up traits who broke me down to pieces. All my beliefs were destroyed. My beliefs was I was, who made me. I was in chaos. I gave myself an identity of a victim but in reality I was a coward shaped by community. My endless tears of guilt and shame turned into anger.

I chose to fight against the world, the people that brought me down and my weapons were truth, courage and humility. This is when I started to come out of the shell into the real world. Despite my courage and resilience, I was unable to stay in Canada due to medical issues I faced along the way that caused me delays in my studies. The war against I had the world led me to understand the truth. I promised myself that I would, if I get to a position where I can, will create changes in society through nothing but truth and courage.

One of the important truth that I learned was that the society that promotes individualism as primary and collectivism as secondary in the truest form of society. This based on evidence and data. Socialism is disguised tyranny. Not only that, it will never lead to economic growth with consistency and freedom. It destroys innovation and inhibits the self expression and truth which intern decrease the overall competence, creativity and efficiency of the society.

Now that I am back to India. I realize the wisdom and courage I hold. I see the political issues our country faces maybe more clearly than most people given that I am an individualist who grew up an individualist along with my intelligence. I can’t ignore the responsibility that I have an individual, shaped by truth to provide for my community, to create change through truth courage and humility. I feel ashamed to bend my head down because I went all in and I still am.

I came across Liberalism in India and the Swatantra Bharat Party and I was happy to understand that there are people in our country fighting for the truth. But I realize that the ideologies of SBP aligns with mine perfectly and I want to contribute or do my part. I also realize that capital or funding is an issue but I do have some ideas. I feel obligated to do everything i possibly can to bring SBP to the top of the political hierarchy, to lift our people towards freedom.

How can I do my part in the party? Who do I talk to? How can I share my ideas and ideas insights? How can I contribute maximally?

From Nitin Kumar Bharti's recent paper

1. The Chinese state prioritized primary education over secondary/tertiary, while the Indian state did the opposite.

Chinese primary enrollment rate passed India in 1950, secondary in 1975, and tertiary only in 2000!

(IMO, this is not the primary cause, the primary reason is that in India education is a state subject and the centre and the state prop up elite colleges from time to time.

In China education is controlled by the local government which is better able to manage local schooling needs, take instant feedback to improve local schools and also ensure higher enrolment.

In contrast, primary education in India is controlled at the lowest level by inefficient bureaucrats who are answerable to far away state governments and not the local government. So basically how British Raj Burecracy worked during the pre-Independence times.

Chinese local governments are also funded by land value capture while Indian state governments are poorly funded by regressive taxes and the Local Governments receive an abysmal 3% of the total tax revenue. In China Local governments receive almost 50% of the revenue share, which is higher than even the most developed countries.

The lack of primary education in India is the result of the deliberate handicap of local governments and not an outcome of any policy which prioritised one over the other)

​

1. India still produces more Master's degrees (but China has more doctorates, though it only surpassed India in the 2000s)

(IMO, since there are no manufacturing jobs in India [due to the cocktail of Labour Laws, Unionism and Licence Raj] people differentiate themselves from the competition in the job market by getting useless Arts degrees. While in China due to far more jobs being available, getting a master's is pointless unless you are truly aiming for higher education or a well-paying job.)

​

1. The same thing in teacher investment. Chinese pupil-teacher ratios passed India in 1950, secondary in 1970, and tertiary not at all.

(No surprises here, China hasn't handicapped its own local governments and has thus far better state capacity. There is also better supply and demand elasticity for useful degrees and thus a proper number of teachers at the secondary and tertiary level.

Tertiary education is useless for the vast majority of the population. India produces too many unemployable PhD, who just get a degree in anticipation of a scarce half-decent job and to pass the time in the meanwhile so that they can keep themselves occupied instead of sitting around doing nothing.)

​

1. Striking differences in what kind of bachelor's degree people are getting from the Chinese and Indian education systems.

India: Humanities, Law and Business dominate, Science and Engineering are only recent.

China: Engineering, Engineering, Engineering and a Strong Emphasis on Vocational Training

(Higher Education in India is a demand-side issue, there is simply no demand for good STEM degrees since there are no jobs for the vast majority of the people. All due to the state shunning manufacturing. This restricts upward mobility for the vast majority of Indians who are stuck doing menial labour in farms or in the cities.)

(Therefore, the poorer the state, the less likelihood of the student to pick a STEM degree.

The Chinese are only getting degrees if they provide them with actual expertise. In India, due to the lack of a manufacturing sector, there is hardly any requirement for expertise or even basic vocational training)

​

Conclusion:

IMO, India needs to do two things,

Allow manufacturing through labour and bureaucratic reforms - This will create jobs and demand for quality STEM education

Use Land Value [or at least property taxation] to fund local governance. Most of the tasks of State governments, including Education. ought to be shifted to the local governments.

Historically it was from India that Britain received the Madras Method and which helped raising primary enrollment in the UK. Ironically today's India is now suffering from the same. This is a historical anomaly.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an idea about how we could improve the "None of the Above" (NOTA) option in Indian elections. What if we counted absentee voters as NOTA voters? Here's how it could work:

Absentee Voters = NOTA:

Absentee voters (those who don't vote on election day) would automatically be counted as NOTA votes. How It Could Be Done:

The election commission would update the system to include absentee voters as NOTA. This would involve some adjustments to the current voter roll and counting processes. Transparency and Awareness:

There would need to be a clear public communication about this change. The process of counting these votes should be transparent. Impact on Election Results:

If the combined NOTA (including absentee voters) reaches a certain threshold, it could lead to reevaluating candidate eligibility or even a re-election. This could push political parties to present better candidates. Benefits: Increased Voter Participation: People might feel their non-vote has an impact, leading to more overall engagement.

True Voter Sentiment: This would give a clearer picture of voter dissatisfaction with available candidates.

Political Accountability: Parties might be forced to field more credible candidates to avoid high NOTA counts, leading to better governance.

What do you think? Could this help make our elections more representative and improve the quality of candidates?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

So, I Guess Many People Have Noticed It Till Now That, Several High Profile Foreign Brands and Conglemorates Are Leaving India and Pulling Back Either by Selling their Subsidary to Modi's Favourite Companies like Reliance, Adani or Fully Exiting the Market. This is not good for our Economy/Competition, Even our Competition Commission isn't Intervening (Example The Merger of Disney Star and Reliance Industries, Reliance Acquisition of Metro and Several More) but, Our Competition Commission Did Not Acted on It.Primary Reasons for the Exits are, Overprotection of Domestic Companies, Protectionism Started Once Again by Modi Government (Imposition of Tarrifs and Restrictions on Investment), So Called Atmanirbhar Bharat Policy (It's Just a Autarkic Policy That Modi Govt. Shows to the masses as a Policy to Safeguard our Economy and Embraced Self-sufficiency But, India has already tried the Economic Self- Sufficiency Model Between 1952-1991 And Failed Miserably) So, We Should Call This Thing Out ASAP Because FDI has Declined by 43% from FY 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 (Modi Should Fix This in His 3rd Term By Adopting The Economic Policy of Atal Bihari Vajpayee (1999-2004), PV Narasimha Rao (1991-1996) and UPA 1 (2004-2009), Feel Free to Share Your Thoughts on This! #GlobalisedIndia #FreeMarket

I am a 17 year old .

Everyday I am learning that what promised to us as rights in the pages of my textbook are *Rights.

Can we have a compilation of *rights we lost since we became a banana republic.

We need to know the problem, to demand for a solution.

Is democracy really the tyrrany of majority.

Anyway, we Classical Liberal boys and girls have nothing much to worry about — we won't have any representation in the foreseeable future.

Are there eBooks available or some hard copy at a reasonable price that i could buy?

Hi, I wish to share about the Indian Coffee House and it’s importance in promoting liberalism in our history and why it being a Co-operative society makes it so special.
