Sri Lanka abolished the right to pensions for parliamentarians.

Sri Lanka has taken a historic decision, setting an example of accountability in politics. Now the pension given to the MPs after retirement has been completely abolished. The 49-year-old law was repealed by parliament. The Minister of Justice made it clear during the debate that the way the public sees the work & conduct of their representatives does not give the impression that they should have the right to a lifetime pension.

This step of the govt is considered to be a big change in the direction of defining politics as service, not convenience. This decision is not just a country's policy but a message to question the political culture. The message is clear: people's money for the benefit of the people. Here the public representatives get a pension & many other facilities, while the common citizen has to work & contribute for decades for a pension. It is a question: Is public representation a service or a privilege?

The US has multiple interests in Greenland

The idea to grab Greenland is not a superficial move but rather a deep geopolitical calculation, political scientist Levent Ersin Orallı explains: 

1. Greenland holds strategic significance, as it contains energy and rare earth elements, including oil, gas, and minerals—grasping these resources would reduce the US's dependence on China and enable it to produce advanced technologies domestically. 

2. The melting of Arctic ice creates another aspect, as Greenland becomes a key point of shorter...trade routes and cost-effective pathways along the Asia-Europe-North America line.

3. The crucial factor is security. Greenland is strategically located to serve as an outpost for radar detection and missile defense systems.

4. Hypothetically, if Trump were to succeed in annexing Greenland to the US, this move could go down in history as an exceptional achievement in American political history.

5. He could potentially create a presidential legacy that expands US territory, secures long-term strategic benefits, and enhances the global competitiveness of the United States.

The Indian Economy is under stress

The Government of India (Ministry of Finance) is planning short-term borrowing of Rs. 3.84 lakh crore through Treasury Bills for the fourth quarter (January-March 2026) of the current financial year (2025-26), to meet urgent financing needs; Weekly auctions will range from ₹29,000 crore to ₹35,000 crore.
India has overtaken Japan to become the world's fourth-largest economy in 2025, and is on course to overtake Germany to become the third-largest economy soon! It is a different matter that a fairly large share of central and state governments (from 80% to 85%) goes into mandatory expenditures such as salaries, allowances and pensions, leading to a lack of funds for development work, especially due to 'free schemes' and subsidies that are putting increasing pressure on states' revenues, increasing financial pressures and leaving less money for development. The continuous fall of the rupee is also a matter of concern!
Happy New Year's Eve!

RSS+BJP role in the country and their agenda

The role of RSS was in India's freedom struggle as much as PM Modi's role is in India's progress in the last 11 years. We can judge the role of RSS in India's freedom struggle by the fact that no RSS leaders were arrested and did not go to jail during 1942-1947. Its role in post-independence India can be judged by not unfurling the national flag till 2002. The RSS-BJP agenda is as follows: Savarkar's agenda was to make India a Hindurashtra. Hedgawar's agenda was to make strong RSS family organizations. Golwarkar's agenda was to establish a centralised government of the strong centre. DD Upadhyay's agenda was to integrate the economic resources of the nation into a few hands. 

भारत के स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में आरएसएस की भूमिका उतनी ही थी जितनी पिछले 11 वर्षों में भारत की प्रगति में पीएम मोदी की भूमिका रही है। हम भारत के स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में आरएसएस की भूमिका का आकलन इस तथ्य से कर सकते हैं कि 1942-1947 के दौरान किसी भी आरएसएस नेता को गिरफ्तार नहीं किया गया और न ही वह जेल गया। आजादी के बाद के भारत में इसकी भूमिका का अंदाजा 2002 तक राष्ट्रीय ध्वज नहीं फहराने से लगाया जा सकता है। आरएसएस-भाजपा का एजेंडा इस प्रकार हैः सावरकर का एजेंडा भारत को हिंदुराष्ट्र बनाना था। हेडगावर का एजेंडा आर. एस. एस. पारिवारिक संगठनों को मजबूत बनाना था। गोलवरकर का एजेंडा मजबूत केंद्र की एक केंद्रीकृत सरकार स्थापित करना था। डी. डी. उपाध्याय का एजेंडा राष्ट्र के आर्थिक संसाधनों को कुछ हाथों में एकीकृत करना था। 

PM Modi's Educational Degrees and Delhi High Court

On May 9, 2016, Shri Arun Jaitley and Shri Amit Shah presented copies of Prime Minister Modi's BA and MA degrees to the media. There were more than two dozen errors revealed in photocopies of those two-degree documents. While educational qualifications are not a requirement for becoming the Prime Minister of India, there is doubt regarding Modi's claims to holding these two degrees. He claimed to have these two degrees in his election nomination papers for his 2014 candidacy in the Varanasi constituency. Misrepresenting personal credentials after taking an oath under the Constitution is a serious offence in a democratic country. 

Additionally, the order of the Delhi High Court to Delhi University not to provide information about PM Modi's degrees is seen as violating citizens' constitutional rights under the Right to Information Act. Delhi University is an autonomous institution under the Act of the Indian Parliament, not under the Delhi High Court. The case of PM Modi's education degrees is not a legal matter, but it is a case filed under the RTI Act that is being violated by Delhi University. 

The Prime Minister does not have impunity under the Constitution while serving in office, yet Prime Minister Modi appears to have sidelined the rule of law. He has a constitutional duty and a responsibility to uphold political morality and democratic values, yet his actions seem to contradict these principles. But the truth about Modi's educational degrees will come out one day.

Will Marxism wither away

Marxism failed because of the changing class nature, structure and process. It could not provide a stable political organization as an alternative to democracy. Capitalism provided a democratic system and built socialism within the framework of democracy and capitalism. Democratic socialism was drowned in Marxism. Marxism cannot flourish without the class structure of society. Democracy is a slow death for Marxism / Communism / Maoism. Chinese communism is still alive because there is no democracy in China. Communism / Marxism can survive in capitalism as in China. Another reason for the failure of Marxism is that it regards capitalism as an enemy forever. Capitalism is the historical and permanent nature, structure and process of an evolutionary society. This is a reality in most societies. Marxists could not understand this reality. Now they have become irrelevant.

बदलती वर्ग प्रकृति, संरचना और प्रक्रिया के कारण मार्क्सवाद विफल हो गया। यह लोकतंत्र के विकल्प के रूप में एक स्थिर राजनीतिक संगठन/संगठन प्रदान नहीं कर सकता था। पूँजीवाद ने एक लोकतांत्रिक प्रणाली प्रदान की और लोकतंत्र और पूँजीवाद के ढांचे के भीतर समाजवाद का निर्माण किया। लोकतांत्रिक समाजवाद मार्क्सवाद में डूब गया। समाज के वर्ग ढांचे के बिना मार्क्सवाद पनप नहीं सकता। लोकतंत्र मार्क्सवाद/साम्यवाद/माओवाद के लिए एक धीमी मृत्यु है। चीनी साम्यवाद अभी भी जीवित है क्योंकि चीन में कोई लोकतंत्र नहीं है। साम्यवाद/मार्क्सवाद चीन की तरह पूँजीवाद में जीवित रह सकता है। मार्क्सवाद की विफलता का एक और कारण यह है कि यह पूँजीवाद को हमेशा के लिए एक दुश्मन के रूप में मानता है। पूँजीवाद एक विकासवादी समाज की ऐतिहासिक और स्थायी प्रकृति, संरचना और प्रक्रिया है। अधिकांश समाजों में यह एक वास्तविकता है। मार्क्सवादी इस वास्तविकता को समझ नहीं सके। अब वे अप्रासंगिक हो गए हैं।
