Baba Ramdev and his Demands

From last two weeks Baba Ramdev is in lime light, Some people are die hard fans of baba. Where as some people are against baba, but all are having an opinion about baba. Some are discussing about whether baba is fraud or its his publicity stunt or he is having political aims blah blah blah. And some are like We follow baba whatever he say is god`s words for us. Some have sympathy about baba that "whatever happened at the midnight was very wrong and against the democracy". But No one or very few cares to read Baba`s demands and what is their opinion upon those demands. So here my main focus would be on Baba`s demands , Whether his demands (Not he) are good for country or not.

First of all I will describe demands of baba :-

1.  Tough Lokpal Bill, with a provision for death sentence for the corrupt, especially corrupt officials

2. Immediate return of all black money stashed away in tax havens abroad to the country

3. Declaring all wealth in foreign countries being held illegally by Indians as national property and charging those with such accounts under the sedition laws

4.  Abolishing Rs.1,000 and Rs.500 currency notes

5.  Disabling the operations of any bank which belongs to a country that is a tax haven

6.  Replacing the British-inherited system of governance, administration, taxation, education, law and order with a swadeshi alternative

7.  Reforming the electoral system to ensure that the Prime Minister is directly elected by people

8.  Ensuring that all citizens declare annually their incomes

9.  Bringing income-tax details under the Right to Information Act

10.  Increasing substantially the Minimum Support Price of grains

11.  Making wages of different categories of laborers uniform across the country

12.  Revoking the Land Acquisition Act, as farmers should not be deprived of their land for industry

13.  Promoting Hindi at the expense of English. 

Now I will write my opinion about these demands

I am completely agree with first five demands, sixth demand is good but I can`t understand what are swadeshi Alternatives so I can`t comment.

However , I don`t agree with the seventh demand because I have seen condition of Jaipur Nagar Nigam Which is having mayor of different party and Board (Majority of Parshad ) of different party, its hard to a decision in such conditions.

I agree with 8 to 12 .

I think 13 th is possible if India becomes economic global power otherwise its impractical.

i hope you will read this article with open mind and do write your views in the comments. Hope , We will have a healthy discussion.
