Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Unshackle Them

 


===================================================

 

Dear Narendrabhai Modiji :

 

Two days ago , while addressing a public meeting at Bhavanagar , You said :

>   Our greatest enemy / weakness , is our dependence on other countries  

 

While you implied at this “ Enemy within “ , way back in 1939 , I had the fortune ( as a child of 6 years  ), to listen to Sardar Patel address a similar public meeting – in that very same Bhavanagar – when he urged Indians to fight and throw out the British - a “ Foreign Enemy

But nowhere , in his speech , Sardar advocated any violent means to throw out the British. To us children sitting close to dais , he asked that we take out early morning “ Prabhat Feris ( Morning processions ) “ , singing patriotic songs

Yesterday , in your Open Letter to our citizens , you said :

Centre's goal is "Viksit Bharat by 2047," and to achieve it, walking on the path of self-reliance is imperative and added that these reforms strengthen our local manufacturing base

I also urge state governments to encourage industry, manufacturing and improvement of the investment climate 

Dear Modi Saheb :

 

Mere “ Urging “ just won’t take us anywhere !

It is like trying to reach the nearest “ Star “ , riding on a “ space - SHIP

On earth, ships can cross “ Oceans “ to reach “ Countries “ which are 10,000 “ Miles “ away

But that “ FRAME of MIND / TERMs of REFERENCE “ , just does not work in SPACE where ;

>  “ Miles cannot measure Distances “ , nor can

>  “ Ships fly at the speed of Light

 

To traverse “ Inter-galactic Distances “ , we must ride a  Worm Hole


For our “ Journey to Atma-Nirbharta “ , that worm hole is my following earlier email :

>     A NEW ECONOMIC ORDER ? aka " Start Up Act - 2015 "……12 Sept 2015

 

Related Emails sent to you earlier :

 

>   " BACK FACTORY " OF THE WORLD ? …………………………………… 09 Sept 2015

 

>    FROM JOB-SEEKERS TO JOB-CREATORS ? …………………………  15 Sept 2015

  

>    AGENDA   FOR   REFORMS  …………………………………………………… 01 Oct 2015

 

>    BLUE-PRINT FOR START-UP NATION ?................................ 27 Dec 2015


>    GET OUT OF THE WAY !  …………………………………………………………. 01 Dec 2015

 

Extract :

My Suggestion :

 "  Enable them to start their ventures with just ONE / SINGLE / ONLINE

 registration , on web site of Income Tax Department by entering their Aadhar

 Number / Jan Dhan bank a/c Number , in order to get exempted from Corporate

 Income Tax / Personal Income Tax , for 10 years "

  

If such advice sounds somewhat " Out of this World " , here is proof of how US

 government goes about encouraging American Start Ups , by " Getting Out of

 the Way "

 

By reversing decades old Space Law , last week , Barack Obama signed a bill that

 will allow Private US companies and US citizens ,  to mine asteroids / mine

 resources out of them / own the mined materials they find etc  !

 

Would you say, a giant step for " Mankind "  or for  " American Start-Ups " ?

Idea is to :

*   Get rid of unnecessary regulations

*   Make it easier for private American Companies to explore Space-Resources

      commercially

 *   Unleash America's imagination  :  De-limit America's horizons

 

What should be a simple " definition " of a Start Up in India ?


Any person who is not a salaried employee of another person or

   Organization  and wants to become self employed  "


 If my suggestion gets implemented , none of those 12 million Indians joining our

 work-force every year , would want a salaried job !

  

       If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” 

         -        Albert Einstein
