Remember , what George Orville predicted in his
book , " 1984 " ?
No matter where you go , the BIG BROTHER ( the
Establishment ) will be watching you - and will know exactly, what you are
doing / saying , through ubiquitous CCTV cameras
This prediction is gradually being realized in
a few cities of the World - with still ,
a long way to go
Times of India ( 18 Aug 2016 ) carries a news report which says
that Govt may introduce radio
tags , iris scans for prisoners
Acting
advocate general ( Maharashtra ) , Rohit Deo told a division bench of High
Court :
" The State government is examining the
feasibility and legality of fixing
RFID chips in the bodies of prisoners to track them by GPS if they are released
on parole or furlough "
USA Food and Drugs
Administration has approved the use of RFID chips in humans and it is widely practiced in
US prisons
Today's Hindustan Times , carries following
snippet :
" Scientists have developed a way of
communication that may allow brain
implants and contact lenses to talk to smart phones
A contact lens for instance, could monitor
diabetics' blood sugar level and send notifications when the level drops "
What
can you expect next ?
A RFID / GPS enabled
permanent tattoo (
temporary ones are already available ! ) , fixed on hand , at birth for each
child , to replace :
# Aadhar
Number
# PAN Number
# Passport ....etc ?
But of course , such a draconian , privacy-violating ,
reform is unlikely to be initiated by ANY government or passed as an ACT by any
legislature ! There would be a popular revolt and that government will lose
next election !
But what is holding up NDA government from discarding old /
paper-based currency notes of Rs 500 / 1,000 and replace these with new /
plastic-based notes , embedded with RFID micro-sensors ( thinner than human hair ) ?
BENEFITS :
# This
REFORM will permanently eliminate CORRUPTION and BLACK MONEY from our society , because each such
note
( and any pre-determined accumulation ) , will continuously announce its GPS location and get
tracked !
# This
reform does NOT
require passing of any Bill in Parliament
# If
coupled with a Amnesty
Scheme for investment of all existing BLACK MONEY into Infrastructure SPVs (
without any questions being asked or any penal action ) , this
innovation can bring into the MAIN STREAM
ECONOMY , Rs 100
Lakh*Crore , within 6 months ! ( Black Economy is 70 % of our GDP of Rs
140 lakh*crore )
# This will dramatically raise GST collection by an
amount of Rs 18 lakh*crore
( since Rs 100 lakh*crore
of Black Money will get used legally for buying of either
GOODS/ SERVICES,
somewhere in the main stream
economy
, attracting GST @ 18 % rate )
This windfall will get equally shared by
the Centre and the States , and help reduce govt borrowings
For this reason it will become the MOST POPULAR REFORM ever , not only among ordinary citizens but
also among all States , irrespective of
which political party they belong to !
By sending emails to NDA ministers , I have
been advocating this for last two years and have not given up hope !
I am sure , if introduced , India will show to the
entire World Economy , an example of Social Justice / Equity !
