Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow
domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought
and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Political - Market survey
I came across an article which talked about the perspectives of people about voting, in a sense, it tries to build a model so as to say who are the people expected to come to polling booth and vote and who doesn't.
I gave it a little thought and tried to utilise this study as a market survey when I enter politics in the future.
Just wanted to share the same here.
Category 1:
There are few people who thinks that their vote doesnt change the country and also some of them believe that none of the competitor will be in a position to become a satisfied ruler.
Category 2:
The other kind of people thinks that their vote is an absolute necessity for establishing democracy in the country.Their single vote can change the development of country and hence their vote carries so much weightage.
It can be concluded now that category 2 people will come to poll booth and vote somehow and they would vote with full seriousness to the candidate whom do they think as deserved.
The category 1 people, as guessed would not like to waste their time to come to polling booth and vote.
Conclusions:
If we want to impress everybody with the campaign, it may not be possible to win the elections. ALso, if we gonna bribe all of them also, victory may not be possible.
Do the market survey, classify, category 1 and 2.
Impress category 2 with the proper campaign and maximise the votes.
And for category 1, there is a need to provide incentives.
Management marketing techniques in Politics could turn to be an absolute weapon. Let us see the results when I implement it.
Cheers!!

The political Dimension
Today, I was fortunate enough to attend a meeting where all administrative big bosses and the political big boss sit together and review the progress of government intervention.
I came across this fight between political and administrative setup which perceives the development in different phases.
Basic assumptions:
Both players act genuinely.
Both players try to maximise the values in their lines of setup.
Yes, to come back to the discussion.
SSP is a flagship program in AP which give pensions to 70 lakh beneficiaries every month.
Physically challenged people are also given pension through this scheme and only they receive a 1.5 fold extra amount of pensions than other. Hence, the basic rule of greedy and needy always tries to come under physically challenged category and receive extra amount of pension.
1) Because of this, there are wrong inclusions.
2) Because of the first category and limited budget, the deserved people are not able to get pensions.
Now, there is this software and diagnosis by doctors which identify and classify the physically challenged category.
Ofcourse, all the people want to come under category.
THe testing and identification of physically challenged takes place in 4 phases and it takes 4-5 months in total.
But here the question is, whom to be tested First: the new applications or the existing ?
Administrator wishes to test all the people who have identified themselves as physically challenged already and receiving the pensions. The reason is quite clear. Testing on them, will result in eradication of wrongly included pensioners and hence saves the money for Govt. Which means, as an administrator, he can maximise the residual fund and use it for other schemes.
Politicans ,on the other hand thinks that there is absolute need to test the new applicant first. The reason follows the development orientation. Developmental law does say that there can be people who can be wrongly included but any deserved candidate should not be left out. It also affects the political will power of the particular politicians for excluding some of the deserving candidates.
If we follow the administrator path, then what about developmental law ? if we follow the politician path, what about budget?
The question remains unanswered.!

Diff levels of thinking
Like most of us, I question often about the presence of God. And the level of thinking on GOD has varied in years.
Stage 1:
As mamma pappa says, GOD is everywhere. Go to temple. Pray GOd. If you do any wrong, God will take yur eye out and give punishment.
Stage 2:
God, yes, it is there. Pray sometime. But do work.
Stage 3:
I do not say that God is completely absent. But, if we try to find logical solution for our appearance, there is supernatural power behind us which is ruling the life of everyone.
May be, that supernatural power can be called as God.
Stage 4:
It is a human tendancy to find a logical conclusion for everything in the world. Hence, when he tries to find a logical solution to his birth etc, he is left no where.
SO, to use it as a filler, he is forced to assume of supernatural power and that is named as GOD.
If let us assume, that there is no need for a logical solution, then, will there be a necessity to think and react. Remember, Human beings react only when there is a logical solution to any activity.
Stage 5:
Still to be explored....!
