Demonetization &cashless transaction...

Friends, parliament has been disrupted since 9days. its not first time for opposition parties marauding the parliament for frivolous reasons. Without any shame or sorrow,the entire band wagon of political crooks opposing the clean up task of the govt. why they are supporting the black money and dirty economy? why they prefer to support the inequality and corruption in the society? what could be done by intellectual groups in this hour of crisis? first of all let us talk... let us try to understand the Modi's Policies.  Let us talk about our citizen’s earning capacity.  let us find why our country is still lagging behind other countries in median household incomes, though it is a huge economic power on the globe. let us think one minute why our govt demonetize big value notes, even at the cost of suffering of common man ? let us understand the intricacies of unequal distribution of economy and poverty  and lesser quality of life for which the main culprits are corruptio...

Science News: november-2016.

1. Scientists discover new material for gen-next data storage   devices. Traditional storage devices used polycarbonates (for CDs) and lasers to punch pits into them as data arrived. Each pit was read as a 0 and each ''flat'' as 1 by a photovoltaic cell that received reflected laser from pits. The current generated by the cell was used to provide input for audio and video devices. Rewritable CDs used metallic alloys that changed from amorphous to crystalline states under laser. These CDs and DVDs (and hard drives) used a different physical principle (modulating intermolecular forces that build lattice structure) than the one recently invented that uses electron disruption. With   PEROVSKITE , we have a ferromagnetic - optical system of data transfer that is both compact and speedy. What would we call it? UltraDigital Disc (UD)? 2.  Cheaper anti-stroke drug in the offing . single dose of the existing drugs used to normalise the physical condition of a stroke patien...

Black dirty Money...............

what is bad with black money? unequal distribution of wealth. parallel economy runned by terror groups and crime  syndicates. not only that, the dirty political parties funded by anti-national groups. for ex.  Entire funding of AAP in last two years came in ‘black’ through Hawala via Ford foundation, dubious NGOs like Greenpeace, Saudi petro dollars, Pro Khalistani organisations of Canada etc.   What is black money? Unaccounted money (money not declared as income and hence no tax paid) is black money. Ideally about 30-40% would go to govt as taxed and rest 60-70% is in the hand of user as legitimate white money. This money is printed by Reserve bank. the money on which no tax is paid becomes black.its produced by the people who avoids taxes on their legitimate earnings and by those culprits those used to take bribes and loot the govt budgetary funds.so,illegitimate acts,corruption creates hoards of money that is naturally doesn't come under the net of direct tax...
