99% of Indians have the soul of a BEGGAR. Whatever else you do in life, first grow up into a man.

First a couple of conversations with others:

1) Deepak Vyas from Facebook

2) Ribhus Narayna (from a comment on this blog)

Hi Sanjeev,

I have read BFN as well as DoF. I am really greatfulto you that you have really opened by eyes.I always believed that there is something wrong with socialism and wanted to improve the system, but was trying to find solutions as the situations were arising. (All thinking in my mind, trying to find out what is wrong & what I would want India to achieve). But going through your material has giving direction for my path, i.e; the final destination of all the reforms.

Why I am writing this is because after going through your material in BFN, DoF as well as your blog, I was trying to discuss these policies with people around me. I found out that for a vast lot of them , it is very difficult to comprehend.

Yesterday was talking to a person who was talking to a person who comes to my home to odd job. During conversation he asked me about my views on AAP. So we got around discussing AAP, & from what I found out, he was very happy with AAP because of the free water & subsidy with electricity. No amount of me trying to show how development is better than populism would convince him. Even though he agreed to me on my face, but I know that he is not convinced.

What I want to ask you is, whether it would be prudent not to go from one extreme to another regarding Indian policy? Would it not be like having a cold shower immediately after you had a hot bath, for the people of India? You have to admit that socialism & free market is at the opposite end of the spectrum.

So, instead of the Sone Ki Chidiya manifesto, wouldn’t it be better if the people are introduced to the idea of freedom in a gradual manner, when they are ready for it & when they understand its meaning. Presently, you have to admit, people are leaving hand to mouth existence. So no amount of sense you show them on why subsidy is bad in long run, they will refuse to believe it. Thus, I believe that people have to be introduced to reform gradually, for example,by keep the present subsidy but at the same time privatizing government undertaking & introducing vouchers for school system.

Basic thinking is not to highlight socialism but also not to highlight free market, but bring it in gradually.

MY RESPONSE/COMMENT

I appreciate the point Ribhus makes regarding easing India slowly into freedom. As he says, people just can’t understand why it is WRONG to get something free when you are not in a desperate condition, about to die.

I have benefited from freebies from governments – but that’s not my fault. It is stupid if, after government has taken my taxes, that I reject a freebie that it FORCES on me. Thus the Australian “Liberal” government (John Howard’s government) FORCED charity on me by providing me with a top up income because I had children below 12 (or some such thing). The money went straight to my bank account. There are many ways in which both Australian “Liberals” and socialists are trying to convert Australians into beggars.

The more the beggars they create, the easier it becomes for politicians to win votes by STEALING from A and giving to b.

There is absolutely NO justification for any free thing. Public goods are the only thing we expect for “free” (e.g. the defence system), but even that we have paid for through our taxes.

The government can NEVER give without stealing.

So there are two moral issues involved: The more the ‘free’ things we ask, the more the theft government has to undertake. The more the free things we ask, the more our soul becomes that of a beggar. When finally, we have become TOTAL BEGGARS. There is no man left in us.

Vivekanda said: “And here is the test of truth — anything that makes you weak physically, intellectually, and spiritually, reject as poison; there is no life in it, it cannot be true. Truth is strengthening. Truth is purity, truth is all-knowledge; truth must be strengthening, must be enlightening, must be invigorating.”

BEGGING IS WEAKNESS. BEGGING (WHEN YOU CAN STAND ON YOUR OWN FEET) IS A SIGN OF MENTAL IMPOTENCE, OF A NATION DEGRADED SUCH THAT IT CAN NEVER EVEN DEFEND ITSELF, LEAVE ALONE HELP THE REST OF THE WORLD.

Begging is poison. Reject this beggary. Get it out of your mind that you are born a beggar.

The socialists of India – from the time of Nehru – have drilled it into your head that you are a beggar.

Arvind Kejriwal has drilled it into your head that you are born a beggar and that he does you GREAT favours by giving you “free” water (money for which he has STOLEN FROM YOU, first).

Whatever else you do in life, first grow up into a man.

Earn your livelihood. Pay for yourself.

TILL YOU LEARN TO SPIT ON CHARITY YOU WILL REMAIN A SLAVE NATION AND THE IDEA OF LIBERTY WILL SOUND FOREIGN TO YOU.

Vivekananda wrote: “Liberty in thought and action is the only condition of life, growth and well-being: Where it does not exist, the man, the race, and the nation must go down.”

India has been taken down by the socialists. They have soaked out any manliness from your soul, and now only a BEGGAR remains.
