 Economists and politicians of our country have failed thenation repeatedly since Independence. All the policies, laws and  processes that they imposed, bear a genetic stamp of the westerninfluence. They fail to see things from a truly Indian perspective.We present a few articles which challenge the present unquestioned, foundations of our whole economic structure. R.K. Mishra's article gives us an insight into the public sector during Chanakya's time. Gurumurthy asserts that, personal Income-Tax should be taken off and that, Gold has to be viewed more as an investment, rather than a consumable commodity.Vidyasagar breaks the notions of a "US can do no Wrong" inhis article, where he points out how the US is no more a dreamdestination and India doesn't lag behind in any which way. Thisdebate, should lead to the logical step of creating public opinionon looking at our economy, purely from Indian perspective.We are also presenting perspectives on the Iraqi & Koreaninbroglios through the articles by N.S. Rajaram & B. Ramanrespectively.Pragna salutes the great patriots Shivaji and  M.S. Golwalkarji whose birth anniversaries fall this month. Wealso salute Chandra Sekhar Azad, who was martyred in thesame month.We are happy to announce our annual "SBI - PragnaPuraskar-2002" which will be awarded to Sri Vara Prasad  Reddy, M.D., Shanta Biotech Ltd., for his contribution in providing affordable and Indigenous solutions to ailments like Hepatitis B and others, which would have otherwise beenunreachable to most Indians.We request our patrons to send us your views or suggestionson Bharatiya Pragna, to enable us to keep bettering our standards, in form & substance.

General Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan had, inone of his famous speeches said that many Madarssasin Pakistan have turned out to be factories producinghate-filled Zihadi terrorists. Persons coming out fromMadarssas in India are generally no different fromthose in Pakistan. No less a person than Com.Budhadev Bhattacharya, the Chief Minister of Bengal, has alluded to this fact in respect of some of the Madarssas in West Bengal. But the wonder isthat the West Bengal Government is granting aboutRs. 120 crores a year to Madarssas in that state. Thisfigure was less than about a crore before thecommunists came to power.Recently the West Bengal Governmentappointed a high power committee under theChairmanship of Shree A.M. Khusro, the renownedeconomist. The Khusro Committee’s report isamazing. The West Bengal Government is topatronize, fund and foster the Madarssas as thoughit is an Islamic Government! The certificates thatthe Madarssas give should be equated to those thatsecular education giving schools affiliated to the statesecondary board, or CBSE or Universities give. TheMadarssa-educated [in Arabic and Persian and Urdu]are to be eligible for Government service and canalso appear in examinations for Government jobs.Those students are to be prepared for jobs in theembassies of Arab countries and Iran. Governmentis to pump in money to introduce new courses; allthis in the name of modernizing the Madarssaeducation. In substance, the Government of WestBengal is to promote Islamic education to produceIslamists and they should be eligible for appointmentin Government like those with modern education inscience, mathematics, English etc. Is this secularism?In the name of secularism not only religious but evensubjects relating to Hindu culture and civilisation
State Support to Hate Factories
have been dropped from Government schools. Butthe avowedly and loudly proclaiming secularGovernment of West Bengal is using the tax moneysof the state for religious instruction and that too forpeople of one religion only. It is obvious that in Indiasecularism has come to mean anti-Hinduism andpatronage to Islam. No wonder that west Bengal isthe largest refuge and shelter to BangladeshiMoslems who are facilitated to become voters, toperpetuate CPI[Mahatma] rule in the State.There are State Governments which arecontributing crores of Government money forconstruction of Haj Houses, Urdu Ghars, ShaadiKhaanas and also for repairs of mosques while atthe same time not giving a rupee from the tax moneysof the State for Hindus, for their temples and for theirpilgrimages. Indeed, the money that Hindu devoteesoffers to one of the most famous temples in India,are being diverted for the repair of churches andmosques. The properties of Hindu temples put tocommercial use like shops are taxed while those of the church and mosques are not. Is there any wonderthat when these facts are openly brought to the noticeof the people of India, they are beginning tounderstand what secularism as practised inNehruvian socialist times and even now by variousso called secular parties, is. The dishonesty and thedistortion that Indian “secularists” have attributedto the word secularism and their plain disrespect anddenunciation of Hinduism is being understood bymore and more people and this is the reason for theirrevulsion to so called “secular” parities andbeneficiaries of Indian secularism [to thedisadvantage of Hindus] as reflected by the verdictof Gujarat in favour of Shree Narendra Modi andthe BJP despite the cacophony in most of the Englishlanguage press.
