Why CAA 2019 is India’s UPI to World’s Refugee Crisis: A Governance Hack to World’s Problems

Its taking an ugly turn just short of a pre-cursor of any civil war out here. Winter of yet another year of India, where its also coming winters of Start Up funding. This is the December of 2019.

Temperatures around the world soaring. Not just literally, but also in actuals. Say, on one end, the headcounts of World’s Refugees across the world exceeds in 70 Million on date, while at another corner there in the world’s happiest country Finland today, temperatures today is just around 0 when it should it have been -15 degrees or lower; in this December of 2019. And temperatures soaring uniformly across.

So, before I talk out the point, which is quite elaborate intricate, I want to take you deep into the jungles of context. May I bring you closer to the world around the axis of times. December of 2019 it is, as you all know. Crucial Winters of Hostile temperatures. World’s Debts factor in for 2.5 times the Global GDP with growth rates of countries falling down. Every unit square kilometer of landmass tending to become some degree of Venezeula. Status Quo way of lifestyle of humans has collapsed, uniformly across.

As you touchdown to present on the Earth, you find, Sydney is witnessing summers of unheard kinds, birds falling to death from trees in day light. Also reported of forest fire, as reports came last. You see that Gurgaon of India which has become now Gurugram, was in the movie Nayak Mode (of Bollywood) on Dec 19. You go on to see a not so well to do VC of California mocking around why he doesn’t invest in the “Country of Customers Less than a Cuddle Away”.

From the pains of the offline real world, you come to the virtual world to soothe yourself. You go on to see an English writer from not so Great Britain, propagating how Dominion to the crown which has a club of countries to its name (The Commonwealth), which itself doesn’t know of decorums of Club of Countries, the crown which went on splitting borders over rulers and set squares, even using protectors and ropes on occasions, which out of the habit of drawing borders drew the final one for itself (which you know as #BREXIT), you find this author narrating how Dominion to this Crown accelerated the humans to prosperity in just 2000 years. And similarly, as you graze to humans, you find each of them on a roll of their own.

This author I’m talking about, perhaps also goes on to add that it happened due to awakening of Religion, with a buzz that it was Christainity that you got to be aware that you invented zero. You did apply 0 but you were not aware that it was 0, with christainity you named it zero, you got aware, and you invented, and you prospered to Mangalyaans in just 2000 years. How that journey happened, a journey of that. And similarly on their own paths humans on a roll of their own, which comes down cumulatively in form of soaring temperatures such that the Spheroid Earth deflates to attain a shape of Rugby ball with each rotation.

Temperatures Soaring, tragedies on standby, sailing the world of Earth over iceberg deep freezing waters which oppose motion. Not to miss the Debts factoring 2.5x the GDP. Stress on energy is be non-polluting, democracies requiring to be inclusive, even as Status Quos of the world is going in the direction opposite to the direction of safety it ought to be. The world is severely heated. Chaos and escalations equal in loudness all around.

In this sequence of heat, surprisingly with a lot of amazement, which is also not a surprise as it looks, for the property of being continuous in nature since the backdrop Y2K of 2000, rolled out as mindful succession planning in the wake of Kargil 99, guided under the grace of Late JFR Jacob and Dewang Mehta, in this subcontinent where continents merge, from UID to Flipkarts to Paytms to UPI, in this peninsula south to Himalayas: India has been delivering a series of tacky hacks in a laps of quick turns.

In less than three decades since the dampening of cold wars, India has been Engineering Global Answers to Global Problems. Like UPI and UID as they stand tall to this testimony, here they’ve delivered a Policy Hack just disruptive towards solving the World’s Refugee Crisis. Of a Mathematical Policy, a smart trigger that can potently restore human habitation to its origins.

Citizen Ammendment Act in technicals, a Citizen Rehabiliation Program of times of World’s Refugee Crisis, is a Flagship Inclusion Program for Citizens in India from Government of India. Coming back off rides of massive aggressive programs on inclusion. Most notably this Financial Inclusion Movement called Jan Dhan Yojana, as Indians have just delivered Payment Banks for which the dumb world used to use Credit Cards about the function of Machine Liquid Currency. So a Giant Leap prepared over continuous series of small giant leaps, in the fields of Governance, Policies and Human reconciliations at Human levels, a program of Citizen Inclusion. That’s the CAA. (There is chaos about it we all know for which we’re meeting to quell)

In a world which has every 100th Human as refugee, headcounts in excess of 70 Millions, world over, where sovereign nations sell citizenships because they are cash strapped, they’ve programs like Citizenship Against investment, and residencies against cash, from Canada in the far west to the New Zealand in the far east, almost 68 nations when sell citizenships for sale, in that world which repels the poor refugees and invites the rich for Mountains of Cash, in that world of exclusion, it an inclusion and reconciliation programs of citizens who find themselves in lands of no man. Like UID and UPI have already shown their magic. The world queuing up doors to India to import mechanisms and models of governance. (Karnataka of India is a Champion of last Mile Deliveries of Governance may I also add on). Is India answering to Global Problems super-fluid. And no wonder why is the chaos.

Its no surprising for what the Western World had Credit Card, the Indians invented a Payment Bank for the substitution. And you’d be most surprised when I tell you why they’re coming up so much at rapid pace in successions, what the core of that root- that damned ‘Corruption’ that a generation spent complaining in theory and living it up in practice. Manufacturing Solutions out of wiring machines where in the past lived humans.

India in the first time in Human History is having footages of riots recorded? They’re converting these cues into actions and laws. And, that tells you what magic machine interventions in human life can do. Of which India has become unparalleled champions over 30 years of sustained gymming. From the very lifestyle of Satyamev Jayate Conditions Apply, solutions of establishment of Satyamev Jayate, this momentous times are these.

In this other world of context, out of context, may I tell you, If China is about hardwares, India is about process excellence. India’s agility has been of listening. And reviewing data. Because they trust none, flexibility to change minds is higher along with the energy to execute.

In this age when Data is the Oil, when oil is not fuel, oil not the lubricant, oil not the trigger, oil not the matrix, when humans are humans no more, in the days when humans are marketplaces, India is the Delta.

I wonder if you could find how surprising is it to be not of surprise element that it is a natural successor to sensibly orchestrated pre-cursor, this CAA is a natural progression of a planned Succession Planning of Human Stack. As a Design Thinker, I won’t be able to pen the romance. (I guess only a Yuvraj Singh whack matches the experience). Its such an elegance of determination, to top out of process.

If Sachin Tendulkar was the man who made Indians need Electricity, here I find a Modi making the Indians need the need of reasoning questions. I can’t help seeping in ecstasy. And what a romance, that a stubborn partner helping cover the effort to keep the flag on the helmet fluttering high. May I also tell you, at this sight Ambedkar would have been partying with Mascrenhas (Tendulkar’s Manager), and Dewang Mehta with with Subhas Bose, such the romance.

So let me unfold you the beauty. Of Problem Statements and Solutions.The art of painting Policies. Let’s begin the problem statement.

World’s Refugee Counts exceeds 70 Mns. (I)
You can’t exclude them and they’re not included. They are as much a security risk as much as they themselves face insecurities. In Micro-economic cases, they deflate currency value and lesser exchange rates.

Of Whole World’s citizen charters, exists no Citizenry list (II)
You don’t know your customers, you don’t know your citizens. For governance, for corporate governance, for resolving escalations, for reconciling the goods and bads, you need a last mile delivery plank.

You’ve a Terribly Stacked Stone Age Economy. Debts 2.5 X GDP (III)
Humans invented zero, learnt counting but could never learn computing. They never knew Accounting. In the meantime came Brits, who needed a family to be frozen in a reality show box, wreaked havoc, began the culture of Aboriginals & Superiors world over. They never could understand what device actually the Money was. What was a dispute resolving device they made into a discriminating and disrupting device of sabotage inducing character. Computers did come to rescue that, but money is so unequally distributed that it no longer goes to expand, the public GDPs go on to reduce while one 1% of the world keeps frozen 58% of the Global wealth to personal whims and abilities to deal with reasons.

If you combine all the three, I’ll tell you it will sum down into reinventing the currency. And It would imperative to all governing agencies, in all micros and macros get into an exercise of Knowing Your Citizens. And more than policy perspective, as an essential security measure. You live in a world where your impressions, facial scans are gateways to your money. If you don’t get identified, you’ll have none to hear to your escalations. And then beyond that, the proposition of advancement of having a real world robust last mile delivery. A step further of as much of advancement as advantages. That the security dimension enforces, it makes it essential which is a different thing.

So How do you solve that? How do you stack it up ?

  1. Do you induce the sources that produce refugees in their to take their people back? (To this add to this India has a neighbour which doesn’t only push human livestock like app notifications, but it also don’t own their dead?).
  2. Do you start framing Architectural Structures to attain superior inter-institutional flexibilities ? (More funnily, also add that in 70 years, India could also not make accept its neighbour of its series of sins for the obstacle of lack of data and evidences)
  3. Do you start stacking supply chains of Last Mile Delivery ? .

Where do you end to connect these dots? Do you think you’ll need a Roll number with Government as your citizen id as the first requirement ?

That is it- the primer of a Inter-Institutional framework- The NRC dashboard. And there CAA, the engineering principle to pave way for a Identifying Serial number like Roll Numbers for the purpose of Justice Harvest in Last Mile.

CAA 1.0 (on for a strategical bias of religion-which in turn is a consequence of the fallout of the fact that the last border drawn in the peninsula south west of himalayas was drawn on basis of religion) helps you to reset the roll arrangement of people stack to its original. Lets you create a free body diagram of the people stack at a given geography. An identifier principle.

Post the CAA, you might and will need several successive round of inclusions which will be called CAA 2.0, CAA 2.7, CAA 4.0, CAA Jelly Bean and so on. Wherein will there be Guiding Principle that GDP = Productivity Per Capita multiplied by summation of CAA headcounts.

Begin addressing the problems of Human Reconciliations at Human Levels. That with efficiency of Last Mile Supplied. Think rehabiliating humans in on the ball of soil amidst springing jungles with a goal of restoring Natural Purity. You’ll everytime end up solving RTO of Couriers (meaning Returns to Origins), you’ll every time end up policies like CAA.

Like you begin selection through rejection, this is a march of inclusion in the world of barriered exclusion which also pivots on cash.

कौन था हीरो आजादी का

तुम मुझे खून दो,
मैं तुम्हे आजादी दूंगा,
कह कर निकला एक व्यक्ति ने ।

यह की खून चाहिए किसका
ज्यादा कुछ नहीं कहा उसने,
आवाज़ गहरी थी, छु गई सबके दिल ने।

बच्चे पूछ ही रहे थे बापू से, 
खून मांगा है, बताया नहीं किसका ?
एक गाल पर जो कोई मारे थप्पड़  
परोस दो गाल भी दूसरा, समय था उसका
कब मिलेगी आजादी,पता नहीं था इसका। 

किसी को पता नहीं था, 
किधर चला गया था वो जादूगर
जब अचानक से बज उठा एक स्पीकर
फ़्री इंडिया रेडियो चलता था जिधर।

इससे पहले कि समझ पाते
कि वो नहीं था कोई रेडियो, 
वो था तब का यूट्यूब, 
खून से भागता भी भूत
तुम्हें निकालना अंग्रेजी खून,
आया ऐसा संदेश उधर से उसका।

गिरे एक दिन गए बम ऐसे, 
जवाब नहीं था जिसका,
कौन जीता कौन हारा, 
औकात नहीं थी करें जिक्र इसका
लगे पूछने लोग यह बात 
कौन हुआ बाप इस लड़ाई का। 

बात छिड़ी नई जिसकी हुई न बात कभी,
बाटेंगे कैसे जीती थी जो जमीन नई,
क्या होगा लड़ाई के लूट के माल का,
क्या वैसे जैसे किया था हाल अफ्रीका का
या वैसे जैसे बढ़े थे ऑस्ट्रेलिया अमरीका ।

होगी बात यही, जब होगी ख़तम लड़ाई
लगा रखा था उसने अनुमान इस बात का
कहेंगे नहीं था भारत कभी एक देश समूचा
था पहले से उसे ज्ञान इस बात का ।

इंडिया इज इंदिरा, इंदिरा इज इंडिया
वर्क फॉर टाटाज़, इन्वेस्ट इन अंबानीज़
इससे आगे नहीं होगा लिमिट इस देश का
वर्क फॉर इंडिया, इन्वेस्ट इन इंडियंस
नहीं बोल पाएगा कोई बच्चा इस देश का
था मालूम उसे उसी समय इस बात का ।

और रचा उसने खेल डिजाइन थिंकिग का
टू क्वालीफाई फॉर अ सोवरेन नेशन,
यू नीड अ सावरेन आर्मी, कहा उसने
कहा अंग्रेजी में इंडियन नेशनल आर्मी
आज़ाद हिन्द फौज, दी आवाज़ हिंदी में ।
डिजाइन इज नॉट द वे इट लूक्स,
डिजाइन इज द वे इट वर्क्स,बताया उसने।

1944 में मांगा 
खून के बदले आजादी उसने
1945 में बनाया उसे निर्णायक
और देखो कितना जलील है भारत 
करते हैं बहस, कौन था हीरो आजादी का।

Nationalism: Design and Excuses

Nationalism. Every time a human hears this word, certain sense of reverence spirals down every spine. A fundamental module of identity that it is. However, is quite a bit of subjective entity. 

What bird is it ? 
If you get to define, distill all the ways of world, the way animals or plants or all living beings operate, you’ll conclude its about the belonging to where you serve your life. Of relevance of what you have for home. Bearing the same significance as your residency, permanent address or origins or wherever in which proportions you spend life. What begins with adherence of laws, to conditions of living extrapolates to the privileges and ease of life that you get back from the affiliation. The root source of the affiliation that you get and carry for your own existence. That makes it either instantaneous affiliation of territorial existence or the passport that you carry. All for a simple reason, for you’re on Earth. Like in Rome, you’re required to as Romans do, on Earth, you ought to do as Humans do as long as you’re human. Even for animals, the span for life and the end use of their dead bodies depend a lot on the Nationalism of nation they’re born into. And that is it, the loyalty and the degree of belonging you bear to the political geographical territory. 

Why at all does it element exist? Nature didn’t differentiate then why the humans.
Well, is that so ? Why at all then do we have different races, different body structure, differently abled ranging from physical to mental faculties to skin color ? Is that natural differentiation ? Or is that adaptation to the conditions around ? And then you find, its a mix of all. That its a massive Earth, soil, sunshine, water, air, temperature, humidity, climate, all are different and every part of earth requires customised care. Whether the care to Earth or from the Earth, both are subject of natural habitat. And that is how inherit a common culture, a common territory, with a common goal to maintain its sanctity. 

As a living entity you won’t have any second qualms that you’ve just one role on Earth. To look after the security of Earth as long as you serve your life. There’s no other purpose of life, neither can you do beyond. Because you’ll die one day, all you’ve the option left is to serve the biological span. And the best way of doing that is keeping up the sanctity that you inherited. And also, anything not matching up the best is back tracking. Not doing the best you can is always degrading. So harming the integrity of Earth must be a bad way of life. The concept of Nation is an enabler to this function. It demarcates the zone of liabilities. And thus the Nationalism. A reminder of the duty of care of the territory you extract life out of. 

Is it a Necessity ? Or a Forced Commodity ?
And the answer lies, that it’s a subject of force just as much as is the safety and security of life an imperation. Which also covers the aspect that how much do you know about your territory. The scientific structure of it. The material equilibrium, the composition structure, the relation with Earth. Function of the will and dedication to future. And yes necessary to have a constant maintenance affair. This is why we’ve governments. And the sense of adherence to it the Nationalism. All in all, a function of will of responsibility to future. Or a better way to look at it would be, that it is not a necessity only in a condition that you’re selfish. And you can’t be selfish because you never get your life on your own. You only have a choice of your own conduct, and when you get selfish, you also get isolated. Which makes a facet that the sense of Nationalism is the safest and best way to practice life. Very mandatory, as long as you want it safe and happy. 

Simply because its a Nation, and human processes and transactions are not adiabatic, and only a sustained life in a territory can know the territory, Nationalism is a life maintaining practice. An elementary need to maintain life. 

Now of the practice of it. The Hues and Cries regarding the same. 

Standing in respect for a national Flag. And like all physical laws, it goes the same way. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, in the opposite direction of the binaries involved. As you love your Flag, it loves you back as much. As you are in collective, you get back in collective.

Say, Singaporeans commit to their flag the max, 24×7, despite just about a port, only a marine logistics touch point, they have the world ‘s most powerful passport.

India has this rank of 78. Mediocre. Because Indians say, “Stand for yourself first, then comes the nation”. They’re practical. And then they’re a diverse mix. Some say we stand for it when everyone else is watching, we do not disrespect, some say that idea is imposed. Nationalism is not a thing of public display, we all love it and its not required to be proven in open. And then there are other lots as well. Like a particular faction says, we now only to one, our God. We can not bow to anything else. In all the excuses of not being treated with contempt about the lack of priority to the flag.

Indians, as the population that they’re. They aspire for Mediocrity. And hunt for superiority in that inferiority. And as a natural result, they make for a country of customers less than a cuddle away wag at 100th in Ease of Doing Business for the love of Ease of Doing Crimes. And the human capital index amongst the lowest. Life the hardest, the happiness the lowest. 

And that tells you the law of flag. And the law of nationalism. And why the need of Nationalism. To have the god to stand by you by the care and awareness of your god on earth, your flag.

Is Dhoni the new Nayan Mongia?

The world cup is days away. Its in England. And the men in blue are far from settled. Batting line up far from systemically crystallized. Middle order so arranged that by fall of wicket number 5, far away from the grounds, even on paper, it gets difficult to find traces of formal batting. And by fall of two, specially if it includes Virat Kohli, it pretty much projects memories of the 90s. Old cricket fans often get reminiscence of Ajay Jadeja or Robin Singh or the combo of Yuvraj and Dravid, leaving behind a lack of sense of assurance when things are not going well.

The thrill of scripting come backs has been evidently off the radar for quite a long time.

Except for the top three- which is very fixed- the whole set of batting gives a glimpse of unstable variable tail with little certainty. And then the main stem of finishing profile, of that of holding the innings, of manoeuvering small anchoring of breezy pace, like those duties looked after by Suresh Raina, also finishing role like those of Dhoni’s himself, those romantic virtues of cricket, specially out of one dayers, that’s missing. And add to this agony of a batting culture country in a run hungry nation. Cricket is not all the same anymore.

It used to be  a game of brains and intellect. Of passions and purity. And character.

No other game ever has been subject to test of Character and Endurance Certificate as Cricket. Not to miss 8 Hours of machine loaded single advertising realty, which is like single long magnet of customers. No game ever produced as much commerce. And may I tell you another greatness of this game. They say the game’s greatest – Sachin Tendulkar- he was God. He is indeed. Not the God of cricket but the God who made Indians need Electricity . That is Cricket. It has been a game which has also produced real authentic Gods.

In the world, if you needed a model code of Conduct and Integrity and Life and Lifestyle, or should you be seeking answer to the question as to how humans should live, should you quest for an ideal replica for humanity in practice, or say, the way 1 kg is the mass of platinum-iridium alloy kept in SI Units’ museum in Paris, what would be the same for one unit of Humanity, let me break this piece of beauty. The day you’ll define the SI unit of Humanity in Practice, in the end the last standard you’ll conclude to like to keep an alloy of Kumble-Dravid. And like Coulomb (SI unit of Electric Charge), the SI Unit of Human Conduct will be Kumble (after Anil Kumble). This came from Cricket. That because of the virtue of Cricket. Thanks to intricacies of the game.

Additionally, its also a better lifestyle game than Golf, and way more of handling of passion than Basketball. (On a personal note, I feel, cricket never gots its due appreciation, because it was invented by Brits, who have historically been opposite of Sport conduct). But if there was an evaluation for completeness of a sport, measuring for social or fitness or  awareness or strategy or management or just any human attribute at subject of test, this game would come right at the top. Even by the count of ATPs used in a game, if that were an indicator, even then, it must be cricket. Its a beautiful game indeed.

And what has been Jeff Bezos to Retail, or Steve Jobs to computing, in very tangible  likelihoods, you’re going to have an Anil Kumble to Machine Intelligence and Education. What was Steve Jobs to Personal Computing, An Anil Kumble to Education, I can bet my life over such a prediction. The phenomenon because of cricket. And also the conviction in this belief – because of Cricket. That is cricket.

A game of Science and human conduct. And of lots of brains. An intense game which inspires engineering. And a game which has had huge impact on affairs of the world. Its a very beautiful game.

I wonder why I’m so overselling this game. Perhaps may be, because I also see that if everybody played cricket, nobody ever would have had Skin-cancer. Humans would have come to know about holes in ozone the very day they happened. The Humans would also have never had invented Acid Rains. Neither would have ever been Soil Erosion if they played cricket, if everybody played cricket, if it was a cult.  Genuinely beautiful. As beautiful as impactful.

Which is no more as beautiful. As it used to be.

But India happens to be one of the best in the trade. In 170 odd days from now on is to happen its Men’s World Cup, which is reasonably fierce.  And like usual, known for handicapped management, Indians, have screwed it again. By poor management. By poor succession planning. A pristine case of how Indians lose. Signature display of  Indians’ affinity to Mediocrity. Indians are a laid-back bunch of humans who aspire of mediocrity and hunt for superiority in that inferiority of mediocrity. How do they pull off this phenomenon so widely, this case is live demonstration of that. Its as much a subject of cricketing nuances as much of trade and life in practice.

Let me take you to this by design.

That, India and Indians are averse to transparent meritocracy is no new secret. Their father was Gandhi, that alone determined the DNA from the onset. Almost invariably, in every field and every institution, top stakeholders are always rigged, people functions which is supposed to maintain human succession planning in institutions and organisations, Indians have universal reservations of unfair practices. Handicapped of  transparency, as elsewhere, so in cricket, the lead of National Selecting panel (MSK Prasad) himself has neither performed much at the international level, nor has had any other history of team building or leading credentials. In short he has never been a public father who has nurtured National Kids or Institutional Kids  for that matter. He’s there simply because he’s there. Not many other supporting the reasons why at all should he be there. Not even moral reasons, forget the technical. But he’s still there.

Same with the hierarchy upwards and on wards. Until the ownership of BCCI. Whether BCCI is about India, or is it a private body of cricketing fans ? Or is it an sporting asset belonging to a Sovereign Nation? What is cricket about or what is BCCI about? Who owns the BCCI ?  Whom does BCCI report to ? And How does it integrate to Sovereign Identity to Republic of India? Nobody knows. Administration has had a democractic orientation, while has the reporting  been historically swinging between Political heavy weights and Political Heavy weights. So it never became an institution. So never did it have consistency. So the game!

I think the only good thing that happened on a cricket field, was Sachin Tendulkar affixing the tricolor on his helmet on his own. I think the idea was pitched by Devang Mehta (there was one Y2K Hero of the world who restructured India in the 90s who also died mysteriously in 2001) .

Luckily, for Indians, that became the day the Indians started needing the need of electricity. And Tendulkar kept the promise quite handsomely until the December of 2011. Just in a span of decade, Tamilians became Indians, Bengalis became Indians, Ghatis became Indians, Tribals became Indians, North East became Indians, Telugu became Indian, Bihari became Indian, Punjabi became Indian. So much so that even Muslims became Indians, albeit on some days-  who on most of the rest of live like Muslims.  (We mean – if you ask a Man what is he?  On 90% of occasions, he’d answer he’s a human.  Ask the same to a Muslim, what is he ? In most of the cases the answer will be He’s a Muslim. I’ve met only five who said he’s a human. One went to IIT Kanpur & one led DRDO of them) This might be phenomenon, perhaps because he needs to pray 5 times a day, but even these kind of Muslims, the least educated of human tribes as a mathematical number, even these became Indians. Universal Identity, Universal Account Number, Universal GPS, Universal Bitcoin, Universal Facebook, Universal Google, Universal Amazon, Universal Bharat Pay, Universal Solar, they all became a phenomenon. So much so that, even Hindustan Lever had to drop Hindustan to come properly as Unilever. This would never have been a possibility in India.

Let me show Indians have lived. How they talk and how they live.

India is Indira, Indira is India. Somebody said.

India is the peninsula south to Himalayas, nobody said. India is the Sub-continent south to Himalayas, India is the subcontinent where continents merged, India is the sub-continent reporting to Himalayas where continents merge, nobody said.

Work for Tatas, Invest with Ambanis. Somebody said.

Work for India, Invest in Indians, Invest in future Dhirubhais, Let the world invest the future into India. Nobody said.

Today, India has a brand as Incredible India. India is today one of the five largest defense budgets, and back to the position of lighthouse to World’s maritime, 75% of World’s freight logistics happens under the watch of you know whom! You have Chennai holding loose ends between Dubai and Bangkok.

So much so for the universal identification for a piece of cloth- a logo- the tricolor. The game spiralled into a glue to stick staggered mix of humans, but never could build an institution. The asset became a commodity. And hence now the commodity subject to what commodities undergo- Volatility and Crest and Troughs. It never could become an institution.

And a what a funny thing. The case went to Supreme Courts as well. But as the fact is that they’re Indians. Handicapped of building institutions, they couldn’t even articulate constitutional ownership nor a ready reckoner for Institutional Building. So its disintegrating.

And in a span of 170 days is the World Cup. Where Indians have designed the way how to lose out a all equipped resource pool, only for the lack of institution building propensities, for the lack of the skills of governance.  And once again no lessons learned even from the most recent churn of the 90s.

A team game of 11 players, of 11 different roles, India has only 6 properly filled roles. For the rest five, a subject to disorder, leading to an appearance that a 11 player team stands for only three. Only three full time players, 8 part time, clueless and mission less.

After Tendulkar, after Ganguly, after Dravid, after Yuvraj, after Dhoni himself, the slots should have been succeeded by institutionalized development. And what a luck that they always had Sehwags, Gambhirs, Rainas, Rahanes, Uthappas, Badanis to fill in to rotate capibilities. Today, Kohli alone looks a one handed substitute of Dravid-Yuvraj, a Tendulkar at the top in Rohit Sharma, and no Raina, no Dhoni (despite having Dhoni himself), no Ganguly, no Sehwag, and many more the nos.

And in this cobweb of illiterate governance, in the centre is Dhoni himself, who’s also himself a very  very skillful thinker of the game. After Ajay Jadeja, a Yuvraj, Ganguly had to rear, and he reared, but after Yuvraj whom ? Dhoni did nothing. Kohli for filling in for Tendulkar, then what about Yuvraj and Dravid? What about the computer engineer of the team, what about Kumbles and Srinaths who’d steer the game with the pace of technical world to keep it contemporary? And what about Gangulys who’d stand for protecting integrity in a vulnerable world ? Nobody ever had answers.

The after effects as you get to see. You’ve Sreesanths and Pandyas and Vijay (in affair with colleague’s wife) and Rahuls coming out in quick succession.

Its painful to see this game in such deep misery. And there’s no way its to return back to its interim golden glory, which in itself was also very fluctuating. When it was intellectually a beauty, it never aced the summit of pinnacle, and when it did, until then the soul was lost already. Thanks to shoddy management all round the corners. An asset of identity symbol ransacked to become a commodity.

And to historical imbalance, roles not matured, absence of succession planning, Dhoni himself has relegated himself as Nayan Mongia of the past. Very Useful, Very Indispensable, but not of use for certain success. Beyond his own best, and too beyond to glue all. By the fag end of 2015, he should have been in the shoes of Tendulkar in terms of dressing room presence. Neither a Kumble shunted of for being visionary and excellent at the same time.

Of the Cricket World Cup, in most likelihoods, it should be England winning the 2019 Edition. United Kingdom is in shambles, slotted to grow less than 1.5% over the next decade, pulverized with uncertainties of BREXIT, they’ve nothing to bind the nation, nothing to stick to rally around for a common identity, hence no common goal, all mired into terror as well, they’d desperately need one. And the coincidence that all other cricketing teams of the world have in general gone on decline to match the maximum capacities of England, I don’t think there’s better evidence of the game of Cricket being fixed. If a commodity called “Geo-politics” exists, this must be one of them, I feel. We can connect the dots.

But the pain remains. The Game of Cricket is not all the romance and intellect it used to be. And not at all the scientific temper that it stands for. And Dhoni the new Nayan Mongia. Useful but not good enough.

Animals vs Humans: Start Up Kumar begins the differentiation

Earlier, the humans and animals had a large gap between them. The animals were animals and the humans were humans. The animals had animalism while Humans had humanity. Humans hated dictatorship. Animals fell into discipline to let leaders lead. Animalism spread and spread the Humanity.

Animals needed no religion. Humans needed to trade. And hence an additional requirement to grade.

They marketed purpose of life, ways of life, and so on, got varieties in discrimination orders. The animals on the contrary knew- the purpose of life is to serve the defined biological life span and protect the earth as long as they served life. Needed no religion. Just compassion and selflessness.

So much that they even became dogs and asses. They didn’t mind. They became anything. Cows, buffalloes, vultures and pigs, cocks and lambs, pussies, mares, or just anything, very happily. Joining humans wherever they could. Elephants took to engineering. Even wars and emergencies. Lions learned the circus. Parrots took to talking, pigeons to spying, camels to smuggling, horses to eloping. So much, that even crocodiles took just to copulate mindlessly the day they figured Queen of Elzi needed a crocodile leather bag to orgasm. One fine day, even the fishes joined. They said if the end of life has only two options- small fish being eaten by big fish, or the humans eating fishes- its better to be eaten by humans.

They all friended the humans.

Somebody told the humans they’re humans. That they’re at the top of the ladder, that they had humanity which is different than animalism. And then began a new journey.

A lot happened. Thousands of years just flew by, like they were seconds. And we came to the date until today.

Today, to survive on Earth only five things are needed. Air, Water, Sand, Honesty and Sanity. The first three for shelter, the last two for intra-species, inter-community coordinations. Honesty drives the trust. Sanity Drives the drive thereafter- the motivation to serve life. Today, the first four lost beyond repairs and stocks of the fifth lies half a decade. The spheroid Earth deflates to become a rugby ball with each rotation.

The Flummoxing Case of Gandhi

Subhas Bose has died well. He was undoubtedly a patriot, though misguided. 
-Buddha Gandhi
 
That settled the character certificate of Subhash Chandra Bose- Misguided. And why won’t he be? Why won’t Subhash be misguided ?
 
On one end was a monkey-charmer Gandhi who hired an army for Brits and sent in troops without any accountability. On the other was the Engineer Subhash who raised an army out of the same Prisoners of War that Gandhi had sent without any responsibility.
 
Picking up deserted soldiers and accumulating the sons of the soil who were rendered refugee and orphaned for no fault of their own- was what Subhash doing. Bringing them back with pride and honour for the cause they were put in the ovens of world war thay India had no part in- was where Subhash began- or say cleansing the muck and dung of Gandhi was what Subhash began with. No wonder, why Subhash was misguided!
 
And boy, how conspicuously does that demonstrate the hostile blood of India!
Remember the same timeline of 1940s.
 
Out of the uprising the notional independence was close. And for any Nation to be Sovereign the pre-requisite is an independent army. So for the nation which had to be free. The nation that wanted to be free had got to have its standing army- was what the situation. That was the 1940s.
 
Mind you, it always had to be the same- only that nation can be independent that has an independent army. It’s a simple universal common sense. You’re as independent as your defence. The fact was just that this simple fact that to qualify for an independent country you need an Indian army was not known to Indians. This small little fundamental had never crossed an Indian head until now. Subhash was the first Indian to be vocal about that.
 
With a plan he asked Gandhi for a call of army. Seeked help to organise an army. And there was Gandhi – like all dumbfucks I’m the peninsula- “Hum kahan se laayein fauj?” The Hostile Sleazeball got at loggerheads with the Futurist Planner. That bald stooge of the Brits was hiring for Brits after all. How could have he?
 
And the rest as they say is history.
 
The guy who fished sons to send to gallows like lambs for bakrid is known as the Father to the Nation. And the boy who returned pride for those unsuspecting dumb lambs is kNown as misguided. The holy man who got sex at 13 got the license for Brahmacharya Experiment at 40, went on to become Mahatma and still distributing character certificates.
 
No wonder the kids of that Gandhi return as Hungriest and the corrupted. Racing for the top slot in women’s safety racing against the likes of Congo, Syria, Afghanistan & Pakistan. Courts sluggiest without sense of justice. And the country with customers less than cuddle away wagging at 100th in Ease of Doing Business for the love of Ease of doing Crimes.
 
The Gurmeet Ram Rahim of 1940s went on to become the saint of Sabarmati. The Indians didn’t even ask, “Bapu Gandhi, what did you just hire? Is it the Peace Keeping Force even before establishment of United Nations? What’s the purpose, what’s the vision, what’s the goal?” 
And the man with vision, the man with a plan, as usual punished to pains.  Like the Indians do- The hostile illiterates.

Why Neta Subhash never Showed Up?

Only two people have had control over Earth. One is God. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose the other one- The Bossy Bose from India.

– Start Up Kumar

Apparently, from the tone set by the quote,  you might begin with a notion that this is going to be a patronising song to the Indian Nationalism and this miraculous Indian Nationalist. But it is not. For the man who was unstoppable, non-intercept-able, undecipherable despite an army behind him,  for the man who has already been the center of attention for close to 100 years and still remains so, that man is already way above patronisation.

Subhash was a man with plans. Always. And also unstoppable. He was one who did what he wanted to. To not let him do what he thought, it simply never happened. A Design geek who knew, “Design is not the way it looks, Design is the way it works”. A man of design who was far too ahead of contemporaries by design.

To reflect, what’s most notable and the element that defines him was his army that he built. The guy knew to qualify for a Sovereign Nation you need a Sovereign Army. Called it Indian National Army. And look at the design. Two different names in two different languages. “Azaad Hind Fauj” in Hindi and “Indian National Army” in English. Hindi was the language of masses, and hence nomenclature adapted to give a call of urgency, while for the purpose of international recall, and the fact that an army is a perpetual organisation and not a temporary event, which will also continue to exist in future, the name reflecting eternal sovereignty.

What a pity that the dumb Indians handicapped of brains and education are still to fathom such a Design masterpiece. Never did they ask that ill-bred malicious bigot Mohandas Gandhi the question meant to be asked.

Why did Gandhi come back to India? He came in 1915-  only one year earlier to commencement of World War-I , when the pre-events of War had been going on, Why ? In just one year an unknown lawyer went on to become a Rockstar celebrity of credibility and voice, that in an era when even newspapers were not common and neither was there internet. How ?
Such a massive recruitment- how did Gandhi become so larger than life in one year only ? And what was Gandhi hiring ? Was that a United Nations Peace Keeping force even before United Nations was born ? What was the purpose ? What plans of the Prisoners of Wars from the army hired ? Under what principle were the sons of India exposed to a war in which they had no stakes to ? In the name of Love ? The love for Enemy ?

And here was a guy who was once a CEO (CEO of Kolkata Municipal Corporation; and not a Mayor). He began aggregating Prisoners of War who were sons of natives that Gandhi had left in lurch without accountabilities. That from where? Africa, from where Indians really had no business to be in a War of their own.

Perhaps, in the world there is no better marvel of Design Thinking than the works of Subhash. No wonder that tag of “Führer” came from none other than Hitler himself, no wonder even the world’s most tyrant military leader couldn’t help falling in love with admiration for the mesmerizing Indian. And no wonder, nobody ever could turn an eye on the only Hindu marriage in the Nazi Germany.

May you take a note on hostility and double standard of Indians.

“Indian National Army because to qualify for sovereign nation you need a sovereign army”, Subhash presented.

“This doesn’t align with our principles of Non-Violence”, said Gandhi.

“Where do I get a force of this stature. It takes money”, said Nehru.

“What about the army that you’re hiring Gandhi? “, nobody questioned back.  Perhaps because the parents were getting some paltry salaries against sending their sons on war. The Indians were getting “Government Jobs” perhaps.

And what an end. The moment news flashed of Subhash dying, “Subhash Bose has died well. He was an undisputed patriot, though misguided”, dished out a character certificate that Gandhi who himself had no character of his own.

That Gandhi who used to sleep with naked women to test whether the male penis gets excited if there’s a female flesh in vicinity. As if there were no important work to do, no fire in country, no problems to be solved. And the fact that this Gandhi was a guy who got licensed sex right at puberty since the age of 13, he had luxuries to test spirit of Brahmacharya in mid 50s, nobody ever questioned, and here was this guy giving a character certificate to the guy who rehabilitated the souls left in lurch by the former. That Gandhi who was no better than Gurmeet Ram Rahim of 1990s. Same concept of glamorous ghetto called “Ashram” , same swarm of women aggregating for sex with a coveted guy, same isolated kingdom for the trade of power and influence. What a pity!

While Indians live pretty much the same even today, swarming around centers of alms compromising on all their integrity the little that they have, they still run after Gandhi, and Gandhi still constrained in ghettoes of his own brethren, never ever did Gandhi bearing Indian Rupees empower any masses, the larger the question has remained, why didn’t Subhash show up? Or Didn’t he ? Did he or Didn’t he ? Did he die in real sense ? What all transcribed after the so widely believed death of the Hero ?

If you connect the dots of Human ways and achievements, degree of evolution, tendencies and activities,  professions, transactions and occupations, life expectancy and mortality- all tabulated against time- the world can be split into many kinds of distinct boundaries. For instance BC/AD on religious dimensions, AM/PM on clock dimensions, Stone Age/Machine Age/Data Age on machine friendliness dimension. Similarly,  on Human Behaviour – the humans have one distinct boundary: Before Subhash/ After Subhash (BS/AS). And the Splitting point was one Oaten Moment which was a moment on the clock when one British Prof named Oaten got powdered by Subhash in a Classroom. The prof refused to lodge a police complaint for unexpected reasons only to take vow to be a nice dutiful professor only. And the world changed right after. 

If you watch closely you’d find there have been certain jerks who have scripted the humans’ directions tuned to their will. Say, Benjamin Franklin. He wanted to device a way to keep dollars flying. Flew a kite and changed the way the humans tread forever. Invented Electricity. The dollar still flies. And more recently than all of the them, there was Steve Jobs who installed a mother controlling device into normal daily individual lives, 100 years before they will have satellite machines in daily human lives. He wanted to eliminate all disorders from human transactions, which could have been only possible by machines. Brought personal computing into individual lives. And changed the way humans live thereafter, forever.  And similarly to all the shift humans have underwent- we owe to some selected Brain Heads- people who absolutely changed the script of humans ever after. Subhash Bose has been one of them very prominently for the last 100 years

Why wouldn’t it have been so! After all, the mastermind of the whole plot was none other than the Lord of Communications- Jagdish Chandra Bose himself.  Little did the world know the first human to script wireless communications who’d never patent a thing had actually plans to own the whole world itself. Little did the world know why every protege of JC Bose was a professor first and then something else as the mainstream vocation. Little did the world know what the Bose clan had planned and what did they execute in collective.

The humanity is in a certain direction today, at a particular stand point. For instance, the human population is 7 billions today- a number that they would never have imagined 200 years back. Today, every human hand has a magic box handheld which functions as remote control to life, and there has been no World War for over 73 years. Cancer has got a vaccine in- principle and teenagers get born as problem solving entrepreneurs, such are these days that humanity has turned around differently. For the first time in human history the grumpy ugly old citizens have got de-prioritized over fresher younger blooming talent- almost as a policy. The Big Bose (JC Bose) followed by his deputy (SC Bose) had a role to play in each of these. And that more thrilling than any thriller you would have ever come across.

The most spectacular result of that seen in BREXIT and the systemic decline of London’s growth. London by their own admissions is slotted to grow as sluggishly as 0.75 % – 1.3% in the next decade. Today, London is holding competitions to seek radical ideas to revitalize its economy, aloof of a fundamental fact that macro aspects like economies are a subject of  Succession Planning, subject of design. The Crown which went about splitting continents and drawing borders across the world today ending up in drawing its own borders in the end, splitting finally for a miserable isolation. And what a well designed systemic decline for the British it has been! Falling to same bait that they once rode on – Business Process Outsourcing. And the two Boses the masterminds of that. 

May you have a glance over that, how it progressed.

UK was an economy which found 80% of economy from services. Which means you don’t manufacture tangibles, you only process and package, and your business is Business Process. So, what if you outsource the process of business process ? You get left with nothing. Right ? Your business is somebody else’s business ? And how do you do it ? Is it executed by introducing one use case, and make the rest of humans ape the same of the models ? Is that exactly what has happened with the UK? And where the bulk of the posting of those processes ?

Is it to India?  And all those territories which the Brits split someday in the past- The Common Wealth?  Is it true that the net trade numbers are exactly in same proportions as opportunity costs siphoned off the erstwhile economies?

Simulate the numbers of The Commonwealth in a Time Value of Money scale, you’d find the UK declining at the same pace as those of commonwealth clubs rising.

And when you plot this transition against value chains, reconciling by action items and accountable people, all trails would lead to one man. Or in better words, for all things the world is clueless after 1925, substitute that element of cluelessness by Subhash Chandra Bose. You’ll find one man has systematically driven the world through the World War and afterwards: The Showman of Earth. You’ll find, until 1890s, the humans used to have a man- The man who knew too much. Then came a man on January 23, 1897. The man who Applied too much. That was Subhash.
