The hotel that burnt in Delhi had permission for 6 rooms.

They built 25.

They needed NOCs from the fire department and probably the municipality to operate.

They didn't have it.

They were supposed to have a fire escape and an evacuation plan

They didn't.

Every building should be built in such a way that they should give free access to the fire brigade

They didn't.

On the above violations alone, they should have been shut down.

Yet, not only where they operating, they were literally flourishing.

Today 21 people died brutal deaths, including an entire family of 8, because the govt servants that were supposed to ensure stuff like this doesn't happen, took money and looked the other way.

21 innocent people, some of them medical patients, were burnt to death, because a group of people who were supposed to do their job, didn't do it.

21 people looking forward to their lives, were terminated, because a group of rapacious govt servants decided that bribe money was more important than people's lives.

Because for the govt, the value of a life lost due to government negligence, is worth Rs 2 Lakhs in Ex-Gratia.

The bribe amount of looking the other way, is many times that.

And the sad part is, every member involved in the heinous act of allowing this hotel to run and burn, will keep their jobs, get their salary, get the dues that the 8th Pay Commission will inevitable shower on them get promotions where they will take more bribes and kill more people and then retire into a glorious sunset with index linked pensions.

And the guy who ran this hotel. Nothing will happen to him.

He will blame some underling, get a new GST no in his wife's name and then run 14 other hotels like this.

P:S: The Delhi CM has ordered a "Magisterial" enquiry. What's the point of it all, when the so called "Magistrate" might also be the part of this food chain.

P:P:S: If the govt is so serious about punishing the people, let them book every govt officer involved in this in a case of Murder. And then jail them for life.

मुझे कभी एक बात समझ नहीं आई.. जब कोई भी ग़ैरक़ानूनी इमारत बन रही होती है.. तो सरकारी बाबू/अधिकारी रिश्वत लेकर छुपते कहां हैं? नियम ये हो कि जब कोई ग़ैरक़ानूनी इमारत गिरे तो जिस अधिकारी की नाक के नीचे वो बनी थी,उसका घर भी गिराया जाए.. ताकि दर्द उसको भी हो,..वो तो रिश्वत के पैसों से न जाने कितने बंगले बना चुका होगा.. 🙏#Corruption #Accountability #MakeOfficersAccountable

A student once explained how wild pigs are trapped:

First, they are given free corn in the forest.
They return every day for the easy food.
Then slowly, fences are built around them, one side at a time.
At first they resist. Then they adapt.
Finally the gate shuts and the pigs, now dependent on the free corn, have lost their freedom without even realizing it.

That is how freedom often disappears in societies too. Not suddenly through force, but gradually through dependence.

Free rations. Free electricity. Free cash transfers. Endless subsidies. Political promises of “something for nothing.”
Each may appear harmless in isolation. But over time, citizens begin depending more on the State than on their own enterprise, effort and initiative.

And when dependence grows, freedom quietly shrinks.

A nation becomes truly strong not when more people vote for benefits, but when more people create, build, innovate and contribute.

There is no free lunch.
Someone always pays the bill.
And sometimes, the hidden cost is freedom itself.

Respected @nsitharaman ji and @FinMinIndia ,

Suggestion 1 of 3 for strengthening India's capital markets:
Long-term capital gains tax on listed equities should be abolished.

A long-term shareholder is not a speculator but a provider of patient risk capital. By investing in and holding businesses, investors help companies expand, create jobs, innovate and contribute to India's economic growth.

India requires enormous amounts of long-term capital to build world class enterprises, infrastructure and global champions. Tax policy should encourage households to move savings from passive assets, including imported stores of value such as gold, into productive businesses that create jobs, generate tax revenues and build national wealth.

The appreciation in a company's value is not created in isolation. During its growth journey, the government already collects corporate tax, GST, income tax from employees, customs duties, stamp duties and numerous other levies. Long-term capital gains are often the final outcome of economic activity that has already generated substantial tax revenues.

Most importantly, tax policy should clearly distinguish between investment and speculation. A long term shareholder is a partner in wealth creation, not merely a participant in market transactions. Tax policy should reward long-term ownership of productive businesses and distinguish it from short-term speculation.

India needs more patient capital, more entrepreneurship and more long term investing. Abolishing long-term capital gains tax on listed equities would be a powerful step in that direction.

Respectfully submitted.

I have nothing against private clubs. As long as they are built by private people on private land with private funds.
As far as I know, Delhi Gymkhana Club is only private when it comes to memberships.

[Ravi Dhingra @ravidhingra_]

Delhi Gymkhana Club - 27.3 acres at most prime location for 14000 members to drink & dine, play cards & socialise. Waiting time for membership which go beyond one’s life span, the privileged ones are not likely to give up space easily, without a fight #delhigymkhanaclub #gymkhana

Dear @narendramodi ji,

If every Road had a Footpath, Many Could Walk Down to Work.

Can we in 100 days ensure that every Road in India has a Proper Wide Footpath for Pedestrians and not for Hawkers?
