My rebuttal for Tarun Tejpal's nonsense ....

How do you feel when a person who can write really well puts his talents at the disposal of socialism ? I have my blood gushing moment . I had one today when i read Tarun Tejpal's interview in firstpost . The whole essence of the interview is that " the rich and middle class are responsible for the poverty in this country as they hold the levers of privilege and the middle class is unintrospective and have double stadards " . This fierce opinions are basically a derivative of the communist education that Mr Tejpal had . I feel his opinions about the middle class and the rich and his outlook towards economy highly repugnant and self-indulgent . Here are my reasons .

Mr Tejpal is a preson who adores Jawaharlal Nehru . He strongly believes that the policies of the governement that spawned free enterprise in this country after 1991 created a whole new middle class and strenghtened the rich and both these classes are consuming the resources of this country . He believes in distribution and not in earning the wealth and he is an advocate of economic equality .Mr Tejpal would serve this country better if he look at the economic policies that were germinated by Mr Nehru and championed by Miss Indira Gandhi . Mr Nehru with all his good intentions has laid the foundations of socialism in this country . Every sector of economy was invested into by the government and there was very less space for private enterpreneurs to play . This was basically done inorder to ensure that different classes of people are not created by allowing enterpreneurs to create wealth .Nehru and his daughter did everything possible to clip the wings of enterpreneurs . As a result the country did not see a decrease in poverty . we were basically seeing an entitlement based economy instead of a real economy . And by 1991 India after it's 44 years of romance with socialism came to the verge of bankruptcy .Mr Tarun Tejpal should explain to use why poverty was not eliminated in those 44 years of socialism . The so called levers that are being held by the middle class and the rich were held by the government , so why were we not able to wipe out poverty and why did we not have a well educated society despite levers being in the hands of the government .

Mr P.V Narisimharao saved this country with deft political manavouring and doing all those reforms necessary to inginite enterpreneurship in this country . It is absolutely true that we have witnessed monumental proportions of corruption in the recent past and we also have numerous political economic and social problems in this country . But to accuse the middle class and the rich for the poverty and the various economic problems and the various injustices that were carried out in this country is intellectual dishonest .If you have the courage accuse the congress party for not being able to direct the resources at their disposal to solve the problems by creating first rate infrastructure and for indulging in unprecedented corruption . Instead of blaming the main political party and the family that is responisble for the deplorable state of our people you chose to attack the middle class and the rich , it's terribly dishonest . This country will definitely come out of the poverty it suffers today and that can happen only if we marshal our resources to build first rate infrastructure to facilitate real economy . Gujarat is a great example where political leadership with it's shear will has fought so many economic ills .It is possible to do the same in the entire country if we chose to adopt more of capitalism instead of moving back to socialism . This country's leadership will do a great deal to it's people if it disinvests from every direct economic enterprise that it hold's a stake in and concentrate on it's fundamental responsibilities like building infrastructure , create health care systems and educ ation systems and providing dynamic frameworks for administration . We do not have to take care of the people we only have to create real economy people will take care of themselves ....
