Tax Dodging.

Large-scale evasion of taxes

The DRI, ante-evasion sleuths have to assess to duty, the country's different manufacturing giants,
importers- exporters who are reported to be involved in the form of mis-description of goods and
involved in large-scale irregularities resulting in loss of revenue to the tune of millions of rupees. The
sales, import-export records, a parallel secret records, when minutely seen would reveal astonishing
facts. According to unconfirmed reports available, it is estimated that contraband goods comprised of
forty present of the country's market during the period of last ten years. In the past the giant companies
were involved in delicate assessment issues like inclusion of value of primary secondary packages used
for packaging, in the value of the goods for the purpose of assessment to duty. It was at the relevant time
criticized that the Government was ignoring the plea of 'presence of presumption of innocence' in the issue.
Ultimately the Courts had to decide the issue fifty-fifty, in favor of the manufacturers and the Government.
The citizens are required to pay their tax to the rupee, and so we have to make sure that there is a sense of
equity. The untoward elements have not to worry about starving, freezing, or working in the heat like so many
of our citizens. They have their own group, club gatherings, discussions over sumptuous dinners and drinks,
etc. They would rather golf, than think. Because they want to forget what they have been doing. They were bent
upon the pursuit of money and pleasure at any cost. They caused the chaos- a handful of them. They are among us.
We owe it to our future generations to let them know the truth. Some groups of people managed to ruin our country
so completely that we have no other legacy to give to our children except poverty and dis-order of the day. Genuine
businessmen suffered, they could not stand in competition with the syndicates. People feel today, left, flat, dry, drained
and desperate. A country of a billion people is still without infrastructure, without proper housing facilities, without
education, without any direction, filled of poverty. Ten Five Year Plans have brought prosperity to a few selected groups-
and not to the people for whom they were meant. Imagine the huge plan outlay of one Five Year Plan; like that Ten Five
Year Plans; and the result? nothing. Who is responsible? No stock-taking was done. No post-mortem of the expenditure
was done. In fact at the end of every Five Year Plan, there should have been a breathing time of one year to think in
retrospect as to what was gained and what was left undone. There was a mad rush at the end of the first Plan to start
the other- a hay-day for them all, at the expense of the people of this country. We were spectators to this game for a
period of fifty-years. Now when the horse is stolen, they talk of locking the stable. Why do you worry about the empty
stable? Why don't you run to find the horse? Why don't you find those who stole the horse?

We need today the leaders like Sardar Patel. GB Pant, LB Shastri, Kairon,Kamraj Dr.BCRoy, YBChavan to take us out
of the present mess. This is no time to fight for leadership. Every one is a leader and people will appreciate his/her
services to the Nation. There is set, to-day, an atmosphere to save what is left. Do not disturb it. Give it a
chance for a period of full-term. The States have bankrupted themselves and have been running the administration
by way of over-drafts. Where are our natural resources? Where is the income from Forestry, Mines Coals agriculture?
State Governments collect millions in taxes by way of road tax vehicle taxes insurance charges sales tax and what not?
Emergency measures are the need of the day for discipline by the States. Municipalities and Panchayats collect entry-tax,
taxes on houses and what not? Where is an end of all this? The states have been running innumerable boards commissions
inquiry- matters of cases which have lost significance. Every MLA who could not get a seat as a minister is adjusted
as a Chairman of the Boards specially created to include them. All have jointly and collectively and severally left no
opportunity unturned to siphon public money under one pretext or the other. We have a Crisis. The crisis is dragged,
kicked, tossed farther and farther by taking short-term measures in the form of patches, and like keeping them alive on
oxygen and providing more money to keep them alive. The truth is bound to come out. Do something to stop this vicious
circle that has gripped the country today. Such delaying tactics is no solution to the calamity that has befallen. God save
this country.
The two opposition blocks have to play a constructive role. The Congress has the maximum seats and plus a support of a
large group of a party. Now the opposition should not corner the Government on agitation issues. You have to find something;
not this day to day hulla-gulla, crowd and morchas and bandhs and strikes and all sorts of tactics to harass the ruling
party. You have to behave. Indian Parliament is 55 years old. But the standard of their devotion to parliament is deteriorating.
Where are the old parliamentarians today who were our idols? Hung Parliament is the concept of the day.
