With our current population growth rate, we are predicted to surpass chinese by 2050. We may be the only human race in history to exceed 2 billion by 2100.
It is high time for us to wake up and to direct our resources in the right direction. We should focus on universal education and good health care delivery to become a developed nation by 2050. Any effort to attain this will be greatly curtailed by our rapidly expanding population.
I propose the following measures to minimise our population explosion.
______________________
We should strive to provide UNIVERSAL Family Planning Education and Free Access to contraceptives.
In the beginning, it pays even to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
This program should focus on education and not be coercive in any form or shape
Short term measures:
• To make sex education, family planning and contraception a requirement in high school. It should be a core part of the curriculum. This will also be beneficial in combating HIV and spread of other STD’s.
- Caveat it will reach only the school goers.
• Reaching the public through film stars, sportstars, religious leaders and politicians
• Propagating this through massive advertisement campaigns ie: TV ads etc
• To develop a New Division For Family Program Education & Support.
Needs Full Funding support from government (it will be a highly effective form of health care spending for India)
- To hire & train local unemployed educated youth to get trained as advisors on family planning and contraception guidance.
- It should have equal no. of male and female advisors
- They should be easily accessible
- Be very friendly, supportive and non-coercive
• Following group of people need to see a reproductive advisor for family planning guidance within a specified time.
1. Marriage registration (should see advisor within 2 weeks of registration)
2. To make all marriages accountable and reportable to government authority. Law to make sure all religious institutions are made accountable to report marriages. (this way we could catch those marriages who go unregistered) Reproductive advisor should visit them within 4 weeks of marriage.
Following people should provide certificate of attendance
3. Before applying for ration card or any govt beneficiary program
4. Parents before their child’s primary school enrollment
5. Married couple before applying for bank loans
• Rewards of some form should be given to people who participate & this should be fully enforced.
Long term measures:
More health care funding to expand the services
- Access to family planning services
- Goal to minimize infant mortality rate
Education particularly improving female literacy & independence
Improving standards of life
Reducing the societal pressures to minimize the desire for male child.

Srilankan Humanitarian Crisis
Dear most friends,
I am deeply saddened to watch the humanitarian crisis, that is rapidly unfolding in front of our eyes to our fellow brethren Srilankan Tamils. I personally feel that we are all morally obliged to help minimize the pain of these people.
Lately I spoke to many Srilankan Tamils to identify ways to help their relatives back home. All of them unanimously suggested IMHO. It is an International Medical Health Organisation jointly staffed by doctors all over the world. Doctors take time off during their holidays or between their jobs to go to Srilanka to help these people.
I understand that among our busy schedule, it will be very difficult to go there in person. However by god’s grace, we are in a position to help monetarily. Please contribute generously to this cause. Few hundred dollars or pounds will go a long way in saving millions of young lives.

Also we should carefully monitor this problem and urge our lawmakers to make sure Srilankan government lives upto its promises.
If you have any another suggestions, to help this cause, please share your thoughts through this blog.

DISCARD RELIGIOUS POLITICS
It is very disheartening to see Varun Gandhi's speeches. Responsibility lies with us. It is a great shame to be fooled by religious gimmicks. We, the common people, should strongly discourage this sort of stupid actions. Religious politicians gain their strength through the support they gain by spitting these inflammatory remarks.
This is the time for us to raise against these low grade standards and as a nation, should join hands and propel forward with great enthusiasm and hope. India, our great nation is revered for its secularism and mutual respect to each other. We should take our proud nation to the next level on the world stage. No caste, creed or religious difference should deviate us from this path. Infact they should compliment our strength. Our neighbours should be ashamed of themselves and should feel why on earth they chose to part with our great nation.
Jai Hind

My dear fellow citizens,
This is the time in our history; we have to look back and said we made a difference to Indian politics. Time has come to make a conjoint effort to eliminate corruption, criminalism, and divisive politics (through caste & religion) through our election.
Come on India. Let’s rise to the occasion.
It is our great duty to our mother India to judiciously use our votes to select people who are going to define our, our childrens’ and grandchildren’s future. Prioritize your issues in your local and national causes and do research on the candidates who can fulfill that promise. It is as important as taking time to choose our childrens’ school, type of education etc. Let’s define our own future through our best choices. Do not yield to the 100’s and 1000’s offered by the corrupt politicians. By accepting them, you are mortgaging your aspirations to those calculative manipulators.
Let’s get involved in politics. We are living in an exciting time. Change has come to America in the form of Obama. There is a saying “China thrives because of government. India thrives, inspite of our government”. As Indian citizens we need to change the way indian politics works.
Poorly informed politicians should be discarded from our public scene. We have some of the best and most brilliant minds in the world. Progressive thinkers and well informed educated people should jump into politics and clean the waters. If every one of us changes the way we perceive politics then we, as a great nation, will be the guiding force for the entire world in the years to come.

ELECTIONS 2009 - OUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO OUR NATION
My Dear Fellow Indians,
Grab the opportunity to make a difference to our proud nation by carefully selecting the our lawmakers/politicians. It is our duty to help our neighbours and community to help select the right member to our parliament.
Come on India'. Lets raise to the occasion.
Learn more about your local candidates. Make decision based on their individual qualifications, rather than the party they are affiliated with. Learn their manifesto about improving your local communities needs such as education, provision of clean water, safe environment and more importantly an inclusive & corruption free society.
Vigorously Support the Independant Candidates if you think they are the right fit for the job. This helps to kill the divisive caste, religious and party politics. Needless to say, do not support the people who preach in front of the camera (actors & actresses) and those with a criminal background.
Decision we make in this election, is going to decide our fate in next decades to come.
Our top agenda should be to select the political party that comes close to the following priorties:
Party that Unites India regardless of caste & religion
Creates an opportunity for a corruption free society
Better and affordable education to every one
Access to Safe water and housing facilities
vocational training and good employment opportunities
Universal good quality healthcare to every single indian citizen
India needs progressive thinkers like you. Join me to better inform our fellow citizens and be informed.
Lets rally towards the top of the G 20 nations in the new few years to come.
Jai Hind.
Anand.
