1.Wow ??? no mention of education & health system??
Of course, gentry class to which the Print fraternity belong is not ready to pay which is fiscally costly …
Guptaji’s Logic of UBI is not Welbeing of impoverished fellow citizens but to ” cut the cost”..
Of course, transformative welfarism as opposed to tiny welfarism may engender wage price spirall leading to macroeconomic instability may lead Indian capitalits to dump the Ruling party..
Also No transformative welfarism of health & education or even basic governance can be done without introduction of wealth tax or some relevant direct tax… which Guptaji will not allow…I suppose..
2. ” small percentage of farmers”… guptaji this small percentage in india means 5 million or more …
3. MGNREGA subsumed under UBI???
Which economic logic goes into this except Market fundamentalism,?? MGNREGA works as base price-settling mechanisms in rural labour market vis a vis rural feudal-tinged capitalists….it increasing bargaining power of rural & urban lanouts in informal economy…
If you want to undermine this, I don’t know which ” National interest” , you are purporting to serve
Society and economy is just a set of contracts. In a modren civil society these contracts and their violations are settled in court. When mundane cases take decades to resolve nothing moves. Judicial reform should be number 1.
Bureaucratic system need a complete overhaul and there is no checks and balances to hold babu accountable. They are only accountable to their masters so they can stay in power as long as they serve their masters well and the public can’t hold them accountable. This system preserve the elite and powerful and promote patronage system which still continue to maintain his stronghold over the system

India would be a land of milk and honey if we did not face a two front challenge. It will not be resolved through the Raisina Dialogue. Serious, purposive diplomacy. If a composite problem has endured for three generations, it cannot all be the other guy’s fault.
PS: Reservation must be Class based (max 40%), but scholarships and academic compensation should still be Caste based, as, of course, a poor Brahmin and a poor Dalit are not completely equivalent. This way we get to preserve all the benefits of reservation, while keeping it completely fair. It will also upgrade our society and politics, thus our economy.
Let me improve this list:
1. End Reservation or at-least make it class based. Determination of income level is not very difficult in the age of technology. And u don’t have to verify each participant in any examination, u just have to verify the final merit list or at most preliminary list of candidates.
2. Digitise all land records and individual property with the help of drones and GPS. This will help in pooling fragmented land and breaking farm ridges. Which will help in mechanisation of agriculture.
3. UBI Perfect.
4. UPSC (JEE,NEET) is a real challenge. Because to get rid of the associated damage (capitalists coaching) the whole education system must be rethought. Also whether exams are tests or filtering schemes would’ve to be decided, education as means of career or enlightenment would’ve to be rethought as well, the way school and its academic are designed must also change. Academics must be designed as skill imparting with current and future industry in mind, not just as criteria to clear job seeking exams. But I must correct one thing, UPSC and JEE are Not rote learning, but misguided learning: learning in the pursuit of success instead of knowledge.
5. Electoral Bond must be brought back but with complete TRANSPARENCY. Not only will it help in decreasing criminalisation of politics but it will also resist crony capitalism.
6. As I put in 2, digitisation of increasingly and generationally fragmented farmland will help in breaking खेत की मेढ़, which will help in efficiency and mechanisation of farming. It will also help in alleviating perennial civil disputes in panchayats and courts. The farm revenue will be shared according to area of ownership among landlords.
7. Facilitate privatisation, not Adanisation.
Leftists must be banned from UPSC. Socialist ‘welfare’ schemes made by them for their socialist masters should be scrapped.
