I would If I could 20: kill the demand, not the supply

Curb anti social activities like begging, illegal businesses, child abduction, women and men forced into begging by penalizing the customers or clients. The solution is based on 2 existing models.

1. Bribing is a crime as much as taking it

2. Seeking drugs is penalized

Advantages:

  • Reduces child abduction
  • Reduces begging
  • Reduces illegal business
  • Multiplies income towards govt
  • Multiplies footprint of legal businesses 
Solutions:
Buying from a minor: Penalizing those who knowingly buy from minors (on road, street, shop, organized or disorganized outlet), then the employment of minors will be reduced to a minimum. This disincentives the abductors of children who are often used for such activities. This will also increase the footprint of children at school.
Doing Business with illegal businesses: Penalize those who do business with street vendors who have occupied the street illegally. Buying from the road side businesses like eateries, street food outlets, vegetable fruit vendors might seem like a good act towards those who are selling it, but this is also encouraging criminal behavior and encourages breaking the law, disregard for life, law and order. 
  1. A regular street shop setup takes up the entire footpath, 
  2. its customers take up 20% of the road
  3. customers vehicles take up another 20% of the road
  4. walkers on the road will take up another 20% of the road since footpath is occupied illegally
  5. Chances of higher congestion, heavy traffic increases by 60% (since 60% of road is unusable)
  6. Chances of road accidents increase by 60% (since 60% of road is unusable)
  7. Discourages legal tax paying businesses who are paying rent, salary to employees to switch to non tax paying, non renting street vendors.
  8. Most vendors do littering which is against the law
  9. Most street vendors sell food which becomes unhygienic due to open cooking, road side dirt and pollution
  10. Creates street dog problem who keep hunting for bones, meat or other eatables on the footpath or road
We can simply start giving tickets to illegally parked vehicles on the road since they are causing congestion without asking the street vendors to stop their business. When people start getting penalized for just their vehicles being parked illegally in front of street vendors then demand for street vending will go down drastically.

Reservations and Appeasement: A conspiracy to destroy India

The best way to destroy a country is to make it destroy itself by its own people who feel righteous about themselves when they do it. The western countries like USA and other European countries need talent to drive their countries, corporations forward so that they stay ahead of the curve and this can be achieved only real talent. When in countries like india bring forth laws which will make sure that the important key positions in the government sector are based on discrimination, color, caste, language, creed and origin the real talented youngsters will obviously turn to the private sectors and a lot of these youngsters and talented youth is being grabbed at a high price from many western institutions and corporations like NASA, Google, Microsoft etc., which will only benefit the west and its interests because now we have indians working for western companies and countries in competition with india. It is in the interest of these western countries and private corporati...

Viral development via Smart Cities example city : bangalore Current disadvantages of cities/smart cities polarization of growth, development Dis connectivity between the residents of city and the rest of the citizens of the country Rise of class system migration of people, talent only towards city causing weaker section of society everywhere except city. talented, efficient people would not want to go to other places than cities due to lack of facilities, growth or development there won't be any growth, development or facilities other than cities due to lack of efficient people in places other than cities and also lack of interest sooner are later cities become seeders and places away from cities become leechers (if you have used bittorrent technology, then you would know) The migration of people to cities will always be higher than the rate of growth or accommodation and capacity of the cities due to the natural tendency of people to migrate to a better place with ...

stackexchange: Are shudras and women not allowed to chant Aum i.e Pranava?

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. Chanting and reading are different. Vedic Chanting has two parts - Tone and Recitation (Patha). It further has four different tones - Udatta, Anudaatta, Svarita and Deergha Svarita. Pathas are the styles of hymnal recitation. So unless your are are well skilled in these and your pronouncination, enunciation is accurate, you are not supposed to chant. Chanting the same mantras in different way produces different effects, different vibrations. Many a times a slight difference in spacing, intonation, pronounciation, enunciation produces different meanings. So unless you are classically trained to chant these, one shall avoid it but can read them with sound without making a sound, silently. Ex: Many in north india swap va & ba. Ravindranath tagore becomes rabindranath tagore. Many in north india also swap ra & da...
