Indian Democracy Agenda: 1947 to 2047
Dr.Rao VBJ Chelikani This year's Independence Day on August 15 2022, without any doubt, was a day to celebrate the achievement of independence from the Britishers by extraordinary means i.e. by non-violent means and by mobilising together people of very diverse origins. While celebrating, we should not let this occasion be a ritual and symbolic, as symbols often replace the substance and make us forget the purpose. Every time, we should recollect and reflect upon the events, as history has never been a plain mirror reflecting…

Reflections of a Civil Society Activist: Ten Lakh Jobs and ‘Agniveers’ ?
Dr VBJ Chelikani While many political parties and their astute leaders in government in many states are lavishly delivering cash-cheques of tax-money, at their door-steps or into the bank accounts of anybody who is likely to vote for them, the Union Government thought it better to provide employment in the government directly ‘on mission mode’ so that people can receive regular salaries. But it is totally anti-economic and inflationary to recruit ten lakh citizens as government officers, precisely at a time when the s…
RWA Commitments for Better Environment
Dr. VBJ Rao Chelikani Change or evolution is in the nature of our Nature. But changes in man and by man have become more voluntary, faster and are impacting upon this entire planet. At present, we have not yet to be concerned about other planets and other galaxies. While the universe seems to be operating and evolving on an immutable logic of its own, the human being, however is able to gradually grasp the process of the Universe and understand the mechanisms of operation of the planet and is able to make changes to suit not on…
Our All-India Civil Services and their Social Responsibility
Dr Rao VBJ Chelikani The citizens have eagerly awaited the 21 April 2022 which is the Civil Services Day to find out whether there is any reflection or discussion on their part on the ongoing crisis in the domain of public administration.

He exhorted the government functionaries to attend to their prime responsibility, which accordin…
Further Justification for a New Foreign Policy
Dr.Rao VBJ Chelikani We reiterate the thesis that there is an urgent need for reviewing radically our policies of external relations as well as our strategies of defence preparations. This is brutally reminded to us by Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Unlike any other war in any other continent, this war in Europe among Europeans has challenges for us. So far, we have brilliantly succeeded in protecting our interests thanks to the ingenuity and tactful public relations deployed by our prime minister, minister for exte…
Ten Reasons for a New Foreign Policy
Rao VBJ Chelikani The invasion of Ukraine is a brutal reminder to us that it is high time that we radically revise our policies regarding our External Affairs and our defence preparations. Though wars are going on in many other places as in Sudan, Ethiopia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Myanmar, etc. this particular war is an occasion to draw many lessons for us, as we are living, today in a globalised world and we are no more a poor country. 1. The wars hereafter are the most visible and open in terms of all damage and destruction that is taking plac…
Citizen to be More Active as a Consumer
I. Political Democracy is Unable to Deliver Political democracy is not a complete democracy, though we have taken up ordering political relations among human beings as the most pressing problem since human security and the security of the groups has been dependent upon it from times immemorial. Political democracy has been, essentially, devised to avoid the bad experiences of the arbitrary rule of the kings and dictators in ancient, medieval and early modern societies i.e. till the 20th century. Though it has been accepted as a uni…
