Campaign to Introduce Social Democracy in India

हमें भारत में सामाजिक लोकतंत्र (social democracy) को लाना होगा जिसमें देश का धन सभी नागरिकों का धन होगा और उसका प्रबंध अपराधी नेता नहीं बल्कि ईमानदार डोमेन विशेषज्ञ (domain experts) करेंगे | इस से हमें समान अधिकार और समान सुविधाएं मिलेंगी और हम एक खुशहाल जीवन जी सकेंगे | इस नए राजनीतिक मॉडल से हर एक नागरिक का अच्छी शिक्षा और अच्छे व्यवहार द्वारा सशक्तिकरण किया जाएगा ताकि वह एक सफल और सम्मानित नागरिक की तरह रह सके|

Social democracy is supposed to build an egalitarian society in which all citizens are equal and they have equal rights, opportunities, freedoms, and access to justice. This campaign is being run by Rakesh Raman, who is a national award-winning journalist and founder of the humanitarian organization RMN Foundation which is working in diverse areas to help the disadvantaged and distressed people in the society.

आप सब से अनुरोध है कि आप इस राजनीतिक सुधार अभियान के साथ जुड़ें | धन्यवाद | You can click here to know more about this campaign.

Power Play: Lok Sabha Election 2024 in India

A new editorial section / microsite “Power Play: Lok Sabha Election 2024 in India” will cover the election news, events, and campaigns. It carries multimedia content including text, graphics, and videos.

The tenure of the current Lok Sabha is supposed to end in June 2024 while the previous Lok Sabha election (a.k.a. the general election) was held in April–May 2019. 

As the political parties in India have already started their campaigns to prepare for the 2024 election, the Power Play editorial section will keep all stakeholders – voters, politicians, political activists, election authorities – informed about the election stunts and strategies of politicians and their parties. You can click here to visit the Power Play microsite.

Lethal Gas Chambers of India: Research Report

Lethal Gas Chambers of India: Research Report on Pollution in Delhi

This research report reveals the worsening environmental situation in India’s capital New Delhi because of increasing air pollution. Of late, the hazardous effects of pollution have exacerbated as the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India, has unleashed a brutal scheme under the FAR (floor area ratio) construction policy.

The new scheme allows inhabited group housing complexes of Delhi to extend their existing buildings by allowing individual flat owners to construct more rooms, balconies, etc. while ignoring the health and safety concerns of others who prefer to live in a clean, peaceful environment.

The ill-conceived FAR policy has led to a widespread building construction activity in all parts of Delhi – particularly in the group housing complexes where nearly one-fifth of Delhi’s estimated 30 million people live. Obviously, this massive construction work is spreading lethal cement-dust and noise pollution in and around the sites where construction is happening.

The report urges the global community including the UN and the U.S. Department of State and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to impose strict economic, diplomatic, and trade sanctions on India. It also suggests that the Indian ministers, politicians, and top officials must be punished with travel bans on them and freezing of their assets, and they should be declared as environmental terrorists.

You can download and study the research report and share it with your family members, friends, neighbours, and colleagues so that they could support this environment protection activity. Or you can read the previous version of this report in the e-book format which is given below.

Consultative Paper on Political Reforms in India

Mostly poor and uneducated people vote in India

As the Lok Sabha Election is scheduled to happen in India during 2019, I have launched an exclusive online editorial section for voter education. It sheds light on the political as well as democratic status in the country.

As I have been studying various aspects of democracy and election processes, I find that the current political system in India is totally flawed. In order to reform this system, I am working on the development of a new competence-based political / governance model for India.

After extensive study and research, I have found that the current democratic system needs a complete overhaul. I have presented my initial findings in the form of a consultative paper that you can download. You are encouraged to study it and circulate it among others. I also invite your views on the new model that I am proposing.

Key Findings

  • In its current deformed form, the democracy in India has taken the shape of parliamentary dictatorship. Now there is a need to create a system that can usher in an egalitarian society.
  • A major paradox in the elections is that majority of the voters don’t elect but they reject the party that forms the government.
  • Successive governments in India have leveraged democracy to their own advantage or for the benefit of a few politicians while depriving the citizens of their fundamental rights.
  • Bureaucratic inefficiency is the worst form of corruption in India.
  • People elect the candidates without analyzing their capabilities and then keep complaining during their tenures till the next elections.
  • India is the largest country in the world that is struggling to protect the democratic fiber in the nation because the country is facing a severe leadership crisis.
  • Majority of the people who adopted politics as a profession during the past 50 years are uneducated, unskilled, goons, or from the traditional political families.
  • India’s sorry plight is persisting because of the flawed democratic system – which nurtures incompetence and kills talent.

Equal Opportunity for All to Live and Progress

RMN Foundation

RMN Foundation strives to build sustainable resources to allow underprivileged sections of our society to stand up with full dignity and join the mainstream.

The current focus of its activities, however, is on children, as the RMN Foundation believes that the key is in the hands of children to make this world a better place to live. And because of their inherent innocence, children can be easily groomed to become future leaders who can, in turn, help millions of other people.

Although the RMN Foundation has started its campaign from India, it will defy all man-made geographical demarcations to extend its reach across the planet, at all places where it is required to serve.

RMN Foundation is the corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of the Raman Media Network (RMN) Company, which is working in diversified content creation, management, and distribution businesses on a global scale. Its focus business areas are Online Content, Publishing, Digital Media Campaigns, and Films.
