Independence Day (India)

Independence Day,observed annually on 15 August, is a National Holiday in India commemorating the nation's independence from the British Empire on 15 August 1947. India attained independence following an Independence Movement noted for largely nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience led by the Indian National Congress (INC). Independence coincided with thepartition of India, in which the British Indian Empire was divided along religious lines into the Dominions of India and Pakistan; the partition was accompanied by violent riots and mass casualties, and the displacement of nearly 15 million people due to sectarian violence. On 15 August 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru, who had become the first Prime Minister of India that day, raised the Indian national flag above the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort in Delhi. On each subsequent Independence Day, the prime minister has raised the flag and given a speech.
The holiday is observed throughout India with flag-hoisting ceremonies, parades and cultural events. Indians celebrate the day by displaying the national flag on their attire, accessories and homes; by listening to patriotic songs, watching patriotic movies; and bonding with family and friends. Books and films feature the independence and partition in their narrative. There has been threats of terrorist attack on and around 15 August by separatist and militant organisations.

GST Bill???

GST बिल क्या है ? जानिए... इसे प्रचारित कीजिये और लोगों को बताइये कि आखिर कांग्रेस क्यों राष्ट्रविरोधी,विकास विरोधी है।

आजकल एक शब्द कानों में खूब गूँज रहा है ... GST बिल... वही बिल जो स्टेंडिंग कमेटी से पास हो गया ... लोकसभा से भी पास हो गया परंतु राज्यसभा में अटका पड़ा है ... जिसे आज अरुण जेटली जी ने भारी हंगामे के बीच प्रस्तुत किया ...आखिर क्यों कांग्रेस इसे पास नही होने देना चाहती ?
क्यों इतना हंगामा मचाये हुए है...??

GST बिल अर्थव्यवस्था की दिशा में क्रन्तिकारी कदम है ।
GST अथार्त् गुड्स एन्ड सर्विसेस टैक्स।

यह टैक्स अप्रैल 2016 से लागू होना है। मोदी सरकार द्वारा प्रस्तावित गुड्स एंड सर्विसेस टैक्स को 1947 के बाद का सबसे बड़ा टैक्स रिफॉर्म है। कई अर्थशास्त्रियों ने इसके लागू होने के बाद GDP ग्रोथ एक साल में 2-3% बढ़ने की पूरी पूरी आशा व्यक्त की है...
आखिर इसकी आवश्यकता क्यों है ?
-----------------------------------------
अभी तक राज्यों में अलग-अलग स्थानीय टैक्स लगाया जाता है जैसे कार अौर पेट्रोल का मूल्य हर राज्य में अलग-अलग होता है। कई सामानों की कीमत भिन्न राज्यों में अलग अलग होती है। परंतु जीएसटी लागू होने के बाद ऐसा नहीं होगा। प्रत्येक उत्पाद पर लगने वाले टैक्स में केंद्र और राज्यों को बराबर भाग मिलेगा। इससे पूरे देश में एक प्रोडक्ट लगभग एक जैसी ही कीमत पर मिलेगा और पहले से सस्ता मिलेगा ... जैसे दिल्ली से निकटवर्ती नोएडा, गुड़गांव वाले, जो कभी गाड़ी यूपी से लेते हैं, कभी हरियाणा तो कभी दिल्ली से, जहाँ भी सस्ती मिल जाए वो सब चक्कर ही खत्म हो जाएगा। जीएसटी लागू होने पर कंपनियों का झंझट और खर्च भी कम होगा। व्यापारियों को सामान एक जगह से दूसरी जगह ले जाने में कोई परेशानी नहीं होगी। अलग-अलग टैक्स नहीं चुकाना पड़ेगा तो उत्पाद का लागत मूल्य कम होगा। जीएसटी लागू होने पर सबसे अधिक लाभ आम जनता को है क्योंकि तब चीजें पूरे देश में एक ही रेट पर मिलेंगी, चाहे वो किसी भी राज्य से खरीदी जाये।

हाँ कुछ मदिरा भक्त और तम्बाकू सेवन वालों के लिए जरूर इससे कुछ लाभ नही होगा क्योंकि इन दोनों नशीले पदार्थो को इस श्रेणी में सम्मिलित नही
किया गया है। अब समझिये ये होगा कैसे ??

अलग-अलग अनेकों टैक्स खत्म कर उनकी स्थान पर एकही टैक्स प्रणाली लागू करने के लिए GST प्रारूप बनाया गया है। जीएसटी लागू होते ही सेंट्रल सेल्स
टैक्स, एक्साइज़, लग्जरी टैक्स, एंटरटेनमेंट टैक्स, चुंगी, वैट जैसे सभी कर समाप्त हो जाएंगे। इससे पूरे देश में एक उत्पाद लगभग एक जैसी ही कीमत पर मिलेगा। हमलोग अभी तक कोई भी सामान खरीदते समय उस पर 30-35%
टैक्स के रूप में चुकाते हैं। जीएसटी लागू होने के बाद ये टैक्स घटकर 20% तक आ जायेंगे। अभी आप लोगों ने सुना होगा कि केजरीवाल सरकार ने दिल्ली में वैट बढ़ाया जिससे सभी सामान महंगा हो गया परंतु इस बिल के पास होने के राज्य सरकारों द्वारा ऐसा कर पाना संभव नही होगा।

कई राज्य 27% से अधिक जीएसटी चाहते हैं। लेकिन केंद्र का कहना है कि 20% से अधिक दर तय की गई तो उत्पाद और सेवायें महंगी हो जाएंगी। अब केंद्र के मनाने पर 20% तक के लिए सभी राज्य राजी हो गए हैं। जैसे यदि जीएसटी 20% तय होता है तो केंद्र और राज्य को Tax Revanue का 10-10% हिस्सा मिलेगा और बाकी के टैक्स से मुक्ति... कई राज्यों का एक-तिहाई टैक्स प्राप्ति केवल पेट्रोल-डीजल से होती है। इसलिए वे पैट्रो उत्पाद को जीएसटी के अंतर्गत नहीं रखना चाहते। परंतु मोदी सरकार ने GST के अंतर्गत टैक्स प्राप्ति में हानि होने वाले राज्यों को केंद्र की ओर से पाँच वर्ष तक, पहले वर्ष में 100%, दूसरे वर्ष में 75% और तीसरे से पांचवें वर्ष तक 50% की क्षतिपूर्ति का प्रावधान किया है।
तमिलनाडु और एक दो राज्यों को छोड़कर शेष सभी राज्यों से सहमति भी हो गई है ...

अब सभी लोगों को वास्तविकता बताने की आवश्यकता आ गई है कि यह बिल कितना महत्वपूर्ण हैऔर क्यों कांग्रेस हंगामा करके इस बिल को पास नही
होने दे रही है.....

भारत मै गरिब नहीं रहेगा तो कॉंग्रेस को कोई वोट भी नहीं रहेगा

वैसे भी अब समझदार आदमी कोंगरेस को वोट नहीं करता

Motivational and Inspiring Short Story

A Dish of Ice Cream

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.

“How much is an ice cream sundae?”

“50 cents,” replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it.

“How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he inquired. Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient.

“35 cents,” she said brusquely.

The little boy again counted the coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said.

The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and departed.

When the waitress came back, she began wiping down the table and then swallowed hard at what she saw.

There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were 15 cents – her tip.

Potatoes, Eggs, and Coffee Beans

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot.

He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing.

After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.

He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked. “Daughter, what do you see?”

“Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she hastily replied.

“Look closer,” he said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.

“Father, what does this mean?” she asked.

He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity– the boiling water.

However, each one reacted differently.

The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.

The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.

However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

“Which are you,” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean? “

Moral:In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.

Which one are you?

The Elephant Rope

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

Shake off Your Problems

A man's favorite donkey falls into a deep precipice; He can't pull it out no matter how hard he tries; He therefore decides to bury it alive.

Soil is poured onto the donkey from above. The donkey feels the load, shakes it off, and steps on it; More soil is poured.

It shakes it off and steps up; The more the load was poured, the higher it rose; By noon, the donkey was grazing in green pastures.

After much shaking off (of problems) And stepping up (learning from them), One will graze in GREEN PASTURES.
