I wonder, why all politicians, in general, accuse, abuse, Capitalism; when it is

the Capitalism which proclaims that every individual is sovereign. The Man is an
end in himself, and he is not a slave to the ends of the "society". What John Galt
said "I swear -- by my life and by my love of it -- that I will never live for the
sake of another man,and never ask another man to live for my sake.

Such is a rational Man, or the independent mind, it regognizes no authority higher


than his own judgment of the truth. He regognizes that man's life is the standard
of value -- that which supports man's life is the good, and that which destroys
his life is the evil.

Capitalism does not oppose you living in a society, Capitalism opposes you living
in a society as a slave. Capitalism does not create any slaves, it is the
communism which creates a society of slaves.

Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of our nation, was very clear in his mind on this
subject. He said, I quote: "Capital is lifeless, but not the capitalists who are
amenable to conversion. I do not regard capitalist to be enemy of labor"

However, it is a fashion amongst the so called socialists and communists and


leftists and left leaning-right going-wrong thinking politicians to consider the
capitalist as enemy of the labor class, They accuse the capitalist in front of the
poor people and then go to the same capitalist for their election fund to get the
vote of the poor people and they remain in power with the money of the capitalist.

This is not the true character of a politician. Gandhi, again was very clear on
Character, he had addressed to all the politicians, I quote "Your character must
be above suspiciaon,and you must be truthful and self-controlled. The truest test
test of civilization, culture and dignity is character and not clothing. A
language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speaker. Men of
stainless character will easily inspire confidence and automatically purify the
atmosphere around him. The real property that a parent can transmit to all equally
is his or her character and educational facilities, All your scholarship woould be
in vain if at the same time you do not build your character and attain mastery
over your thoughts and your actions.

Gandhiji never saw capitalism as an enemy of human society, but he kept the needs
of the last man in society before him.inspiring the enrepreners of his time to put
their money in the businesses which affects the last man in the society. Bajaj is
still following that.

Do you know why Communism will never come to Gujarat and why it is there for last
30 years in Bengal? as Ramchandra Guha of The Telegraph puts it, "Gujarati
economists place faith in the market, while Bengali economists are prone to trust
the state." and ultimately it is economists who creates the better future for the
nation and not the by the historians.People are not fools, they understand who
gives them their daily bread. You can not remind them daily about their great past
and past prosperity when their present is starving. Unfortunately, this is what is
happening in states like Maharashtra and Rajasthan. an overdose of history may
actually alianate the people from the politician and his party who tries to give
it in a new wine bottle.

The need of the hour is to follow the views of the Father of the nation, who is
sitting there smiling at you, on every currency note. The Congress, the UPA and
any party who comes to power hereafter, should ask themselves, are they truly
following the Father or not? if not then they have no right to remain in power.

We do not need to import our political and economical policies from abroad,
especially from across the border, our own Father has given us the legacy and
shown us the way on which we should walk. If we follow it we stay afloat,
otherwise we will be doomed.

Shall we go back to Gandhian Capitalism? or you may call it Gandhian Socialism, or


shall we allow our politicians to import our policies, economic and ideology from
the communist country across the border.
