151220 About Kisan Showdown - 2

Kisan Showdown is stuck in an 'Asmanjus' (indecisive) situation. While some Kisans want to revert to old system by abolishing the Kisan Bill, others are indulging in counter showdown by supporting the Bill.      So while one group wants to stay cool and cozy in the old system, the other is too eager to jump on to the road of progress. But does this other group guarantee the safety, security and sanctity of Kisan community? As I had mentioned in my previous post, the Bill will have many ill-effects and most likely destroy the inheritance of centuries and the principles and souls of ancient civilization of India. Isn't this what a foreign power like those of Chinese or Muslim origin would like to do? This also puts a question mark upon progressive policies of Modi Government. At least Notebandi, change of Taxation system with GST and now Kisan Bill are all indicative of same results. Are there really some foreign powers behind Modi Government? Are they playing puppet showpiece to them and actually destroying the spirit of nationalism and unity of India? But whatever it is, we the people of India cannot accept such destructive policies for India and nationalism.

    On the other hand, the protesting Kisan can opt for a suitable modification in the Bill. I had suggested such action in my previous post also. Here, I will suggest a more elaborative model: there can be a few licensed Kisan Organizations or two - three organizations per state who will together enroll all Kisans as their members, have sub-committees in each district and even village level, managing committee will be by virtue of election, have their own rules for membership, work and crops to grow, education and training, support industries, stocking, caretaking of stocks, marketing, HRM for these activities and eventually a control over their own way of life and activities related to it. These committees and sub-committees will have the onus of providing equal opportunities to all their members, proper production, stocking and sale of their crops, caretaking and loans, resolution of fraternity grievances, etc. All these will form a big task but its all that we do in our daily life and actually just a task of organizing together. With the given modern situation, it won't be difficult. Only difficulty can be uniting into a few or two - three organizations per state. In such a case, each sub-committee can be started at village level and joined up to form a district level and then state level committees. Those in unison can join it and those in confrontation can form their own sub-committees. Slowly their changes and alliances can be permitted and adjusted.

     This kind of formation can have two straight beneficial effects. One, it will arrange for care of all and resolution of their fraternity grievances like getting sufficient work or selling crops at good bargain price. Secondly, Kisans will take care of their production, it will reduce wastage due to lack of warehouses or care or even pilfering. For this purpose, the Kisan Organizations can even hire/purchase vacant Government warehouses and other infrastructures. This way, the Kisan can repay back to the Government for all the investments they have done over so many years.

     Finally, the Kisan Organizations can even imbibe a clause for Government support and subsidy in case their crops don't get buyers at an optimum price. This could become the new MSP but invoked only if the Kisan Organization is not able to get a good bargain price.

      So, the Kisan can venture into a more professional world all by himself and be more profitable, productive and loss-saving for the Government. If it fails, they can always revert to old MSP system.  IPYadav
