Hijacking and destroying "Swadeshi" - from "made in India" to "made in India by Japense, Americans and other foreigners". !!!
.
When Swadeshi movement started, what we all meant by "made in India" was "made in India, made by Indians". We didnt mean "made in India , made by foreigners", The mere location doesnt add much --- the real thing in engineering is skills which comes not by colleges by actual manufacturing. So in all "swadeshi" , it was important that "things are made by Indians". eg Japenese or French or Chinese coming to India and making trains or weapons or mobiles or whatever is NOT swadeshi, even though technically these things are made on Indian soil. But they are Swadeshi only if Indian engineers are making them.
.
Hijacking a movement and claiming credit in not new in industry, activism and politics. Apple hijacked Xerox's idea of GUI in 1980s, and later Microsoft hijacked it. Freedom came due to Rashtrapita Mahatma Bose and Azad Hind Fauz, and those who did Navy Revolt, and Congress and Durtama Gandhi etc hijacked the credit. We at RRG raised SMS campaign to reduce juvenile age from 18 years to 16 years, and now BJP wants to claim credit. AK is trying to hijack Right to Recall and so on.
.
Now hijacking has two broad types --- hijack and destroy and hijack and implement and extend. eg Apple hijacked GUI idea of Xerox but extended it. And Microsoft hijaked apple's idea and extended it.
.
But AK is trying to hijack RTR movement only to destroy it. And now SoMoKe, SoMoKe, SoMoKe-andbhagats , and CoBhApSwaRa-workers are hijacking swadeshi and destroying it !! Let me explain how.
.
First, RSS-apex started Swadeshi Jagran Manch hijacked Swadeshi and converted into tel sabun swadeshi, and made a laughing stock. As per Swadeshi Jagaran Manch, Swadeshi was NOT improving Indian factories, but focusing on tel sabun.
.
And now RSS-apex, BJP-apex, NaMo, Congress, AAP etc have taken a new turn. They invite Japanese , French etc to make goods in India, and this "made in India" is called Swadeshi !!!
.
Why "made in India" is important? Because only real manufacturing adds skills. And the real wealth of nation is NOT goods but skills. Goods can be destroyed in weeks by a warring army. And then only skills are left. And a nation with no goods and skills eventually becomes slaves, just as Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have become slaves of USA today.
.
Now if goods are "made in India" but "made by Japanese or Chinese or French" etc then it adds zero skills to Indians. The most Indians will be doing will be low tech work like assembling using screw drivers. This isnt Swadeshi at all.
.
The "make in India" campaign is merely inviting FDI companies to make goods in India. But the heavy machines which build the goods will be all imported. The apex engineers will be all foreigners and so forth. All in all, "swadeshi" word has been hijacked and DESTROYED by SoMoKe, CoBhAp-apex, SoMoke-andhbhagats and CoBhApSwaRa-workers !! The ":make in India" campaign is merely asking foreigners to import heavby machines and setup factories in India, and then calling the goods they made as "made in India" and Swadeshi !!! And they are able to run this perverted "made in India, made by foreigners" campaign only because they are aided by paidmedia.
.
Solution I propose is to print law-drafts that will reduce inefficiencies of Indian factory owners, such as TCP, Jury System, wealth tax, inheritance tax, RTR judges, RTR police chief. RTR pollution control board officer. DDMRCAM etc. That will enable Indian factory owners to manufacture more and more, and bring real "Swadeshi" in India.
