Why Baba Ramdev is not well supported?

Why Baba Ramdev is not well supported?

The issue of returning back black Money in India by Ramdev Baba is no well supported by People as per expectation. It has been 9 days since the Anshan has been started. Everyone saw how easily the Government has won the battle over Ramdev to kick him out from Delhi Ram Lila Maidan.

The kind of support which Anna Hazare received huge support from common man. Although less than 5% people know what was the issue exactly for which Anna Hazare was fighting even they supported while 95% people know well the issue raised by Baba Ramdev but still they don’t support. The support means not only to support from mouth, facebook or any other way where you don’t need any sacrifice.

I would like bring the key reasons why Baba Ramdev doesn’t get support. Please out your comments and your views.

Most of people respect Baba Ramdev and they follow the Yoga exercise given by Baba Ramdev. I did Yoga first time due to Baba Ramdev in 2005. I succeed to get rid of Sinus , snoring and breathing problem which was not solved even after operation. Since then I am one the Baba Ramdev Follower. But could not continue Yoga. It has been reinitiated for last one month when I felt degradation my stamina of travelling from morning to late evening (as I am in sales). The improvement has  been very good.

Based on above I should support Baba Ramdev, But I am confused. I went Jantar Mantar to support Anna Hazare whom I don’t know well as compared to Baba Ramdev. I discussed the points with many of my friends, seniors, older people. Most of the people said it is good, but no one was ready to go Ram Lila maidan for this cause. I have analyzed following reasons:

BLACK MONEY: What is the definition of Black Money? What is the way to calculate black money?

According to Me. Black Money is the money which is generated by tax thefts and under the counter money, which officials take as a corruption, unaccounted for and untaxed cash generated by dealings in a black economy, black market, or organized crime, usually received in cash, from underground economic activity. Black money is earned through illegal activity and, as such, is not taxed. Recipients of black money must hide it, spend it only in the underground economy, or attempt to give it the appearance of legitimacy through illegal money laundering.

1. Most of people who are not poor have black money.
2. In India 50% people are not poor so 50% population has black money.
3. Supporter of this issue comes in 50% who are not poor  who has black money
4. Most of the donors for Baba Ramdev Patanjali aashram has black money
5. The system in India has been so well structured from that it is very tough to find a way out from black money.
6. All the money deposited in swiss bank must have come from  various resources

6.1   Bribe: We all give and take bribe. This is illegal and it comes small packets to big business and Government projects. Even white color business like IT industry involves a huge bribe in corporate as well as government.

6.2   Illegal Money: This is gained by illegal source of income or business like prostitution, kidnap etc

6.3   Business : Even small business man don’t reveal their income due to TEX

6.4   Tax saving: even small income employee saves TAX by TAX policy

6.5   Big Scam: Like Hawala, 3G scam etc

There may be more resources. But it shows clearly that major population of India is involved in black money process.  Why we all part of this corruption. We supported Anna Hazare, but never realized that how we are part of the corruption but when it came to Black Money process then we realized that directly or indirectly we are part of Black Money process. So the support has been minimal. Like Bollywood is not supporting as we all know the huge involvement of Black Money process in Bollywood.  The same has happened with Baba Ramdev. He will never be able to find out the resources of the donation money from where he receives the huge donation. Does he check the PAN card or Income resource of his promoters?

I am working in ERP implementation which has finance module as well. Almost all customers need a way out to manage cash and black money. Most of Chartered Accountant is paid high remuneration only for hiding the income and saving the income TAX.

Whatever I have written above is the fact which is known to all either Manmohan Sigh, Baba Ramdev or Anna Hazare. The question is what is the solution to end the Black money process which is not only the result of corruption but also the Indian system. An employee who earn even 5 Lac/annum, how he can manage his needs today. The prices have gone up even for education.  At micro level the common who is involved in this system, chances are high that he has some problem. At macro level like big scam, big business man, officers who has account in swiss bank they are the one who has money in excess. Baba Ramdev is true that we cannot change the entire system in a day but we have to start from a point. So We all have one consent that the money deposited in Swiss bank has to be back in India. It does not matter who has initiated the voice. But the problem is that less than 0.1% people who rule the rest India have their account in Swiss Bank. Then who will dare to raise the voice. We all need money for our daily need. We all are busy. Half of the population of India if don’t work for single day, they may have to lose dinner.

I am confused regarding the ways to solve out the issue. I am sure our PM who is the legend in Finance and economics must be also confused how to solve this issue. I have only one solution which comes into my mind. Lets the government hire IIM or IIT (i.e most innovative brains) and find out the ways to solve issue. The government promotes and pays the patents for technology. In the same way they should also promote the patent and innovative solutions to solve the social issue.  Our education system has not yet come out with any college where the social development has been given the same importance as MBBS or B.Tech.
