Wrong depiction of Ramayan by serial Siya Ke Ram

Yesterday I was watching TV and saw an advertisement of serial "Siya ke Ram". In that advertisement is was shown that Lakshman cut nose of Supnakaha because he had no respect for women and Sita was angry with Lakshman for doing that because she considered it to be an insult to womankind. 

Now a day characterless women have become face of feminism. Obscenity and characterlessness are considered essential quality of being a feminist. It is being projected that women can achieve high place only by drinking and being characterless. That is why Supnakha was depicted as victim of male chauvinistic attitude of Lakshman. Supnakaha was a characterless women and that satisfies requirement of being an icon of feminist.

The truth is that Supnakha did not propose for marriage to Ram or Lakshman but for immoral sax which both of them refused. After that Supnakha tried to kill Sita and Lakshman put a sword between Sita and Supnakha to protect Sita from Supnakha and by accident Supnakha's nose was cut. It was not intentional but neither Lakhman nor Ram apologized to Supnakha for cutting her nose because that punishment which she got was appropriate for the crime she did. I also, after 7000 years of it happening, agree with Ram and Lakshman. 

It is also being depicted that Ravana abducted Sita for taking revenge for Supnakaha. It is also not true. Ravana had no love for Supnakha. Had he be having any love for Supnakha he would have tried to killed Ram, Lakhman and Sita. But he abducted Sita because of his lust for beautiful women. I don't know of any person in History of 10,000 years who abducted someone's wife for taking revenge from him. I know of people who killed someone’s wife for taking revenge from him. But abducting someone's wife for making her his wife can't be done for revenge but for lust. 

This wrong depiction of Ramayan has been happening for last 800 years. More than 300 distorted version of Ramayana were written by different authors in last 800 years but people still believe in Ram's teaching. Lie does not have legs so can't stand firm with test of time. So these misrepresentations of Ramayana will also be rejected by people. 

The problem is with all other serials and TV programs is that they are projecting that by being characterless is the only way of being liberated be it a man or a woman. Drinking is a must for being successful and respected by others. Being characterless is another criterion for being an respected person. This kind of thinking is going to destroy Indian society. We need to stop it. 

I have decided not to allow Siya ke Ram in my house and I am following that. If you watch a serial in your house and a particular thinking is supported in that serial you children will think that you expect your children to follow that. So please be careful about serials and movies you watch.    

Income tax data released

Today central government release taxation data of central government of India. I am capturing some interesting part of it. I am interested in current years data:

Year - 2015-16
Corporate Tax: 454419 crore
Personal Income Tax: 286801 crore
Other Direct taxes: 1075 crore
Direct Tax collection: 742295 crore
Indirect Tax collection: 711885 crore
Total Tax collection: 1454180 crore
GDP - 13567192 crore
Population of India: 125 crore
Average per person income per year: 1,08,537 rupee
Individual income tax assesses: 4.86 crore

The interesting part is that out of Total tax collection of 14,54,180 crore only 2,86,801 crore comes as personal income tax which is 19.72 % of total tax collected. Number of individual tax payers is 4.86 crore which is 3.88% of total population. If I assume that every earning individual have 3 dependents then 15.55% of families are paying personal income tax.

If we assume that only 25% of our population is earning then average income per earning person is 4,34,148  (per family of 4 person).  As per current income tax slab tax on income of 5 lakhs is 25,000. The average tax per income tax payer is 59,012 rupee which looks reasonable.

7,11,885 crore rupee is coming as indirect taxes which is being paid by every individuals irrespective of their financial status. Excise duty on medicines is paid by every patient be him rich or poor. It is 48.95% of total tax collection. If 19.72% of tax is paid by 15.55% of families as income tax then it is not surprising.

On social media people are saying that 1% of people are paying 50% of the tax. It is not true as per data released by Income Tax Department. Only 19.72% tax is coming from 15.55% of families. Of course this tax money will not be spent exclusively on welfare of people it is collected from. If that was to be done then government could have applied fee for service rather than imposing taxes. Taxes are paid by riches and used for welfare of poor which rich people never like. Rich people can't publicly say that they don't want to pay taxes for welfare of poor people so they keep crying about corruption which happens in utilization of tax money. The actual intent of rich people is that they don't want to pay any money for welfare of poor people..
