એજન્ડા 2030 (SDG) સિદ્ધ કરવા માં ગાંધીજી વિચાર ની ભૂમિકા 

A proverb I read , “we do not inherited this earth from our ancestors, we have borrowed it from our children/next generation.” That is what I consider as Sustainable development in a lay man’s language.

A like statement of Gandhiji is also very famous “Mother earth has everything for everyone’s need but not enough for everyone’s greed.”  

Both statement point our toward sustainable development. A  so called development that vitiate environment is not in favour of our new generation. Thus it is not sustainable on every yardstick, however it may be profitable for time being.

Present Government has given SDG- 2030 ( Sustainable Development Goal- 2030) has many aspects imbibed inside the mission.To test it with Gandhiji’s eyes is perfect as he was man ,who was known for caring for people who seats at last echelon of society. Here as per Gandhiji’s philosophy development is that , which use natural resources without damaging environment and sustain it for next generations to come. Presently, globe is facing many environmental challenges. Depletion of natural resources, threat life expectancy of living species on the earth and many of them facing extinction.Apart from this challenge there are new epidemics erupts now and then. Corona Virus is threatening life of millions of People. China is battling hard to overcome it. Nearly 1560 people died and 40000 are infected. AIDS , Cancer, TB  are the few epidemics that are rampart in human societies in many  developing countries. These all epidemics are by-products for craving of material development.Is this the development for which we were dreaming for ?

Present Indian Government has come up with clear idea of SDG-2030. A road map has been prepared for the same. Many standards are set for -to do and not to do-in name of development.
Following are the set goals of the Government.

1.Secured Earth and Green Earth-
2. Use of digital gadgets to save environment and secure people.
3. Conserve national resources by reducing use of it and finding alternatives of them that are non not threat to environment.
4. Use of technology for not allowing any decease to spread and kill people in masses
5. Life expectancy of all living species must be enhanced.

Gandhiji’s philosophy was to see people satisfied with quality of life they live . People must engage themselves to spiritual activities and care about every one including animal plants, birds, water,air and in some total of whole environment . The BHAJAN Gandhiji was reciting VAISHNA JAN TO TENE KAHIYE JE PID PARAYI JANE RE, every morning also reflects about development that is sustainable. Though the SDG terminology was coined by UN recently,the goal was same as was in Gandhian philosophy. Gandhiji was of the opinion, that a village must fulfill peoples needs within itself by providing employment to people of villages. That will reduce rush for cities. Overcrowded cities, lead to socioeconomic and environment problems.The same ideology can be adopted by considering state as a unit. This is because , transportation , communication have become fast and it has shrinked states and globe. Use of technology will ensure credit ability, dependability and honesty at par. That will make transparent dealing and with utmost honesty.  In turn high collection of tax will be used for betterment of people, nature and nation. This will lead to long lasting development.

Again, Equality among all classes of people and developing and maintaining egalitarian society was the aim of Ghandhiji’s philosophy. In other words a society strong and healthy- mentally and physically - was the aim of Gadhian Philosophy and  same is objective of present Government.Cleanliness , fitness and truth were the prime objectives of Gandhinan philosophy for people. Here present government is also persue the same objectives under different title. SWATHCCTA BHARAT ABHIYAAN , FIT RAHE INDIA, PRACTICE OF YOGA, AYUSHMAN BHARAT, KHELE INDIA. Smart cities and other  projects peruse the same objectives laid down by Gandhiji for long lasting development for society.( In present parlance “SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT”).

Current Government goals, for Sustainable development is new version of Gandhiji’s development model/ Gandhiji’s philosophy.But with help of new technology. Here development will be visualize on ground through use of technology and based on that required changes can be made prompt in the policy. For instance , free distribution of Gas to poor community can be ensure through assistance of  IT , Housing schemes for poor community can be reached to needy only through help of Information Technology. Opening of Bank account for poorest of the poor, is also for providing direct and instant financial help to poor by eradicating Middle Men. Insurance schemes for poor people and farmers are also proof of sustainable development. Care for nature and discourage use of plastics is also part of present Govt. Policy.NAMAMI GANGE project will educate people to show sensibility toward use of water and sustaining its quality for potability and irrigation.   Discouraging petrol vehicles and encouraging battery based vehicles are also sign of sustainable development. Encouraging start up India- Stand up India- Make in India are also leading toward Sustainable Development. There are many such projects that are launched by current government that lead toward SUB KA SATH,SAB KA VIKAS AND SAB KA VISWAS. 

Obviously, these all objectives were dreamed by Gandhiji , after independence. The same is perused by current government with well planned policy and with NOW OR NEVER urgency and with use of Technology.Here people of India/( government ) will able to audit the progress toward  SDG every year. That will give ideas to make alter plans/schemes/projects to reach goal of SDG-2030.

DETERMINED AND DECISIVE
BJP
GOVERNMENT

Uphoding of CAB in Rajya Shabha has made common people happy ( of all religions including Muslims). On the contrary oppositions have lost their credit ability as opposition Parties , specially Congress.

Since this Government came in power , it is making the ground clear by perusing its MENIFESTO given in parliament Election in 2019. BJP got set back due to back stabbing of SHIVSENA in Maharashtra State. But recovered speedily in by-election of Karnataka. The result of by-election in Karnataka has passed cold severing in bodies of opposition parties. They realized that Indian Voters are now determined to see concrete result of party’s manifesto. The election in Jarkhand will again a litmus test for BJP/NDA. If BJP will come out with thumping majority in Jarkhand then allied parties to BJP ( in NDA) will become more sober and obedient.

This decisiveness and determinant nature of BJP is loved by Indian People/ Voters. Be it Triple TALAQ, RAM Mandir, 370 ( Most influencing ) and now CAB. These all were very tricky and difficult to touch and hence previous governments always kept them away form these all issues. But BJP government has taken it from front and one after another solve it without much difficulties.

Shiv Sena is in still ambiguity by its agenda and coalition. The party had realized that  Issue of HINDUTVA has been hijacked by BJP. After death of BALAJI THAKRE. The party has been ideologically become weak. To keep party strong it was in dire need of CM seat. That was not granted by BJP. Thus it felt  in Sharad Power’s trap. SHIV SENA is now a confused party. It has favoured CAB in Parliament and opposed in upper house ( Rajya Shabha). As it was not enough, Rahul Gandh’s  insane statement “ I am Rahul Gandhi and not Rahul Savarkar” put SHIV SHENA in deep dilemma. In other situation (without coalition in Maharashtra) SHIV SENA would have gone on rampage in Mumbai and aggressive reaction would had shown on Mumbai street and in the state , but here it restrained under coalition by making a simple statement not to insult SAVARKAR as he was CHAMPION of independence struggle. Eventually this statement is given by SANJAY RAUT on social media , who is consider as thought engine of SHIV SENA.The weakness and compromise is reflected from the statement. Any supporter of SHIV SENA whoud not satisfied only with weak statement Thus it will make BJP more stronger and ideally clear toward hindutva ideology.

Jarkhand if coloured safforn/ KESARIA again  , that will be a stamp of clear sign by people to go ahead with  BJP -Manifesto. BJP will take on hand in hurry , issue of CIVIL CODE and FAMILY PLANNING. That will make opposition more confused and
directionless. Leaderless Congress , will fail to coordinate opposition and will go one step ahead to abolish Congress as a political party. ( forget about main opposition leader).

Pakistan reaction about CAB will not help Congress but will strengthen BJP. Imrankhan and his ministers reaction to oppose CAB will sift attention of Pakistani public from local and economical issues to adore and confirm Pakistan drifting toward hardcore Islamic State ( to pamper Public) but it will become weak on  International ground as a state.( Labour Party’s weakest performance in UK election, in last some decades shows that the party has to pay heavy price for supporting Pakistan in J&K issues.)

This is the long term agenda of BJP and NDA to make Pakistan weak and compel Pakistani public to contemplate, what they have achieved by asking for ISLAMIC state !! This will pave way of reconciliation though among People of India and Pakistan. In other words idea of AKHAND BHARAT will be coined as it is wished by the strongest political party in India and by many Intellectual Pakistanis ,who still say that they are HINDUSTANI, by birth and not compromising themselves to identify as Pakistani.

Thus BJP is in hurry, Opposition is confused , Pakistan is with BJP knowingly or unknowing assisting BJP. Indian Muslims are in  thought churning and gradually sifting toward BJP. Thus all will end in happy end for BJP as in fairy tales.

                                    SHIV SENA adamant for SUICIDAL ATTEMPT
The chorus in Maharashtra state has reached to its fag end now. Today Governor has asked to NCP to come with magic figure if wants to form Government
During these 17 days , role of Shiv Sena was almost like a villain. The political party has performed poorly in comparison of BJP. SENA claims that BJP got 106 seats because of SENA. But fact is reverse to that. SENA performed poorly and realized that now Hindu Card is hijacked by BJP. Now to survive as a force sena must have muscle power backed by appointment of CM. It remain without CM for many years and now cannot afford to stay as younger Brother of BJP. What status sena was enjoying in BALAJI THAKREY time is now history. The spat between cousins has make the party weak and after many stalwarts left party make it to survive on hindutva card. Now BJP has not only charmed with HINDUTVA CARD but also come up with many others development cards. 370 and scrapping of TRIPLE TALAQ have given soft corner in Muslims community hearts. Now BJP is not talking about any RELIGION but of SAB KA VIKAS. Lowering of Corporate Tax has been considered as sure shot. The gossip of lowering of personal tax will again give height to BJP. ( if it materialize) .Aprat from these their are results appearing of work done in last 5 years..BJP is acting fast in determined way to solve the issues it promised in MENIFESTO.
RAM MANDIR issue is now behind and the allegation by Congress, SP, BSP and others that BJP is not interested in solving RAM MANDIR ISSUE as it is BJP's bread and Butter at time of election. Now all that parties will eat dust.
Finally the way Terrorists have been controlled in J&K and in other states (and MAO VAD ) gives extra marks to BJP.
In some-total SENA is seating in rare seat in a bus that BJP is driving.That gives frustration to SENA as its political identity is damping gradually.
For a moment , let us consider that BJP had given promise before election to be 50/50 in State Govt. to SENA. But looking at the result and verdict by people , it is not in favour of SENA. Thus remaining adamant for CM is suicidal attempt for SHIV SENA. After that claiming openly that whatever may come SENA will not budge from CM seat. This shows sheer baseless arrogance of SENA.
Secondly to talk with NCP and Congress to form state government shows that base of HIndutva of SENA has been almost gone. HINDUTVA ideology is soul of the party.Openly threatening to grab CM post shows immaturity of SENA. When three parties NCP, Congress and SENA all three have almost equal seats , then their must be some base for accord and minimum agreed program for the government.
Now SENA has almost purchased SPAT with BJP. The rift is now appears non repairable ( though in politics nothing can be claimed ) Now suppose if it again seat with BJP , its political image will be damaged unrepeatablly.
Now Governer has asked NCP to come with formula to form Government as SENA failed to produce supporting letter from other parties.IF NCP will come up with formula of its own CM then how SENA will react ? Thus SENA is heading toward suicidal attempt and it has started running toward it very fast. It has lost its ideology on which it was surviving till now . No BALLJI THAKREY like leader is their , how can make it again great party. Uddhav Thakray is in infant stage of political life. Another point need to be noted here is, now Indian Voters are not ready to accept family based politics. This may go against Uddhav Thakray.
Finally, if President Rule will be imposed and after six months again Maharastra will go to poll , all parties will face burns for pushing the state to poll ( except BJP) as no party was ready to give support to BJP . The most gutted party will be SENA. after NCP/ Congress. Now BJP will come as stronger hindutva party as Ram Mandir issue is solved. Thus in short term BJP may loose ( if NCP will form Govt. ) but in long term BJP will win
