Good morning. I tried recording the script with satisfactory results. However, I need to improvise before final release. I need to hone up my oration to make the desired impact. The motive behind this creation is to distribute the idea of Public Palika for open discussion particularly within the academics. According to me it is an economic solution to the present crisis India and Indians are facing. I want to make one more episode before I take the Idea to public. In the first episode I tried to introduce myself as a researcher, hinting upon my qualifications to gain the confidence of our audience. Here is a framework of this conceptual unit.

First hypothesis: 

India is stuck in the medieval mindset of western civilisation. In medieval ages the western society was facing a socio-political crisis centred around the religious aspects. We see crusades, and other socio-political disturbances. Descartes is said to be the father of modern western philosophy. His main focus was on reason governing the faith to surrender to wisdom. This proceeds to formation of Vienna Circle, a centre where intellectuals of that age gathered to herald the age of reason in around the same time world war 2 was upon humanity. Today, India is in midst of a religious struggle. On one hand we have a call for Hindu Rashtra, which has lead to violence in various part of country targeting minorities. We can witness the social malice of witch hunting. Atrocities against the weak and marginalised are dominant. Neither woman are safe, nor are students or farmers. We have seen open attacks on our constitution in past decade under Modi government which is now more evident than before. The most important intellectual impact of logical positivism was acceptance of verdicts of metaphysical enquiry as final and complete. This helped in segregation of the political institution and religious wings. This also led to age of enlightenment, which managed to distribute economy as arts, crafts, literature along with progress of science and manufacturing which was also heightened by the impact of world wars. This in turn would not have been possible without a century long advent of Industrial Revolution. Information revolution was based on the industrial one. However, in those centuries India was under foreign rule. The age of renaissance was not evenly distributed amongst the Indian masses. Then came 90's decade which witnessed the LPG reforms in India, after which a close economy was not feasible. We were open to the world. According to my calculations the rise of AI and ML can be seen as a movement towards what can be called the apex of Information Revolution, we are ready to enter the Knowledge Economy. Ideally, in this age the machines should get capable enough to manage the chores of Human needs. We already have computer, washing machines, and good enough gadgets to make our life easy. When men is free of the needs of essential triad, it moves on to meet the needs of existential triads. Here, demands of health and education take over that of food, sex, and dangers. Then we have ever present eternal needs to tame mind and evoke a desire to know the truth. In this phase of societal evolution we find human's thirst is expressed via art & literature, which the takes the next step in movement towards scientific temperament. However, we find an India a politics focused directly on the eternal needs of our being, which is an attempt to bypass the misery by magic. This attitude has no parallel of success as far I have explored in History.

Second Hypothesis: 

To see the desired results in our social condition we need an economic solution. Because while I was busy with my research I found that whatever maybe the problem, the solution needs to be an economic one. With respect to Indian history since Independence I have found that the trickle down economic model placed by the pioneers of Indian Democracy is still in practice. The education system is so old that it has been stagnant for the decade of LPG reforms, and internet era. However, since the advent of Smart Technologies it is outdated as well as outmoded. Educational institutions are decaying with every passing decade. I have been living in close proximity of educational infrastructure by birth. With two teachers at home, and a professor colony as neighbourhood. I have privileged to be raised amongst the best of the crowd. I have found it degrading and decaying. But, the issue is not just educational, as the system in place is under socio-political influence. I have found that in places where we have good education, as for example in South India, the art and culture keeps on flourishing and thus having a positive impact on the polity of the land, which is nothing but the guardian of economy. Economy is the replication of the energy, money is a symbolic representation of the energy. By the law of conservation of energy, it can neither be created, nor be destroyed. This must be applicable on economics as well, and also to money, it cannot be created at will. If it would have been just a piece of paper, we would have easily managed to print more. But, as we already know we can't. Theoretically one can get rich only at the risk of poverty of others. So, ideally we need to distribute the economy in a manner that benefits all. But, in any scared social setup we cannot afford to be lenient. So, we need law and order, which has been failing us for generations. 

Third Hypothesis: 

Here I envisage Public Palika as a solution. I intend to explain this as an economic one, an attempt to reverse the economic as well as budgeting infrastructures. Let's try to understand this solution as a simulation. We shall try to make as little change in the already existing institutions of our democracy, and the provisions that it already entrusts upon us. Let's make a very small change — instead of paying our income taxes directly to the central government we start paying it to our local government. Panchayati Raaj has been the dream of our masters and gods alike, the notion of Ramrajya is an economical desire. Now, when the local government has enough funds it will be free to focus on essentials, food, health and education can be entrusted to local governance. However, this may lead to lopsided growth. So, we still need a strong centre for policy making. Still the corporate and other taxes flows to it, and we also have States in between. Let's overhaul the centre, state and concurrent list of responsibilities of this units. We can have a balancing mechanism as well. Let me explain, now a village or district unit of Public Palika is liable to pay taxes to the State above a certain threshold as decided democratically. Metropolitans shall contribute more than a village in remote area, where other economical activities are limited. Thus, state can be a redistribution agent, as will be centre. As a welfare state we need to endure that mandatory health and education services are available in remotest of Human settlement with a hierarchy of improved facilities at state and national level. 

Fourth Hypothesis: 

According to my estimate, this will need an educational reform. Why can't we focus on democratisation of education. We already have some success stories, like the efforts made under NCERT, NPTEL, IGNOU etc. We can create repositories of audio-visual content to teach various skills to the aspirants. But, this must be kept in mind that only virtual education will not be sufficient, we need to have physical educational institutions in place for as long as humanity remains on this planet in its current stage of evolution. More mutations may change the needs and demands. We may be strong enough to deal with them. With all our efforts we can't have a perfect world for all, we must thrive for a satisfysing solution, as already mentioned in works on Herbert Simon, I guess. Anyways, with educational content already available in public domain accessible to all and one, with a smart device we may be ready to another phase of educational reforms, where we teach more and test less. Instead of students being exposed of limited disciplines of knowledge particularly at higher level of education they may select their own fields of enquiries and enough provisions to research and explore at the mercy of Public Palika. Take for example, Public Palika has another wing in books publication from local to global level. An author like me can submit their work to this body at local level to be reviewed by other students and teachers of this neighbourhood, upon their comments and reviews any piece of literature can reach its desired target audience at global level. This system can also be used in political landscape, where anyone can become a leader based on the thoughts one propound. The job market will get loosened overtime to be replaced by occupation of an individual. We already have success stories of random YouTubers and other creators of their field. 

Can't this magic be understood and systemised to be replicated as and when needed?
