A White Paper on Public Palika

Public Palika is a civic innovation framework that seeks to address systemic corruption and economic inefficiency in India’s democratic model—not by replacing existing structures, but by augmenting them through economic decentralization and participatory budgeting. It proposes a fourth functional pillar of democracy rooted in community representation and fiscal accountability. Anchored in the philosophy of Lifeconomics (developed by independent researcher Sukant Kumar), the Public Palika model introduces a bottom-up economic governance system operating in parallel with the legislative, executive, and judicial pillars.

PuPa Model

Public Palika is non destructive organisational structure not to replace the already established Democratic Model in practice, but to aid it econonically. One of the centric problem with existing structure is the widely accepted phenomenon of CORRUPTION. Public Palika intends to systematically address this challege. It is an outcome of an independent researcher — Sukant Kumar. Sukant’s research began with an hypothesis, he calls — Lifeconomics. (For more details, visit — https://sukantkumar.com/lifeconomics)

बहुत हुआ लोकतंत्र, अब लोगतंत्र की बारी!

जब रविश कुमार ने अपने विशेष संवाद में बंगाल में फैल रही धार्मिक हिंसा को केंद्र सरकार द्वारा प्रायोजित राजनीतिक अस्थिरता बताया, तो उस रिपोर्ट का अंतिम वाक्य — "सत्यानाश आ रहा है, इसे कोई नहीं रोक सकता।" — किसी शास्त्रीय त्रासदी की तरह गूंजता रहा। उसी क्षण, उस मौन में, एक आवाज उठी — "मैं रोकेगा, कोई मेरी बात सुन तो लो।"

छलांग

बहुत दिनों से मैंने कोई नई किताब या मूवी नहीं देखी। पिछली मूवी पुष्पा-२ देखी थी। कभी निराशा हुई। जिस तरह के प्रोपेगेंडा साहित्य से आज समाज घिरा है, शोर्ट वीडियो के जमाने में तीन घंटा निकाल पाना भी आज कहाँ संभव है? हद तो तब हो जाती है, जब चलचित्र देखकर जवानी सड़कों पर नंगा नाच करती नजर आती है। डर लगता है, कहाँ हैं वे स्वप्नकार जो हमारे बच्चों के साथ न्याय कर सकें?

संवेदना से संवाद तक

I just woke up from the most catastrophic dream. I was inside a train, there came a boy to sell something outside the window. We shared an exchange of sight. Then, I saw him running away from track towards road, he met with an accident with a racing bike. Then I saw an airplane drop like a comet from sky, right where this accident happened. There was one another train going in opposite direction to the one I was on board. As my train started crawling, I saw the airplane race towards that train. From a distance I saw the airplane sliding towards that train. I saw it derail the entire train. Some boggy toppled on right and some on left. I cried that thousands of life would have been lost.

एक आदर्श कल्पना

चलिए! एक पल के लिए ही सही हम ख़ुद को आदर्शवादी मान लेते हैं। क्या होता है आदर्श? किसी वस्तु, व्यक्ति या परिस्थिति का एक ऐसा स्वरूप जिसे हम पूर्णतः वांछित मान सकें, आदर्श है। हमारी कल्पनाओं और अवधारणाओं की पराकाष्ठा — आदर्श है। हर समाज में इसी आदर्श को स्थापित कर मूर्त रूप देने के मंथन में ना जाने कितनी कहानियाँ निकलती हैं, थोड़ा विष, थोड़ा अमृत लिए यह प्रयास निरंतर व्यक्ति के माध्यम से समाज में चलता ही जाता है।

Not a Beginning, but a Becoming

Nothing grows in constant sunlight. After months of reflection and preparation, I now step into the foundational phase of a five-month blueprint that will culminate on 1st September 2025—my father's birthday—in a public launch of ideas that have lived within me for years. These projects are not campaigns. They are not startups. They are philosophical infrastructures of a life I have chosen to live deliberately—outside the mainstream, but within the fabric of society.

Grok Vs Gyanarth

I have an anticipation that new war will kill more civilians than soldier. Satellites can be directly used in association with AI to target specific geopolitical locations. Threats are greater than ever, stakes are high. This machinery can be used by state and terrorists alike. My estimation in new wars terrorist shall play minor role. What do you think?

Lost Beauty

A doctor listens to pain of his patient who is ever testing good patience. What’s satisfying is the sense of care and well being, which is rather hard to imagine. An engineer builds new tools that can empower human to dance and be merry. But lost in offices engineers have adopted a system so mechanical that they themselves are nothing more than cogs & nuts.

Dance? Destroy? Create?

Dance class: This one I think belongs to actors, artists, authors or someone who has an occupation. An occupation is something that occupies spatiotemporal activities of an economical entity.  Destroy class: These are the servant class, the bureaucrats, even soldiers belong to this class. Their primary job of to obey the orders imposed upon them. They are the one’s who are entrusted to either destroy or prevent the destruction. Even terrorists belong here. Create class: This is where majority population works, the farmers, labourers, educationists, reporters etc. These are jobs that hold respect and other aspects of social belonging together.  None of these are better or worse. They are just there for their sheer necessity. Critically analyse this argument.
