Maulana Madani speaks about economic freedom quoting names of Maulana Husain Ahmad Madani, Mahatma Gandhi, Khudiram Bose and other stalwarts. The backdrop of those perspectives of yesteryears were different. Today's realities and policy priorities are quite different.
1. ARAYNAKARAN: Agri land expansion in India has come mostly at the expense of forests. 90% of Indian forests have been destroyed. Agri lands have to be HALVED and not expanded.
2. SHAHARIKARAN: Development entails migrating people from low productivity toil to ones fetching higher value realisation. This alone can provide economic freedom.
3. ADHUNIKARAN: Changes in community and social values in tune with Constitutional ideals and scientific temper such that diverse communities can converge to live amicably in urban setting.
This national transformation of societal structure is highly disruptive change. It is best served in political aspects by democratic law and in economic aspects by free market economy, for which even the leftists parties have now reconciled.
There is consensus on market mechanism for economic freedom and political differences emanate from addressing diverse social and community needs.
The social aspects of disruptive national transformation have found no reconcilation and political processes have become violence prone.
