These notings are from my different books, which I read during 1977-82 for my studies. What I understood of that subject was noted at the end of Book. Many books and notings are lost, but a few notings are torn and kept with me.
The same are reproduced here.
History.
History reveals that every system while growing accumulates seeds of destruction. It may be due to the fact that "All pervasive social system, which can accommodate all natural laws , instincts & desires, is yet a dream". And so system gives us means to live present only. When future turns to present , new system must come up to fulfill the need of new present.
That is why in spite of different characters of different Viceroys, British History can be summed up under one sentence, " (Alternate)Waves for expansion/ consolidation, forward/ neutral policies, one following the other.
This explains why Gandhi , a true orientalist was succeeded by Neharu a Westernised by any standard.

Economic Theory.
You can criticise any organisation ( for economic help) from top World Bank to lowest Primary Co-operative Socity that
1. Its resources are inadequate against need ( As study of economics is study of scarcity of resourecs).
2. Its resourecs are not used properly ( As there will be never unanimous view among different interest groups ,seeking help, on priority). Semueston on difficulty of "proper signal of purpose by socity" in public ependiture.
3. Its benefit were largly cornerened by big units or by those who had already big resources at possession and small needy are by passed. Small and big can be defined , in different context. For Primary socity , small can be land less labourer and big land lord. For World Bank, small is a African Country and big/ resorceful a European country.
As always, small are either not fully aware of opportunity or unable to match required supplemental points for using resources of organisation, while big has both positive points.

Indian Economy
To be brief, Indian economics should / must follow following lines in that order for next 20 years
1. Making agriculture a commercial & perenial activity. ( Absorbing a large no. of disguiesd unemployement).
2. Creating non-agriculture oppertunities at village level. (Absorbing surplus labour from agriculture)
3. Starting consumer industries (To cater the demand arising out of point 1 & 2)
4. Erecting capital & basic industries (To make point 1,2 & 3 possible)
Any other course or change in order of points will be counter productive and will and to our difficulties).

(After 20 years we see result of not following above lines. Share of Ag. in GDP is down, but percentage of persons dependent on Ag has not gone down, resulting in widening gap between Bharat and India including sucide by farmers.

Scince and Technology.
Average indian is disillusioned with Scince & Technology and what relevence ( or benefit) it has with (given to) society.
While discussing the relevance of Scince we forget that there is nothing like relevence in Scince: In scince , and many useful scintific discovery/ invention were not sought (like X Rays) or there importance was not relised at the time of dicovery ( relativity).
Of course "relevent" is relevent in case of technology and technology being connected with industry (industry to profit and profit to society) , it can never be irrelevent.
When we blame S & T for some of our problem, like getting "wrong phone number", we acccuse in wrong direction, such problems are managerial not technological.

Pyschology
I am indebted to this Book for clearly differentiating Love ( an act of belonging), sex (biological want) and marriage (social bondage out of security need).
It has helped me in not mixing love-sex or love -marriege concept, which socially seems one and the same . Concepts in separable.

Civics/ Politics/ Constitution.
This writing was done on a book of Constitution but no longer available with me in origin. The same is reproduced by memory and some updates are also given.
India, as republic (people are rular) is new concept for us. We are feudal by mind set where rular is rular and people are subjects.
So many powerful CMs( in syndicate) selects weak PM Indira Gandhi. This weak PM defeats official candidate of her own party and gets elected V V Giri as president. Later many CMs are appointed by High Command. Circle/ Cycle is complete. At one stage "Indira is India and India is Indira" a slogan give by Barua reflects the reality of time.
Further, though there is no provision of changing state govts. on Parliament elections but, Janata Party as well as Congress both did this unconstitutional thing in the name of public wish.
So our set is feudal under the banner of republic.
Some time in 1980-81.
Up dates.
Realising the decreasing controll over memebrs , anti defection bill is brought in by parties to increase the controll. But result is opposite of what was intended. Every ambitious leader floated his own party, and with his / her 1-2-3 memebrs in parliament forces big parties (congress/BJP)to bend on kness /backward . It is given a good name Coalation Dharma. PM has no controll over minister collegue. There is no collective responsibility, every minister takes position according to his/her own party line.
Some one opposes Sonia Gandhi as PM on ground of foreign origin. She makes great sacrfice, declines PMship, but creates National Advisory Council, becomes its chair person a super cabinet and super Prime Minister. All power with no accountability.
All this was common in politics and so while releasing Anderson (of uninon carbide) Arjun Singh's Trust receives donation is no news.
But it seems last hope of republic is also crumbling and a perception is growing that SC Chief Justice might have been influnced by future prospects ( Becoming a Chief trustee to a Trust for Bhopal Gas Victims) while prouncncing verdict on cases related to Bhopal Gas Tragdy.
This difference, what is written what is realty is not restricted to politics, but a realty of every organisation. To survive and prosper you must know , accept and adjust to this. Else only frustration and delusion is your fate. You may get Megassy Award, but you are unfit as Delhi Police Chief. You must resign.
