Name of Our Nation

In the very 1st article of the Constitution, the name of our nation is mentioned as 'India, that is Bharat'. But in some official documents issued by the government, the name is mentioned as 'The Union of India'. In some other official documents issued by the government, the name is mentioned as 'Republic of India'. Such inconsistency should be brought to an end on the priority basis.
 

Why is the name of our nation still India, which was assigned by the former British rulers, even after 70 years of independence ? We have changed the names of some of our cities like Bombay to Mumbai, Madras to Chennai, Calcutta to Kolkata. But when shall we change from India to Bhaarat (भारत) ? I have purposely spelled 'aa' so to differentiate from a person's name with single 'a', i.e. Bharat (भरत). We even see that the names of our High Courts continue to be named after the old names of cities, even if the names of respective cities were changed many years ago. I suggest that all such names be changed. 

 

भारतीय स्वातंत्र्याचा अमृत महोत्सव साजरा करण्याच्या निमित्ताने असे नामांतर पूर्ण केले जावे अशी अपेक्षा आहे.  

आजादी का अमृत महोत्सव के अवसर पर ऐसे नामांतर पूरे किये जाए यह अपेक्षा है.

Uniform Civil Code

The controversy over this topic arises because it is generally correlated to the religious matters. But it need not be so. I suggest for introducing two separate statutes as follows, for moving one step further in that direction. (1) Family Affairs Recognition Act -- This statue should cover the matters related to registration of birth, death, marriage, divorce, child adoption, support to minor children, disowning of children (minor and adult, both), inherence of the family property, live in relationships, nomination, etc. This statute should be uniformly applicable to all persons, irrespective of the caste, religion, language, race etc. The rules related to family planning also should be uniformly applicable to all. All other existing statues on these matters should be repealed. The religious rituals should be obviously kept out the scope of this statute. (2) Religious Bodies Regulation Act -- This statue should cover the matters related to registration of the religious bodies, their ...

A New Standard for Doing Town Planning and Its Evaluation -- Daily to and from commuting over long distance is non-productive. It causes waste of time, waste of fuel, forces the people to spend more money and results in the fatigue for the people. There is a way, for avoiding this situation.

National Logistics Policy

One of the appreciable developments in the recent period is the publication of National Logistics Policy or NLP in short form. It was published / declared on 17th September 2022. A concept of Global Logistics Hub also is introduced in that policy. With this remarkable one forward step, India needs one more policy as National Manufacturing Policy (NMP). Without this policy, the logistics policy is more likely to result into transportation and distribution of imported goods into India. The transportation infrastructure should be utilized more for promoting the exports of Made in India goods. I hope that the said NMP also will be formulated and declared in near future. .
