BJP WILL AGAIN COME TO POWER IN 2019 WITH INC BEING THE SECOND LARGEST PARTY !!!

Arindam: 'Hello ! Everyone ! You are watching your favourite show, "WINE WITH ARINDAM" in your favourite Royal Indian Tigers Association i.e. RITA TV Channel. Today, we have invited in our show, Shri Raghuveer Rajvanshi, the Senior Researcher of a reputed firm, Mr. Shri Chandragupta Chaturvedi, the ex-serviceman as well as strategic analyst and Shrimati Janaki Jalan, the Senior Editor of a reputed media house. Welcome everyone to our show. Please be seated. We have for you, the Red Wine with Posto Bada, Phoolkafi Pakora, Lamb Seekh Kebab and Gol Gomaj bread. Enjoy it.

Chandragupta: 'This bread is prepared from dates, quite sweet, but, tastes good with this lamb meat kebab. 

Janaki: 'I love Phoolkafi Pakoda, but, I am eating this Posto Bada for the first time. Quite tasty ! So, what's the topic tonight ?

Arindam: 'Raghuveer ji, please provide us the data of your online survey regarding the  upcoming Lok Sabha Election of 2019.

Raghuveer: 'In the upcoming Lok Sabha Election of 2019, BJP may alone get 285 seats and INC may get 108 seats. But, BJP + NDA may get 304 seats and INC + UPA may get 123 seats. The 'OTHERS' may get 116 seats.

Janaki: 'The trend is clearly indicating that it will be a full fledged bipolar battle of BJP Vs INC.'

Arindam: 'Is it good or bad for Indian democracy ?'

Chandragupta: 'Of course ! It is a good sign. In national politics, you need national parties to compete with each other strongly rather than regional parties to create chaos, confusions in the name of coalitions. Voters in many regions are fed up of some regional parties. When it comes to rapid development, it is only the national parties who can really speed up any development process in an efficient manner. 

Arindam: 'Is Rahul Gandhi becoming more matured to compete with Narendra Modi ?'

Janaki: 'Rahul Gandhi is still immature as already he wasted his valuable time in Rafael Deal where there was nothing wrong in it. Now, if INC fights the battle in all the states alone, then only INC may cross the 100 seats mark, otherwise not. Whenever INC ties up with any regional party, BJP gets some of the votes of those regional party supporters who are always angry on INC. Narendra Modi is a senior citizen, but, he supports latest technologies, ease of entrepreneurship, cashless apps or wallets, digitization of each and every process, FDI and he is improving business relationships with other nations with some long term projects tie-ups. 

Arindam: 'What about the big defaulters ?'

Raghuveer: 'Assume that you are the King of a Kingdom and you have a Bank in your Kingdom which keeps the funds of defaulters of other Kingdoms in a very secured manner. Will you easily let those customers and their funds to go out from the Bank of your Kingdom ?'

Arindam: 'Yes, that's a problem ! Europeans love Indian defaulters, it seems ! But, I am surprised with the opinion poll result. Everyone said that BJP may just be nearer to 272 mark. Even the number of seats of INC in this opinion poll result is far better than it was actually expected.'

Chandragupta: 'In the recent Assembly Election results of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chattishgarh, Telengana and Mizoram, you will observe that the regional parties have got no importance at all. The anti-BJP votes are clearly going to another national party. In Telengana, had INC fought alone, it could have been a different battle. INC must fight alone now to grab more seats than it is expected. The anti-incumbency is everywhere now. People are learning it from Kerala and Rajasthan. After every 5 years, just change existing government to bring rapid development. BJP will grab the seats of regional parties and INC will grab the seats of BJP. In the process, INC is the gainer, regional parties are the loser and BJP remains more or less in the same position. 

Janaki: 'Narendra Modi may have faced several criticisms as a Prime Minister, but, when it comes to comparison as a leader against Raul Gandhi, the Narendra Modi is still the most feasible choice as a Prime Minister for a majority of the Indians.'

Arindam: 'What's in an Educational Qualification, when there is no pass or fail system till Class VIII ! Are they all legendary genius like Albert Einstein or Rabindranath Tagore ! Are they mixing Arts, Finance and Science together to bring Innovation by using all the quality Information ! Only the time will tell. In which states, BJP is going to lose their seats and where actually, they will gain ?'

Raghuveer: 'BJP may lose seats in Chattishgarh (6 seats), Gujarat (3 seats), Karnataka (3 seats), Madhya Pradesh (4 seats), Maharashtra (4 seats), Rajasthan (5 seats). So, BJP may lose 25 seats which were in their control.'

Chandragupta: 'This tally may go up to 32 also.'

Arindam: 'Ok ! Ok ! Raghuveer ji, please carry on.'

Raghuveer: 'BJP may gain new seats in Andhra Pradesh (2 seats), Assam (3 seats),  Bihar (2 seats), Kerala (1 seat), Odisha (5 seats), Punjab (2 seats), Tamil Nadu (4 seats), Telengana (1 seat), Tripura (2 seats), West Bengal (6 seats). Hence, BJP may gain fresh 28 seats.'

Janaki: 'Basically, whatever BJP is losing in  Western India, they are gaining it from Eastern India.'

Arindam: 'Therefore, "BJP WILL AGAIN COME TO POWER IN 2019 WITH INC BEING THE SECOND LARGEST PARTY." Thanks to all of you for coming to our studio. Viewers ! See you again next time. Be happy. Live and let live. Goodbye for the time being.'

WHICH FOOTBALL TEAM WILL LIFT THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

Arindam: 'Hello ! Everyone ! Today is 1st June 2018. Just a few days left. Are you all ready to have a fantastic football fever ! Yeah ! All the football fans around the world really are. You are watching your favorite show, “WINE WITH ARINDAM” on Royal Bengal Tiger Association (RITA) Channel. Today, we have in our studio, Mr. Gopinath Goldar (A famous footballer as well as coach of an Under-19 football coaching Center in Esplanade area of Kolkata), Mr. Birendranath Bhaduri (A Sports Editor of a reputed Media and Newspaper Company), and Miss Mayurakshi Maurya (A fan of Mohun Bagan Club as well as the owner of a newly formed football Coaching Center only for Girls in Kolkata). Welcome everyone. Thanks for coming to our show. Have a seat and enjoy Russian Blini pancakes, Hilsha pakora, Masala Kucho Chingri Bhajha and the world famous Gregorian Red Wine imported from Moscow last year. 

Gopinath Goldar: 'Old wine tastes good. Thanks for giving us a chance to taste the Gregorian Wine. It is world famous indeed. There are only two wine shops in Kolkata which keeps imported Wines of Europe. 

Mayurakshi Maurya: 'Even the blini pancakes are good. Something different !

Arindam: 'Thanks for the compliments ! By the way, which team is going to win the FIFA World Cup of 2018 ? Let us analyze it in details. 

Birendranath Bhaduri: 'Bhai ! Jatoi tumi Russian pancake khaowao, Hilsha pakora aar Chingri bhaja taai bhalo khete hoyeche. Bengali food and Bengali football always rocks ! Anyway ! Let me tell you my prediction. From Group A, Uruguay and Russia will qualify. From Group B, Portugal and Spain will qualify. From Group C, France and Australia will qualify. From Group D, Argentina and Nigeria will qualify. From Group E, Brazil and Switzerland will qualify. From Group F, Germany and South Korea will qualify. From Group G, England and Belgium will qualify. From Group H, Japan and Senegal will qualify. 

Arindam: 'Maybe, somehow, you have underestimated Colombia, Denmark, Mexico and Croatia. Even they can qualify. Ok ! Now, let us go to the Round of 16 Prediction. 

Gopinath Goldar: 'France will beat Nigeria. Spain will beat Uruguay. Portugal will beat Russia and Argentina will beat Australia. 

Arindam: 'Aah ! We are really missing good teams like Netherlands and Italy in this World Cup to make it more competitive in the Round of 16. So, madam ! Which teams will win in the Quarter Finals from here on.

Mayurakshi Maurya: 'Spain, despite not in a good form will beat France. Brazil Vs England will be a very competitive one, but, still, Brazil will win. Germany will easily beat Japan. Argentina Vs Portugal will be a very interesting match. It will be actually Lionel Messi Vs Christiano Ronaldo. But, I think, if Lionel Messi gets good support from his teammates, then Argentina can beat Portugal in the Quarter Final. 

Arindam: See ! There is no guarantee that France and England will not win. Even Portugal may win too. Maybe, you are too supportive towards Latin American teams. Anyway, these are all predictions. Now, which teams will play the World Cup Final ?

Birendranath Bhaduri : 'As per our prediction in this studio today, Brazil Vs Spain will be the first Semi Final. Brazil will beat Spain. In the 2nd Semi Final, it is Argentina Vs Germany. Germany has the advantage, but, considering the recent forms of some Argentinian footballers along with Lionel Messi, Argentina may reach the Final. Let's see. 

Gopinath Goldar: 'No ! No ! Germany will reach the final. Even, Brazil may lose against Spain. The World Cup of 2018 will go to Europe. 

Arindam: 'Ha ha ha... Well ! Whether the World Cup will go to South America or Europe, this debate is always there in each and every FIFA World Cup. That's the flavour of this fantastic football fever. Ok ! If for a few minutes, if I assume that Brazil Vs Argentina will be the final match, then 'WHICH FOOTBALL TEAM WILL LIFT THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018'? 

Mayurakshi Maurya: 'Of course ! Argentina ! What Diego Maradona did for Argentina, now Lionel Messi will do it for Argentina !'

Birendranath Bhaduri: 'Naa ! Naa ! Oto taao sojaa noy ! Hoy Brazil baa Germany ee World Cup paabe.'

Gopinath Goldar: 'Guru ! Germany ke tahole consider karcho.'

Birendranath Bhaduri: 'Germany is not your East Bengal Club. It is Germany team only. You guys are blind fans of Germany. But, maybe, we are surely underestimating Portugal as well as England. They can also surprise everyone. We, the Bengali football fans love to see the skillful game of Brazil. So, by default, we always keep Brazil as a team to win the World Cup.'

Arindam: 'Ok ! So, the hot contenders are Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Portugal and maybe, England, France and Spain. The football fever has started. Let us see who wins this FIFA World Cup of 2018. Thanks to all of you for coming to our studio and sharing your predictions about the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Viewers ! See you again. Take care, be happy and enjoy the FIFA World Cup Football of 2018. Goodbye !

SAFFRON STORM MAY COME AGAIN; AND THIS TIME IN THE LOK SABHA ELECTION - 2019 RESULTS !!!

Arindam:'Hello! Viewers! You are watching your favourite show, “WINE WITH ARINDAM” at a new branded TV Channel, Royal Indian Tigers Association(RITA) Channel. Today, we have invited in our show, Mr. Chiraunjilal Chaurasia(Statistician cum Researcher of National Election Commission); Mr. Srihari Sridharan(Senior Politics Editor of a reputed Media Company) and Shrimati Priyadarshini Panigrahi(Professor and Researcher of Political Science of a reputed University). Welcome everyone. Thanks for coming to the show. Please be seated. We have served Navratan Pulao, Kaankra Malai Curry, Tandoori Soyabean Chunks and Kaccha Aam-Pudina Chaatney. Along with that, we also have French Red Wine.'

Srihari Sridharan:'Oh! This Kaankra Malai Curry tastes really good. A dish, I never ate before.'


Arindam:'Thank you, Sir! Sir, what is your feedback regarding the recently concluded Panchayat Election in Bangabhoomi and the Assembly Election in Karnataka.'


Srihari Sridharan:'In both the states, one thing is common, that is, the improvement of BJP's performance. But, in Karnataka, BJP is unlucky. JDS could have gone with BJP to negotiate with NDA to get at least one ministry post for JDS in the Central Cabinet Ministry. Anyway, JDS gave some fresh air to INC to breathe. In Bangabhoomi, too much violence spoiled the show. It was expected that TMC will do better, but, due to some wrong strategies of TMC, we are seeing a trend where the young generation people of Bangabhoomi are getting inclined towards BJP.'


Arindam:'Many people are saying that some of the votes of INC and Left Front are also going towards BJP.'


Chiraunjilal Chaurasia:'If we analyze the current trends in some districts of Bangabhoomi, where INC had a strong hold, in those places itself, around 10% of Muslim votes came towards BJP. Even in Uttar Pradesh Assembly Election, around 15% of Muslim votes came towards BJP as BJP was campaigning against Triple Talaq system. In Gujarat also, urban Muslim voters voted for BJP, whereas the Patel Community i.e. Hindu voters of rural areas voted against BJP. In Karnataka, BJP also snatched some Muslim votes in the areas where INC were always too strong. So, the image of BJP is slightly changing now. It is now not a “Hindutva Hardliner” party, but, a party of “DOOR-TO-DOOR DEVELOPMENT”'.


Priyadarshini Panigrahi:'But, some of their strategies are always criticized. Be it demonetization, be it GST implementation. And even, the Lalit Modi, Vijay Malia and Nirav Modi cases have been criticized strongly. Recently, the petrol and diesel hike is also creating a problem. The INC is surely trying to capitalize on these issues.'


Arindam:'There has to be pros and cons in each political party. But, yes, the petrol and diesel prices to be controlled to maintain an equilibrium in the pyramid of Indian economy. But, still, how strong is the Third Front as well as INC to give a tough fight to BJP?'


Srihari Sridharan:'INC should have looked for a new leader, instead of sticking to the Gandhi dynasty. Say, if in the Lok Sabha Election of 2014, had it been a battle of Pranab Mukherjee Vs Narendra Modi, the INC would have given a tough competition to BJP. But, Sonia Gandhi played a game and Pranab Mukherjee became the President of India. Therefore, within INC, there remained no other top political leader to compete with Rahul Gandhi. Automatically, Rahul Gandhi became the No. 1 leader of INC. But, frankly speaking, the Rahul Gandhi's image and the history associated with the Gandhi family are the reasons why before any major election, many supporters of INC cast their vote to BJP out of anger and frustration on Gandhi family.


Arindam:'Leadership does matter. Also, how you speak! How modern your psychology is! Narendra Modi maybe much elder than Rahul Gandhi. But, Narendra Modi is a good orator, leader and has a charisma to attract people towards him. Side by side, an old man is too much supportive towards modernization of technologies and'Digital India' Mission. Rahul Gandhi is still too inexperienced. INC can never come back strongly to Indian Politics, unless and until they come out of old and obsolete'Gandhi dynasty leadership' strategy. By the way, at present, who is the best Chief Minister of India?'


Priyadarshini Panigrahi:'Of course, Naveen Patnaik, the Chief Minister of Odisha. This man is bringing rapid development in Odisha without doing any marketing about it. Even, you will hardly hear him talking in front of media channels to do the publicity about developmental works done by Odisha Government under his tenure. BJD may not lose its strong hold in Odisha so easily, but, TMC may lose its ground in Bangabhoomi.'


Arindam:'Only time will tell, who will lose where and how? So, anyway, which team will win the Lok Sabha 2019 Trophy? After all, it is NDA Vs UPA(including the Third Front Alliance).'


Chiraunjilal Chaurasia:'BJP may alone get around at least 285 seats and the NDA may cross 314 seats. BJP is in the driving seat. UPA without the Third Front Alliance may get more seats. So, INC may do a blunder if they make an alliance with the Third Front before the Election. INC may make an alliance with the Third Front after the Poll Results. Say, for example, had there been an INC-JDS alliance before Karnataka Assembly Election, BJP may have got around 130 seats in Karnataka. INC is extremely lucky; that despite the JDS leaders facing so much insults from the INC leaders, the JDS leaders have still accepted INC as their allied party; only for coming to power. But, how long will JDS-INC Government in Karnataka stay; is itself a billion dollar question?'


Sridhar Sridharan:'You are deviating from the main topic. BJP may get around 240 seats alone. Therefore, there is a possibility that the Third Front will become the Kingmaker again to make the UPA(including the Third Front Alliance) Government at the Centre in 2019.'


Priyadarshini Panigrahi:'BJP is losing its vote banks in the Western parts of India. Therefore, BJP's seats tally may get reduced. But, side by side, BJP is gaining its popularity in the Eastern and North-Eastern parts of India due to'Polarization' issue. In Bangabhoomi, people of one community is getting more money and facilities, and the people of the deprived community is voting for BJP. In the North-Eastern states, infiltration from Bangladesh is becoming a major issue. To solve the situation, they badly need a patriotic political party with a Hindutva tagline to deal with the illegal infiltrators from Bangladesh. Moreover, BJP leadership stretched their arms with love to give respect to all the people of Seven North-Eastern states. Nowadays, you will hardly hear any student from the North-Eastern states getting racially abused by any local people of New Delhi.'


Chiraunjilal Chaurasia:'Exactly! You are right. BJP truly kept its promise about the'Look East Policy'. Whatever seats, BJP may lose in the Western parts of India, they will gain more than that from the Eastern parts of India. BJP may have failed to form the Government in Karnataka. But, points to be noted, that, BJP is becoming popular in Karnataka means, it also has some of its impact on other South Indian states too. Overall, the Modi Government may have given some bitter medicines to cure some illness of Indian Economy. Maybe, this Government hardly reduced the prices of petrol and diesel; so as to earn more revenues to provide more LPG subsidies to the poor people of rural India. But, the Modi Government has succeeded in taming terrorists as well as inflation. To some extent, due to digital India campaigns, in urban areas, many people gained confidence in cashless transactions, thereby reducing some expenses for the Indian Government as they have to print lesser number of currency notes nowadays. Hence, Narendra Modi may become the Prime Minister of India for the 2nd time.'


Arindam:'Oh! Wait, let me say some two lines in Hindi, “Bharat ke mahaan lootere hain Vijay Malia, Lalit Modi aur Nirav MODI; phir bhi sab ko saath le ke Bharat ka Vikaash karne ke liye, phir 2019 mein satta mein aa rahe hain Narendra MODI.”'


Priyadarshini Panigrahi:'Baah! Baah! You must start writing poems from now on.


Arindam:'Thanks for the suggestion, though, this suggestion is a very old one. So, after the discussions in this program, we may come to the conclusion that, “SAFFRON STORM MAY COME AGAIN; AND THIS TIME IN THE LOK SABHA ELECTION -2019 RESULTS”. Thank you to all of you for coming here and sharing your personal views or opinions. Viewers, we hope that you have enjoyed this show. Keep on watching our show. See you all later, till then, take care, be happy. Goodbye!'

THE ANCHORED BOAT FULL OF BLACK MONEY, SAILED INTO THE DEEP SEA OF INDIAN ECONOMY DUE TO DEMONETIZATION !!!

Arindam: Hello ! Viewers ! You are watching your favourite show, 'WINE WITH ARINDAM' at your favourite Royal Bengal TV (RBTV) Channel. Today, our hot topic is 'DEMONETIZATION.' We have with us, Mr. Roland Ryan, a renowned Economics professor of a reputed MBA College and a researcher on Economics. Mr. Brijmohan Bhadra, an analyst of Indian Economy and a reputed Senior Editor of a reputed daily newspaper. Mrs. Sulochona Sarbadhikary, a Chief Manager of a reputed PSU Bank. Thanks to all of you for coming to our studio. Please enjoy Bhetki Pathuri, Cauliflower Chilli Cutlet, Posto Bada with a special innovative chaatney known as 'Begun pora chaatney' which is made by mixing green chilli, pudina leaves and smoky burnt brinjal. With these food items, you are not allowed to drink water, but, premium quality Red Wine only. 

Roland: Wow! This Red Wine is nothing new to me. But, all these Bengali food items with this special spicy mixture of burnt brinjal is just awesome. 

Arindam: Was demonetization too spicy for Indian economy ?

Roland: In a hot nation like India, spicy foods are a necessity for the digestive system of humans. But, yes, to some extent, the entire demonetization process could have been more simplified and organized. There was a panic situation all over India on 9/11 of 2016. Bank Staffs were feeling as if they were facing a thunderstorm throughout the day in the office. The entire demonetization process had a huge impact on Indian Economy. 

Arindam: Was it a positive impact or just a negative one only ?

Brijmohan: Some of the cash which got deposited in the Banks during demonetization days were not all black money but emergency funds that the people kept in their house as a backup money. So, in their case, the first two weeks, that is, from 9/11/2016 to 23/11/2016, there were some problems regarding cash transactions. Even small businessmen also suffered a little bit in those 2 weeks. But, on the other hand, in these 2 weeks, many people of young generation installed several apps in their mobile handset to go for cashless transactions. That's a positive attitude shown by the young generation people of India. Now, let us assume that Mr. X is having black money and he kept all those money in denominations of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 in a secret place. If Mr. X deposits that amount of black money in his own bank accounts, then he will receive a letter from the Income Tax Department. Mr. X has a factory with a workforce of 50 employees. He distributed all his black money as a 1 year salary in advance to all the employees. For accepting the fund and depositing the money in their respective bank accounts by standing in long queues, each employee were given Rs. 500 each also. Therefore, the black money of Mr. X got utilized and Mr. X will not be receiving any letter from the Income Tax Department. 

Solochona: But, Banks have to bear the liabilities as those black money got deposited in Banks. Though, a major portion of those money got withdrawn. The money that got deposited in Banks can be used for giving advances. So, in an overall scenario, inflation is still under control. Side by side, the interest rates of CASA, Fixed Deposits and Loans is decreasing day be day which is a positive sign for Indian Economy. 

Arindam: Indirectly forcing people to invest money in SIP schemes of several Mutual Funds !

Roland: Not a bad idea to invest in Mutual Funds of India at this juncture because there has been a bullish trend in both Sensex and Nifty after that demonetization policy. Moreover, so many people have already been raided and so many people have come under the radar of Income Tax Department. For example, say, Mr. Y is a school teacher of any Government School. Every  year, Mr. Y files I-T return where he shows only the income that has been earned by him through school salaries. Mr. Y also earns around Rs. 3 lakhs per annum by doing private tuition. Mr. Y never showed Rs. 3 lakhs in the 'Other Income' section while filing the I-T return. After demonetization, either Mr. Y deposited all the 500 rupees and 1000 rupees in his bank account or distributed it somewhere. If Mr. Y deposited in his bank account, then he is liable to pay the extra income tax. Even if Mr. Y has distributed the money somewhere, the money indirectly got infused into the Indian Economy. Even if he has bought several items by doing shopping also by that 500 rupees and 1000 rupees, then also, he is contributing to the Indian economy indirectly. That black money is moving, not lying inside a box and remaining static for a long time. 

Sulochona: Yes, the funds got utilized. Even if a person wasted that 500 rupees and 1000 rupees by eating rich foods in 5 star restaurants or drinking alcohol in pubs, then also from 9/11/2016 to 31/12/2016, that person has contributed to the Indian Economy, because his black money got utilized as profit money for restaurant owners or pub owners.

Arindam: As per RBI reports, almost around 90% or so of the total denominations of 500 rupee and 1000 rupee note that were circulated, came back to RBI. Is it a good sign or a bad sign ?

Brijmohan: Of course ! It is a good sign. It means that a small percentage of money actually got wasted or destroyed. You cannot see any black money as it is intangible. The money which has been earned without declaring its exact source of Income to the Income Tax Department is the black money. Indian Government gave a chance to those people to give self declaration about it. When majority of them did not gave the self declaration, Indian Government played a master- stroke, where the entire fund earned without declaring about its source if income came back to the Indian Economy either directly or indirectly. The ultimate goal was not to catch the people having black money, but, to bring back the hidden money to the Indian economy again to boost Sensex, Nifty and Banking Sector. 

Sulochona: Even AADHAAR Card linkage and GST implementation is creating such an intelligent networking system that will help the Indian Government to track any financial transaction of anyone. PAN Card and Mobile Number is also linked with AADHAAR Card. Very soon, all Savings Accounts will be opened by extracting data from AADHAAR database as a new Customer ID will be created when a person gives his fingerprint on a biometric device. Say, Mr. Z wants to open a Savings Account. He just needs to fill up the Account Opening Form. The Bank Staff will enter  Mr. Z' AADHAAR Card Number in CBS Screen and then that person will be requested to give his fingerprint on the biometric device. Once the biometric authentication is successful, the Bank Staff will click the button, 'Generate Customer ID'. The Customer ID will be created by fetching the AADHAAR Card data from UIDAI database. Then the bank staff will create a Savings Account Number within 5 minutes with that Customer ID. Some Banks are also thinking about installing 'RETINA SCAN' machines and 'FINGER-PRINT SCAN' machines in ATM Centers where a person can withdraw money by entering the AADHAAR Card Number in the ATM Screen and then giving finger-print and doing retina scan to withdraw the money from any of his Savings Accounts of any Bank where his AADHAAR Card Number is linked. 

Roland: Overall, Indian Economy is going through a rapid change. Demonetization is indeed a master-stroke. But, Indian Government should have kept Rs. 100 rupee as the highest denomination. Though, there is a fear psychosis everywhere that anytime, any denomination can become just papers by an announcement only. So, many people will not take risks to keep too many 2000 rupee or new 500 rupee notes in the secret places of their house. Technical savvy people are already becoming accustomed to the cashless transactions day by day.

Arindam: Well, I think the time has come for the Indian Government to go for a coinless economy by replacing all coins with plastic notes. We will discuss about 'Coinless Economy' later on in another episode. So, after such a nice discussion, we can come to the conclusion by saying that , “THE ANCHORED BOAT FULL OF BLACK MONEY, SAILED INTO THE DEEP SEA OF INDIAN ECONOMY DUE TO DEMONETIZATION”. Thanks to Mr. Roland Ryan, Mr. Brijmohan Bhadra and Mrs. Sulochona Sarbadhikary for coming to our show and contributing with some important ideas and information. Viewers ! See you next time ! Have a nice time. Till then, Goodbye. 

TRANCARD !!!

Arindam: Hello Viewers ! You are watching 'WINE WITH ARINDAM' in your favourite Royal Bengal Tigers (RBT) Channel. Today, we have with us Mr. Bilasrao Subramaniam, the Project Head of TRANCARD project; Mr. Rajendra Chandrasekharan, the strategist of Transport Department of India; and Mr. Krishnakant Rawat, the Lead Technical Researcher of UIDAI. All of you are welcome to our show. Please have a seat.

Bilasrao: Thank you. This studio looks like a VIP lounge itself and the setup is so homely.

Arindam: We also have some delicious dishes for you. In this year of 2017, the fishermen of Bengal has been able to catch a huge number of Hilsha fishes and the amount of sale of Hilsha fishes is also a record. So, please enjoy the Red Wine with Khichuri, Hilsha fry and Chaalta chaatni.

Krishnakant: I have tasted Sorshe baata Hilsha curry many a times in Bengal, but, this is the first time, I will enjoy Khichuri with Hilsha fry. Wow ! The taste of all the food items are just too delicious. The quality of this premium brand french red wine is good too !

Arindam: Thank you ! Tell us something about the TRANCARD please.

Krishnakant: TRANCARD means Transport Card. The Card can be swiped in the TRANCARD swiping machine installed in Buses, Cabs, Metro Rails, Jetty Boats and Trains. Bilasrao knows more about its technical details.

Bilasrao: For example, say, we issued a TRANCARD to Mr.X with a one time registration fee of Rs. 100/-. We will link the AADHAAR Card Number of Mr. X with the TRANCARD, provided the AADHAAR Card Number is linked with at least one Bank Account in the name of Mr. X. Say, Mr. X has boarded a bus from Place A to reach to Place B. The Bus Conductor will request Mr. X to swipe the TRANCARD in the TRANCARD swiping machine. After swiping the Card, the Bus Conductor will type in the screen of Computer Terminal, From 'Place A' To 'Place B'; the Computer Terminal will generate the ticket amount, e.g. say Rs. 10/-. Now, the Bus Conductor will request Mr. X to put fingerprint of any of his finger on the BHIM-AADHAAR POS machine and then that Rs. 10/- will automatically get deducted from Mr. X's Bank Account to TRANSPORT ACCOUNT. The Bus Conductor will issue the ticket slip generated from the POS machine to Mr. X.

Arindam: What is this TRANSPORT ACCOUNT ?

Rajendra: Say, for example, WBTC is a Transport organization in Bengal. There will be a TRANSPORT ACCOUNT in the name of 'WBTC' in Allahabad Bank. Whenever that Rs. 10/- gets deducted from Mr. X's account, then that Rs. 10/- will get deposited to 'WBTC' account automatically with a financial narration, where the BUS serial number will be mentioned. So, at the end of the day, the WBTC Computer Operator just needs to search by 'BUS Serial Number' in WBTC website to find out how much revenue that particular Bus has earned on that day. Based on the revenue amount, 10% of commission will be automatically transferred to the Salary Account of Bus Driver and Bus Conductor who were on duty in that Bus on that particular day.

Arindam: For Buses, Cabs and Jetty Boats; this strategy will work. But, what about the Trains and Metro Rails ? There will be a different strategy altogether.

Rajendra: For Metro Rails, you can avoid standing in queues of any Ticket Counter to buy a ticket to collect a plastic coin to enter into the platform, if you have a TRANCARD. At the entrance gate of all the Metro Stations, there will be TRANCARD swiping machines with BHIM-AADHAAR POS machine. Swipe the TRANCARD and provide the fingerprint to get the plastic coin from a coin vending machine attached to it and move towards the platform. For Trains, in every platform, there will a ticket kiosk, where you can buy tickets on your own by just swiping the TRANCARD. This will not be a difficult task for young generation people because already this system is in implementation in several railway platforms.

Arindam: What is the main purpose of implementing TRANCARD ?

Krishnakant: One reason is of course to move a step towards cashless economy. Secondly, by searching on our UIDAI website through AADHAAR Card Number, we can track and record each and every person's movement from one place to another. On the other hand, many businessmen are coming out of transport business due to huge losses. Even many transport organizations are suffering losses. The big reason behind it is that the Bus Conductors, Helpers and Drivers are eating a major percentage of revenues earned. That's why; implementation of TRANCARD with commission system to Bus employees will help to reduce the lower level corruption to increase the revenues of any Transport Organization or business.

Arindam: Thanks a lot for spending some time with us and for giving us some important information. Thanks to all of you. Viewers ! We will meet again in our next episode. Till then, take care of yourself and goodbye for now.

We have got information that the Indian Government has a plan to utilize the southern portion of Bengal to boost Indian economy.

Bireswar Bhunia:- Yeah! That’s true. The name of the project is ‘DAKSHIN DWARS’ as this project is focussed mainly on opening up new gates for Indian economy through the southern portion of Bengal.

Arindam:- Ok! Tell us in brief about the project.

Gyaneswar Goswami:- Bengal will be having three small ports. First one at Digha, second one at Gangasagar, i.e. the southernmost point of Sagar Island and the third one at Bakkhali. There will be a new highway from Digha which will be named as ‘Rajrastha’ i.e. Royal Road. The construction of ‘Rajrastha’ will commence from New Digha. This Royal Road will pass through the coastal belt of South Bengal. ‘Rajrastha’ will pass through Mandarmani, Jagannathpur, Nandigram, Haldia and Raichak to ultimately meet National Highway 117 i.e. Diamond Harbour Road at Sarisha.

Arindam:- How is it possible without constructing any bridges?

Bireswar Bhunia:- Several small bridges will be constructed. There will be a bridge between Petuaghat and Hijli, Kendamari and Haldia, Kukrahati and Raichak. Another Triangular Bridge will be constructed to connect Geonkhali, Gadiara and Nurpur with each other. There will be a bridge on the Hatania Duania River at Namkhana also to connect Bakkhali with Kolkata directly by road. Even several small bridges will be constructed to connect several islands under Pathar Pratima Block by roads. Another bridge will be constructed between Namkhana Block and Mousuni Island Block. That bridge will help to create a fantastic route for the Gangasagar Pilgrims. A new Jetty Ghat will be created in Mousuni Island from where modern launches, vessels or steamers will ferry between Gangasagar and Paschim Gheri area of Mousuni Island.

Arindam:- Why this project is not utilizing the other small islands of South Bengal?

Gyaneswar Goswami:- Who told you that? We are utilizing the small islands too. Nayachar Island will be created as an eco-friendly tourism Island with lots of resorts, spas and hotels. Nayachar Island will become like Mauritius. Purba Island and Jambudweep Island will be the Vigilance Centres for Indian Navy. There will be hi-fi Navy Stations in these two small Islands. A large Granary and a Dumping Storehouse will be created in Ghoramara Island and in western part of Sagar Island.

Arindam:- What about the Indian Railways? There will be no new railroads in South Bengal!

Bireswar Bhunia:- Yeah! Of course! A new railroad will be created from Raichak to Pujali i.e. Budge Budge via Nurpur, Falta, Burul and Birlapur. The rail road will be constructed along the coastal line of River Hooghly only. There will be a new Railway Line from Barada Railway Station to Kukrahati Railway Station. There will be a new Railway Bridge to connect Kukrahati Station and Raichak Station. There will be another extended new Railway Line to connect Jaleswar Railway Station with Digha Station.

Arindam:- Wow! So, is it possible to launch trains from Sealdah to Puri via Digha and Haldia?

Gyaneswar Goswami:- No, there will be separate trains. One is from Sealdah to Haldia and another one is from Sealdah to Puri. Barada Station will become a junction to separate the rail line. One line will go towards Haldia and another one towards Puri via Digha-Haldia Junction, Mahishadal, Kanthi, Ramnagar, Digha and Jaleswar. The route of the express train from Sealdah to Puri will be like this; Sealdah>> Majherhat >> Budge Budge >> Falta >> Nurpur >> Raichak >> Kukrahati >> Barada >> Mahisadal >> Kanthi >> Ramnagar >>Digha >> Jaleswar>> Balasore>> Bhadrak>>Cuttack>> Bhubaneswar>> Puri.  Another train will run from Paradeep to Sealdah. That train will cover the new rail line between Paradeep and Dhamra Port Station. Also the train will go to Haldia Port and then again start its journey from Haldia Port towards Sealdah Station. There will be a ship, ‘Sagar Samrat’ for tourists from Vizag to Nayachar Island. ‘Sagar Samrat’ will halt at Puri, Digha, Bakkhali and Gangasagar during its trip. The Nayachar Island will be named as ‘Swargadweep’.

Arindam:- All the Indians are wishing that this ‘DAKSHIN DWARS’ project gets completed as early as possible. It will not only create more employment and business opportunities in South Bengal; it will also contribute directly to the GDP growth of India’s economy. Thanks to both of you for coming to our show and sharing some valuable information about an excellent project. Viewers! It’s time to wrap up for today. See you in the next episode of this show. Stay happy and safe with your family members and beloved ones. Goodbye.

HISTORY OF SAIN DYNASTY !!!

Arindam:- Hello! Viewers! You are watching your favourite show, ‘WINE WITH ARINDAM’ in Royal Bengal Tigers (RBT) TV Channel. Today, we have invited two eminent persons in our studio. Please welcome Mr. Darius Darwin, the famous scientist cum DNA analyst and Mr. Ramchandra Rajvanshi, the famous historian cum anthropologist. Please take your seat, Sirs and enjoy the Red Wine with salted fried mushrooms and crispy boneless mutton pakodas. Cheers! Recently, both of you have completed a research project in which you have worked jointly. The name of that research project is “HISTORY OF SAIN DYNASTY”. Tell us something about that project.

Darius Darwin:- Before coming to the main topic, you must assume some facts. The Planet Earth was once in a gaseous state. At that time, there was a star nearer to Earth which had almost equivalent power like the Sun. That star died a natural death after millions of years. After the death of that star, the temperature of the Earth dipped by so much that the entire planet remained in a frozen state. After several thousands of years, the Sun started gaining its power due to inclusion of some heated meteorites on a gradual basis. Gradually, the temperature of the Planet Earth started increasing. As a result, the entire Planet Earth was in a liquid state. It was water everywhere. Point to be noted that since the origin of the Planet Earth, the meteor attacks were taking place on the Earth. So, obviously, these meteorites got dumped at the centre of the Earth to form a magnetic field. Tectonic plates are nothing but the dumped meteorites for millions and millions of years. Several earthquakes started taking place to balance the equilibrium of tectonic plates when the Planet Earth was in liquid form. Due to one of the strongest earthquakes ever, a huge mass of rocky and sandy land came up from the centre of the Earth. For around 1000 years or so, that huge mass of land was at the middle of the Earth. This huge mass of land was known as Pangaea. People say that Pangaea got formed after Gondwanaland. But, that’s not true. Basically, Pangaea got formed first and then it broke out into several large landmasses.

Ramchandra Rajvanshi:- In Pangaea Supercontinent, humans evolved directly from very big fishes in Siberian and Australian coast. Humans evolved directly from big monkeys in the jungles of China and Japan. Point to be noted here that in ancient times, both China and Japan were together geographically and was known as Nippon. Later on, due to earthquakes, Japan got separated from China geographically. In the jungles of Central Africa, South India and Central America, the humans evolved directly from the apes such as chimpanzees, orangutan or gibbons. The evolved humans of Siberia came to be known as Eskimo. The evolved humans of Australia came to be known as Aborigine. The evolved humans of China and Japan came to be known as Ainu. The evolved humans of Central Africa came to be known as Maasai. The evolved humans of South India came to be known as Dravidian. The evolved humans of Central America came to known as Aztec. A group of Eskimo migrated further westwards to have dominance on Alaska, Canada, Iceland, Greenland, Europe and Arctic Circle and came to be known as Europeans. A group of Eskimo people migrated south-westwards towards Persia and came to be known as Aryans. Another group of Eskimo people migrated southwards from Siberia towards Mongolia and came to be known as Hun. A group of Ainu people migrated southwards to settle down at Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, North Korea, South Korea and other south-east Asian nations. Aborigine people were happy with their Australia Island, though; a group of Aborigine people explored further south-eastwards to settle down in an island of New Zealand. In New Zealand, these Aborigine people came to be known as Maori. A group of Dravidian people migrated north-westwards towards Indus River to create the famous Indus Valley Civilization and south-eastwards towards South-East Asian nations like Singapore and Indonesia.  A group of Maasai people migrated westwards towards Caribbean islands and north eastwards towards Egypt and Arab. A group of Aztec people migrated towards Chile through Amazon Basin of Brazil. So, there were 6 (six) primitive human communities in this Planet.

Arindam:- Ok! That’s quite interesting! Now, please tell us about the main topic.

Ramchandra Rajvanshi:- The Hun people tried to invade China, but, the Ainu people of China created such a huge and stretched wall i.e. The Great Wall of China, that the Hun people dropped the idea of conquering China. Then, the Hun people marched westwards. A group of Hun people settled down after conquering several small kingdoms in and around Aral Sea and Caspian Sea. Another group of Hun people marched further westwards to enter Europe through Belarus. Hun people who entered Europe lost their supremacy and became ordinary citizens of Europe. Some of them became good singers and musicians in Europe. Attila was a good ruler of Hun people, but, after his death, the Hun people started fighting among themselves. Hun people had no religion and used to worship only the trees and rocks before going to war. After the Battle of Dara in 530 AD, the Hun people were losing their power in Central Asia. Sunicas utilized the Hun people to fight against Persian Sassanid Empire. Ataneq Sain, a reputed military chief of the Hun who worked under Sunicas understood beforehand that the Persians are too powerful to destroy the Byzantine or Greek empire. So, a group of Hun people migrated south eastwards towards Indus River to conquer the Aryan empire of Sindh. But, ironically, the then King of Aryan Empire managed to sign a peace treaty with the Hun people. There is a very interesting thing to be noted. Thousands of years back, Eskimo people who settled down in Persia were known as Aryans and had no religion at all. They came out with a new principle of peace and universal brotherhood. Later on, the Caliphs of Arab started forcing the Aryans of Persia to get converted into Islam. As a result, Aryans started migrating to Indus Valley Civilization created by Dravidians. At that time, Indus Valley Civilization was stretched from Hindukush Mountains to Indus River. The Aryans and Dravidians who settled down near Hindukush Mountains had one common enemy, i.e. the Muslim rulers of Arab and Persia. At that juncture, they decided to give birth to a new religion, which is known as Hinduism.

Arindam:- Wow! Exciting history!

Darius Darwin:- Yeah! History of Central Asia and India is always exciting. Hun people never became Muslims at any cost. The Hun people who remained in Central Asia got converted to Christianity by getting married to either Greek or Roman people. The Hun people who migrated towards Indus River got converted to Hinduism by getting married to either Aryan or Dravidian people. Now, from this point starts the new twist in the history of Sain Dynasty. Over to you, Mr. Rajvanshi!

Ramchandra Rajvanshi:- See! There is a problem with Hindu religion. Hindu priests always created so many divisions and subdivisions within Hindu religion. So many castes and sub-castes! The people of Sain dynasty who married to Dravidian people were coined as low-caste Hindus by the Aryans. So, in the Sain dynasty, a division was created by the Aryans. The Hun people had no religion and no division among them at all. But, now, they have been divided in the name of religion and caste by the Aryans. Therefore, a section of Sain dynasty who got coined as low-caste Hindus formed their own community known as Sain Samaj and they united all the low-caste Hindus who were Hun people to form a new caste known as Jat. In Hindi, the word ‘JAAT’ means Caste. So, the word, ‘JAT’ evolved from ‘JAAT’ only. Later on, a group came out from Sain Samaj to be known as Saini Community. Majority of people of Saini community are Sikhs.

Arindam:- Why the Huns who married Aryan people or Hun people did not protest against the Aryans regarding this issue?

Darius Darwin:- Why should they? The Hun people who got married to Aryan people got a new identity as they came to be known as Rajputs after conquering some small kingdoms of Rajasthan. The Rajputs Kshatriyas became too busy in conquering the kingdoms of Marwari and Gujarati Kings. A group of Rajputs protested against too much violence and bloodsheds; and later on, they migrated to Uttar Pradesh to become Brahmins. The successor of Sain Brahmins of Uttar Pradesh started fighting with people and conquering the lands of the poor farmers. So, these Sain Brahmins came to be known as Sain Thakurs and some of these Thakurs also became the Bahubalis of Uttar Pradesh. On the other hand, when the invasion of Mughal Empire destroyed the Rajput Empire in India, those Rajputs started migrating towards Maharashtra. You will find some good businessmen in Maharashtra who are from Sain dynasty but they are Marathi now.

Arindam:- Is Sainbaba of Shirdi somehow related to Sain dynasty?

Ramchandra Rajvanshi:- No, there is no link. See! The word, ‘Sain’ has different meanings. The word, ‘Sain’ means ‘A Friend or a Guru or a Lover or a Leader or a Messenger of God.’  There is a saying, ‘Jaare rakho Sain, maar saake na koi.’ This dialogue is common among the Sikh people. It means that if their Guru’s blessings are with a person, then you can do no harm to that person. In Gujarat, the word, ‘Sain’ means a good friend. In Maharashtra and South India, the word, ‘Sain’ means ‘a messenger of God’. Sainbaba was just a common man of Maharashtra who tried to preach that ‘Sab ka Malik ek hain’. That’s why; Marathi people gave him the name of ‘SAINBABA’ as he acted like a messenger of God.

Arindam:- Ok! Then where did the people of Sain dynasty migrated further?

Ramchandra Rajvanshi:- In South India, the Sain dynasty migrated till northern Karnataka and northern Andhra Pradesh to become more conservative in their lifestyle and attitude. A group of Sain Thakurs of Uttar Pradesh entered Bihar when Sher Shah Suri was in power in Delhi. The Sain Thakurs of Bihar started having some violence among themselves regarding the lands in Bihar. The group of Sain Thakurs who lost the battle in Bihar with the other group of Sain Thakurs planned to go out of Bihar. A group of the loser Sain Thakurs entered Rourkela from Aurangabad and another group of loser Sain Thakurs entered Bardhaman from Giridih when Nawab Siraj-ud-daulah was in power. Point to be noted here that the present Bihar and some parts of Northern Orissa was totally under Bengal when Nawab Siraj-ud-daulah was in power in and around 1750 AD. A group of Sain Thakurs got married to Orissa Brahmins and became Oriya Brahmins who came to be known as Swain Brahmins. Again, a clash took place between Sain Thakurs and Swain Brahmins. The Sain Thakurs went out of Northern Orissa to enter Midnapore District of Bengal. In Bardhaman, the Sain Thakurs maintained good relationships with the British people to become the Zamindars of Bardhaman. Some of the people of Sain family of Bardhaman became hermits and migrated further eastwards to enter East Bengal. In East Bengal, these Sain Thakurs became Sain Fakirs as they had no money. Their only job was to sing Bengali folk songs.

Arindam:- Ha ha ha...Whosoever enters Bangladesh becomes a Fakir only. What’s next?

Darius Darwin:- At least those fakirs of Sain dynasty are much better than the hooligans of Sain dynasty. You analyze the history of Sain dynasty! One word is common and that is, ‘Fighting’. Some of the people of the Sain dynasty of Bardhaman revolted against the Left Front and hence got killed brutally. But, still, the Sain dynasty of Bardhaman is flourishing as their successors have migrated in Hooghly, Howrah and Kolkata to succeed in several businesses and in other professions. On the other hand, the people of Sain dynasty who entered Midnapore became Zamindars too in the initial stages by taking the help of British Rulers, but, later on, all the people of Sain dynasty in Midnapore became freedom fighters and fought against the British.

Ramchandra Rajvanshi:- As a result, the Sain Brahmins of Midnapore became too poor to start farming. As per laws of Hinduism, if a Brahmin does farming on his own with plough and cows, then that Brahmin loses his Brahmin status. The Sain Brahmins or Thakurs became Sain Kayasthas in Midnapore. In 1943, a famine took place in Bengal. At that juncture, a group of Sain Kayasthas migrated to Sunderbans delta by crossing the Hooghly River. Some of these Sain Kayasthas of Sunderbans area have migrated to Kolkata to flourish further. In my opinion, ‘Migration’ is the keyword of Sain Dynasty. It is in their gene only like the nomadic Bedouins have it in their gene.

Darius Darwin:- The people of Sain Dynasty are talented people. They are normally addicted towards music, arts, literature and drama, but, side by side, they are good strategist. The moment, they find anything wrong with their current strategy, they will immediately change their strategy without even thinking about its outcome. Fortune favours the brave. That’s why; the people of Sain Dynasty never repented about their migration and conquest strategy. The only problem is that the Sain Dynasty has too many divisions among themselves with several personal and non-personal issues. Another problem is that the people of Sain Dyansty are very moody people. When their mood is off, they become too lazy but after that laziness, they work much faster than it was really expected. Only one suggestion! The next generation people of Sain Dyansty should not waste their time and energy in physical fighting like hooligans, rather they must keep it at the level of mental fighting like a professional warrior to come back again and again in odd times and bad situations.

Ramchandra Rajvanshi:- While doing this research, we got so many other facts that we may start other researches also about the ancient people of India. Even the results of DNA Tests are showing some interesting links of modern Indians with some other races of ancient India and its neighbouring nations. So, all in all, we have succeeded in finding at least 90% genuine facts and figures about the research work on “HISTORY OF SAIN DYNASTY”.

Arindam:- Thank you to both of you for sharing these valuable information to our viewers and thanks a lot for coming to this show and spending some memorable moments out here. Viewers! That’s all we have in this episode. See you again later. Goodbye!
