The Arhtiyas (Middlemen) of Punjab

The Arhtiyas of Punjab are political connected.

In July 2017, in a public function the Arhyiyas felicitated Amarinder Singh with the title of ‘Fakhr-e-Quam’(Pride of the Community).

Post that function, the CM had said it would be difficult to waive off the debt owed by farmers to the arhtiyas.

As many as 86% of farmer & 80% of agricultural labours are mired in debt, says a study on Indebtedness among Farmers & Agricultural Labourers in Rural Punjab.

Its authors, researchers at Punjabi University, Patiala, say over a fifth of that debt was owed to commission agents and moneylenders.

No less than 8,294 farmers took their own lives between 2000 & 2015, says a study presented last year before the Vidhan Sabha’s Committee.

6,373 agricultural labourers also killed themselves in the same period. And that was in just six of the state’s 22 districts.

The study, commissioned by the state government’s revenue department, found that 83 per cent of all these suicides were largely debt-driven.

An estimate in the year 2012-13 indicated that every Arhitya/ Middle men/ Commission agent earned on a average of 6.7 Lakh on interest payments.

Their average other income excluding commissions & MSP cuts per year is 12 Lakh/ Annum. They receive 1370 Cr in interest every year

The DMK & Congress Farmer Loan Waiver Model for Tamilnadu: How farmers were fooled!

After coming back to power in 2006, DMK announced Loan waivers for all farmers. Total loans taken in 4000 Co-operative societies was ₹6526 Crore.

TN Finance minister in his iconic Budget Speech of 2007 said the waived amount of co-operative loans would be reimbursed to the co- operative institutions in 5 instalments with 8 percent interest to ensure the continued functioning

DMK did not pay the dues to Cooperative banks. They went to UPA asking for 5000 Crores funds. Central Govt showed them the door not wanting to set a bad precedence

Early 2008, Banks still not paid their dues. Karunanidhi was still hoping centre will fund his electoral promise.

To DMK’s favour, before the 2009 Loksabha elections, UPA announced Farm loan waivers of 60,000 Crores including the ₹6526 Crores committed by DMK in 2006. Point to note: Banks not paid yet

Disinvestments : Sale of Partial stake also qualifies under disinvestment

Department of Disinvestment was brought under ministry of finance in May 2004 immediately after UPA Government took over.

Inflation adjusted value of disinvestment over the past 👇👇

2009-10 : ₹46,981 Cr
2010 -11 : ₹40,352 Cr
2011 -12 : ₹23,776 Cr
2012 -13: ₹36,876 Cr
2013 -14: ₹22,385 Cr

UPA 2: ₹1,70,370 Crores

2014-15 : ₹32,443 Cr
2015-16 : ₹23,997 Cr
2016-17 : ₹46,247 Cr
2017-18 : ₹1,00,057 Cr
2018-19 : ₹84,972 Cr

NDA 1: ₹2,87,716 Crores

2017-18 recorded the highest disinvestment. Of the ₹1,00,057 Cr disinvested, ONGC got ₹36,915 Cr of Government stake in HPCL.

Even in 2018-19, ₹15,000 Cr disinvestment happened by virtue of Power finance corporation buying out major stake in Rural electrification corporation

There are multiple such examples of one Public sector taking over another in the last 5 years and benefiting the government by virtue of it.

In NDA 2 below are the disinvestments
2019-20: ₹50,299 Cr
2020-21: ₹19,499 Cr

So to which Crony capitalists did UPA sell out to??

MK Stalin vowed that the state's economy will expand to above 35 lakh crore in 10 years.

He also said this would lead to the creation of 10 lakh new jobs each year, cutting unemployment percentage into half and increasing per capita income to Rs 4 lakh per year

TN GDP currently is ₹18.9 Lakh Crores (Current prices with Base price of 2011-12). In 10 years if the GDP has to be ₹35 Lakh Crore I.e., an addition of ₹16.1 Lakh Crores in 10 years, which is on a average of ₹1.61 Lakh Crore every year.

Pre Covid CAGR (Current prices) of TN for the 4 year period between 2016 & 19 was 9%.

Considering that growth for the next 10 years, the GDP of TN will be ₹44.7 Lakh Crores.

Between 2011-12 & 2020-21, the GDP has increased from 7.5 Lakh Crores to 18.9 Lakh Crores. Which is 2.5 folds growth.

Even By considering this historical pattern, the GDP in 2030-31 should be 47 Lakh Crores.

By saying they will take TN to just 35 Lakh Crores in 10 years, DMK is accepting they will reduce the growth rates to 6.5%. Let him stay as opposition party.

Existing primary & secondary industries will contribute 6% of the 9% CAGR in GDP with growing volumes & price inflation

WHEN GH0RI TOOK TO HIS HEELS WHILST FIGHTING A HINDU QUEEN

THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA (Kayadara)
1178 AD

Strategy! Bravado! Glory!

(Thread)

The narrative set by left historians about one of their favorite poster boys "Gh0ri" is that he went unchallenged upon entering the Indian subcontinent with one king falling after another.(1)

They conveniently deleted this event. Why? An agenda aimed at making us feel weak and inferior against the invaders in an attempt to glorify them. Simple strategy: To destroy a civilization tamper their history.(2)

Gh0ri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the 2nd Battle of Tarain in 1192 and laid the foundation of Delhi Sultanate. What is not well known is the fact that 14 years before he won this battle, he was defeated by the queen of Gujarat "Naiki Devi"!(3)

In 1173 Md Gh0ri had conquered the Ghaznavids in Afghanistan. A ruthless, persistent and deceptive Gh0ri was successful in conducting massive raids deep inside Indian territory.(4)

Today is the 110th Birthday Anniversary of Faiz Ahmad Faiz. His story is incredible.

Joined the Indian Army in 1942 (WW2).
Supported the Naval Mutiny.
Attended Gandhi’s funeral in Delhi.
Nominated for Nobel Prize in Literature.
Received the Lenin Peace Prize in 1962.

#Thread

Just like Bhagat Singh, Faiz was considered a Hero in Undivided British India. During WW2, Faiz served with a unit led by Akbar Khan, a left-wing officer and future Pakistan Army general.

Faiz rose to the rank of lieutenant-colonel.

There was a mass recruitment of Indians especially socialist & communist activists into the British Indian Army and RIN (Navy) for war efforts against Nazi Germany after 1941.

However, once the war was over, the newly recruited men turned against the British, 1946 Naval Mutiny.

His poem Subh-e Azaadi (The Dawn of Freedom, August 1947) records his disappointment with the partition of the Indian subcontinent.

Faiz was imprisoned for more than 4 years after partition in a fake case popularly called "Pindi Conspiracy Case".

Communist party of Pak was banned soon after that Rawalpindi Conspiracy case.

He was held in solitary confinement in Sahiwal and Hyderabad (Sindh) jail and was even deprived of writing material. Faiz was again imprisoned in 1958 (Ayyub Khan’s martial law).

Warning this thread is gonna be long!
Please bear with me.

Raison D'etre why Punjab has emerging as State driving Farmers' Agitation ...

ARHTIYAS & THE ANATOMY OF A "FARMERS PROTEST"

Contd

There are 36K licensed commission agents in Punjab + many more sub agents. These license agents are called Arhtiyas.

These gents earned ₹16K crore commission fee last yr as over the line income. This translates to about 4.5 lacs per agent. That's only frm wht Govt pays them.

3
They also lend money to farmers and others. Their rate, AT its lowest, is 1.5% per month (or 18% per year). Thus, most of the political money is parked with them because they get the best return on investment. This income is manifold of the official income.

- They therefore are the new zamindars, as they have direct control over farmers and their livelihood.

- There are many farmers who are also Arhtiyas and vice versa. They are all the BIG players.

Contd ...

5.
Post demonetization Arhtiyas cycled money of pol parties by channeling cashdeposits to farmers as payment of loan & interest in books & allowed farmers to payback real loan with softer credit ovr 2 yrs. Hence he converted money made 18% + circulated principle twice in 2 yrs.

@UnSubtleDesi Hello Ma'am. Can you publish an article on SSC CGL'19 results? BJP is not right everywhere. As an editor, it's your responsibility to bring the attention of masses towards these issues too. Please look into the issue and write about the injustice we students are facing from SSC.

Well for starters, when modiji is talking about Digital India and all the other schemes, then why's an online exam, whose result normally takes 3-4 days to publish being stretched to 3 months, and that's just one of the 4 exams and document verification to be done to get a 1/n

post through SSC CGL. The whole process takes about 3 years (CGL'18 result has not been even finalised yet and it's 2021 already).
Now coming to the matter at hand (CGL'19), Tier 2 exam was conducted in 3 days for just 1,25,000 students. Why weren't the exams conducted in 2/n

a single day? And even if the exams were conducted on 3 dates, viz. 15,16and 18 November, why was the difference in difficulty level so huge? There is a process of normalization which equates the marks of the students based on the difficulty level of paper of a certain day, 3/n

but the paper on 18th was so easy that the whole algorithm just collapsed. Imagine the shock of the students when the saw the cutoff 528/600 in comparision to the cutoff of last year (433/600). Students who got 450 on 15th and 16th cleared this cutoff and students who got 556 4/n
