Nandan Nilekani - Reluctant Masiha of Indian Urban Poor ?
Dear All,
1. Rural India is surely on the move. And the UPA government is bent
on seeing that Rural India keeps moving.
Basic common sense will tell us that this Rural Indian is NOT welcome
in Australia, nor in Canada, nor in UK, nor in Europe, nor in
Malaysia, nor in Sri Lanka.
And this Rural Indian is also intelligent enough to realize that the
so called Indian Passport is an absolutely worthless document, not
even worth the paper it is printed upon, UNLESS it ALSO has a VISA
from one of the concerned embassies or High Commissions of the
countries that he would like to migrate to.
So WHERE can the RURAL Indian migrate to ? Obviously the poor Tamils
will move to Mumbai, the Bihari from Purulia will migrate to Punjab,
Delhi or Mumbai, and the other North Indian migrants will be moving to
the outskirts of Bangalooru, only to be prevented by fringe Kannadiga
groups from sitting in the Railways entrance exam.
2. So now, enter the Dragon, in the form of the smiling IT CZAR from
Infosys - Mr Nandan Nilekani. The UPA government needs him to build
the infrastructure for inwards migration of various uprooted Indian
communities in search of jobs, basic civic needs, a stable income and
education for their children in the slums of Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai
and Delhi.
And this precisely is what the DELIVERABLE for Mr Nandan Nilekani is
going to be. A DOMESTIC PASSPORT for the uprooted Indian in search of
an identity on the fringes of the big cities of India. This domestic
passport will hopefully entitle the Indian rural migrant to a life of
some decency on the fringes of Indian cities. It will provide the
urban poor a tool and a mechanism to demand his basic human rights
from the Indian state rather than sink in the stench of the life of
urban poor of India.
Hopefully, Mr Nandan Nilekani, with all his oodles of experience in IT
Architectural Design Patterns and design of scaleable architecture for
massive transaction oriented IT systems will not be found wanting in
the trust that the Indian Urban Poor ( IUP) have placed in him to
deliver to them a DOMESTIC PASSPORT in cruel and modern India.
3. Mr Nandan Nilekani has expressed his " eloquent " VISION for
rejigging and rebooting India, in fluent English and in fluent
technological mumbo jumbo.
Now the Indian Urban Poor will be expressing THEIR vision of India and
try to discover if Mr Nandan Nilekani is upto the task of delivering
the DELIVERABLE of a DOMESTIC PASSPORT to migrant Indians.

Nagarjuna
