Hearty Congrats Maharashtra CM Fadnavis & cabinet for making a momentous decision to have 24X7 work culture & allowing shops & establishments to be open for business 24 hours a day rather than 8 hourly work schedule that the nation was following since independence from british colonizers& dacoits in 1947 ! It is shocking & puzzling that the government & rulers including Modiji-BJP-NDA alliance was dragging their feet till now for totally unknown or unspecified reasons or for fear of nation-wide protest from trade unions & vested interests?As a research scientist who had scripted a travelogue book entitled, "New Yorkkil Oru Shastrajnan" ( A scientist in New York) detailing my life & Travel musings of my life in New York as a Visiting Professor at New York University Medical Centre for a brief period in 1991, I had taken pain to highlight that India struggling to fight poverty & to be an economic power house sooner or later must implement the following policies 1) Privatize all public enterprises excepting military & national security related enterprises to make them profitable and enable them to generate thousands & thousands of JObs 2) Have 24X7 work culture in the country as was the case in USA in 1991 to increase work productivity at least 3 times & to provide millions of more jobs for a country struggling with crippling unemployment, etc 3) Reform trade union laws & allow companies to hire & fire to achiever maximum efficienc productivity, etc ! Though written in Malayalam Language , very few, especially nehru dyansty that was ruling most of the states including Kerala & central government or bureaucrats in channels of power in the state or central government NEVER BOTHERED TO read my recommendations or did not think the suggestions from a medical scientist are not worth reading or caring or as worthwhile! End result, our nation has suffered badly due to myopic and amateurish & frankly incompetent policies of states & central government & it needed a Fadanavis BJP Government of Maharshtra to take the bull by the horms & show the initiative that wiser men did not find the recommendations there in the New York Travelogue worth the ink or paper used for producing the TravelogueBook! May be " one can take the horse to water, but cannot make it drink"! May I hasten to add that the recommendations of having 24X7 work culture etc are one of the hundreds of recommendations that I recorded in my travelogue book mentioned above! Again to quote Upnishat's Verses, " If a blind man trundling along is unable to find a pole for support on the way & cannot identify or locate the pole, it is not the fault of the pole" What a Shame!
