The Empty Land Tax: A Market-Based Alternative to Burdensome Taxation Jatin Mahaveer Singh • May 18, 2025 at 21:43 Introduction: What this all is about In a world dominated by complex and burdensome tax systems that distort market incentives and restrict individual freedom, the Empty Land Tax (ELT) emerges as a refreshingly simple alternative. A refined version of the Land Value Tax concept, the ELT targets only non-functional and unused land at a modest rate of 1% per annum, while offering generous exemptions for personal use. The current taxation system places excessive burdens on productive activities—we tax income (discouraging work), sales (discouraging consumption), and business (discouraging entrepreneurship). The ELT shifts the focus to an unproductive resource—unused land—creating powerful incentives for efficient use without punishing productivity. The Problem of Excessive Taxation in Today's India India's current taxation system represents a serious impediment to eco...

Both Common Sense and Education state that it is the basic duty of every citizen to understand and partake in Politics. The partaking in politics doesn't just mean voting for your favorite politician or hooting for a specific political party, partaking in politics means understanding the very nature of politics which includes governance and administration of your country/state/district, organization of your society, comparative analyzing it with other countries and trying to implement the most efficient methods of organizing your society and Country, so it is always one step ahead of everyone else. Government and Society: An Important Distinction The Governed City: A Classic Painting Some authors have mixed society with the government so much, that they have little to no distinction between them but in reality, the society and government are not only different but also have different origins.  Society is born out of our needs, while government arises from man's nature of wrongd...

In this article, we shall analyze Christianism in detail. It was the first to make itself felt forcefully at the onset of the British rule in India, We, however, wish to make it clear at the very outset that Christianism in India does not refer to the Christians in this country. They are our own people who at a certain stage of our history went over to a foreign faith in an atmosphere created and exploited by Christianism . But although they have renounced their ancestral faith, they have, by and large, not shown any marked hostility towards Hindu society and culture. Nor have they so far served as vehicles of Christianism except in certain areas of the Northeast, notably Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Nagaland.  The Commandments of  Christianism: The Banner of Goan Inquisition Christianism in India is centered in the numerous Christian missions operating all over the country, particularly in the so-called tribal belts. The eight fundamentals of Christianism in India may be summarise...

Arab Superiority aka Arabism , the residue of the Arabian invasion of India spread over several centuries. Its basic tenets are ultimately derived from the teachings of Radical Islam which has so far succeeded in sealing itself off from every shade of empiricism, rationalism, universalism, humanism, and liberalism, the hallmarks of Hindu as well as modern Western culture.  But in the context of India where Radical Islam failed in its mission of lasting conquest and total conversion, these tenets have acquired a singularly sinister and subversive character. Let it be clear that the reference here is not at all to our Muslim brethren who are our own flesh and blood, except for that microscopic minority that takes pride in the purity of its Arab, Persian or Turkish descent. Instead of being the proponents of  Arabism , the Muslims of India are its victims whom it is trying to use as vehicles of its poisonous virulence. The vast majority of Indian Muslims were converted to Islam b...
