My ideology in brief
In an age dominated by slogans, emotional politics, and ideological extremes, I believe it is important to clearly articulate a sensible, grounded, and internally consistent worldview. This piece lays out my ideological position on governance, society, economics, and the role of the state—not as dogma, but as a rational framework rooted in accountability, liberty, and merit.
1. The Core Purpose of the State
The state, the government, and the law are not meant to micromanage society, engineer morality, or control personal lives. Their role is limited but crucial.
In my view, the state has four primary responsibilities:
a) Ensuring Justice
Justice must be visible, accessible, and fair. A society cannot function if justice is delayed, selective, or captured by elites.
To strengthen justice:
Courts should move toward citizen jury systems, reducing excessive judicial centralization.
Justice should reflect collective moral reasoning, not just institutional authority.
b) Accountability of Power
All power must be accountable—to the people.
Therefore, a healthy political system must include:
Right to Recall for elected representatives.
Referendums on major national and policy decisions.
Transparent governance where politicians and bureaucrats are directly answerable to citizens.
Power without accountability inevitably turns corrupt.
c) Security from External and Internal Threats
The state must protect citizens from:
External aggression
Internal breakdown of law and order
National defense and internal security are non-negotiable duties of the state.
d) Creating an Enabling and Safe Environment
Beyond welfare, the state must create a safe, predictable, and innovation-friendly environment.
This means:
Citizens should feel safe to fail, experiment, and innovate.
Entrepreneurs and innovators should not fear arbitrary laws, harassment, or policy instability.
Like in business incubators or innovation labs, failure must be treated as a learning process—not a crime.
In such an environment, people rise through merit, talent, and competence, not privilege or political favoritism.
2. Social Liberty and Personal Freedom
I firmly believe in maximum personal liberty as long as it does not harm others.
Marriage and Relationships
Any two consenting adults (above the legal age) should be free to marry or live together.
Inter-caste and inter-religious marriages are personal choices.
The only red line is incest.
The state and society have no moral authority to interfere beyond this.
LGBTQ and Privacy
What consenting adults do in their private lives is nobody’s business.
However:
I do not support turning sexuality into public political spectacle and doing pride parades or propaganda.
But privacy must be respected.
3. Religion and the Public Sphere
Religion is a private affair.
Faith belongs:
In homes
In personal spaces
In individual conscience
Religion does not belong:
In governance
In public administration
In state policy
The state must remain strictly neutral, neither promoting nor suppressing religion—only preventing its imposition on others.
4. Economic Ideology: Free Market, Not Crony Capitalism
I support a genuine free market, not the distorted version where large corporations crush smaller players using political influence.
A true free market requires:
Strong anti-monopoly regulations
Protection from cartelization
Prevention of political–corporate collusion
If big businesses manipulate politicians to eliminate competition, that is not capitalism—it is corruption.
5. Strategic Sectors and National Interest
Not all sectors are equal.
Certain critical sectors must remain under 100% Indian ownership, with zero foreign control, including:
Defense and weapons manufacturing
Electronics
Energy
Banking and finance
Infrastructure and construction
Real estate
Media
Mining
Agriculture & Farming
Education
Within India, companies in these sectors may freely compete with one another & their state owned counterparts.
However, limited strategic protectionism is necessary to shield them from artificial external pressures.
Non-critical sectors may remain open to foreign participation like if a foreign brand is selling a thing as basic as pencil & sharpeners then i won't have any issue.
6. Reservation, Equality, and Real Upliftment
I do not support reservation policies.
This does not mean I oppose the upliftment of marginalized or historically discriminated communities. I strongly want them to rise—but reservation is a flawed tool.
Real solutions include:
Free, world-class education for all
Upgrading government schools to top standards
Industrialization and job creation
Subsidized housing for those without shelter
Food security for those lacking basic nutrition
The objective should be to equalize starting conditions, not permanently distort competition.
Once basic needs are met, everyone should compete on merit, not identity.
7. Government Jobs and Employment
Government jobs should exist only as needed to run the nation efficiently.
They should not be treated as:
Mass employment schemes
Social welfare tools
Employment must primarily come from industry, innovation, and private enterprise, not bureaucratic expansion.
8. Natural Resources, Transparency, and Distribution
All national resources—minerals, spectrum, land—belong to the people.
Therefore:
Contracts must be transparent
Awarded to the highest bidder
Limited to fixed terms (e.g., five years)
Revenue distribution:
50% to national defense and the military
50% directly or indirectly for civilian welfare, inspired by models like Alaska’s resource dividend system
9. Arms, Taxation, and Fiscal Philosophy
I support the Right to Bear Arms under a regulated licensing system.
I support Empty Land Tax.
I support Progressive Taxation, where contribution scales with capacity.
The goal is fiscal responsibility—not punishment, not populism.
Conclusion: A Sensible Middle Path
My ideology rejects:
Anarchic utopias
Authoritarian states
Identity-based politics
Crony capitalism
Performative morality
Instead, it stands for:
Accountability
Liberty
Merit
National self-reliance
A limited but strong state
This is not extremism.
This is sense.
