FROM the HAIR of SHIVA to the HAIR of the PROPHET … and Other Essays FROM THE HAIR OF SHIVA TO THE HAIR OF THE PROPHET … and other essays SAUVIK CHAKRAVERTI The soft parade has now begun, Listen to the engines hum, People out to have some fun, Cobra on my left, Leopard on my right! JIM MORRISON The Doors 2 DEDICATION To travel and travelers. And to the fond hope that, someday soon, travel in my great country will be safe, comfortable and swift. May Shubh Laabh and Shubh Yatra go together. Bon Voyage! 3 FOREWORD I am a firm believer in the social utility of enjoyable politico-economic journalism. Economists like Frederic Bastiat and Henry Hazlitt have set alight the minds of millions with the fire of freedom, not by writing dissertations, but by reaching out to lay people through jouernalism. These include dentists, engineers, architects and various other professionals who really need to know political economy in order to vote correctly, but have never had the opportunity to study it formally; or rather, in school, they have been MISTAUGHT! They are thus easily led astray by economic sophisms that justify protectionism and other damaging forms of state interference in economic life. It is for such people that I have penned this volume and I offer it to the general reading public so that they may not only enjoy the read but also appreciate the importance of Freedom: Freedom From The State. In this I have attempted to be extremely simple in my arguments – there are no ‘theories’ presented. There are also a series of travelogues which explain reality on the ground as we see it, and contrast East and West. For example: the first travelogue is of Uttaranchal – high mountains, poverty; the second travelogue is of Switzerland – high mountains, prosperity. What can Uttaranchal learn from 4 Switzerland? I do believe these travelogues provide the answer far better than any Economics textbook. Rathi Ravi edited the manuscript, and deserves much praise for fixing the tenses. I kept messing up. There is not much to say about freedom. Its eternal truths have been obscured by the complicated ‘theories’ of people like Marx and Keynes. I hope readers will appreciate the simplicity with which I present my arguments here. Simplicity will ensure that these ideas become common knowledge. When voters know what policies to vote for we will be well governed and free; and not led astray by ignorant and corrupt demagogues. Onwards to a free India – and then, a free world.

THE WHO You gotta change your evil ways, And every word that I say is true. CARLOS SANTANA There are but two ways by which we human beings can survive in this world (if we exclude beggary): the first is by working hard in the market economy and earning one's livelihood; the second is by stealing, by theft, or plunder - living off other people. My question is simple: Which is good, and which evil? Which should we encourage, and which should we try and stifle? Obviously my reader will have the answer quite pat. She will indeed wonder how I have begun a volume of ostensibly serious essays with such a stupid question. She will say that the tendency to work and support oneself is good, and should be encouraged; while the tendency to live off others is evil, and should be firmly put down. Now, if this truth is all so self- evident, then how come we have adopted a socialist constitution that does the very opposite? Nehru instituted what Rajaji famously called the 'license-permit-quota raj' which 9 fettered enterprise in every way possible. Under socialism, for over 50 years now, it is the spirit of enterprise that has been stifled, and a strong, centralised state set up from which loot was distributed amongst the people. "Amongst the people?" my reader will ask. Yes, dear reader, amongst the people, for socialism combines with democracy to spread loot amongst the people. Is not my reader getting something or the other free, or subsidised? Cheap kerosene, cheap power, free water, subsidised food from 'ration shops', college degrees at 15 rupees fees a month - less than the cost of a coffee at Barista's? Of course, the people get cheated in all this plunder, for it is the politico-administrative elite that make off with most of the money. How does socialism, such a great ideology, a word that stirs the soul of millions, and democracy, that other great God, when put to work on the ground together, end up as such an ugly spectacle of universal plunder? Very simple, really. Let us examine the twin processes by which socialist democracy works: at the level of socialism, the freedom to earn one's livelihood is suppressed, a strong state established, and a political economy ushered in wherein the State is the fount of all patronage: for all our needs, for all our woes, for every kind of little permission or license, even for land to build a house on, we must go to the State. The elite personnel of the State love all this, and quickly realise that, with the enormous powers of patronage they possess, combined with economic clout - the State at the 'commanding heights of the economy' - they are in a position to cultivate political clientele: from crony industrialists to 'vote banks'. 10 This is when democracy kicks in: and the political leaders then woo the masses with freebies: Hey! You too share in the loot! I will encourage you to vote for me by promising you something free or subsidised! If you have no land, I will steal land from landlords and give it to you. If you have no house, I will pass laws that will entitle tenants to steal their landlords’ property. I will give you cheap cooking fuel, cheap rice, cheap education - and what not. Of course, these freebies and subsidies are paid for by other people, and in this manner, all the people become used to living off plunder; while at the same time they are unable to make money in the free market because of restrictions imposed by the State. This is the precise condition we Indians are in, and there is only one way out: we must consign socialism to the dustbin of history and usher in a free market. We must see it as an evil ideology that encourages the worst in Man, while stifling the best. We must also see the warts in democracy and realise that, without a free market by which we can earn our keep, an empty vote is meaningless. I cannot open a beer bar in my basement, but I can vote: what good is the vote to me? Tribals in the jungles of central India can vote but they cannot sell their lovely drink – mahua. What good is the vote without the free market? Illiberal democracy, we Indians must now see, is a very bad system of government. The way to destroy evil is to first recognise it. Once it is seen that political largesse is loot, upright citizens must desist from partaking in it. When we tell the State that we want nothing from it except the rule of law, then only will democracy ring true in our country. So, dear citizens, recognise the socialist state as evil incarnate, and stop begging before it. That is the way to get rid of loot. 11 And, let history note, Jawaharlal Nehru was Evil Incarnate. 861 words 12 2.TRUTH! “All I want is some truth now, Just give me some truth now.” John Lennon Q: Why must truth be placed on the highest seat? A: Because if anything else was placed on the highest seat it would be a lie, and a lie cannot be placed on the highest seat. DIALOGUES OF GIORDANO There are many people who believe that, in Economics, there is nothing called ‘truth’. They hold that there are many ‘fads’ in Economics and, just as ‘planning’ was a fad in the 50s, so is the free market a fad today. Who knows, they say, maybe planning will be back in vogue 50 years hence? There are many respectable economists who hold such a view. When I worked for The Economic Times, I was shocked to find a senior editor expressing such an opinion. Those who believe in liberty and the free market need not fear that all they are armed with are empty ‘theories’ that are out of touch with reality.

  • Alcohol Consumption in Litres Per Capita (Age 15+)
    OECD Health Statistics 2021 Definitions, Sources and Methods Alcohol consumption in litres per capita (age 15+) Annual consumption of pure alcohol in litres, per person, aged 15 years old and over. Notes: Most countries typically provide sales data as a proxy for consumption, as indicated in the methodology provided below. Caution should thus be used in interpreting the data. - Methodology to convert alcoholic drinks to pure alcohol may differ across countries. Typically beer is weighted as 4-5%, wine as 11-16% and spirits as 40% of pure alcohol equivalent. - See the summary table at the end of this document for details by country on tourist consumption, cross-border trade, unrecorded/illicit consumption, conversion factors and population data. The WHO Global Information System on Alcohol and Health (GISAH) (accessed on 22 June 2021, with data updated from 2000 onwards) has been used as a source for several OECD countries (see detailed list below). Database available at https://apps.who.int/gho/data/node.gisah.A1039?lang=en&showonly=GISAH. Other countries have supplied data directly. WHO GISAH methodology: - Recorded alcohol per capita (15+) consumption of pure alcohol is calculated as the sum of beverage-specific alcohol consumption of pure alcohol (beer, wine, spirits, other) from different sources. The first priority in the decision tree is given to government statistics; second are country-specific alcohol industry statistics in the public domain (Canadean, IWSR-International Wine and Spirit Research, OIV- International Organisation of Vine and Wine, Wine Institute, historically World Drink Trends); and third is the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' statistical database (FAOSTAT).

  • Biochemical Perspective of Alcohol Prohibition in Islam and Implications on Legal Alcohol Content of Drinks in Islamic Countries
    BIOCHEMICAL PERSPECTIVE OF ALCOHOL PROHIBITION IN ISLAM AND IMPLICATIONS ON LEGAL ALCOHOL CONTENT OF DRINKS IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES Ahmad Houri Ali Safadi Natural Science Department, Lebanese American University. Chouran, Beirut 1102 2801. Lebanon. Email: [email protected] Abstract: An analysis of the concepts of intoxication in blood and the required amount of alcohol to reach that level was analyzed from physiological and religious perspectives. Exact value of potentially allowed alcohol concentration was determined. The results indicate a BAC of 0.05% (w/v) as a set level for intoxication. The determined pure alcohol amount required to reach this level was 27 g (for a 70 kg female) at least. Accordingly, the determined allowed alcohol concentration is 0.45% (w/v) for what would be considered non- intoxicating. This was compared to published results regarding the reported alcohol content of various foods and drinks. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to allow for variation in the considered BAC and the corresponding alcohol concentration in drinks. An analysis of alcohol content in various cooked foods showed an interesting spread in the alcohol content. A review of set legal limits in some Islamic countries is recommended. Keywords: Intoxication, BAC, alcohol concentration, drink, food, sensitivity analysis. Abbreviations: ADH : Alcohol dehydrogenase ALDH : Aldehyde dehydrogenase BAC : Blood alcohol concentration g : Gram L : Liter mg : Milligram w/v : Weight to volume ratio w/w : Weight to weight ratio SI : International System of Units Ar-Raniry: International Journal of Islamic Studies Vol. 3, No. 2, December 2016 | 249 (www.journalarraniry.com) Ahmad Haouri: Ali Safadi: Biochemical Perspective of Alcohol A.
