January 18, 2017 Shri Arun Jaitley Union Finance Minister 134, North
January 18, 2017 Shri Arun Jaitley Union Finance Minister 134, North Block, Ministry of Finance New Delhi – 110001 Subject: Consideration of ICT Duties in Budget Season Dear Honorable Minister: As the 2017 budget season approaches, India’s political leadership will make decisions on import duties that have an important impact on the nation’s business climate. Against this backdrop, our members, representing the most innovative information and communications technology (ICT) companies in the world, would like to highlight the value of a stable and predictable tariff regime. While many countries around the world continue to lower import duties on ICT products, India has in recent years raised duties multiple times on a wide array of ICT items. These actions undermine business confidence on two counts. Not only do higher duties make it more expensive to manufacture and sell products, but the unexpected imposition of new fees creates a destabilizing sense of uncertainty. Companies find it harder to plan for the future when faced with the prospect that operating costs could rise unexpectedly. This makes it difficult to justify expanded investments in facilities and staff. For example, last year’s unexpected increase in ICT customs duties raised input costs by up to 10 percent for many technology suppliers. The fee increase followed an earlier unexpected round of duty hikes on ICT products in 2014, including on Information Technology Agreement products. While we applaud the government’s decision to repeal some of the 2016 levies, many ICT duties remain in effect. In short, our members have major concerns over the future direction of tariffs, when they will change, and how those changes will impact their ability to invest in India. -

E-Digest on Ambedkar's Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology
Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology An E-Digest Compiled by Ram Puniyani (For Private Circulation) Center for Study of Society and Secularism & All India Secular Forum 602 & 603, New Silver Star, Behind BEST Bus Depot, Santacruz (E), Mumbai: - 400 055. E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com Page | 1 E-Digest - Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology Preface Many a debates are raging in various circles related to Ambedkar’s ideology. On one hand the RSS combine has been very active to prove that RSS ideology is close to Ambedkar’s ideology. In this direction RSS mouth pieces Organizer (English) and Panchjanya (Hindi) brought out special supplements on the occasion of anniversary of Ambedkar, praising him. This is very surprising as RSS is for Hindu nation while Ambedkar has pointed out that Hindu Raj will be the biggest calamity for dalits. The second debate is about Ambedkar-Gandhi. This came to forefront with Arundhati Roy’s introduction to Ambedkar’s ‘Annihilation of Caste’ published by Navayana. In her introduction ‘Doctor and the Saint’ Roy is critical of Gandhi’s various ideas. This digest brings together some of the essays and articles by various scholars-activists on the theme. Hope this will help us clarify the underlying issues.
