NEW DELHI: The government breathed easy after Baba Ramdev 's protest at Ramlila grounds wound up with his march to Parliament and subsequent arrest.When Baba Ramdev's agitation against black money was launched last year, it took the political class by surprise. It drew crowds and there was a narrative of 'martyrdom' in the way the government allegedly went after him, his aide Balkrishna and his 180 registered companies with tax notices. Tax evasion notices and a Scottish island donated to Ramdev by a disciple became part of this lore.In this hurly burly, the minutiae of Ramdev's prescription for a corruption-free society and how this could be achieved was obscured. There are some very specific ways in which Ramdev says India can be made corruption free. The first and foremost, listed on his official website is the withdrawal and demonetization of high denomination 500 and 1,000 notes. According to Ramdev, "when 80 crore people in our country get only 20 a day, what is the need for such high denomination notes?" He maintains that withdrawal of these notes would arrest easy transport of money for hawala, black money and bribery: Smaller notes would lead to an unwieldy bulk while transporting bribe money, discouraging corruption.His second prescription is death penalty for those charged with corruption, like in China. Those convicted of scams get five-star treatment in India, he alleges. "If India wants to be a superpower like China, then black money stashed abroad should be brought back to the country and spent on the Army," he said in his speech on August 10 at the Ramlila Maidan. According to his calculations, every district in the country would have at least 60 crore at its disposal if India's black money was returned.Ramdev has specified ways to prevent unaccounted money from going into tax havens. "We should monitor and disrupt payment gateway servers which enable corrupt people to manage money in tax havens," he said at his rally. He also wanted banks like Switzerland's UBS to be prevented from doing business in India.Abolishing the Land Acquisition Act, imparting education in Indian languages and directly electing the Prime Minister of India, since, "history has shown that an indirectly elected prime minister is busy safeguarding his chair," are some of his other suggestions, according to his Bharat Swabhiman website. The opposition's support and the crowds that thronged Ramlila grounds may have the government worried though. His economics may not make sense, but his politics seems to be targeted.
