So the red tape has moved online. There is no escape to government owned bullshit.
rohan_shah··on Does Your Poop Float?
Scientifically speaking, everything is wrong in that article.

But they hold lived experience as a true source of knowledge. They say that there is a invisible thing which is the consciousness or purusha which we cannot accept as matter is everything according to modern science.

So understand the whole system, try it out and see if floating poop actually makes you feel better and more productive at work!

Hey! I'm the author and here's the clarification:

That was the official response I got from the district administration so had to post it. Also was being pressured by the government (indirectly) to take it down. So that was all bs. Next update I'll give is when I will have solved the problem.

Author of the article here:

All the land in India is agricultural by default. Except in some desert states.

rohan_shah··on Apple asks suppliers to shift AirPods, Beats production to India
This statement makes no sense. You're putting out political opinions on the lives of people without any idea of the reality.

The caste system was a part of India but every Government since independence has made attempts and continues to make everything possible to make the lives of the historically lower castes better off.

Not to mention India was forced to become a USSR ally because the USA had sent their aircraft carrier in a India Pakistan war to support the Pakistan side. And then the USSR sent their aircraft carrier in India's defence.

Hi Wincy, Sorry to drop my comment here without any scientific evidence or any such certification of experience.

But I had a similar condition in my childhood. Many doctors thought it was some form of complicated asthama or something but couldn't figure out what exactly was it.

Then my parents put me in an breathing camp (yoga retreat kind of thing). I was there for six months and we were convinced there that breathing is life. Breathing is the most important thing in and for life. And slowly, the condition disappeared.

The condition was more of an impediment in the brain blocking the breathing command when I got upset unlike some incurable damage to the lungs. Just teaching and reminding us to breath every second for six months made things a lot better.

If there's no such camp/retreat in your country, you could try India.

Robots who could replace some manual labour work within a specified area (say: factories), don't need to rely on batteries. We could attach them with a huge wire and plug it into power supply.

rohan_shah··on Ask HN: Will you send your child to Khanacademy instead of a physical school?
So if they want to a class where a teacher was general present but everyone learned through KA while doing interactive activities in between - how about that?
rohan_shah··on Ask HN: Will you send your child to Khanacademy instead of a physical school?
How about a general tutor + KA? So the tutor will take of queries and keep a class full of children interactive - but children will learn maths through KA?

Wow! That's a lot of stuff.

And I agree that these things need to be done. And I am not against it if the people there follow the procedure and do the things that are needed to be done.

But what if one of the people from the government doing the survey/inspection just refuses to sign the paper! It's just crap. You can't complain to anyone nor can you do anything else. You're just stuck.

That's where my problem lies.

rohan_shah··on I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India
Almost all land in India is agricultural land.

There's very little industrial land. And all of that is used.

rohan_shah··on I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India
Great. Hadn't heard of this concept before. But seems perfect to describe the situation.

Thanks.

rohan_shah··on I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India
Wow! Thanks for mentioning the work of Hernando de Soto. I had never heard of the work before but will surely read the book now.

It's great to find out about how it works in Eastern Europe.

My father would have and has always done what you mentioned. Just pay it up and continue. And I agree totally with it.

But anyway due to Covid-19, the construction activity isn't going to start anytime soon. So I ave decided to play it out completely and see how far and deep this mess is.

No, I don't find the amount reasonable because of two reasons:

1) They charge so high because there are few players with so many internal contacts. So this is a monopoly or oligopoly market just taking advantage of the system. I mean it is hard because of these people. These people lobby to keep such systems in place.

2) It is unreasonable for any government, especially in a developing country to make so many demands of the illiterate and poor population. If such a situation continues, poor people will never be able to manufacture anything.

This creates a social division almost alike slaves and masters. Alike the Soviet System of the Elite Aristocrats, Their friends in rich, non-competition businesses and the government and the serfs and peasants.

They don't point to any agent because that person will take a cut into what I could directly pay the beautocrat themselves.

But there are a few visiting cards stuck with glue on the table. Visiting cards of such agents.

rohan_shah··on I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India
There are hardly any lands zoned as "industrial use" in India and all land is agricultural land by default because of the high fertility of land everywhere.
rohan_shah··on I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India
No no no. Electoral bond purchase won't get you you anywhere.

Before the electoral bonds, all political funding happened through cash. Which was more non traceable than the current electoral bonds.

But yes the ideology of the party matters.

Central government is pro business and they have proved it in Gujarat by making it a lot easier to NA land in Gujarat.

State Government (esp. INC) is communist and anti-free-market anti-business party which seeks to create as many hurdles as possible.

My land is beside a MIDC (Sangli Miraj Kupwad MIDC) which has been completely sold out. And I want to build it in Sangli because of the cheap raw material available in Sangli itself.

It's very hard to capture.

All they do is - keep silence. If you understand the cues and pay up yourself, your work will be done otherwise you can keep waiting forever.

rohan_shah··on I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India
The land in the write-up is located beside a highway and trucks don't need to go through any town to get to the unit.

Nor a I trying to build a heavy industry like a smelting plant. I am currently planning to build a warehouse shed which could be later converted into very light manufacturing plant for animal feed pellets or something similar.

Also, there are very few areas zoned as Industrial land. Also, this isn't a random piece of farmland. It's almost a barren land where most people grow grape vines or just some dry land crops like cactus.

rohan_shah··on I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India
I have thought about it many times.

But the problem is everyone knows about this and majority of people think of this is good because they have been brainwashed by communistic ideology and they think that business people are bad and evil and hence they should be controlled and suppressed by all possible means.

rohan_shah··on I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India
It would depend on the product that is being manufactured/imported.

But the whole point of me starting this unit is because I "want" to make it happen in India and not import from China. There is a lot of unemployment in India and hopefully, I want to help a bit.

rohan_shah··on I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India
Sorry I misquoted.

It would require a total of ~15,000$ USD
