D-Company - CSR Report

D-Company : Corporate Social Responsibility Report FY2016

We at D-Company consider all our activities are carried out with social responsibility in mind. Our activities are closely linked to the government policies, namely what is not allowed by the governments or highly regulated by the governments. Since independence, governments have attempted and succeeded in declaring illegal - most common activities of humans since time immemorial - prostitution, substance abuse and gambling. But, people will continue to do so, hence we target our CSR activities in these fields. Since, governments do not allow clean legitimate businesses carrying out these activities, as they do in other parts of the world, the only option remains is we criminals indulge in these activities, for the benefit of common people in India.

Prostitution itself is not illegal; commercial sex workers can solicit clients at their homes. But maintaining places for commercial sex workers is not allowed. So as our CSR activity, we maintain a network of pimps and brothels.This being our public service carried out in view of severe restrictions by the government, there are impediments for us and we cannot take care of cleanliness of brothels, health issues of prostitutes and clients, especially regarding sexually transmitted diseases.

We are awfully happy that after Gujarat, the government of Bihar is going to prohibit alcohol. It gives us great opportunity to serve the people of Bihar by providing spurious liquor at higher rates, and not allowing any revenue stream for the government. We are glad that herbal marijuana continues to be listed among the illegal drugs, in spite of it being non carcinogenic and with no health issues, unlike nicotine. This gives us opportunity to push for chemical narcotics, which are hard core and causes serious injuries, creating drug addicts.

Advanced countries have opened up gambling as legitimate recreational and business activity, thankfully it is not the case in India. Last few years have been good social service on the gambling front, with new avenues such as IPL, for which we opened new satta centers. We have also opened online gambling sites, which act as bookies, for benefit of our netizens. All these are not regulated and we do not give any taxes to the government.  

We still remember our golden days when we used to do smuggling of gold due to import restrictions by governments prior to 1991. Our chaps would smuggle gold in adventurous ways for benefit of our sisters requiring gold for marriages. By allowing common people to legally import gold stopped this CSR activity of ours.

We believe that the governments should continue its restrictions, not present in any civilised country, for us to continue our CSR activities. We would like to thank our government for continuing good policies.

Today's listening pleasure: Don McLean

Don McLean's American Pie is a long fabulous song with the most intriguing lyrics. Every line is simple but it's difficult to understand the references! And it feels like listening to an epic, not getting the story. Enjoy!

C. Rajagopalachari - the forgotten hero

C. Rajagopalachari - the forgotten hero

What does a person do at age of 80 years in year 1957, after providing thought leadership in struggles for independence, being in Gandhiji's words 'my conscience keeper', becoming Governor General of free India, the first Indian after Mountbatten left, becoming home minister after Patel's death, and getting the Bharat Ratna? He enjoys his retirement, spending years writing novels, translating the classics and writing articles in newspapers. And gradually he realizes the path being taken by his friend Jawaharlal, is that of socialism, inspired by the Soviet Union, and against the ideals of the Constitution itself. And then this young man C.Rajagopalachari, or Rajaji as he was called, decides to leave his beloved Congress party, and along with like minded people like Minoo Masani, begins the second freedom struggle of India - 'Swatantra Party movement'. 

Rajaji declares war against, in his coined words 'the license-permit Raj' being created by the socialist policies of Nehru, whereby the government is busy creating a public sector behemoth, and laying obstacles in way of wealth creation by private sector that is getting squeezed by a rampaging bureaucracy. He felt that the Congress party has turned into a stooge of the Communists and there was a need for an effective opposition party which believes in economic independence and in liberal values.

He toured the whole country and built the Swatantra party by convincing people about ideology of liberalism. The party won 45 seats in 1967 general elections and was the single largest opposition party in Loksabha and kept countering the disastrous socialist policies.

The second freedom movement started by Swatantra finally got a ray of hope after 1991 liberalization, but it's still miles to go for real liberty to be achieved.     

Today's listening pleasure - C. Ramchandra

C. Ramchandra was a pioneer and a rebel in Hindi film music, a R.D. Burman of his time. He brought jazz music in his songs and experimented with a variety of western instruments merging their sounds with traditional Indian music.

Look how advanced this song would be at its time (circa 1947), where the male singer asks the female to try some brandy n whisky! Enjoy.
