I got this link from Ashish Kakkad's FB wall. Very true... Urvishbhai..any thought of development should have 'the citizens' at the centre of its concept. The cost incurred for this development is in any case from the tax paid by the citizen... so why the entry fee.
As for the case of kankaria... either ways.. the so called high profile people who can afford the entry fee at kankaria will on any day prefer to go to the so called elite Rajpath club than come to a simple humble place like kankaria. the sad part it now the poor and the lower class of the society got robbed off thier place of outing with the introduction of the entry fee at kankaria.

Well conceived n well written piece. Thanks for bringing this to discussion. The law has become the kept of law-makers. Its always enacted for the wrong reasons.
1. If you can't communicate the importance of an issue, say road safety-helmets-driving rules; make a law & punish them!
2. If you have a smart political strategy, make a law to suit your power game. Like, to support your neo-liberal policies you need justification? Make voting compulsory. (because urban elites otherwise don't vote)
3. If you want to help corporate companies and land sharks (for your legitimate cut-backs), bring ammendments to law; free agricultural lands and allow SEZs to acquire lands from Govt n villagers.
4. If you want to further your communal ideology, make a law against religious conversion.

Perticularly in Guj, Modi thinks he is not above the law; he is THE law!

My cousin Advocate at HC with his friend were trying to helping from an apartment demolished due to earthquaqe (2001) somewhere in Jivraj Park. They both were were wearing traditional Muslim formal dress with cap. The faces he red on quake-victims narrated with emotion of harmony (sound legacy) of co-existence. He narrated this experience to another High Court colleague who narrated that out of harmony clash of civilization led market of fascism and cycle of 2002-pogrom to be maseehah of polarized society gifted by the then Congress-fulled leadership who developed Don out of tea-boy of a gambling den. Political elite of Congress & BJP both are hand-in-gloves for dividing Ahmedabad and Gujarat society. Industrialists in new area are not worried about Muslim Rickshaw driver but their industries are suffering due to absence of technical menpower.

આપણી સરકાર ની માનસીકતા દલા તરવાડી જેવી છે. વાડી રે વાડી બે ચાર રીંગણા લઊ ની જેમ સરકાર અનીતિ આચરી ને પછી પોતાની વાત ને Justification આપવા બંધારણના પાયા માં બે – ત્રુત્યાંસ બહુમતિની કુહાડી મારે છે.

Dear Urvishbhai,

I agree with you that there should not be entry fees for public place like Kankaria. But we have no choice.

We, Indian (including ME) are basically socially-irresponsible mass. This includes all , irrespective of caste, creed, education-level or income-level. Just visit any public park at 10PM on any Sunday. Despite a lot of dust-bins are place all around, you will find garbage like pieces of news-papers, plastic bags etc. every where. The entry fees at Kankaria at-least restrict the repeating users and also provides necessary funds to the administration for keeping the place clean. Unfortunately, we want everything without paying its price or taking any any responsibility.

We require to be more responsible in our social behaviour.
