1. WELCOME THE NEW AGE OF ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE
monotheistic /ISLAMIC/ dharmic ECONOMY FOR BEATING
ECOLOGICALLY HOSTILE, ATHEISTIC, USURIOUS FINANCE
SYSTEM
Invitation for the meeting at Jantar Mantar Footpath
As part of follow up on Stand up Action against Poverty
Movement for Usury Free Ecologically safe Finance System in India
It is the atheistic, usurious ecologically hostile finance system known as capitalism that is
under threat and it is good that the market that had been permitted all the freedom has
shown the way to find out new measures against socially inequitable and ecologically
hostile atheistic finance system. There are bloodbaths taking place across the bourses of
the world. This is good ecologically as the crisis has put a halt to speculative frenzy. Men
and women suffering from this need to be helped with faith based instruments and
requested to be content with subsistence consumption. They need to recall the wisdom in
being thankful to the Almighty for what they have. They need to be suggested to get
ready for pursuing ecologically sustainable livelihoods such as agriculture. Living off
unearned usurious money has proved to be unsustainable and this will remain so in all the
future.
The crisis initiated with the sub-prime crisis in USA has created a domino effect across
the world. Hundreds have lost their lives. Some of the oldest banks have crashed. Money
can no longer be created out of thin air. Money has to be based on commodities and
services and not on the usurious contracts. There cannot the exponential growth in all the
time. The crash was very much envisaged by people like Bernard Lietaer. It was also
sought for protecting the ecologically sustainable habitats, consumption, production and
lands of the farmers. It was sought for halting the expansion of ecologically hostile
habitats created irreverently for leisure, ecologically hostile pleasure and exhibitionist
consumption such as multi-storeyed resorts, hotels, dancing halls, energy intensive
shopping malls, industrial complexes and so on.
This had been clear to people in the Global Justice Movement like Rodney Shakespeare,
Dr.Muhammad Mukhtar Alam, Masudul Hasan Chaudhry, Dan Parker, Peter Challan and
several others. In 2005, Dr.Muhammad Mukhtar Alam in a note the organisers of Global
Call Against Poverty www.whiteband.org had called for an international conference of
all who were presenting alternatives to ecologically hostile finance system. The article
containing the proposition can be seen at http://muhammad_mukhtar_alam.tigblog.org
and www.globaljusticemovement.net along with detailed analysis of the reasons for
transforming the finance sector, description of the movements in India and rest of the
worlds, prescription of the measures for transforming the finance sector and addressing
the hurdles in the path of ecologically safe and socially equitable non-usurious finance
system. Monetary policy measures for reducing poverty such as forgiving debts were

2. appreciated while calling for the elimination of usurious debts. This was based on the
understanding that creation of usurious debts needed to be halted so that countries
seeking debts were not pressurised to enact heavy taxation measures and support markets
in speculation. This was based on the premise for containing greed for unearned money
and socially inequitable and ecologically unsustainable personal wealth.
The approaches included prescription for public control on the creation of money,
cessation of creation of money out of thin year and creation of debt free money. Binary
economists like John Ashford and Rodney Shakespeare have been calling for creation of
interest free money for creation of productive capacity. Stephen Zarlenga, the director of
American Monetary Institute has been working on same in US. Dr. Brahmm Dutt Sharma
initiated Movement for Usury Free India after having direct experience of the poverty
generated through usurious debts. Millions are trapped in usurious debt and thousands
have committed suicides. Share Markets continues to be unpredictable with
unprecedented losses. Enterprises are losing money with unstable value placed on
speculative excesses. Islamic banking is being shown to be the one that has not suffered
the financial crisis and incurred losses. Islamic investment has remained free from the
losses. There indeed are lessons. There are commands against usury in Dhammapada.
Sanskritic monotheistic communicators were all opposed to usury.
It is time to appreciation inter-faith Islamic/monotheistic commons. Both simple and
compound interest has been prohibited across the religions. Barter based rural economy
has been interest free except for usurious lender. In 1934, it was in Bihar that usurious
banking was prohibited legislatively. It was very unfortunate that then Imperial Bank was
excluded from the legislations. We would have a different picture, if the legislation
would have been employed for including even the Imperial Bank.
Now is the time to reconsider the monotheistic banking and transaction and establishing
Islamic standards/dharma/dhamma for the sake of economic and monetary justice.
Usurious finance system has been proved to be ecologically hostile as creation of money
from thin year has severely endangered the sustainability condition of ecologically
sustainable habitats and livelihoods across the country and rest of the world. It is time for
responding to the cries of men and women who are suffering hunger, starvation, loss of
land and livelihoods, violation of human rights, trafficking.
It is time to appreciate that best ‘progress’ lies in getting rid of atheistic denunciation of
faith based communications with reference to the financial transactions , culture of
prayer, donation and other. It is time to get engaged with the best means of persuasion for
usury free India.
It is time to get rid of the intellectual resistance for inter-faith commons. It is to word
actively with all the media organisations, political parties, Reserve Bank of India,
economists. It is time to call the bluff of those who have been seeking deregulation of the
finance system and calling for bailouts through taxpayer’s money. It is time to get in the
monotheistic limits operational for safeguarding to interests of children in 40th century

3. and beyond. It is time to initiate a Movement for Usury free Finance System in India.
