Rs.5 Coin - 150 Years of Income Tax - Very Strange Legend Glorifying British Rule

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-02-26/india/28636510_1_improvement-in-tax-administration-income-tax-direct-taxes

This Rs. 5 Coin carries a very bizarre legend which states

" 150 YEARS OF BUILDING INDIA "
This is very strange as from 1860 ( when Income Tax was first introduced by the British Colonial Masters ) till 1947 India was an enslaved country. How could British be BUILDING INDIA ( from 1860 to 1947 ). The British were , in fact LOOTING INDIA.

Income Tax was , in fact , introduced by the British to compensate the British Govt. for the massive expenses incurred by them for suppressing , most brutally the Revolt ( First War of Independence ) of 1857 ( SURELY NOT BUILDING INDIA - as the Coin states )

Why do we use the word RETURNS for our Income tax details submitted  ?

The answer lies in the situation prevailing in British India in 1860.

Before the Revolt of 1857 , East India Company officials were most corrupt. In the Reforms introduced by the British Crown administration every British official RETURNING to England had to submit details of the property he had acquired during his stay in India ( Hence , the word RETURN ) Robert Clive , Warren Hastings had acquired millions by looting Indians ( Back in England , they were derisively called "NABOBS '
) "
Lastly , why s there an image of the great Mauryan Philosopher , Chanakya on this coin . What has the great Chanakya got to do with 150 years of Income Tax ? ) Chanakya would have advised kicking out the British
There has been a demand that this Coin be withdrawn from circulation as it insults the Indian Freedom Struggle by glorifying the British Rule ( who surely were not BUILDING INDIA )

Convert Old Upper Ganges Canal ( Haridwar to Roorkee ) in to a National Heritage ( Museum )

Convert the abandoned old section of the Upper Ganga  ( Ganges )Canal ( from Har-Ki - Pauri, Haridwar to Roorkee ) in to a sort of national heritage museum- thinkers of Jalandhar discussed animatedly.

This section ,originally constructed around 1850  by the East India Company , was at that time the biggest canal system ever undertaken. It was and still is an engineering marvel It has aqueducts , super passages , massive sluice gates  , spillways etc. There are  massive "lion statues " guarding the canal , near Roorkee.

The Solanii aqueduct near Roorkee, apart from being an engineering marvel has the distinction of having first ever Steam Engine ( before the Bombay line ) actively operating in India to ferry massive amounts of earth required for raising the level of the canal 's course.

But. presently , this old section of the beautiful canal is in dis use and a new canal course has been constructed parallel to the old canal. The old canal is  in a very pitiable condition. It is neglected and open to vandalism.

It should , immediately , be declared a  'National Heritage  "  and suitably preserved. It can , also , be developed in to an attractive tourist designation.

Further , aqua  riverine life like the great Indian Gharial , which once was abundant in the Ganga  and which is now threatened can be introduced in some sections of this great canal.
