PAIN AND GAIN OF DEMOCRACY...PART 1

       AAP will form the Government. Arvind Kejriwal, will be the next C.M. of Delhi State. The phenomenal rise of this common man validates the story of phoenix rising up from ashes. Those leaders who challenged Arvind Kejriwal to join politics must repent their challenge. They have not only joined Politics but have won the seats, that could make them to form their Government at Delhi. 

                      Rahul Gandhis, Pranav Mukharjees, Kapil Sibbals, Manish Tiwaris, Digvijay Singhs and Chidambarams, who failed largest ever people's movement for Jan-Lokpal two years ago, must pay now. They very cleverly finished the Jan-Lokpal movement. They fooled Anna Hazare and his team which included Arvind Kejriwal via Parliament. They arrested Baba Ramdev and played games with his disciples. But these idiots forgot that they are not God and their rule is not perpetual. They are part of system where they can be booted out without they even knowing it.If Indira Gandhi could not be spared, these little pigmies can not even withstand the beginning of blowing of wind of change.

             Arvind Kejriwal and his AAP team, has shown that they can and they will, in fact imitating the Barak Obama in reality. Primarily it seems that they are trapped by Congress, but slowly if one considers the actions of AAP it seems that they were more than prepared for such an eventuality.

             Since the largest Political party, BJP, chose to stay out of forming Government, as second largest party AAP was given chance to form Government. Taking Referendum by AAP is one of the most shrewd move by AAP as now they can straight away say that they formed government as people of Delhi wanted them to do so. If Congress on any ground withdraws support, it will become villain in eyes of Delhi people.

           Congress is in fix over the support as they might have to bear the heat of the administrative action initiated against them by AAP Government. Besides they ca not withdraw their support mid-way, not definitely before General Elections, due in the month of April-May 2014. Till then if AAP finds the things get going in Delhi, Congress will be in deep trouble. In all that case Congress is he looser. It would have been more prudent on part of Congress to have kept their mouth shut after election results and watched the game of BJP & AAP. As they were never mandated to form any kind of Government at all.

This wisdom has downed upon Congress of late and hence the drama of some Congressmen showing their difference of opinion over the support to AAP and some workers are going against their own Party's stand. Such situation is making Congress a laughing stock.They may be creating a ground for withdrawal of support at a later stage, people know and understand their gimmicks. Which will damage them further. Its time now for them to keep quiet.



            This new political ideology and method could suffocate our present politicians and could ring a death-bell for the system they have so meticulously built over decades after independence. Initially it seemed that the Congress had put Kejriwal and his AAP on mat, after offering an unconditional support to form Government at Delhi.
            
              Its really very funny and very-very interesting situation. Suppose, if AAP succeeds in Delhi, and if it provides free drinking water and electricity at reduced rates, besides passes Lok-Pal Bill in Delhi and few such other promises, which will end chances for Congress for its near future revival. Besides BJP will also repent for their refusal to form one of the  safest government to form. As no party including Congress could not ever think of becoming a party responsible to trigger fall of government and declaration of fresh elections in the Sate of Delhi, in the General Election year. So BJP has also lost chance to say its mind and heart and now pray to the GOD that, this does not become their big mistake. Success of AAP will spell doom for Congress as well as BJP.

                  Future could be very dangerous  for BJP as AAP has made its mind clear about its entry into Gujarat, heavily guarded fortress of Gujarat BJP captained by Narendra Mody.

(To be Finished)

NAXAL PROBLEM....!!!

   Naxal problem has once again come into limelight. This time after the deadly attack on the political leaders of Congress in Chhatisgarh. Around 27 persons, mostly Congressmen were killed. One of leaders, Mahendra Karma, who had started anti-naxalite movement in Naxal hit areas, was killed very brutally. The attack was very well planned and executed with precision. It was for the first time that the attack by Naxals has taken place on political leaders.

Media, in particular, electronic media, which is not independent and completely biased, is systematically trying to raise temper by showing that force will be needed to counter the naxal problem. It is surprising that the naxal problem has been looked to as problem of vote bank, problem of mining industry, problem of security and some of them do not hesitate to level it to the terrorist problem.

These are poor landless people, whose land has been grabbed by the politicians in collaboration with the people who tried to raise their voice against the ruthless and senseless group which has been trying with concerted effort to snatch these poor laborers. These officials are are hand-in-glove with the Government officials. They are all eying their land, so that land sharks can emit these people from here grab their land and use it to extract minerals from this mineral rich land and earn huge profits.

Instead of giving them good services, like hospitals, schools and other facilities like road, industries etc., why they would turn naxalite themselves. Look at the States which have done excellent all-round development. Why the poor and backward people of such States should ever lay their hands on arms and ammunition.

Look at the social media and even at the other medias, except that electronic media, people are cool at the death of the people in Chhatisgarh. though it may sound little harsher, but the truth is that the entire political leadership hardly earns any sympathy from general public in India these days. One must remember that the person living in cities and having some resources to sustain will not raise his hands with weapons. Since they have home, family and money to sustain their day to day needs. they with some levels of ups and downs and sometimes with compromise also will continue with the hope that the future will be bright. They will perhaps not be worried for their children. 

They know that rising prices has already killed his future planning and understands whatever happening around will take away big share in form of corruption and varying levels of inflation, he feels secured, though utopian, but does not think of fighting against the system. Does not think of picking up weapons, though many times he really feels so when on a day a new scam surfaces and people responsible for it gives it a cold shoulder.

But these people have nothing to cherish about. Their children grow up in jungles as there is not a school, their wives give birth to her child on the road, as there is not even a primary health centre, forget a full fledged hospital. His only possession was land, handed over to him by his father & forefathers.  this land was just his source of livelihood and that is snatched. His backwardness is the cause that no one hears his cries in the corridors of power.He is consistently ignored. He feels alone and helpless. Then he finds that he is not alone. there are others who have faced the similar fate. They unite against their own people who have wronged them. This union gets them on the other side of the law, but they have little choice and little options.

One thing that comes to mind is that Naxals were killing police people for so many times. But no Congress Prime Minister ever went to console the famalies of policemen who had died performing their duties. Now when the politicians have been killed, entire Government machinery has landed in vicinity of the ground zero. It shows they are so sensitive about their own class. If the people from their class gets affected, they will fly into the area, but when the policemen who die doing their duty, no body is ever bothered. 

PM must have had little sense prevailed before he wowed to fight the naxals.  He was wrong and ill prepared for such reaction. PM should have pulled up state Governments for not doing their bit for the Naxal areas. Instead of trying to gauge the actual problem correctly, he tried to simply blame the Naxals for the violence. 

he solution to the problem will take years after the efforts to solve started. As the problem has prolonged little longer than it should have. Thee is no reason to blame our neighbors for helping Naxals, because it ourselves, who have ignored our problem at home and tried to solve problems of the world. We are not a perfect society and democracy has its drawbacks, but theu mst be worked on and not delayed for decades. Such delays could decay the whole issue and then rotten could smell bad , the one such smelt in Chhatisgarh.

ECONOLITICS>>>>>>>>PART 2

Continued....Part 2

        If the entire gamut of the events are checked and if they are tried to be understood, it can be summarized in the shortest possible terms as childish mismanagement of the country. The country is in the hands of those who are neither ready for the rule nor have basic inclination of serving the society and working for the people's welfare. Their first and the foremost task is to amass the wealth for themselves and their nears and dear ones, since they are not sure of coming back to power or hold the same post of power they are holding right now. The reason is obvious and they themselves know it very well.

                     The Indian National Congress as established under the vivid leaders, like Gandhiji, Nehru, Sardar Patel, Maulan Azaad and many leaders who dreamed Indian independence and these leaders always advocated the self-reliance. The Indian freedom struggle is side stepped now. The history if not repeating itself then at least we are watching the same events which led to slavery are developing slowly. Manmohan Singh will not be forgot and even forgiven for what he is doing to the economic fiber of this country. His Government is perhaps breaking everything which is built over years of hard work under socialism. The gem of Public Sector units are being sold of under the disguise of disinvestment.

A systematic ploy is developed by few, to grab these units at a cheaper prices than they are and the benefits goes to those traitors, who have the power to sell these units off at a cheaper prices to big corporate houses. The matter does not end there. These corporate houses are bigger cheaters, as they sell their stake into these once a public sector gems to some foreign corporates after slicing off their profits. So the big units made with the money of the government under the idea to help Indian masses, go into the foreign hands without much fuss about it. The bigger problem is that Indian common man looks at these unfolding of events helplessly. Because he has right to vote just for once every five years and those elected go merry for 5 years, without bothering about who voted for him and why was he entrusted to represent him in the Parliament.

The INC, which fought British capitalism is more than eager to bring the same big profit hungry, monsters from foreign countries. So the actual profit which should be of Indian will be siphoned off by these foreign corporates.

Under the FDI the same government is trying to bring these types of corporates.This is perhaps bigger cheating and bigger crime than even a mass murder carried out by Ajmal Kasab during Mumbai attack in November 2008.

Do we really need foreign investments? Do really need FDI ? Is the FDI the only way out of the need for Capital investments?

It is an open challenge to any economic expert from the government seeking to push for FDI for further economic development of the country.  Which can be put forward in utmost simple words that the capital can be generated locally with little foresight and national pride. The government can gain billions of rupees from its own people. the largest part of the savings which people used to make remains untapped.


Why interest on savings rates are so less?

If the government raises interest rates on the savings, people will be more than interested in saving their surplus money. These funds can be lend by banks to invested in huge infrastructure projects by genuine government agency, or even some reputed corporate houses, like L & T, Tata, etc., which works as the bridge between banks who have funds and the infrastructure projects executors which require liquidity.

One complete these projects will earn back the money they have borrowed from the Banks and Banks will give good return on the savings attracting more excess funds floating in the money market. Lowering of Cash Reserve Ratio will ease the liquidity crunch in the liquidity market, easing off the financial crisis faced by the corporate houses for starting new business ventures. The Reserve Bank, worried about the inflationary pressure due to increased liquidity supply in the money market can direct the Banks to more vigilant in the projects in which the banks are lending excess funds, received from increased savings and eased cash reserve ratio.

The UPA Government has set all national priorities wrong. People do not need car to travel as the standard of roads is too bad at the same time,  public transport is well placed, only needs some fine tuning here and there. Boosting car sale and related policies have adverse impact on the oil import bill. Finance Minister, P.C., needs to update his knowledge that when he thinks putting ban on import of gold, as it becomes a dead investment, why to allow so many car manufactures in the country, where we cannot afford to import petroleum products.

People now has access to more than one SIM card for their mobile phones and now they prefer multi-SIM card phones. But they find it hard to eat vegetables in their meals and fruits once a day. Electronics items like LED TVs are launched simultaneously with that the markets of South Korea and Japan and even USA, but do have the similar health facilities and social security facilities of these countries here in India? Opinions may differ but the point is are we really ready to be there when plenty of ground work remains to be done before reaching there!

Government is actually slowly taking its hands off you and me and the entire population. By bringing in FDI in retail sector, aviation sector and insurance sector at one go and selling its share in Public Sector Units, government is pulling its hand and leaving everything to market forces. It has done so in many sectors. Perhaps few of them required such an action but does the same pill can be useful in different deceases. This is bankruptcy of policy imaginations.  It thinks the market will decide everything in the free economic conditions. How it will do if billions of Rupees are siphoned off by the public servants, ministers. 

It is really interesting to understand that the inflation will come under control with the rise in foreign currency reserves and drop in dollar prices, due to FDI. As with Rupee will be in demand and dollar will be thrown to purchase Rupee to invest in local markets, could make dollar cheaper and consequently it may bring the oil bill down a bit besides other imports, but that can not be sustained in the long run. Any rise in prices in international markets can push oil prices up and negating the benefits of increased dollar supply and reduced cost of imports, mainly oil in the Indian market, pushing up inflation once again. 

This was the case when the investment was allowed through the participatory notes in Indian Share Market. Markets boomed, leading to high profit earned by the shareholders of many companies. They earned huge profit by selling their shares to Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs). This profit was diverted into local estate market and brought one of the greatest ever boom in estate and construction industry. Those who entered the market and booked their profit by exiting after some time, earned huge profits. Who stayed there for longer were losers as the economic recession in USA and Europe required funds there, which were parked in India. 

What these so-called experts needs to understand is the basic needs of the farmers to satisfy and to help them increase their produce and not the market to sell their products. What will they sell if they have nothing to grow. Will the Walmart build dams, canals produce fertilizers at a price which is affordable?

There are many questions and lesser answers. The economic reforms in India have failed and for past 22 years people of India has not experienced any improvement in their life. Never expect to improve either, as whenever WB, IMF and are involved in economic recovery, people suffer and rich becomes richer. IT IS THEIR BASIC FORM OF REFORMS EVERY WHERE IN THE WORLD. EVERYBODY EXCEPT P.M. MANMOHAN SINGH, F.M. P. CHIDAMBARAM, P.C. CHIEF MONTEKSINGH, KNOW THIS FACT.

SPACE FASCINATES ME....BUT......

                ...sometimes it confuses me also. When I was young, around 16 years, always loved to accompany dad, who was posted in Nashik as a Deputy Engineer with MHADA. He also liked my joining him in my young days and his lonely days. As mother and Kavan stayed back at Mumbai. 

               During such my visits to Nashik, Dhule, Malegaon, I used to get best ever chance to sleep out in the open, as my such visits were always used to be in summer vacations.

              While lying on bed in the open, under the night sky, I always wondered about its size and the gigantic nature of outer space, while dad discussed their projects with the other civil engineers. It used to be clear night skies and really enjoyed star gazing in those days. The sources of information on space were very limited but used to read mainly from the magazines and watching television. Unlike today, we can go and read and get any information we actually want at press of button. 

            The ineterest then was just limited in recognizing and differentiating between stars and planets. I could not afford a telescope then and considering my level of knowledge and interest not even today, the one which could satisfy my needs.

             There is lot of information with respect to space now. NASA on its web site posts some of the most spectacular pictures taken by Hubble telescope, which no telescope is capable of taking. There were few such stunning pictures were just released by NASA taken by Hubble telescope under the title XDF i.e., Extreme Deep Field. Picture adjoining hereby is one of those category. Taken of few galaxies forming, at distance of 12.3 billion Light Years away. (One must understand that while considering the outer space issues, time = distance) Our Universe is believed to have formed 12.7 billion years ago.

Now this has to be understood with logical deduction (theory) and it sounds very interesting, gigantic and stunningly difficult to understand its vastness and mammoth nature of material, space and time involved. This adjoining picture shows colorful dots, of different sizes are galaxies in various stages of formation about 12.3 Billion light years away from Earth. The light which emanates from these galaxies have reached us after 12.3 Billion light years. 

It means these galaxies in their different stages of formation are logically pictured just after 300 to 400 million years immediately following the big bang subsequent to which we believe to have formed our own Universe. 

Now from here it could be further deduced that with further more efforts we can go farther simultaneously back into the time, by another 300 to 400 million years and perhaps even could witness actual big bang happening at a distance of 12.7 billion years. Again wish to remind that the time= distance. 

So whats the point? 

The point is that scientists are logically imagining witnessing actual happening of Big Bang. It could be an event just happening there, from our mother earth. For this we must understand that the light travels at a speed of 297600 Km/s, which is the thumb rule for calculating distance in the space. Hence the light which comes traveling from those distant galaxies has actually emanated 12.3 billion years ago. Going further on that point, if we still try and find out galaxies little farther, perhaps another 300 to 40 million light years farther, we might actually witness the Big Bang happening there live.  We might not have to wait for such a news coming our way in the next 3 to 4 years. 

One thing which I wish to repeat here again is that the entire scientific fraternity believes that Universe was formed by a big bang nearly 12.7 Billion years ago. And what we see and take pictures now is what happened 12.3 billion years ago. So the light which started its travel 12.3 Billion years ago have reached us today here. Further simplifying it means what we see today is what happened there 12.3 Billion years ago. Hence with little more efforts we can perhaps see the actual Big Bang taking place and Universe getting formed.

                              Now the main point of confusion, why we always go into past? We may perhaps be watching our future, what it could look like after 12.3 billion years. The light emanating from 12.3 billion years, may not be our past but could be our future as well. People may argue that since the universe is just 12.7 billion years old how could one see the next 12.3 billion years. in such a case the age of the universe should be around 25 billion years.! Additionally in that case we ought to be in the exact middle of the Universe, which we are not sure.   That's the first part.

The point raised herein above about our position in the Universe, we do not exactly know where is our Milky-way galaxy situated in our own Universe, as we perhaps do not have the exact map of Universe and that process is going and might take years. Its very simple logically as to where we are placed in the Universe, will decide whether we are looking at the past or our future. (Perhaps a very good point for creating another Star Wars tiology..!!)

          Scientific community are doing a great job. There are events when they themselves have ridiculed themselves as happened it case of Planet Pluto. We learned since our childhood that Pluto was the last planet of the Solar system, then one day the world scientific congress decided to struck off poor Pluto from the favored list. Hence all scientific theories are created with the support of assumptions, ifs and buts. 

Looking at the picture we can hardly see our Sun in our own Galaxy, the Milky-way. We are not yet sure about the center of our galaxy of what it is formed. We assume due to various reasons that our milky-way galaxy has a very powerful black-hole at its center, which prevents us to look on the other side of our galaxy. The black-hole perhaps is approximately 25000 light years away from Earth and is covered with thick gases and such other particles, which prevents even light from coming out of the center of the Galaxy, Milky-way. Hence we can not see beyond the center of our own galaxy.

Such events confuses me...and it still confuses me....but I know that those think, question. Some thing more on this next time with some more such write ups.
