Earn more to spend more.

Recently, budget which was to make sure the smooth functioning of the new government was tabled in the parliament. Mr. Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India and Mr. Arun Jaitely, moved into the parliament with the burden of fulfilling their promises to India and with the budget which was going to anticipate the condition of the nation in this upcoming year. The thumping victory also added much pressure and load on the backs of the duo, but fortunately both Mr. Modi and Mr. Jaitley handled the pressure well, making this budget an affordable budget for the whole of India when fiscal deficit continues to ride high at 4.8% of the total GDP being valued at $88 Billion.

But one thing that needs to be continued is that here in India supply is less and with soaring population the demand is very much high. Today the number of consumers in India have outshined number of producers of various commodities and this phenomenon has paved the root of many evils like inflation, price rise etc. which ultimately shrouds the whole nation in despair. This problem only continues to be the root of various problems which appear out to impede the overall progress of the nation and mars all the achievements achieved by the nation.

The expenditure now has been hiked up from the total availability of funds due to the increasing number of consumers and this leads to increment in the nation’s fiscal deficit which then creates numerous problems and ultimately accumulating a humongous pile of problems.

So the big question here is what needs to be done? India is presently not in a situation to cut its expenditures. The subsidies in various sectors that the government has been providing cannot be rolled back immediately. Sincerely speaking, the nation still continues to have a large number of its population below poverty line and therefore removing subsidies can be a bed of thorns for the government and therefore something else should be done. 

Something else that needs to be done is raising the income. If you can’t cut on expenditures then simply raise the income and that’s what the contemporary government needs to do. Today rather than focussing on abating subsidies the government should rather ponder on improving the business conditions in the nation. Foreign investment and business is one of the most enticing income generating ways. The business doing procedures continue to be the harshest in the whole world. Red tapes corruption etc. tarnish the overall capability of the Indian soil and that’s why today many companies are shifting their destinations from India to countries like China and Brazil and this continues to be a big problem for the whole nation and this ultimately leads to a huge loss of overall money in the possession of the government and now if the new government really wants to ameliorate the condition of India then the government should definitely do something about reducing the red tapes and improving the business doing ease in India.

The best is yet to come.

Germany and India have been bonding under a mutually beneficial relationship for a very long time. Both the nations share a very harmonious and wonderfully great relationship which definitely needs to be taken up ahead.

Now as Mr Narendra Modi, the current Prime Minister of the nation, is supposed to portray amicability and sophistication towards India’s current partners, Germany can be a great spot for Mr. Modi. Due to lack of attention being provided in the past by the previous government, the exemplary pace at which the relationship between the two countries was progress forwards was unfortunately slowed down but now with the new government in centre, which has already started it’s international campaign, it is now expected that Mr. Modi will leave no stone unturned in consoling one of the best friends India has ever had in its history, for good.

Germany for a very long has been a resplendent partner of India in many operations around the world. For machines to military both India and Germany have helped each other a lot and this is pellucid from the profound relationship that both the countries share. Even today, Germany continues to be of great help to India and vice versa. There are many marvellous achievements that both the nations have secured and I believe that the best is yet to come.    

The bilateral relationship between the two countries has achieved a lot in the past. The beautiful relationship that these two countries, Republic of India and Federal Republic of Germany share is truly prepossessing, envy for nations around the world. To understand the deepness and proximity in the feelings of both the nations, we need to jump back to the time of World War II. India was the first nation to end war against Germany and for better, unlike all the other nations, India waived all of its rights to give punishment to Germany and asking for compensation and this led to the foundation of the Indo-German relationships. From then on India became trade partner to the East Germany and West Germany and was one the staunchest supporters of the unification of Berlin in the year 1990 and from the saga of the beautifully crafted relationship between both the great countries with rich civilization and heritage continues.

Contemporarily Germany continues to be biggest trading partner of India in the whole of Europe. Germany is currently the eighth largest foreign investor in India and during the period 2000-2012 it’s FDI totalled 5.2 Billion USD comprising of 3% of the total FDI of whole of the nation. Germany is also a prominent supporter of India in various other fields too.  Germany contributed much to the development in the erection of IIT, Madras after governments of both the nation signed a treaty to help each other advance further in the field of science and technology.  Germany also continues to be the 5^th largest trade partner of India. In the year 2010, the trade volume between the two countries scaled up to €30 billion. Both the countries also enjoy huge cooperation from each other in engineering, telecommunication, food processing, pharmaceuticals and environment technology. Currently Germany and India both, are helping each other in fighting against terrorism and Germany has also supported India’s waiver from Nuclear Suppliers Group to trade nuclear materials and energy.  In 2008, the Indian Navy and the German Navy conducted joint exercises for the first time, following a defence co-operation agreement between the two nations signed in 2006.  India has so far launched seven German satellites into Polar orbits since 1999.

All this shows the depth of the relationship between the two countries and also expresses the need to move ahead taking this relationship forward with great power and prowess and now I can expect that Mr. Modi can do it all for better.

To guide, not to misguide

This 16th Lok Sabha is definitely going to carry some vicissitude from other Lok Sabha that have concluded before. This time a powerful and tough BJP with a very well managed and organised spearheading group, is going to tackle the feeble and fragile opposition which in itself has no leader to lead. But this time the task is also going to take some beating. The newly elected government is here with its all new budget which will make sure whether the denizens will relish in the next year or cry with tears of blood in their eyes. And therefore the task remains too much strenuous and demanding and today the whole of the parliament needs to unite to fulfil the aspirations of the nation which were never even addressed in the last 66 years.

As i just noted down that the whole parliament needs to unite, even I couldn't believe in what I have written. United Parliament is something that the whole nation has been wanting from all over its independence but has never been made to see one. Parties in the parliament continue to rebuke and decry one another and that’s why hitherto the nation has never been given the privilege to see a robust and strengthened parliament which is ready to fight against the curses of the nation on its on with full determination.

Someone once said, “Opposition is not mean to dismantle the government but to debilitate the hurdles in the path of the parliament.” But unfortunately in the India the parliamentarians don’t portray any such good demeanour towards their rival and what’s more is that the opposition does anything it can in order to become a hurdle in the path of the functioning government. Notwithstanding aspiring for the progress and well-being of the government, our opposition tries to hinder the government’s progress as much as it can and at last this just struck my mind that how the BJP government which is at odds with all the opposition parties in the parliament will sustain? How will the Modi government carry out its works and the promises made to the people of the nation in the parliament with such a dirty opposition which placed thousands of tricks in order to restrain Mr. Modi from arriving the 7RCR?

Just as the budget session of the parliament started, Congress blurted out that it will not let the NDA government from performing up to the mark by doing what the previous NDA opposition did. Doesn’t that sound awkward and childish?

 First of all this sound completely beleaguers the current situation of the parliament. People chose the Congress MPs not to put a stop on the progress being done in the nation but to let the progress come with leaps and bounds, but this statement clearly and lucidly shows that the Congress in the opposition is not going to do that. 

The next thing that this statement portrays is the Congress’ fear in the parliament. After being routed completely in the parliament, the Congress opposition wants to again make place in the heart of people of the nation but not by doing something good by themselves but by restraining the BJP government from doing something good for the people of the nation. Such statements from the grand old Indian party which has ruled the whole of the nation for around 60 years, needs to be condemned and I believe that the whole of the party should be condemned for giving such an unworthy and immature statement which can do all harm but no good to the nation.

With the Congress, other opposition parties need to think about that too. Disrupting the proceedings of the house and trying to dislodge the government would never function if these parties really want to work for the well-being of the nation and hence they should also contribute to the making of the nation.

Learning from failed experiment:Indian Railways.

Railways in India carries much more utility than any other amenities being given to the people of the nation but one more thing that’s certain is that the condition of the railway system is also much worse than that of other transport services. Even the tagline of Indian railway reads, “ Lifeline of the nation.”

Today the total length of tracks which span across the whole India is 115,000 km across the whole nation and the no. of passengers travelling every day is almost humongous. Contemporarily Indian railway serves 8,900 million passengers daily. Today so many citizens of the nation are enjoying the facilities of the railway system designed in India but unfortunately the basic design system of the whole of the railways is replete of flaws which continue to mar the total popularity of the whole of the total railway system and deplete the credibility as well as the functioning ability of the whole of the railways.

Recently Mr. Modi, Prime Minister of India proposed to build a golden corridor of the bullet trains in the whole nation which would connect the all four metropolitan cities of India namely, New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai and this made me think about the current railway system of the whole nation. Having an outright vision of the future is a must thing for a leader and Mr. Modi has this thing but one thing that I would like to suggest him to do besides taking forth his vision for a bullet train, he should also focus on the laggard system of railways which is now becoming a menace for the citizens of India day by day.

Here I am suggesting a few measures through which the various problems tarnishing the Indian railways can be tamed:-

The first and foremost thing to do is to increase the revenue of the railway system. Because of the vote bank policies of previous governments Indian Railways has lost much of its share of revenues but now its high time we, despite of playing the appeasing policies in politics, we look forward to induce change in the whole of the railway system which would enable the whole of nation to travel in trains equipped with the best in class technologies. And hence I suggest that fares of the railways should be revised. I know the fact that a lot of people who travel through railways are very much poor and that’s why a pretty small increase should be made in the fares at first and then every year we can revise the fares a little bit till our demand becomes equal to the supply and this would lead to huge benefit for the whole of the railway system and also for all the passengers.

The other thing that needs to be checked in the railway department is corruption. Today much of the revenues accumulated, are drained into the pockets of tainted officials at both the grass root level and the higher level and this ultimately leads to the huge debilitation of money collected from the people of the nation through various measures like ticketing, taxes etc. Corruption continues to play a devil’s role in this place too, and small rackets of corruption by various officials demonises the whole of the India railway system making it much unpopular among the people. Therefore corruption needs to be checked in this field through constructive efforts which are meant to abate the level of corruption to as much as possible.

The third thing is the lack of technology in handling people. Today most of people who travel through trains never buy a ticket and illegally travel taking full benefit of the whole railways without paying anything and also causing problems for those who have paid. Lack of technology is also there in the trains which are deployed to carry people. Most of the passenger trains in India are pretty old and of very bad and vexing quality lacking any new technology or system. Speeds of these trains also continue to embarrass whole of the system. At a time when countries are introducing bullet trains, Indian railways continue to be run on the mercy of old and obsolete trains. Railways lines are also not pretty good and their bad arrangement has led to derailing of so many trains making thousands of passengers succumbing to death due to train related accidents.  This thing needs to be checked for the welfare of people.

Problems like sanitation, wrong signals, and open train passages continue to haunt people and these things also lead to deaths of thousands of passengers and therefore should be checked in order to maintain the trust of the citizens of India into the railway systems.

Today we need to make changes in our system; we need to overhaul all of the system in order to refurbish it to become an efficient and efficacious one. Today we need to learn from our losses rather than making new experiments. Today we need to change.

A great man to be followed.

Recently a good news just struck my eyes. The news was that the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee research Foundation was retrieving information such as speeches, various interviews etc. of the revered son of India Shri Shyama Prasad Mukherjee in order to rebuild his image again in the Indian subcontinent which was completely lost because of the Nehru-Gandhi clan members who had a grudge against Mr. Mukherjee on various issues.

Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, from the very beginning, had been a great leader to follow. His work for the motherland remains unparalleled. At a time when people used to think that no one except Nehru-Gandhi clan can run the nation, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee had a vision of providing people with an alternative and today’s BJP is also a brain child of this great man, who was the founding father of Jana Sangh and the political mentor of various politicians like former Indian Prime Minister, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Shyama Prasad Mukherjee’s life is in itself a remarkable paradigm for others to follow. Even today after 61 years of his death, his good deeds continue to stimulate us to transcend all the limits of love for our motherland. 6 July 1901 marked the birth of Mr. Mukherjee. Mr. Mukherjee was born to Bengali parents in the heart of West Bengal, Kolkata. His father, Mr. Ashutosh Mukherjee was a judge under the British rule, at the High Court of Judicature at Fort William, Bengal and was also the vice-chancellor of University of Calcutta. Mr. Mukherjee’s mother name was Lady Jogmaya Devi Mukherjee, while his younger brother was Umaprasad Mukhopadhyay, an eminent writer and a Himalayan lover.

Mr. Mukherjee from the very beginning was a very bright and brainy student who excelled in studies. He graduated from the University of Calcutta. He graduated in English, securing first position in the graduation level in the 1921 batch of the university and then went on to complete his Master’s Degree in Bengali and amusingly, stood first in this too in the year 1923. In the year 1924, Mr. Mukherjee enrolled himself as an advocate in the Calcutta High Court after the unfortunate demise of his father, but after sometime in the year 1926, Mr. Mukherjee left for England to study law at Lincoln Inn and became a barrister at law in the year 1927. And at the age of just 33, Mr. Mukherjee became the youngest Vice-chancellor of University of Calcutta.

Mr. Mukherjee’s tryst with politics started in 1929 when he was elected on the ticket of Indian National Congress (INC) in order to represent the University of Calcutta. But after some time when INC boycotted the legislature, Mr. Mukherjee was made to resign. Subsequently, he fought the election again, this time as an independent candidate, to get an entry into the legislature again.

Soon Mr. Mukherjee came out as a Hindu leader after he joined Hindu Mahasabha and became its president in the year 1944. At that time some people opposed him by calling his somewhat non-secular leader in order to defame him, but if we try to see and review that situation again, then we could easily say that Mr. Mukherjee was the harbinger of the peace between Hindus and Muslims and always wanted unity between both of them. He once said that Hindu Mahasabha should not be only restricted to the Hindus, but should work for the welfare of the whole nation.  Mr. Mukherjee became a Hindu leader not to opposed the Muslims but to support Hindus against the misdeeds being carried out by Muslim National League such as a separate electorate etc. Mr. Mukherjee also opposed the partition of Indian with tooth and nail. He ran various movements in order to prevent the partition of India and the making of Pakistan but unfortunately, the failed strategies of the top brass of that time led to the formation of Pakistan. The partition deeply affected Mr. Mukherjee to the hilt.

After India achieved independence, Jawahar Lal Nehru on watching Mr. Mukherjee’s ability to have a deeper understanding of everything he did, inducted him into the cabinet allocating him Ministry of Industry and Supply. Mr. Mukherjee was deeply respected by all the members of INC and even by Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel.

But soon Mr. Mukherjee’s stint at the cabinet ended after an altercation with Pt. Nehru on 1950 Delhi act and the formation of article 370. This ultimately led to huge difference in their beliefs and Mr. Mukherjee at last resigned out from the cabinet. Subsequently Mr. Mukherjee founded the Jana Sangh on 21 October, 1951 in Delhi and became its first president. His, this new sapling even got 3 seats in the parliament. He was always opposed to the formation of Pakistan, special status to Jammu and Kashmir and ban slaughter and that’s why till his last breathe struggled for his great motherland.  

Mukherjee also wanted India to be strong with respect to the defence sector and that’s why he also laid the foundation of the nuclear research in the whole nation. Mukherjee once proclaimed that nuclear research can create conditions of paradise on earth and relieve mankind of much of the drudgery which is responsible for the creation of societies composed of slaves and lords or capitalists and labours and also founded Institute of Nuclear Physics in 1948.

Mr. Mukherjee also had profound thoughts and vision about the foreign strategies and Indian democracy and at last was a great leader and son of mother India. Unfortunately on 23 June 1953, this great son bid adieu to the whole world silently but still continues to rule our heart. India today needs more sons like him.

Isn't that too much embarrassing?

Recently I penned down an article portraying the current peril through which the NDA government is going through. Today the Modi government holds a great responsibility on its shoulders, and with such a broad and brobdingnagian majority in the Lower House of the parliament, this onus extends further to be difficult and takes a beating to dealt with.  Even the Congress government, which just retired out of the crucial post of ruling the nation, knows every bit about the contemporary plight of the whole country.

As of January 2014, the inflation is the country was at one of its highest at 5.05% , while according to the Planning Commission of India, which wittily lowered down the poverty line rather than uplifting the poor under the UPA rule, around 21.9% of the India’s total population is under the below poverty line. Unemployment figures range high expostulating the works from the previous government. As of January 2010, around 27 Indian youths continue to be preyed by the demon of unemployment. What’s more is that, India continues to suffer a fiscal deficit of $88 Billion (4.8% of India’s total GDP). All these factors continue to manipulate the story of India Inc. for worse making the current condition through which the whole nation’s poor as well as middle class people are suffering completely pitiable.

But one thing amid all such factors and problems that continue to hover over my mind, dismaying me is the witticism that today’s political parties are showing against the current government. The UPA government itself made one of the worst blunders ever made by any government and continued to be shrouded by the disastrous catastrophic events which marked the dusk of the grand old party of India, but notwithstanding knowing all the ins and outs of the problem through which the current government is suffering its busy decrying the new government.

Recently the Congress party lashed out on the current Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitley and Food Minister Ram Vilas on the current rise in the prices of commodities.

This made my mind propel its thinking process to find out the real reason behind all such things.

Rajiv Gandhi, the former Prime Minister of India, once made a statement that “Farmers sell their grown potatoes at the rate of Rs 2 and then the potatoes go through all the processes like transports, middle men etc. to be sold finally at the rate of Rs. 15” but unfortunately the previous UPA government could not check the problem, or I should write that all the previous Congress government have just procrastinated the matter for the worse. Till now even after more than 66 years of independence, the party which ruled the nation for more than 50 years has not been able to do anything to check this problem. The commodities undergo a huge increment in their prices from farmers to the consumers. Today, India’s unlettered farmers are being exploited excessively. Our famers continue to die out of starvation which the middlemen and the agencies continue to put profits in their pockets. Till now no government has thought about doing anything for that, so how can the congress blame BJP and the NDA government for the present inflation.

Inflation also continued to be a huge problem during the reign of UPA-2. It reached new heights smashing all he heights and at last ousted the government of UPA. Now the UPA knows how hard it is to tackle and check inflation in such a big country. Prices of many commodities are set at international level and our government can’t do much on such things. For example due to the present Iraq crisis today, prices of oil, petrol and diesel are definite to rise up. While on the other hand prices of things like onion and other edible things continue to rise just because of illegitimate hoarding by touts and lack of storage area. In the previous 66 years of independences, we have not been able to provide our farmers with storage area. And this is the reason why every year we continue to shed out our stale grains while on the other hands, our farmers, the parents of the crops continue to die out of hunger. According to Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IME), India wastes 21 million tonnes of grains every year, making thousand die out a life of pity. What a ridiculous and embarrassing thing! So much shameful that we can’t even provide support or lend a helping hand to our people. Disgusting!

This entire phenomenon can be applied to the problem of electricity too. Today most of the power plants in the whole nation continue to underperform and produce less, not because they can’t but because they don’t have enough requisites in order to transport the electricity to the house of the people. Actually we are not even having enough wires to service the made electricity into action. And this definitely makes every Indian curse his/her bad fortune.

These things are difficult to be dealt with but we could have overcome that thing if our previous government would have been better, but the main problem is that the nation lacked even a single leader for the last 10 years.

Today the whole nation needs to do something, something for the sake of change, something different rather than blaming the newly elected government, something that makes a change come out.

India, the cradle of Science.

  

Indian Space Mission scaling new heights.

 Recently Indian space mission reached to a new milestone, a new zenith transcending all the limits that the critics had once set for it. When the PSLV-C23 rocket jumped off to take off from its base, the whole world’s eyes remained relentlessly focused on India, the nation which has actually recognized this world with the true meaning of science. In fact, the universal language of science i.e. Mathematics does itself find its origins in India. From zero to different theories, Indian scientists have given this world much in order to relish and admire the true wonders of science and mathematics. And as Indian’s ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) launched one of its most promising and auspicious projects, the whole world remained astounded and the new height which this great nation has now scaled through this unprecedented venture indeed avers and asserts the true potential this great nation, whose saints once proclaimed that this world is made up of “atoms”, in the field of scientific research and technology.

 “Your limits are nothing more than the lies your fears have sold you.” For a very long time critics from around the world were alleging that now there is no development in India in respect to the space mission and technology and that the scientific glory that this nation of ours holds has somehow been loosed in oblivion. But now when the ISRO crossed all the limits to be par excellence and to shut up the critics the whole world watched the power of the Indian soil and moreover the courage that our great and glorified nation still hold inside its heart.

One more thing that the launch of this new satellite has made sure is that India is behind no developed nation in terms of scientific technology. Inside our PSLV-C23, India launched the satellites of big heavyweights of this field like Germany, France, Canada and Singapore. The new satellite that was launched on Monday carried a 740 kg French Earth Observation Satellite SPOT-7 as its main payload, with 14kg AISAT satellite from Germany, two 15 kg satellites from Canada CAN-X4 and CAN- X5 and last but not the least, a 7Kg VELOX-1 from Singapore. The five satellites were part of a foreign agreement that ISRO had struck with these countries. But now Indian subcontinent’s hunger has soared for better. Even Indian Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi that India’s space programme must be made available to developing nations, and the SAARC countries in particular, minutes after witnessing the successful launch of five foreign satellites on board the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) workhorse the PSLV programme. “Today I ask our space community to make plans for developing a SAARC satellite, a satellite that provides a full range of applications and services to all our neighbours. There is a lot of poverty in the SAARC nations and we need scientific solutions for this. It will be beneficial for the development of all the countries in the region”, he added.

With the launch of this remarkable PSLV satellite carrying the load of so many other nation’s satellite, India has proved that its soil has not stopped engendering great sons. But what’s needed today is the guidance that these children of mother India really deserve but are unfortunately deprived of. Today the government as well as the whole society needs to think over the present advancements that the whole science and technology are making for a better world and that’s why now its high time we realize our potential and contribute as much as we can in order to facilitate and smoothen the approach of Indian scientific mission across the whole world.
