India-No scope of development..

Yesterday, after winning the race to The White House, Mr.Obama in front of a huge crowd in his hometown. I couldn't not believe the jubilation and the excitement that was found in the air. People were cheering their new leader and there was a complete cooperation among every single person in the crowd which added the respect to America in me. I can see it only as a country filled with more Gentleman than any other country. Something that appeared very satisfying was the appearance of the Republican candidate, Mr. McCain, in front of a huge crowd, which supported him for the past 14 months. He congratulated his opponent for winning the election and making it into the White House. I just wanted to realize the contrasts between the real politicians in America and these hooligans in India who call themselves politicians and leaders of political parties that are against the views of a particular section of a people when it comes to a bridge or a belief. So, i switched over to another Indian channel that covers everything that happens in the Indian political arena. Immediately, I fond a politician accusing his opposition and talking everything futile about the other party. That was when I felt bad for the people of India. They are the followers of Gandhi and they feel non-violence is the solution for any known problem. But, these political pigs are making fools out of these peaceful followers and they do all harm to the people of the nation and still get away with everything and win the elections once again next time. I was wondering why India didn't go for a Presidential democracy as most of the developed countries have done today and opted for a Parliamentarian democracy. The answer is quite simple. When the Government comes under the scrutiny of one man called the President, everything works well and the machine runs smooth with the least possibility of corruption creeping into the system. Our politicians don't want that. They wanted a Parliamentarian Democracy so that each and every bloody corrupted politician can get their share of people's money in all the possible crooked ways and no one would blame them because no politician is good here to point out the mistakes of another politician. This is the fate of this nation which was once considered a 'Punya Bhoomi'. It is no more a land of prosperity. It has become the birth place for corruption and tainted politicians, who care the least for the people. With the politicians being so cunning and people being so harmless, the country is expected to become a super power by 2020. For all those who believe India is right on the track of development, this is all I've got to tell you:

"பேராசை பெருநஷ்டம்"

Ultra-modern cities???

Chennai is becoming more sophisticated and advanced in terms of lifestyle, economy, opportunities and entertainment without giving up its image as a cultural hub. With cities like Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad failing terribly in an attempt to acclimatize themselves to the lifestyle of Western hemisphere, Chennai made sure it followed its own unique way of development and progress. Initially, people were laughing at the way Chennai projected itself as a metropolitan city without a big number of night clubs and party floors which the people from above mentioned cities thought were the sign of development. Now, the world laughs at these cities for their ignorance about the real meaning of development and turning a city into a metropolitan on the map. I feel really bad for those cities because they thought they were right on track of development without carrying the reality in their minds, which is actually that they were going exactly the wrong way. Following the way people live in the Western world is good for a developed nation in the East. But, we should not forget India is a developing nation that has a heavy load of 120 billion people on its back and trying to imitate westerners is a blunder which the so called developed cities in India committed. First of all, how can certain cities alone be considered as developed parts of the nation when the whole nation is called a developing one? Isn't the word integration missing right at the root of this point? Development doesn't mean bollywood or night clubs or dance floors. Development doesn't even mean good looking girls wearing Low waist jeans and t-shirts with quotes on them that contain the words 'WANNA' or 'GONNA' in the places of 'WANT TO' or 'GOING TO'. People from these cities should understand development is a collective term that covers criteria like employment, literacy rate, specific, per capita income, establishments in various fields of business and the like. Just because a state owns Nasik, the capital of the state can't be called the New York of India. Chennai survives majority of these criteria, though not all. When it comes to industrial development and literacy rate, Chennai is several folds better than Mumbai or Hyderabad. People have just started to show themselves as trendy. According to a recent survey, among all the cities, the Chennai people spend more on entertainment and thus, Mumbai is beaten to the floor even when it comes to considering entertainment as the main criterion to judge the development of a state. Thus, I cannot search for words other then 'THE BEST' for Chennai and 'SATISFACTORY', though not completely, for other cities which proclaim to be completely ultra-modern, rich and decent.

Maya messes up with Rai Bareli..

This is a part of Uttar Pradesh which is one of the states in India where literacy rate, and hence, the employment rate is quite low compared to states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The central Government sketched a plan for the well-being of the state and came up with an idea to setup a railway coach factory at Rai Bareli. Initial steps were taken at a fast rate including the massive land allotment by the state government. Miss.Mayawati, Chief Minister of U.P, made sure nothing on her part appeared against the interest of the state and never let her misunderstandings with the Congress at the center rise up in front of the people. But, she always had something that made her uncomfortable while trying to go hand in hand with the Congress within her. She was not psychologically ready for a tie up with the Congress. But, she can't come out with such a fact at a time when people of her state are celebrating her as their savior and protector of the rights of minorities and especially when a large section of the people feel the railway coach factory would add more benefits to the state's industrial development and economic growth. When a privatized Nano could be seen as an economic booster, why can't a Government operated railway coach factory serve as a launch pad for an economic boom in the state? The deal was almost closed with the Central government all set to bring in the machineries into the state to start with the construction works. This was when Mayawati started to stand strong against the whole picture and now she protest against the construction of a factory in the state, which she says would make hundreds of farmers jobless since their lands would be acquired by the Government for placing the ancillary plants which are required for making a complete railway coach factory. I can't find a reason as to why Mayawati didn't think of such a reason before she transferred the land and I wonder where were these groups of farmers at the time of transfer. This puts Congress at one end of a rope and Mayawati at the other. Congress has now approached the Supreme Court to make the land transfer valid. This is where the tug of war begins. We need patience to see all the funny developments that will take root from here as the causes of Sonia-Maya effect, which can otherwise be called the 'Soya' effect. Now, the issue has turned into an ugly political game between the Congress and Mayawati who has lately started concentrating more on minority vote banks than the state's interest and development.

Red loses its face..:-P

The situation of the Central Government and the state of the state Governments in India are really pathetic and awful. When other countries are talking about space science, aliens, UFOs and time tunnels, we are talking about 2nd Green Revolution, reservations in educational institutions and other issue that would add nothing to the nation's image in the Internationals arena. The only good development in terms of technical development of the nation came in the form of N-Deal. But, whenever something good happens, a villain jumps into the scene from nowhere. The RED party had no clue about this and they knew the deal would take India to great heights which they don't want to see happening because Politics is their only profession and they can't survive if India develops and people become shrewd enough to understand the technicalities of various advancements in the nation that would be following the deal. Hence, they opposed the N-Deal and made all the possible attempts to tumble the Government which successfully survived the trust vote. Communists in India are made to bite dust and lick the grounds. This is a hard lesson for the communists who are not really following the principles of Karl Marx but have designed their own guidelines flexible to their needs and expectations so that they can make maximum use of the name communism and gain a lot. If there is a big hindrance for the development of the nation, that would be these unwanted elements belonging to the RED party which should immediately be dissolved in order to move closer to the goal of making the country a developed nation by 2020. If this doesn't happen, communists in India would make this country a living hell by talking rubbish and inflicting their shapeless philosophies which are nowhere closer to real communism on the people of this nation. According to real communism, all are equal irrespective of their status. But, our defamed communists feel that all our equal and they slightly take the edge over others by forcing others to follow what they follow and calling those who refuse to do so anomalies of the society. And they call this communism. Communists in India are weeds which should never be encouraged if you want the fields to thrive.

Where is my country heading to?

India-Known for everything rich and beautiful. People in this country possess exotic lifestyle. The culture has been very deeply rooted in this Country of Gods. India has just stepped into the Global race for the best in the world. Developments are widespread starting from agriculture and space science. We are witnessing tremendous growth in all the industries and our India is now capable of providing world class products and services. Some of the best medical minds in the world are possessed by this 7th largest country on big green earth.

Our economy is considered to occupy 12th position against the other world nations, which is something we don't deserve at all. We deserve something bigger. Something higher. We need to be at the apex. Its India. Its the best. There is something that pulls India down in front of the world nations. Its that we don't come out with some of the blatant facts about our India and we term those who pinpoint the negatives anti-Indians and project them as elements which are hindering the national growth. We always forget the truth and the truth is that 'Pampering is of no use'.

Boasting about our age old achievements won't earn anything for the nation. What matters at this hour is what we are now and not what we were in those centuries lying dead in the history. Enough of history classes. Come back to the present. We might be the second fastest growing economy in the world. Nonetheless, we are named a low income economy. My question is, where did we miss the first place which we deserve for all the efforts we have taken to improve the standard of living from the scratch? After all, its not wrong to expect to see our country at the top. At present, we find more black spots in the country which make all these developments tiny and invisible.

The problem with us is that we are quite ready to spend time on entertainment and gossips than on social issues, except for few. We were as good as silent ducks when 600 billion Indian rupees, which was supposed to be payed back by 40 million Indian farmers, was completely put down. Were we so insensitive that we never realized each of us had our contribution in that massive farmers' loan? I'm neither against the support that the Indian Government render the farmers nor the ruling party of India. Lets not politicize it as usual. Please. It should have been a considerable and more reasonable concession and not a 100% discount like it has been done. This is a developing nation and most of the families have the status of middle class and lower middle class and 600 billion bucks make a huge difference in the path of economic progress. At least a part of the debt should have been brought back to the treasury.

According to the statistics of the World Bank, India's Gross Domestic Product or more comfortably GDP, is 8.4% and this year, World Bank has lent $900 billion to India for the country's development purposes. The figures make everyone wonder how the country's developments and the debt repayment are going to be balanced. At such a crucial hour, can a 600 billion bill be thrown away?

Again, I would make my stands firm. I'm not against the decision to provide concessions to the farmers. Please note that its 'CONCESSION'. Its just that nobody can accept a complete drop of such a huge amount that has the power to change the face of India. All that the country needs is uniform development. A massive concession to the field of agriculture makes the other industries feel that they're being neglected and that the Government of India is showing them a step-motherly treatment, though we're all Indians. This sets in a psychological division in the economy which in turn would affect the entire growth of the country. This is not supposed to happen.

We have been calling agriculture the backbone of Indian economy. I agree. It was true. But, now we can't stick on to the same theory. Agriculture contributes 4.7% to the annual income of the nation. Petrochemical industry, cement industry, steel industry and computer technology brings home more than 85% of income. These facts are not meant to bring down the support available for agricultural industry but, these are to alarm that we need to concentrate more on the real income-earners.

Politicians play with our money, which finds its way to the treasury in the form of tax and other bills. I just have one question to our Honorable Finance minister : "Would you have given away 600 billion bucks if that belonged to you Mr.FM?"

Now, for most of those who read this blog, I may appear like an anti-Indian. Being a responsible Indian, who wish to see India carrying the title of 'Developed Nation' very soon, I could not tolerate the diversion we have just been taken through.

An Indian lauds the achievements of India and praises it for all the developments which were once staged in the country. That is exactly what I mean by pampering. A true Indian remembers these developments and sees to that nothing goes wrong that might otherwise hamper the nation's growth and comes out with the real and happening facts which appear to take the country towards a drop.

Let us stop talking about the developments that have already taken place and start thinking about what we could make out of what we have in our hands now.

Stop talking the past. Work for the future. Let us stop rising our spirits for petty issues like price hike and voice up for more serious issues that come into the frame whenever the Government proceeds with a wrong step like the 600 billion blunder. That is the only way we can take to build a grand future for the country we love. Love India.
