WHAT SHOULD WE DO FOR OUR FELLOW BEINGS

Image
The estimated population of the world as of 2025 is about 8.3 billion people. All that we are enjoying today are the outcome of the hardwork of countless number of people. Even every grain of rice coming to our plates are the result of many thousands of people. When we get sick we take medicine and get healed. There may be the efforts of generations behind every tablet or every drop of medicine that comfort us. Each one of us are highly indebted to many people lived here or living here. Are we thankful to those humans? Do we ever think about them? Now, coming back to us. We are in this world, may be, for a few decades. If we look at our story, have we got anything in our mind that is worth to mention that we have done for our fellow beings. When we pass away from here, how many around us and how long will remember us. Have we ever fed a hungry stranger with enough food? Have we ever sent sufficient food to a poor family of your area? Have we ever asked a tired poor one whet...

DEMOCRATIC INDIA - IS SO DEMOCRATIC ?

Image
India is said to be the largest democracy in the world. The word 'largest' stands in terms of population. There are 167 countries that follow the path of democracy. India ranks 108th on Electoral Democracy Index 2023. In fact democracy in India is strictly confined to voting in elections at various levels. Earlier it was manual casting of votes and now it is by using electronic voting machines. The following countries only use EVM for national elections. Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, DR of Congo, Estonia, India, Philippines, UAE and Venezuela. USA use manual casting of votes they use some electronic scan tabulator system for counting of votes. However, despite all so called convenience, as per available information, countries like UK, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, New Zealand etc are not using EVMs for national elections. These countries may have their own reasons for rejecting Electronic Voting. EVM was first used in India in the By-elect...

ARE HUMANS DUTY BOUND IN THIS WORLD?

Image
(Image courtesy - Pinterest) Man is not at all duty bound in this world. The reason is simple, there is no duty prescribed for man by anyone above man. All the so called 'dos and the not dos' are prescribed by fellow beings within the purview of different norms, which might be conflicting with one another.  All good and bad are defined by both good and bad men. In fact where we have come from or where we have to go back is unknown to us.  We are not ours. We do not know much about our physical body. We cannot see it well. We do not know much about its functions. If it goes out we cannot rectify it; need someone's help. Above that, we know almost nothing about the central control system we have. Even the best could not use one third of it. It gets interference from, may be, out side the system. When we know almost nothing about ourselves, we pretend to act as if we know much about others and other things. And we like to rule all those. Sheer ignorance, but unrealised...

MOBILE PHONE - MOST TRUSTWORTHY FRIEND!

Image
The mobile phone is our most reliable friend. It is our master who teaches us.lt is a doctor, a legal advisor and a religious priest. What we searched in many schools, libraries, news paper offices and through post offices are now available at our fingertips. How fortunate we are now to have such a wonderful one with us all the time.    Unfortunately many parents are struggling with their children for misusing the mobile phone. We cannot accuse the young ones for this. Our existing educational system is fully responsible for this. What is good that has to be accepted and bad that has to be rejected,  is not at all taught the way it is to be taught. This should be included as part of teaching in the schools with the help of well prepared syllabus. What we should do on top most priority is to restructure the syllabus according to the need of the day. On the contrary we should not make mobile phone the culprit. It is like the knife. In every kitchen knife is an e...

WHY CHINA TURNED INTO CAPITALISM AND COMMUNISM FLOPPED IN THE WORLD

Image
Lenin, Stalin and Mao: The three biggest Communist mass murderers. Based on house hold survey the poverty rate in China reached to 63% of the population in 1981. This was declined to 10% in 2004. This indicates that about 500 million people have climbed out of poverty during this period. Ownership by the state and centrally planned economy had earlier brought them to this utmost poverty status. Privatisation began to accelerate after 1992 and the private grew as percentage of the GDP. In fact it was not a sudden turn around but a post Mao transition from 1976. Now China has reached at the No 2 position in GDP after US. GDP per capita income is reached USD 13,806 by the end of 2025. At present China is known to be ranking 99 in the list of world countries in GDP per capita income as of 2025 by IMF. We must remember the vast tide of oppression, tyranny and mass murder that communist regimes unleashed upon the world. Historians and others have accounted numerous atrocities by ...

HUMAN LABOUR, THE SURPLUS RAW MATERIAL

Image
Most essential items to produce any goods are just two. One is sufficient earth and the other is human labour. We Indians have these two in surplus. But, we are far behind to many countries in producing goods and selling them to other countries. Neither our people nor our governments are focusing on these two to make ourselves wealthy and self sufficient. China is in the forefront and in combining these two elements properly and serve the world and serve themselves. We prefer to weep on our poverty. The government is extending subsidies to reduce the poverty than using our surplus resources to eradicate poverty. I would like to call upon my fellow countrymen to form groups one after the other to produce goods and services and sell those in the international market. If we can produce high quality goods in a fast pace and offer at a low price, there may be enough takers and that will remove our poverty. We can also stand among the rich in the world. K V George

CAN INDIA BRING OUR UNEMPLOYMENT RATE TO ZERO

Image
According to the Periodic Labour Force Survey the unemployment rate in India has a declining trend: 2020-21= 4.2%, 2021-22 = 4.1%, 2022-23 = 3.2%. The percentage of unemployment shown above may appear to be not very high in comparison with other countries. While looking at our large population these cannot be small in numbers. Over and above these when we add the figures of under employed, those unaccounted found in large numbers in the agricultural sector, the youth passing out every year etc into consideration the actual figures may be much higher. We may also keep in mind that there are countries like South Africa with 29.8%, Djibouti with 27.9%, West Bank/Gaza with 25.7% etc have high rates of unemployment. While assessing the employment rate,  the median age too holds significance. Countries with lowest median age are, Niger 15.3, Uganda 15.7 and Mali 16.2. When we take the work force, India is on the best layer of the median age 28.4 (29.8). The median age of Japa...
