As per information 73% of wealth generated in 2017 went to the richest 1%. The poverty rate in India was 26%in 2000, 27.4% in 2012, 21.6% in 2014 and 2015 it was 176 million. In 2023 it is 14.96%. People below poverty line in India is earning below Rs 27,000 per annum or Rs 2,250 per month or Rs 75 per day. In today's price can one live with Rs 75 a day? Internationally poverty line is marked at two ranges, $10 and $5.50 a day. If this becomes the benchmark, many more Indians may fall under below poverty line. According to Oxfam, it takes 941 years for a minimum wage earned worker to reach the level of a well paid executive of a garment company in India. Now it is the people of India to determine their targets of growth. Do we want to eat fairly good food three times in a day? Do we want to cont...

(Image courtesy - You Tube) Almost all Malayalam TV news channels conduct political debates all seven days in a week. Generally current issues are taken as the subject for discussion. Major political parties are made to participate in this. Almost every day the debate reach the boiling point while concluding. When one says yes the other says no is the prime trend of the discussion. Unfortunately these debates normally looks like comedy shows in most days because of the ignorance exposed by some of the participants.

The government is trying hard to meet the day to day needs . There are many issues needs urgent attention. Unfortunately none of our news channels...

DO WE NEED A SOCIAL REFORMATION?

Image
Many  of us talk quite frequently about the governance, the social system, political parties, criminal activities all around, corruption everywhere and so many such negatives that take away the peace from us. Neither we are contented with the results of our own actions nor we get even little happiness from our work places nor we have peace anywhere in our society. Still we suppress our expression of resistence. We don't protest against all that destructive things happening around us every now and then. What make us to be mum? All those unwanted things offered to us by the prevailing political systems which are inadvertently accepted by us. How long we shall continue like this? Don't we need a change? We cannot now wait for another Mahatma Gandhi to come for our help. Each one of us should become a Gandhi. The first thing we should do is to quit from the existing political system. We don't need a new party or political ideology. The governance of the state should...

IS CONFESSION IN CHRISTIANITY AN UNBELIEF TO JESUS CHRIST

Image
According to Catholic Christian faith the Sacrament of Penance is the method by which individuals confess sins committed after baptism. These sins are absolved by God through the administration of the priest who assigns an act of penance. In order to strengthen this Mathew 18:18 (... Whatever you will have bound on earth, shall be bound also  in heaven, and whatever you will have released on earth, shall be released also in heaven.) is quoted by those who support this. However can also go through Mathew 18:11 too.(For the Son of Man has come to save what had been lost.) Another significant word that need to be quoted in connection with confession is Genesis 6:6 ( ... repented that he had made man on the earth ... ) This word of God the Father is likely to be interpreted by different people and groups by their own choice and preferences. We find the repentance of God here,  which was accomplished at Golgotha on the cross in the form of Jesus Christ. And that saved t...

JUVENILE CRIME IN INDIA

Image
Juvenile crime in India has downward tendency during the period between 2013 and 2022 when the number of crimes committed by the young ones came down from 43506 to 30555. We see that countries like Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Finland, Netherlands etc have the lowest rate of juvenile crime in the world. Why our youngsters sent out freely to commit crime? Can we not prevent them from doing crime? Excessive politics is one of the prime factors that prompt children to commit crime. In order to avoid this all types of political activities should be banned from all educational institutions. This decision should be taken by the parents and teachers together and should be implemented strictly by the state and central governments.  Another important aspect to consider to bring down crime in our country is deployment of cent per cent youth. In other words, make the unemployment rate to zero. In order to make it happen we must exploit as much natural resources as possible. This will...
