THE CURSE OF OUR COUNTRY IS EXCESSIVE POLITICS

Image
Politics is only to be used as a pointer towards the governance of a country or a region by a group of people. It is supposed to be a socioeconomic ideology presented to the people. The group who holds this ideology becomes a political party. This ideology is to be used for the betterment of the people as a whole. Under no circumstances the concerned party can be deviated from this ideology. While what we say here are the basic concept of politics, what have relevance in our country are something different. As per the latest publication of Election Commission of India dated 23rd September 2021 the total number of parties registered in India was 2850 with 8 national parties, 54 state parties and 2797 unrecognised parties. The ideal goal of governance is economic growth of the people under peaceful atmosphere. Nothing else should be mixed with this. Unfortunately, we in our country mix religion, cast, subcast, region, language etc as good ingredients in politics as well as th...

IT'S ME TO ANSWER MY PRAYERS TO GOD

Image
It may find incomprehensible and look strange, but is the truth. God may give us at the same measure at which we give others in the same situation. For instance, one has to construct a house for him. He has only little money with him. He prays the Supreme One for the remaining sum. The prayer has become routine for him. One day a poor man came to him. He told our man that he lost his small house in the recent flood and cyclone. His wife and children are in great trouble. Now, our man has few options to deal with the situation. He can give the whole money available with him to the poor man. Other option is to give half of what he has. The third option is to give little from what he has. The last is to turn the man away without giving anything. Let us find that God too have similar options with Him when we pray. Which option is to be chosen by Him is determined by the same option we choose in similar situations. If we look back our past thoroughly we can find many matching si...

ECONOMIC BALANCING IN INDIA

Image
We may have a non-conventional look at the Indian economic development. As per Forbes report India has 169 billionaires in 2023 which was 166 in 2022, 101 in 2017 and 9 in 2000. 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...

UNBELIEVABLE EQUATION

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...
