WHAT IS OUR OWN IN THIS WHOLE WORLD

Image
King Philip IV  (1621 - 1665) of Spain was known as the Planet King (El Rey Planeta). This name came because his kingdom never had sun set. A German is believed to have said that a Prussian King Frederick the Great in 1756 gifted the moon to his ancestors. Though there are stories about kings who had imaginarily extended their power across the solar system, we may  also find that as on today, thousands of people belonging to many countries hold novelty deeds to show having purchased land in Moon, Mars and other planets from private companies. Many rich Indians too are possessing documents of ownership of land in Moon and Mars. We may say those are imaginary possessions. If that is so our possessions in this earth too are imaginary possessions. Before man comes to the earth, different regions on the earth were under the control of powerful and not so powerful animals. After the arrival of man on the earth he created large region in the forest and open green land...

HOW LONG WE INDIANS REMAIN INACTIVE?

Image
We  ourselves are boasting that Covid 19 has brought us good number of economic opportunities. Unfortunately we are yet to wake up to the opened situation. Our people, especially the youth, are still moving around unaware of the circumstances. Availing the opportunity well within time is a joint effort both by the government and by the people. It is not enough for the government to announce plans and programmes but also to ensure that the people are availing the way it is needed. In India we have enough resources to produce thousands of goods that are needed in many countries. We also have the required technical know-how to produce such goods with excellent quality. Now, over and above, if we can bring down the cost considerably we can have an abundant market all over. It is the government to provide financial assistance, technical support and working space to our qualified youth. It is the youth to look for the suitable assistance and use it most effectively. Fortunate...

KERALA MUST LEAVE THIS DIRTY POLITICS AND CONCENTRATE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE

Image
(Great Southwest Industrial Park, Arlington, USA. Image courtesy - Zee News) (This article was published  about an year back) While the government of Kerala is more interested in Governor, V C and such related matters than addressing serious issues concerning the people, the opposition too are joining them. As per the prevailing financial situation of the state, it may not be possible to disburse the salary of the government employees after a few months. It is the duty of the opposition parties to suggest ways and means to the government to overcome this precarious situation. Surprisingly the media too is focusing on petty political issues than discussing more important subjects like the pathetic financial state of the government. When the media and the opposition parties allege financial mismanagement of the government they should also suggest ways and means to get over from this. All said and done the state government is in a red hot spot. It may not be that easy to c...

SREE NARAYANA GURU

Image
Sree  Narayana Guru must be one of the greatest human being, may be beyond that, ever born in this holy land. He had Jesus Christ in him, Sree Krishna in him and also Swami Vivekananda in him. He taught great human philosophy in the simplest language. He was not confined himself in temples or any other places of worship. His teachings are not within the framework of ethical and moral code of any religion. He did not preach any faith. He said about the Supreme One in his own language. One cast, one God and one religion is for all men is his prime teaching. He could be the model of modesty and purity. About 25% of the state population constitutes the followers of Sree Narayana Guru. SNDP was the rudimentary organisation for the followers of the Guru. This has since been well established both financially and with political support. Other than having some educational institutions, hospitals and old age homes within the state, what have been done nationally or internationall...

HIGH INFLATION, NO IMPACT ON DOLLAR!

Image
From   Rs 4.76 per dollar in 1947, Indian rupee fell to an altime low of Rs 93.81 as on this  date. However, when USA was facing a severe inflation sometime back, may be one of the harsh one of the recent times, it could make no dents on the US Dollar. It seems that exchange rates are arrived at by some mythical terms of calculation. I think it is near impossible to give a satisfactory explanation to this strange state of international exchange rates. Due to  this inflation, per capita strain on US economy was much higher than India's per capita strain. However during the inflation period the US$ stood as strong as ever but the Indian rupee had severe dent. This economic theory is beyond the concept of modern economics. May the economic priests sit together and arrive at a universally acceptable formula for international monetary exchange. The existing system of exchange rates is not managed by any universal theory. Currently the rates are managed by some...
