HIGH INFLATION, NO IMPACT ON DOLLAR!



From  Rs 4.76 per dollar in 1947, Indian rupee fell to an altime low of Rs 83.38  However, when USA is facing a severe inflation, 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. 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 managedg by some countries according to their preference. If Indian rupee falls in exchange with US Dollar, it instantly make impacts on our purchase of oil. That should not happen. Oil price should be as per the deal between India and that country. USD should have no role to play their. USA is dictating the exchange rates with other countries based on dollar. We may  explain it in a better way. Supposing a used car is available in USA for $20,000. Now we have to pay Rs 16.6 lakhs at current exchange rate of Rs 83 per dollar. Suppose the exchange rate becomes Rs2 per dollar, the same car will be available for us for Rs 33,200. In both cases used car owner in USA gets $20,000. If this is a quick turn of event, can we get petrol at a cheaper rate. Then they may amend the pricing system. What is suggested here that we may find ways and means to fix the exchange rate country wise on rupee value on rupee and currency of the relevant country, not on dollar.

If we can take the lead in establishing this new method of exchange rate our rupee will be strengthened fast as the currency of othe countries. And the present practice of changing the rate time and again in a day wii be ceased. A rate may remain for a longer time.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
