ECONOMIC GROWTH OF INDIA, CHINA AND THE USA IN THE COMING TIME

The current status of the top five countries of the world in GDP.                        2024                               (In tn)       USA                29.17 China             18.27 Germany         4.71¡ Japan              4.07 India                3.89 It may be a matter of less than decade that USA will continue on top. By the time China may reach the top layer. Further 30 to 50 years may be required for India to overtake China. What makes a quantum leap by China in their GDP growth? Primarily two factors can be considered for this. One is huge investment in infrastructure and other is the large man power they have.  They are also con...

CAN INDIA EVER REACH THE TOP LAYER OF THE WORLD

                     Qutub Minar  Before finding an answer to this we must know where our country stands in various fields like wealth, literacy, agriculture, health, cleanliness, safety, discipline, defence etc in comparison with developed countries. We may go through some selected area as shown below. Per Capita Income. According to the report by Forbes,  the GDP per capita PPP as on the second half of 2024, the top countries in USD are: Luxembourg               - 151,150 Singapore                   - 148,190 Macao SAR                 - 130,420 Ireland                          - 127,750 Qatar                            - 115,070 Norway  ...

CAN WE MAKE INDIA'S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE TO ZERO?

Image
Without much of a conversation or controversy we can boldly say that in another few years we can eradicate unemployment from India. If our government wishes, it can be easily achieved without much of an investment through the annual budget allocation. Neither the government  have any bearing on this in large management of fund not the need for large manpower handling. However the government has to take a decision in this regard. It should be like this: 1. No collateral security should be asked for by banks for loan upto five crores. There are good number of highly intelligent engineers and technicians and also qualified youth from other branches of education who are unable to offer any collateral security to avail the loan for any manufacturing or service industry. If timely help is not extended to these youngsters they may perish with their dreams. They would otherwise become great asset for this country. 2. Selected insurance companies may offer guarantee to the bank ...

LET PEOPLE DEVELOP TOURISM AND MAKE MONEY

Image
While comparing the earnings from Tourism by different countries India stands much below. Our country has a vast collection in store to show the world. Our highest earning from tourism stands less than 6% of our GDP. If properly handled this can be multiplied in a short span of time. The best way to enhance the revenue from this sector is to bring in qualified youth into it. Government need not make any huge investment in this. Government must make it easy for them to secure loan from banks and other financial institutions. A separate wing in the bank may be created to follow up the utilisation of the fund properly. (,There can be safer methods to apply for bank loans with zero risk for the money lent.) Government can also organise frequent seminars, exhibitions etc on tourism. Many new schemes can be introduced to attract more tourists from different parts of the world. When the government is taking the lead role, they may ensure the active participation of the youth. Whil...

FAITH IN GOD

Image
Fai th is a word used by almost all religions to indicate strong attachment of their members with the system. The meaning of faith according to Oxford Dictionary is, a) complete trust or confidence in someone or something, b) strong belief in the doctrines of a religion based on spiritual conviction rather than proof. Christianity gives great significance to faith in attaining the Supreme One. Faith comes through multiple means, by hearing, reading or being taught the Word of God. It cannot be 'worked up', 'bought', 'desired', 'prayed for' or 'invoked' on someone. The common word for 'faith' is the Greek word 'pistis' and this word is used 244 times in the New Testament. We may move away from the complex definition of the word and try to ascertain the meaning and can find that faith is nothing but the link between man and God. Faith derives from love and ends up in total dependence, rather surrender. Through the cor...

ROAD QUALITY OF OUR COUNTRY

Image
When we consider the infrastructure of a country, quality and extend of roads contribute significantly. In order to determine the quality of roads, roads of many countries are examined and Road Quality Index is awarded. Here we may go through the RQ index of countries with the best roads in the world as furnished by the World Population Review from the year 2019. The RQ Index as per the survey of World Economic Forum wef 2019 the top ten countries and their scores are given below. Singapore - 6.45 Switzerland - 6.36 Netherlands - 6.18 Hong Kong - 6.06 Portugal - 6.05 Japan - 6.04 France - 5.96 Oman - 5.96 UAE - 5.92 Austria - 5.89 In the case of India World Economic Forum did not compile a Road Quality Index 2019. However WEF did compile a Road Infrastructure Index 2016- 2019 and according to that the score of India is 4.5. India ranked 54th in the WEF index of 2021. However by reconstituting the methodology the ranking was adjusted to 38th. If we get the opportunity to tra...

JUST ONE LAW CAN AVERT RUSH IN INDIAN POLITICS

Image
As on 23 March 2024 there are 6 national parties, 57 state parties and 2,764 unrecognised political parties are in India. There are countless number of politicians engaged in the day to day functioning of these parties. The people of the country never asked anyone to form any party or requested anyone to come and serve them. The people both individually and collectively and the political parties one after the other voluntarily came forward to offer their services to the people. In the recent elections it is estimated that an average of 15 candidates are contesting for each seat. One may doubt why so much people are rushing to serve the people. The prime factor is that our parliamentarians are getting handsome emoluments. No academic qualifications or experience is prescribed. In some cases their brilliant school mates who went for engineering or doctorate and then passed the civil service exam become subordinates of these less educated politicians. The rush found in Indian ...

DO INDIA NEED A CHANGE IN THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT?

Image
Part V (Continued from yesterday)   Presidential Palace of India   No  confidence motion in the Indian Parliamentary can lead to a mid term election. Only by impeachment in the American senate can unseat the President. While the Prime Minister appoints the cabinet ministers in India, the president nominate the cabinet and send for approval to the senate in US. In India, as a country there is only one constitution. In US every state has it's own constitution. The basic difference between India and the USA is that India has a parliamentary form of government while US has a Presidential system of government. As far as the system of government is concerned we Indians have excessive freedom, but the benefits of it goes to the extremely wealthy and those holding the power. As such despite over seven decades rule by different political parties, the three major issues we have discussed could not be sorted out and contrary to this these are growing up. Corruption has b...

DO INDIA NEED A CHANGE IN THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT?

    The Parliament of India.   Image courtesy, India Today   Despite having the required means in the form of natural resources and with a large strength of young manpower we are not able to reach the top layer of wealthy nations. According to Forbes India report dated 7.2.2024 of the top 10 largest economies in the world for 2024, India stands at number five while USA, China, Germany, Japan are ahead of us. When it is  brought into per capita income (ppp) of 2022, it is totally shaken. In a list of 179 countries India's ranking is 120. Our PCI is $ 8,379. Luxembourg ($ 1,42,214), Singapore ($ 1,27,565), Ireland ($ 1,26,905) Norway ($ 1,14,899) Qatar ($ 1,14,648) etc are on top of the list. In women's safety index of 146 countries of 2023 India stands at 127.  All these are the after effect of corruption in our country. Various estimates put the amount of black money from India anywhere between $ 181 billion and $ 1.8 trillion. Another esti...

EVERY HUMAN HAS AN INBORN ASSIGNMENT

Image
Every human born on this world is assigned with a task. Some of such tasks if we find may seem to be so insignificant and some may even look to be negative for us. Unless each one achieve their assigned task they will not return from here. Shall they return soon after completing their task cannot be said unless we know the task. We also cannot define the assignment unless we know all about it including its impact after many years. And this task cannot be a life long or even years long or months long process. If we really know the task it may last a few hours or few minutes of this long span of  life. Gandhiji's task may looks to be securing independence for India.  It may not be, but something else which he achieved in a little duration of time, later in his life. Thomas Alva Edison has about 1200 patents in his name. However, it may be one of those invention or something else would have been his task.

WHAT PROMPT PEOPLE TO AMASS WEALTH BEYOND NEEDS?

Image
Wealth and man have an age old robust relationship. Most people in the world do something for their daily living. While some work in their own field, others work in others fields and earn wages from them. While the highest majority of the people work and earn in these two ways, a very few get an opportunity to make a quantum leap forward in amassing wealth. Then comes the shortest way to earn wealth; and that is theft. Thefts are of two kinds. One is snatching others valuables secretly or forcibly and the other is forcing a person to pay the money to a government servant or an elected representative. We call the latter bribe, corruption etc   There are people who hold large amount of wealth for generations. Let us ignore them. Let us focus on those who earn by cheating, stealing and by corruptive practices and become rich overnight. This is called, amassing wealth by illegitimate means. These earnings are always accompanied with the curses by the givers. In most ca...

But in reality how long we have been in this world? In order to answer this we may have to overwhelm all existing theological concepts and concentrate only on science. The modern science says that the universe was begun from a Big Bang. All things in the universe were came into being by the explosion of a tiny particle.  And that took place 13.8 billion years ago. So our life too commenced in this universe 13.8 billion years ago. We must have remained as air particles, water or other liquid particles or in general we remained as atoms and molecules. Hundreds and thousands of years thus passed away without seeing, hearing or thinking anything. Then we became tiny plants, small and large plants and after that we became small and big trees of different kinds. Years ...

THE GREAT SACRIFICE

"And while He was still speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve,  arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the leaders of the priests, and the scribes , and the elders." (Mark 14:43) What we see here nis men act upon another One. Whether it was yesterday or today man only does for his safety, happiness and contentment. When he does such things he never bothers whether it hurts and causes pain to those who are against he committed his wrongs. On the other hand, Lord Jesus Christ came here to nget hurt, suffer and die for all humans in the world including those who killed Him. No human on earth may be able to recognise and understand the love and forgiveness of our ever living Lord Jesus Christ. K V George

In fact the people are believing  in a misinterpreted political philosophy and blindly following the same. We the helpless citizens do not understand that the prime target of politics is lack of equality, ingenuity and above all corruption. For unknown reasons we Indians do not know what we want and therefore, cannot aspire for anything. We cannot even compare ourselves with the people of the developed countries.

WE INDIANS ARE NOT CONSCIOUS ABOUT OUR OWN PRIORITIES

Gathering in a Political meeting (Image courtesy to the Hindustan Times) We  Indians must be the only people in the world who are not conscious of one's own priorities. We seem to have only two things centred in our lives and those are politics and God. Both these are not acquired from any systematic learning but through haphazard manner. If someone ask, what for these are learnt, there may not be any valid answer. Yet we think we are one of the most knowledgeable ones in the world. If someone tells them that their priorities are, eradication of poverty, ward off corruption, ensure safety of women, attain cent percent literacy, accrue the income of the people etc, they may say it is none of their business, but the government to do these things.

Though many people and media have expressed nonreliability in EVMs the government has conclusively established this system of voting. More advanced countries like USA, UK, Japan, Germany, France etc are yet to introduce this. As per media reports Japan and Israel have totally stopped the use of EVMs in election. There may be adequate reasons for the same. What are those? It is not that we should not use EVMs in the country. About a billion people are the users, many of them are illiterates and, therefore, the pros and cons should be told them before asking them to use it. Of late, according to media reports, Election Commission has admitted that EVMs were h...

HOW TO TACKLE ANTISOCIAL ELEMENTS

Image
Any person as a habit or intention commit offence to disrupt peace in the society or in the country as a whole is called antisocial element. There is no any reliable data or statistics available to measure the depth of antisocial activities anywhere in the world. However, in general children and youngsters are falling victims of antisocial elements anywhere in the world. Narcotics are largely handled by antisocial elements. For earning petty money they persuade young ones to use narcotics. Once used, that one cannot return to normal life easily. Wide varieties of narcotics are largely spread in different states of India. The tiny state of Kerala alone, over 30,000 narcotics cases were registered by the police in the past year. Over 500 cases are being registered in every district of the state according to the media reports. The states like UP, Maharashtra, Punjab etc are either equal or ahead of Kerala. Antisocial elements are deeply involved in every field of the society. ...

HOW FAR WE HAVE TO GO?

Image
            View of the Galaxy  We  are travellers. We keep traveling always. Our journey is at a very high speed. Our earth rotates on it's axis at a speed of 1,600 km per hour and revolves around the sun at a speed of 1,07,000 km per hour. Our solar system is travelling around the galaxy at a speed of 7,20,000 km per hour. It takes 230 million years for the solar system to travel around the galaxy once. Then the galaxy rotates at a speed of 9,70,000 km per hour. It takes 200 billion years to complete one rotation. And above all these, everything is moving away from the centre of the universe at a speed more than the light. When we sit idle at one place, we are moving at an unimaginable speed. This is about our real travel. Then there is our mystic travel. In this travel we do not know where we are coming from, where we will end the journey and when we will end the journey. Let us make the journey a memorable one. We may well behave w...

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES OF A PERSON IN NATION BUILDING

Image
Generally in every system of government, as far as the people are concerned, there cannot be rights without obligations. In a democratic system of government, the members of the  government machinery too have stringent obligations towards country as well as the people. However in governments of certain countries do not adhere this strictly and the result will be absolute collapse of the system. We can observe this in some countries around the world. The reason for this is normally.due to some interference by the head of the government  Corruption is the key factor that destroys the economic system of a country initially and later the country itself will be collapsed. India is one of the highly corrupt countries in the world. As per Corruption Perception Index 2024 by Transparency International, India is placed at 38. The scoring pattern is "0 to 100". "0" is highly corrupt and "100" is very clean. A question may raise instantly as to what is th...

CAN DEMOCRACY BE A RELIGIOUS TRADING COMMODITY?

Image
For quite sometime we Indians find that leaders of different religions bargaining with political parties for the wholesale of votes of the followers of the respective religions to them as a consideration for certain give and take or reimbursement. Leaving some mild opposition here and there no any serious interference can be found against this from the people. The fundamental function of the religious leader is the charector formation of the members of the respective religions, teaching the faith, explaining the text of the Holy Books, leading the worship etc. In a democratic country, do they have the right to offer the votes en masse to any political party for any consideration is something to be seriously discussed. But it has become a practice in our country despite the fact that casting of votes under free will is the fundamental right in a democratic nation by every citizen. This right is being tried to trade by some third party sellers and buyers. I don't know who...

MAN AND STAR BECOME INVISIBLE SPIRITS AFTER DEATH'

Image
          (Images of Supernova) After death, tiny man on earth and the  gigantic star have something common. In order to make it more clear the spirits of both seem to be acting similarly. Birth of a star can be attributed to the clouds of dust scattered around most of the galaxies. Turbulance deep within the clouds gives rise to knots with sufficient mass that the gas and dust can begin to collapse under it's own gravitational pull. As long as the inward force of gravity and the outward force generated by the fusion reactions are equal, the star remains stable. The clouds are called nebulae and those are spread across many light years and contains enough mass to make several thousands stars as big as our sun. There cannot be much in common with the birth of a man and the birth of a star. However, in both cases there can be one thing that can be said nearly common. The birth take place in both from debris of earlier gener...

RELIGIOUS FAITH - INDIVIDUAL OR SOCIAL

Image
St Peters Basilica in Vatican City is the biggest church in the world. According to UN estimate the  world population at the mid year 2023 is 805 crores. As per the broad estimate by the sociologist Phil Zuckerman, there are about 75 crores people in the world do not believe in the existence of a God.  Therefore, the remaining 730 crores people believe in some form of God and follow some religion and their prescribed observance. There are about 4,000 recognised religions in the world. About 83% of the religious population in the world would fall in 12 major religions. When these are the basic statistics of the religions in the world, we discuss below whether religion and it's God are an individual matter or a social one. No man in the world has ever seen God or spoken to Him. Religion is scripted by man within his knowledge as per his needs. Almost all religions are revolving around imagination of primarily illiterate men comparing with the knowledge of today. Whet...
