For years India has been seen as one most promising economies in world. But things are changing swiftly and India is losing its position in world economy mainly in minds of the investors. It is not that the basics of India's economic growth story have changed. No it has not changed. The basics are the same and now that have become problem for Indian economy. It is true that India as an economic destination has huge potential and also strengths as well. But only India being a promising and place of huge opportunities cannot help us.
Business Environment in India and Entrepreneurship
Doing business in India as just business seems to have become something inferior and politics and business has become two sides of same coin although they simply are not even the same coin. In the recent times, we have seen so many unpleasant incidents taking place in business world of India. There have been so many revelations about the relationships between businesses and the politics in one way or other.
There was 2 G scam sometimes back this year that had huge negative impact on the business environment in which people like Mr. Ratan Tata and Reliance ADAG became party. Then Mr. Jagan from Andhra Pradesh was said to have made money because his father’s political influences and now it is time for Bellary’s Reddy brothers.
Reliance will do the WalMart
There have been so much outcry about the foreign direct investment in retail sector. All the stakeholders whether opposition parties or retailers have been shouting loud against FDI. It is perhaps the only issue when left meets right and right cherry with left else they are born enemies. Even many parties in the alliance were against the government’s proposal of allowing FDI in retail. Finally the government has called off the decision to allow FDI in retail. So entry of WalMart is postponed for now.India has Got her Poor Man
Believe India believe! Not surprising why India is considered as land of wonders. India has finally got her poor man in Sharad Pawar. Yes, News reports suggest that Mr. Sharad Pawar has a little assets of just Rs. 12 Crores. Meagre 12 crores.
This is an information that we are forced to accept. Now we Indians cannot question him of his hard earned money that is just Rs. 12 crores. Nor can we accuse him that looted money from all the foods and agricultural deals as central minister and chief minister. And those who have been say so are wrong. He is just another holy cow. Another poor guy who earns very less. Well done newspapers. You are really so caring.
Anna Breaks His Fast
After all government has agreed to constitute Jan Lokpal. So Anna has broken his fast. I am happy and think that it can be construed as our victory but it’s a long battle and will continue for longer than expected. So it’s imperative the pressure on the government is mounted until this proposed law becomes reality.
Anything is possible in politics and nothing is stable. It keeps on changing. So promised made today may not matter tomorrow for the government. So it’s very important that government is forced to not turn on.
Sorry but Anna is Turning Undemocratic
I don't understand whether to support Anna now or not. His agenda is the best thing India can hope for but the way he is now functioning i am finding it somehow undemocratic. Being arrogant is sometimes good for democracy but dictating the nation is never good.
What Anna is doing I appreciate and support in all the ways and forms. I have been part of this change since early days in June and July by participating in many events as a volunteer and some money as well. But we must decide what we want from this Lokpal? And do we want Lokpal under the current constitution or outside the preview of the constitution? Accountability is important for everyone. We have to decide in what way this Lokpal will function and at what would be the cost? And accountability too. Without accountability it will turn into another demon.
IIM-B Inclusive Business Model would not Work
News reports say that Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, under the program ‘Inclusive Business Model’, few students have to leave on meagre Rs. 20 a day. It looks good to hear it but in reality it is another gimmick that business schools across world are engaged into.
If it is possible that one can understand the pains and difficulties of the poor they suffer through by just having 20 rupees in pocket to spend that day for some days and security of returning back to AC rooms and five star dinners, then real world could have been more pleasant than ever. But the reality is that it is just mockery of the poor.
The Politician in Baba Ramdev is Now Taking Charge
News reports and Team Anna’s statement suggest that Baba Ramdev has supported the demands of political parties to exclude Prime Minister and higher judiciary from Lokpal ambit. This is really frustrating for common supporters like me to hear it. It seems our efforts would yield nothing but new sets of politicians.
The way Baba Ramdev has been talking for some time, the politician in Baba Ramdev is now taking charge. He is now behaving like a politician. A cunning politician.
Neo Terrorism
This is a strange world. Who is who is very difficult to recognize and in the world of diplomacy, it’s even more complicated. May be weird! Problems are often disguised but the problem makers are always.
The word terrorism itself is self-defining word. No explanation required. So seems in case of terrorist countries. But today there are many kinds of terrorist countries in this world. Some are well known as terrorist countries because of their activities. Pakistan is a living example of it. But there is another kind of terrorist countries too. One can call those as Neo Terrorist countries. These countries basically don’t breed terrorists in their own land but sponsor terrorism through money, arms, asylum, ideology and diplomatic support. But the biggest player of the game is the US.
Finally CBI Raids Suresh Kalmadi's House
Mr. Suresh Kalmadi has been charged with several charges of corruptions relating to prestigious Commonwealth Games 2010 and government as well as the investigating agencies have been busy sleeping in their adobe! Till the date they did not have time to consider this case. However India is country of miracles so finally our celebrated and intelligent CBI has managed to get some time to raid on the home and offices of Mr. Kalmadi after more than two months. Great!
