Kurmi Community to support Mr. Hardik Patel in Bihar?

Reservation politics is back in India, it could be the core topic in Bihar, where assembly election to be held. The reservation system is not new to Indian politics. It certainly built many leaders over in last six decades. It is time for Mr. Hardik Patel to gain some momentum from the same trump card in Indian politics.

Mr. Patel will address many rallies in Bihar in support of Kurmi Community demanding reservation for them in Other Backward Community (OBC). However, the close associate of Mr. Patel made it clear that they have nothing to do with the ongoing political race or campaign in Bihar.

Interestingly, the chief minister of Bihar also belong to Kurmi Community, who said to be supported the movement of Mr. Patel and Patidar Samaj for their reservation. This could be another interesting deciding factor in Bihar assembly elections.

The first Kurmi caste association had been formed in 1894 at Lucknow to protest against the police recruitment policy. Mr. Patel picked proper state at right time to push his movement. This could be another landmark judgment in his career after agitation in Gujarat that made him popular in short span of time.

Reservation is only an issue of employment for community candidates rather it sentimental perception. The history of Kurmi community shows that it has been active in Bihar elections since long. Many leaders took support of the community in elections. This time the issue –the reservation for the community will also weigh high on Bihar assembly elections.

It is noteworthy that the central government made its stand over the reservation issue. The entry of Mr. Patel in Bihar though not for political purpose but it certainly have higher degree of impact on the assembly elections.

In the days to come, many leaders may come forward to capitalize the issue of reservation for Kurmi community and other communities as well.After all election means several issues related to voters and their development and sentiments.

On the flip side of the reservation issue, it is political parties those are going to pay for it – playing with the issue as results may favor or go against. But it is win-win situation for Mr. Patel, who is going to get the support of Kurmi Community in Bihar.

Kashmir Issue: Indo-Pak NSA Level Talks called off

By Neel Achary 

Much awaited Indo-Pak NSA level talks derailed over the issue of Kashmir,that was not raised when the proposed talks were taken a form at Ufa meeting, and both the nations stick to their grounds. The issue of Kashmir was the main bone of contention that shadows the talks between two countries. The core issue has been terrorism and Pakistan has been on back foot to discuss about for two reasons. First the cross border terrorism - a terrorist Usman was apprehended by Indian police recently. And the second reason that the revelation of under world don Dawood Ibrahim residing in Pakistan.

Cross border terrorism is open truth that - it is being sponsored by Pakistan and Pak Army. Heavy firing along the border by the troops of Pakistan, as expected they do cover militants crossing border bid. This was evident from the Kargil War. A terrorist from Pakistan, has been captured and being interrogated by Indian officials. And, case of Kasab was the brightest example to

The country has been sponsoring terrorism for many decades and India is one of the soft target among other Asian countries. India witnessed biggest attacks like - Attack of Parliament and Mumbai Attack. Hardly do the people of this country would forget those coward attacks.

It is the greatness of Prime Minister of Modi, who during the Ufa meet, held talks with his counter part and gave ascent to visit Pakistan in 20165, but his commitments for peace back fired as Pakistan diplomatically avoided the NSA level talks with India.

The second reason, the revelation of Dawood Ibrahim, is said to be the biggest drawback for the country that has been denying his presence. According to media reports, the Don owned nine house in Pakistan, has phone connection, visits to various countries with Pakistan issued passport.

The two reasons are enough to understand Pakistan's policy on terrorism and stand of its leaders. They just used Separatist leader as trump card at a proper time, so that they can bailout self from international humiliation.

The failure of talks would work as eye opener for the countries those supporting Pakistan..

Do you have two minutes for Maggi?

By P Neelakantha Achary, 
Editor, Business News This Week

Maggi is the popular food item India, no doubt about that. Ask any layman, you will get answer a best dish to serve in just two minutes. Hardly do many of us thought about the food safety standards and its limits. Thanks to media, otherwise we would have been continuing – two minutes food item - Maggi food as we have been doing for long.

At this point of time, we missed to judge it completely. Even we did not spare two minutes to think about its impact on health let alone on kids. Interestingly, there was discussion on maggi and food standard on news channel. One panelist in the programme backed maggi as safe, since she has been eating from her childhood. Now, she is adult and no health complaints at all. She got a good reply from the moderator that “thank God..Your alive”….

Ridicules, to hear such arguments in favor of a product that consists 17 times of lead, a chemical that is considered as dangerous, than permitted level. Being a media person, I do judge all the sides, without which the conclusion or view would be partial. Many of us are just ignoring food standards. Why we not to think about it before serving a dish that could be hazardous for us.

It’s not about going against one company or a group of companies, it is about our health. The big question raises that why this product is being sold in the market, and who gave the permission. Now, one-by-one states are in state to ban it from the market, which I believe could have done much before any media brining the matter into limelight.

The fourth pillar – media, once again worked as guardian of our society. The action of media is in the interest of common people and their health. And, it will be ever praised by the people of India. A two minutes story on Maggi, made all of to think about it – Two Minutes before serving it in just Two minutes.

Give me Five Questions - Please?

Photo credit:  ibnlive.in.com

There is series of 'Five Questions' quzz everywhere from Delhi to Goa. BJP put five questions to Aam Admi Party (AAP) for Delhi elections. Why Congress should calm of the issue? So, it came put 'Five questions' to BJP in Goa.

BJP asked the question the AAP and media has all the five questions. But, Congress's five questions set for BJP is not disclosed, it has prepared but not unfold the cards yet. Seems, Congress party has assigned its top brass leaders in the assignment to prepare these questions.

One thing is missing in the five questions, are these questions has any relation with Common Man,,,may be not. Here, I would like to pay tribute to 'Common Man' , the great cartoonist  R K Laxam, who is no more. In the field of journalism he left is mark for ever.

Lets come to main topic of five questions sets.There is one more question about these 'five questions'... why only five.. why not 10 or 20? Who is stopping anyone to raise questions? Recently we celebrated 66th Republic Day and we have many questions for the leaders those ruled us for nearly 6 decades.

Parties have been ruling the country and so as the people electing them for these time. A lay man may have questions, but the drawback is he or she has no voice.. means party or any power? Another interesting about this - just like game shows - question will remain but other things will change.

Will the parties be raise these questions once the election are over? If yes, then we are in true democracy, and if not then election, politics are just eye wash.

NITI Aayog: What makes its Significant?

Recently, NITI Aayog or National Institution for Transforming India Aayog has been constituted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi disbanding 65 year old Planning Commission of India.

As per the structure, the Prime Minister will the Chairman as used to be Planning Commission. Lets have a look on the other officials of the NITI Aayog.

Arvind Panagariya has been appointed as Vice Chairman. The institution has total seven union ministers in the panel and the chief ministers of states and Lt. Governors are in Governing Council.

Well, this is the fist time any such institution has given privilege to chief ministers, comparing to the working model of planning commission, this was not possible even to hear the chief ministers concerns.

However, they used to meet the vice chairman of planning commission, but the allocation were subject as per the five year plans and other criteria in force.

So, NITI Aayog is scoring more comparing the model of functioning of planning commission. The seven union minister in the panel of NITI Aayog are - Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley, Suresh Prabhu and Radha Mohan Singh were Ex-Officio Members. Where as, Nitin Gadkari, Smriti Zubin Irani and Thawar Chand Gehlot are Special Invitees.

Bibek Debroy and V. K. Saraswat were full time members and Sindhushree Khullar is Chief Executive Officer of NITI Aayog.

Indian economy need an institution which plan allocations of resources and execute plans adopting a growth model. Whenever we talk about Indian economy, it is obvious that we go for a mixed economy model neither capitalist nor fully welfare.

In this aspect, the Gandhian model of economic growth will be a good fit for our economy. On the contrary, the planning commission was not seen adopting these models in last 65 years.

Rural development is the core model of Gandhian principles on Indian economy. That does not mean discourage modern or big industries.

It seems, NITI Aayog will draw a line between protection and promotion of rural development through industrialisation. And, keeping the growth momentum of large scale industries.

This makes NITI Aayog a significant institution that could bring a big change in the planning and resources allocation keeping the growth model in mind.

Political parties do mega campaign to get the attention of voters and their vote in election. The results of exit poll could affect their vote bank. News channels are being widely watched in India, and people do watch election news with great interest.

Since the voice or willingness of the voters are being taken in the exit poll, during the time of the exit polls that is real. And during the election time, the respondents may change their opinion while voting. And the variation is sure and natural.

Political parties too have been taking the results of exit polls seriously, as those have been indicating their presence or hold in their reason. And before the election if they come to know about the poor presence, then they could take a cue from the exit poll and start preparing the ground from their areas to win the elections.

And the exit polls do influence the other voters about the political parties and it is common. A voter may give vote to a party that is being accepted by many voters in exit polls. Exit polls are scientific and true sine those represent the voice of the voters – respondents.

The important thing is that diplomatic management over the cross border terrorism, putting pressure on the neighbour is not only the solution to stop the terrorism.

Time has come to act on further to save the life of people including our army and police force. How long India would wait to thing to get fixed automatically?

One day, the social media could also reach the top position, where the users’ opinion could bring many fold changes into the society – politically. The social networking sites like –facebook, twitter, Google plus and linked in have been widely accepted by the people in the world including Indians.

Political leaders come to know about the greater role the social media is going have in future. Now you can follow prominent leaders on some sites and put your questions.

Fuel prices hiked in India again

The oil companies have hiked the price of petrol by 70 paise and diesel by 50 paise with effect from Thursday. The hike in the price of crude in the international market caused the hike in the fuel prices in India. The depreciation in Rupees against US dollar was also another reason behind hike in the fuel prices in India.

The petrol and diesel prices were hiked around six times in last six months and thanks to the government effort which deregulated the petrol and diesel prices leaving companies to adjust price according to market conditions.

Customers need to pay more the petrol and diesel from Thursday and that would sure going to affect their household budget. The hike in the diesel price would have cascading effect on the other goods and services; those are being largely depending on transportation.

The energy (petrol and diesel) is now one of the essential goods and services in the country and become basic need for the people unlike earlier it was tagged as luxurious goods.

Political Reforms Begin in India

 

The Supreme Court on Wednesday has given a landmark verdict that politicians can’t fight elections from jail. That said the era of convicted political ends in India and the nation has been heading towards the much awaited political reforms.

The verdict by the apex court would boost the confidence among the people that some good changes in Indian politics are on cards. Considering the next general election of 2014 many politicians would be unfit to fight election.

The election commission of India will act accordingly to stop the convicted political leaders from contesting elections. The Supreme Court cleared that disqualification would not be applicable to a person subjected to preventive detention under any law.

According to media reports, in 2009, number of MPs with criminal charges has risen to 162 from 128 in 2004. However, MPs charged with rape, murder, kidnapping and extortion dipped to 274 in 2009 from 296 in 2004.

There is need to clean Indian politics from criminals contesting elections and being elected to Parliament and Assemblies. And the verdict would be a great tool in the hand of the election commission to disqualify the tainted politicians.

India needs political reforms to safeguard the biggest democracy in the world, the real meaning of the democracy – of the people, for the people and by the people.

Somewhere, the true meaning of democracy has been tampered due to the criminal politicians using money and muscle power while contesting elections.

Impact of new banks on Indian Economy?

The Reserve Bank of India has given green signal for new banking license that said the once the process is completed the new banks would be there in banking sector. Many private companies and non-financial institutions could start private banks in India.

The nationalization of banks is the milestone in Indian banking system that boomed the economy. There are many private banks in India apart from the 19 nationalized banks. The apex bank would aim to check the money laundering and other various norms in the banking before allowing more private players into the banking sectors.

Recently there were reports about the violation of norms by various banks in the media and the RBI has taken stern actions in that directions. Another important duty of the RBI is – its custodian of Indian economy, being playing the role, the bank would try to check the liquidity into the market.

The high inflation and devaluation of rupees against the US dollar are some of the major challenges the RBI has to address with more stern action. Liquidity is the major cause for many fiscal crises in the country and those would be in the priority to-do list of the apex bank.

With the entry of the new banks into the sectors, the task to check the liquidity and cash flow into the market would be big challenge for the apex bank to follow. More branches involve more transactions boosting the velocity of money in the economy.

That could be help the economy in boosting market conditions as well as fueling inflation, as the too much money chasing to too few goods. On the other hand, the credit market would also take a big leap with the entry of new banks; the volume of credit market in terms of loans would go up.

There would another danger for the bank having non-performing assets, which could also have adverse impact on the economy’s health. If the credit market, bad recovery and non-performing assets would go up beyond control the sure that could adverse the growth pace of the Indian economy.

There is no doubt that the new banks would prove positive for the economy , as in the guidelines the apex bank has said that more branches need to be opened in the rural areas. This is going to be the best thing that the bank tried to boom the rural banking sector, which said to be in gloom for many years.

Indian economy needs a big push to keep its growth rate moving forward from 5 per cent to 8-9 percent in coming years. And the entry of new banks could help the economy to revive and cherish during ongoing global economic slowdown.

Indian Economy is on Slowest Growth Path

The Indian economy has been on slow pace in the fiscal year 2012-13. The GDP rate is at 5 per cent, once the figure was achieved in last decade. There were days when it had been speculated that the country would achieve the double digit growth rate. Now the scenario has been just reverse to that, the growth rate is at 5 percent rather achieving 10 per cent.

The headline inflation and the key interest rates have hampered the growth rate. Adding insult to injuries, the sectors and industrial index were never upto the market in boosting the economy. The IIP was seen in negative and zero, manufacturing sector was seen helpless in heightening Indian economy.

The year 2012 was full of macroeconomic problems for the economy. And the economy was battling against the high inflation rate, which once was touched to double digit.

The slow growth rate would be a big challenge for the UPA coalition government to tackle. However, the headline inflation was seen moderating in the April 2013, which made the Reserve Bank of India to cut the interest rates, ultimately the impact was loud and clear on the equity market in India.

The stock market was achieved the psychological mark of 20,000 and retained the confidence of the rattle investors, those were in concern due to slow growth rate and de-railing economic reforms in India.

The major concern for the UPA government is that it has limited time to revive the economy or act fast on the economy reforms. In 2014, the nation would witness the mega polls. The government would try to revive the economy before it approaches to the voters and it will also try to have some good ranks to its report card.

Sarabjit: A death of Indian in Pakistan Jail

Once again the ugly face of Pakistan jail mets witnessed in terms of the death Indian prisoner  - Sarabjit Singh, who was in Pakistan jail for last 23 years. Recently, he was attacked by inmates in the jail, and on Thursday he breathed his last.

After the hanging the terrorist, Kasab, it was the duty of the Pakistan jail authority to provide adequate security to the Indian prisoners in Pakistan. But seems hardly do that was implemented.

After the death of Sarabjit Singh in Pakistan, Indian government has re-issued advisory to all state governments to ensure proper security to 220 Pakistan prisoners in Indian jails.

The death of Indian prisoners could not be taken lightly, as it was not the failure of the security system in the Pakistan, but raised may questions over the moral.

This could be a biggest political game inside Pakistan for the election victory. And may be a trump card to play the game of politics in Pakistan.
