In Which direction My India is going

What is happening in India?Why our GDP has gone down?Why the citizens of India are struggling with rising inflation?Why in modern India where secularism is rising then why vote banks politics? Why we are not able to tackle terrorism?Why?Why?Why?


Battered by scams and misgovernance, the government’s second-generation economic reforms have ground to a halt. GDP growth has stalled, the rupee is sharply down and the trade gap has widened to an annualised $165 billion. Rising prices – especially of food – are due both to supply-side bottlenecks and a misguided government decision to raise steeply the price it pays for rabi and kharif. This will keep inflation in double digits well into next year. Inflation could be the government’s single biggest policy failure and vote-loser.
One of the biggest factor which is taking our country in negative direction is vote bank politics by grabbing votes from muslim and minoroties. The policy of appeasing Muslims rather than educating them continues. Just over 426 million Indians voted in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections. That amounted to 59.70% of India’s 714 million eligible voters. Out of these, 119 million voted for the Congress. And of these 119 million Congress votes, more than 55 million votes came from an estimated 105 million eligible Muslim voters. Without the Muslim vote, the Congress might have been hard pressed to win 120 seats in the Lok Sabha in 2009. Congress policy on Muslims is therefore startlingly simple: appease, don’t educate – lest they become progressive and demand genuine secularism which would place them at the heart of India’s socio-economic story, voting individually in future on real issues rather than en masse.


Regarding terrorism,the UPA government has failed to halt terrorism externally from Pakistan or internally from Maoists. Fortunately, Pakistan is so immersed fighting the terror,it has created that it now has  less time left to bleed India. This has allowed Home Minister P. Chidambaram to claim credit for lower levels of crossborder terrorism despite his failure to get the National Counter-Terrorism Centre  in place even three years after the 26/11 Mumbai attack. The growing rapproachment with Pakistan, in evidence at the SAARC summit in the Maldives, is however a positive sign of how geoeconomics can offer a lasting solution to peace in South Asia.




By this blog once again i want to say "Wake up India Wake up"

My Birthplace Patna

I was born in a middle class kayastha family at Patna,the capital city of Bihar.Though my native place is Bhojpur district in Bihar,since my father use to work at Patna i spend the first seven years of my childhood here.Many of my relative still lives their and quite often I use to visit them.
            Since my dad has got transferable job,we keep on moving from one city to another all over India.But during my vaccation whenever we use to visit this city we use to see the condition of city detoriating day by day.The rising crime,detoriating conditions of roads,not having proper shops,the worst condition of hospitals etc use to make me feel that i was born in the city of hell.The city which was once the capital of the greatest emperors of India was declining into hell.But on other hand the city had some positive points too.The city had tourist attraction like khumrar,planetorium,gol ghar and city is one of the leading place in the country in terms of delicious mouthwatering foods.

                             But since last few years the city witnessed tremendous change like better law and order,better quality of roads,lots of new flyover,new retail markets,large no of investments by private companies.But the most important change is in the implementation of new economic reforms by the state government which not only increased the per capita income of the city but also made it one of the leading business market of India.The city experienced good response from the customers in each and every kind of Business activities.As of 2011, the economy of Patna has seen sustained economic growth. In particular, the economy has been spurred by growth in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods industry, the service sector, along with Green revolution businesses.

It was not only the citizens of Bihar but the various marketing and industrial gurus who had doubt over the potential of the city but now all of them are surprised to see the potential of the city.Still the city needs lots and lots of development and various development work in the city is going on but what I personally feel is that Patna is a sleepy dragon,it deserves everything like other metropolitant city.Now with lot of change going on within the city,it is the right time for this dragon to awake and take the world by surprise.

Only our Reponsiblity Can Make It Possible

The word responsiblity itself means response and possiblity.Response towards anything can only make it possible.Being an young generation Indian and looking at the present scenario,it is the matter to think that why our India lags behind in various aspects.The rising corruption and vote bank politics itself give rise to the situation that Sau me se ninyanbe beiman,fir bhi mera Bharat Mahan(99  amonsgt the hundred  are corrupt then also our country is great).


                                                     Other Asian countries like China,Japan,Malasiya,Singapore,Korea,UAE and Taiwan are head of us in the various aspects of development.It has been sixty four years of our independence but  still we are categorized as a developing nation.Being seventh largest country in terms of area and having sixty percent of fertile land and having more than ten big rivers and more than one lakh companies(including small and medium scale) our economy ranks on the forty second place in the world.


                                                People say that we lag good Prime Minister or Chief Minister or Policemen or high quality security force.Now just think that how many of us are good citizens or how many of us fullfill our responsibliy honestly.Taking example of a cricket team which wins the match,it just dose not require one good captain but it reqiures full fleged effort from the playing eleven.It is the 100 crore people who creates India.Prime Minister or the other leaders are from us only.If we work for our responsiblity honestly then only our nation can rise.It is the responsiblity of each and every Indian whether he/she is Anna Hazzare or Baba Ramdev,to raise his voice against corruption.It is the responsiblity of each and every citizen to raise his voice against the black money kept at Swiss bank and other foreign Bank.But what we see in the media is that the people are pointing fingure on the property of Ramdev and Anna and when it comes to the matter of 2G  or CWG or Adarsh Society everyone in our government becomes silence.


WAKE UP INDIA WAKE UP


The biggest power on earth is youth power and if this power is used in correct direction to build a good human being in ourselves to fight against anything happening bad and develope this quality,no one can stop our India to become a superpower.

Is India Safe for We the Indians

The recent terrorist attack on Mumbai has once again raised the question that –Is India safe for Indians?The bomb blast on the date 13^th July 2011 has lead to death of more than twenty people and injured more than hundred.

Though the terrorist have attacked us after long time but the matter is that why do they dare to attack us?Is their any fault in the security sytem or do we lack better quality of service from our Police or various organization of defence force or is their a matter of high level corruption in home ministry. After 26/11 attack they have targeted our nation third time and still no action has been taken against them.Still terrorist like Ajmal Kasab and Afzal Guru are not being hanged though the supreme court have orderd death sentence for them.No clue of those militants have been found who have attacked Pune and Varanasi during last two years.If fast and furious action is not taken against them they will keep on attacking us.

After various terrorist activities in our nation,when  it is the time when whole nation needs to stand united against those terrorist,statements  from some of our leaders(using the word honourable for them will be abuse to our nation) is trying to create national disintegrity amongst us as that of Raj thackrey blaming north Indians migrant or Digvijay Singh blaming the hindus behind this attack and referring hindu as a terrorist.Also statements from the so called yuvraj of congress,Rahul Gandhi refering the 13 july attack as a small one makes it clear that he is not either interested in taking action on terrorist or he want a big attack like 26/11 again and then only action will be taken against the terrorist.

By this blog,I want to conclude that we Indians being on the verge of becoming superpower and having third largest defense force are not able to defend ourselves from these terrorist and if this kind of terrorist activities continues than the day is not too far when situation in our nation will become similar to that of our so called neighbor Pakistan.

THE CUP WHICH WE DESERVE...

 At two wickets down for 31, chasing a target of 275 in a World Cup final, it all seemed to be headed in Sri Lanka's direction. In all ODIs since 2000, a first-innings total of 270 or more had been a winning score 394 times, while only 100 times had it been chased down. Add to that the pressures of the occasion - only twice in nine previous finals had the team batting second won a World Cup final, plus no side had ever lost their first wicket without a run on the board - and there was no doubt about which team held the whip at that stage.

That's when India's middle order stepped up, with a couple of stunning partnerships that completely turned the run-chase around. Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir's 83-run partnership consumed only 15.3 overs and resurrected India's innings, while the Gambhir-MS Dhoni stand more or less sealed the deal, adding an outstanding 109 off 19.4 overs to ensure the highest sucessful run-chase in a World Cup final.

The highlight of both those partnerships was the manner in which the batsmen soaked up the pressure, kept the risks to a minimum, and yet scored their runs at an excellent rate. In the third-wicket stand, Gambhir and Kohli scored only 32 out of 83 runs in fours and yet scored at 5.35 runs per over. Gambhir and Dhoni were even better, scoring 32 out of 109 in fours, yet achieving a run-rate of 5.54.

Going into this innings, Dhoni's performances with the bat had been disappointing, but there were no half-measures about the way he batted on Saturday. He showed, once again, his ability to excel in a run-chase: in 81 innings when he has batted second, Dhoni averaged 50.92, with 19 fifties and two hundreds. Among batsmen who've scored at least 2500 runs batting second, only Michael Bevan has a higher average.

Of the 91 runs he scored, more than half - 48 - came in the region between point and mid-off, several of them through back-foot punches off the spinners. Muttiah Muralitharan went for 22 off 22 balls, while Suraj Randiv conceded 14 off 15, as Dhoni repeatedly made room and played against the spin, carving the ball through cover and extra cover.

The other key contribution came from Gambhir, who clearly relishes playing Sri Lanka. Four of his nine ODI hundreds have come against them, and he almost made it a fifth with a superbly paced 97. One of the key tasks he accomplished was playing out Muralitharan and Lasith Malinga: 42 out of the 122 balls he faced were from them, and though he scored only 28 from those deliveries, he did his job by playing out a fair number.

The key partnerships for India

For wkt	Runs	Balls	1s/2s	4s/6s
3rd	83	93	27/9	8/0
4th	109	118	49/ 11	8/ 0

Overall, there was little to choose between the Sri Lankan and Indian innings. India played seven fewer dots, but one of the impressive aspects of the Indian chase was the fact that they ran 24 twos, which shows the intent and aggression in the team during the chase.

The Sri Lankan and Indian innings

Team	Score	Dots	1s/2s	4s/6s
Sri Lanka	274 for 6	146	108/ 17	27/ 2
India	277 for 4	139	99/ 24	25/ 2

The win meant that, for the first time in a World Cup final, a centurion ended up in the losing team. Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards, Aravinda de Silva, Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist had all scored hundreds in winning causes, but Mahela Jayawardene's sublime 103 not out wasn't enough to seal the win for Sri Lanka. None of that was Jayawardene's fault, though, as he crafted a magnificent knock, scoring at least a run a ball against each of the Indian bowlers. Zaheer Khan, so incisive in his opening spell, was taken apart by Jayawardene, who scored 23 from 14 balls off Zaheer.

The flawless manner in which Jayawardene batted made it look as if he was batting on another pitch. A comparison of his innings' stats with those of the other Sri Lankan batsmen illustrate the gulf: Jayawardene didn't score off less than 32% of the deliveries he faced; for the rest of his team, that percentage was more than 56.

This was also the first of Jayawardene's 14 ODI hundreds which ended in defeat. Considering how classy the knock was, it probably deserved a better result.

Helpless But She Has Hope....

It is a story about a lady who hails from  Nadia district in West Bengal,which is around few kilometers from the capital city of Kolkata.The story involves a lady name Devanjana Dhar who was born to a businessman in Nadia in September 1974 and her great grandfather was part of Bengal reform army led by Mastereda Surya Sen.Her father was owner of jute development factory in early 1970s at Nadia which also  generated economy of that particular village.

But during 1983 when whole nation was celebrating cricket world cup victory the factory was shut down due to the politics which was played by West Bengal Government.That not only affected Devanjana’s family but many in that particular village in Nadia.After few year she became homeless as her father was shown notice to vacate his own house as the notice read that the house was illegal.Her father was not able to tolerate this and after few years he died.In order to get some hope Devanjana with her mother  moved to Kolkata(that time Calcutta)  where her mother worked as a sweeper in a school.Thirteen year old devanjna left the school and started working with her mother so that both of them atleast are able to earn food for their stomach.After few years,that is in early 1990s her mother also died.Devanjana was left helpless and hopeless.But she did not gave her hope.She started working as a maid servant  in various house and somehow she managed rupees five hundred in a month.

After few years she married a man who sells fried potato balls(golgappa in hindi and fuchka in Bengali)in the streets of Kolkata.Both husband and wife work hard not in order to earn something for their stomach but for their two daughters-Nilanjana and Niharika who are between 3 to 6 years.

By this story I just want to show how the people are still struggling in 21^st century India which is on the verge to become superpower.

2010-THE YEAR OF HIGH AND LOW

It is difficult to describe India in 2010 without invoking the concept of Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam(some time happiness,some time sadness). The year  has seen the best of times, as also the worst of times.

If the economy revived with steady growth, inflation remained a concern and reforms were sluggish.

The world hailed India not as an emerging power but as one that had 'emerged'.

At home, however, governance hit a new low, as corruption charges against the government dampened overall morale, affected its functioning and paralysed the entire winter session of Parliament. Never before in recent past had a year seen such stark contrasts.

The Indian economy roared back in 2010, with the Gross Domestic Product, or gross domestic product, growing at 8.6 per cent in the first quarter (January-March) and then going up a notch closer to nine per cent in the next two quarters of April-June and July-September.Yet the over all outlook remained bright with the industrial growth which is set to go very low if the the condition of inflation continues.It was the year in which whole country was enjoying the high growth rate of industrialization and fast recovery from global recession on one hand and on other hand the country was crying with the tear of onion(in hindi what we say pyaz ke aansu).The high inflation rate continues to be in double digit.The rising price of petrols,diesels are acting as a burner  and the burn which has been created by this inflation is acting like a physical,mental and psychological torture on the middle class and the condition of people below poverty line is detoriating.

Coming to the point of security and safety-The year saw large number of train accident like the collison of trains in Uttar Pradesh or the derailment of Gyaneshwari Express near Kharagpur.Though India witnessed just a 2 minor terrorist attack(one at Pune and other at Varanasi) but the Naxal attacks were at high extent.One of the example is derailment of Gyaneshwari Express which witnessed the deaths in large amount.The other areas which were affected by Naxalites attack were Lalgarh in West Bengal,Dantewada in Chattisgarh and some areas of Bihar,Jharkhand and Orissa.But also by various operations of police forces in Orissa and Jharkhand many of these red rebels either surrenderd or were killed.Also we saw peacefull solution of Babri Masjid issue without any violence.

Coming to the point of sports-The year also saw rise and downfall in the field of sports.On one hand we hosted succesfull Commonwealth Games but we saw downfall of Indian hockey in the hockey world cup or the performance of India in Asiad at China.But there were many factors which had positive impact on Indian sports like India winning Asia Cup Cricket by ending fifteen years of drought and standing second amongst the countries in Commonwealth Games.Also many factors which arised just a month before the CWG like stadiums not ready for the Games or floods in Delhi or the collapse of bridge near the CWG village led to the bad impression of Indian sports in the world.But the tremendous and successful show by our national capital led  to lots and lots of appreciation from the world specially from Australia,who poked the fun on India for not meeting the requirement.

Coming to the point of rise in corruption-The year saw rise huge rise in corruption like 2-G scam,CWG funds mismanagment or the Adarsh Society Scam which led to popularity of people like A Raja,Suresh Kalmadi,Nira Radia,Arun Shourie etc.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh removed A Raja as the communications minister, but the Opposition continued to demand the institution of a joint parliamentary committee, or JPC, to probe the allegations.

In an unprecedented breakdown of Parliamentary traditions in Independent India, the entire winter session of Parliament remained paralysed, as the Opposition refused to allow conduct of any business while the government, too, stuck to its stand that there was no need for a JPC.

Talking about Indian Politics-Prime

 Minister Manmohan Singh was a picture of paradox in 2010.

The world hailed him as a great leader and the G-20 summits at Montreal and Seoul showed how global leaders looked up to him for guidance and advice.

Never before had leaders of five members of the Security Council visited India in the same year in the gap of a few weeks and made friendly noises.

Yet, at home, Singh has appeared as a leader beleaguered by charges of corruption against his government on the Commonwealth Games and the allocation of 2G telecom licences.One another hand a India saw change in polical scenario like the clean Image of leaders like Naveen Patnaik and Nitish Kumar.

With respect to above points I would conclude by saying that the year of 2010 was the year of High and Low...

NARENDRA MODI-THE TRUE INDIAN

As everyone knows what dose the word "Indian" means but then also I would like to describe this word in my own way which is as follow-

1.An Indian is a one who fullfils his/her duty with his/her hardwork.

2.An Indian is a one who keeps the promise dose not break them.

3.An Indian is a one who apprecite the good work done by other(whether he/she is enemy or friend).

4.An Indian is a one one who works for welfare of other Indian,his country without discriminating each other on the basis of caste,religion,region and language.

 

Talking about Shri Narendra Modi,the cheif minister of Gujarat and the progress which he has made,the impression has come out to be that he is most hardworking leader of our country.He has fullfilled all the promises which he made when he took oath as cheif minister of Gujarat and mostly the development of Gujarat and welfare of people in Gujarat in last 8-10 years and the economic growth of Gujarat,which has contributed a lot to economic growth of our country.One of the incident during his reign which is Godhra riot  he made his image as a communalist  leader.But I think that he has punished those people who in the fake name of Islam have burned the train which was carrying Hindu Pilgrimes,which lead to Godhra riots. But the economic development which he made in Gujarat has benefited all the Gujaratis whether they are Hindu or Muslims.

I would like to give a breif description of his development.Modi took charge of Gujarat when its economy was shrinking and the domestic growth was stagnant.Faced with massive economic losses, he re-organised the government's administrative structure and embarked upon a massive cost-cutting exercise.As a result of his elaborate efforts, Gujarat registered a GDP growth rate of over 10% during his first tenure. This was the highest growth rate among all the Indian states.As a Chief Minister, Modi concretely put to practice his envisaged Gujarat by means of various yojana. This includes 

Panchamrut Yojana, a five-pronged strategy for an integrated development of the state, Sujalam Sufalam, a scheme to create a grid of water resources in Gujarat in an innovative step towards water conservation and its appropriate utilization.

• Krishi Mahotsav – agricultural research labs for the land
• Chiranjeevi Yojana – to reduce infant mortality rate
• Matru Vandana – providing preventive and curative services under the Reproductive and Child Health Programme
• Beti Bachao – campaign to protect baby girls to improve sex ratio
• Jyotigram Yojana – to electrify every village
• Karmayogi Abhiyan – to educate and train government employee
• Kanya Kalavani Yojana – to encourage the education of girls
• Balbhog Yojana – for midday meal for students

Looking at these developments and the policy which he made,the other states of our nation started following the work which Mr Modi has done in Gujarat.For example the same work are being done by Shri Nitish Kumar in Bihar ,Shri Naveen Patnaik in Orissa and Shri Raman Singh in Chattisgarh and the economic growth in these states have contributed a lot in Economic Growth of our country.So I would say that it is Narendra Modi who has Contributed a lot not only in Economic developement of Gujarat but also in Economic development of India.

By the above statement and the last paragraph of my blog I would say that Shri Narendra Modi is a true Indian..

Jai Hind..
