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.
