SOCIOLOGICAL APPROACH

Priorities of the government.

Extraordinary time needs extraordinary leaders to resolve the impending issues, like oother world powers have achieved this by choosing magnetic personalities to the hot-seat. Like US which elected Abraham Lincoln at the time of civil war ,FDR at the time of Great Depression and now Obama at a time of fasr changing world's political landscape with all time high federal deficit , economic crisis and more importantly when washington's power corridors have differences over magnitude of their differences.
But we proud in installing smart puppetswho do'n have a sigle pie of political capital to invest in fast slipping ground.

MNS & SHIV SENA ( ironically both fathered by congress to gun down their political opponents ) are implementing their writ where congress has been catapulted to power third time in a row ( in alliance with NCP ) though home minister is trying hard to teach maoist a lesson in the midst of which came highly irresponsible declaration of congress supremo that naxal menace will be tackled through dialogue-- a move which may apparently provide congress election bonaza.

Indian born director of Washington based prestigious historical research institute's director Prof. Sudhir Khilwani said very recently in London that economics can not drive india .It needs policies which only those with political capital can frame. Government's writ is seriously under challenge in one-third of the geographical area. FII fuelled growth is luring elite only . Forbes list of 2009 says thirteen person of the nation -- including Mukesh Ambani who has petroleum ministry as his puppet( The Hindu 19/11/2009 )-- owns one-fourth of the nation's GDP!,such high is the disparity.

Government least bothered about price hike

Saavan mein jo andhe ho jaate hain , unhein har waqt har taraf hariyalee hi dikhati hai.
( Those who are privileged are always in denial about basic amenities for underprivileged section of the society.)

This famous proverb seems suitable for prevailing situation of the nation through the eyes of the mainstream media .Condition of the common man is like boiling frog -- frog being boiled do not comes to know but he slowly & firmly advances in the mouth of death – our policy makers armed with posh degrees, experience & words give euphemistic statements on the plight of aam aadami.

If you ask them, instantly they will provide you statistical makarjaal that inflation is hovering near this( some cosmeticised value ) and our economy is resilient. Now what should a layman do of this sugar coated data and resiliency of the economy, he should eat it or drink it or pour it in the drought hit fields.

Your economy is resilient then share market will thrive high and the investers--who are less than 0.5 % of the population--who are already on the top of country’s socio-economic pyramid will benefit.

In case this stock boom crumbles down due to misadventure of some high profile untamed business tycoon like Ramalinga Raju action will not be taken to restore the order, like Karnataka government ( ruling congress ) even did not allowed SEBI( Security and Exchange Board of India ) to grill him.

Later when SEBI armed it with court’s order it got a chance to grill this high profile dacoit. It shows the vulnerability of lower income group against the higher income group in the current regime.

One day I was going somewhere by rickshaw , at the termination of my journey rickshaw puller asked me for fifteen rupees, I said that I had paid for the same trip ten rupees merely three months ago.

He backfired with a razor sharp argument that “bhaiya teen maheene pehale aaloo aath mein tha bari taroi chh mein aur daal basath Rs./kg thi aur aaj”(three months before potato was Rs eight per kg , pulses Rs forty six per kg taroii six Rs per kg and now you know). I paid him while thinking about big-bang reforms of Manmohan Singh.

Media representatives of the Congress party and government claims that inflation is very low in contrast to it, inflation based on consumer price index has been and is around 9 % . In addition to it Murali Deora gave the green signal to price hike of petrol & diesel .

All India Motor Transport increased it’s fair charges combine it with effect of drought gives a hope that inflation is bound to increase in terms of inflation based on consumer price index.

The hike in price of petroleum derivatives reminded me of one more thing which I think will be suitable to mention here the natural gas controversy. RIL (Reliance Industries Limited ) had won the contract for KG (Krishna Godavari ) basin to sell the from it at $ 2.94 mmbtu which it increased to approx. $ 4.34 mmbtu .

Instead of asking RIL to honour It’s commitment, government stamped RIL’s pricing formula, if RIL went ahead will have wide ramifications like consumers will have to pay double of the stipulated price of natural gas , it will also torpedo the viability of gas based mega power projects resulting in environmental degradation.

Reportedly Mukesh Ambani ( chairman of ril) has close contact with high echelons of both Congress & BJP. He helped congress to steer out of majority test on the floor of house last year economically for alleged horse trading.

Information & Broadcasting minister A.Raja cost the national exchequer around rupees one lakh crore for few penny ( not so but vis-à-vis amount of the scam it is) taking notice of which Manmohan Singh requested to DMK supremo Karunanidhi not to give him portfolio of I&B in UPA-2 through M.K.Narayan and Ghulam Nabi Azad who backfired that allegations against A.Raja are not more than allegations of involvement of Congress’s first family in bofors case.

Let’s concentrate on agriculture minister & maratha satrap – who had high ambition for the post of prime minister before general election 2009 (I can not say he still have it or not) also held responsible for redirecting the resources only to his constituency’s regions resulting in plight of vidarbha region’s inhabitants—maintains the claim that procurement of grains by government agencies will be higher than previous year.

According to Amartya Sen’s study on china’s great famine ( 1956-1960 ) public starved despite high production due to decline in their purchasing power which it seems going to repeat in India .
Inflation and corruption will keep flowering, media will neither treat it as issue nor opposition, aam aadami is entitled to die as such.

How Congress came to power:a sociological approach

2009-05-21T06:55:00.000-07:00

Congress got only 206,although the whole UPA has achieved 263 means it needs only 9 seats for majority.it,ll manage the numbers.but if we see how it is going to select it,s new friends we can access the future plans of Congress.it is not going to take the support of SP,BSP,RJD, like parties which Congress accuses to be the casteist parties.
This could be understood that Congress will take all the pleasures of the scattered opposition.no party will be i position to bargain it,because when one will left the other one will be ready to support the government ''unconditionally''.this unconditional support shows the weakness of these regional parties not the acceptability of the congress.
The whole thing is that if Congress governs properly without it,s old prejudices it will certainly be better for the nation and Congress as well.
But if we look at the history of Congress then we get that it is not going to do the same as we expect from it.
TRENDS OF YOUTH:The youth of India is following the fashions,new branded clothes new multimedia technology.but SORRY TO SAY THAT INDIAN YOUTH ARE NOT MODERN AT ALL.they are more conservatives than their parents,grand parents.we see them using modern technology and assumes that they are too modern it is a very wrong assessment.
Why they voted congress,specially urban and metropolitan youth?they did not voted Congress because they did not like BJP,they became rational all of sudden in only five years.they voted Congress only to continue their openness,their luxurious life.
If you ask them whether there should be a Rama temple built up in Ayodhya most of the hindu urban youth will answer in yes.
So we should not expect too much from this so called ''modern'' Indian urban educated youth.
We must not expect from the Congress also because it knows what our youth wants.
Young girls like Rahul not because he is a good and energetic leader but because''he is too cute,his smile is very appealing''
Now we should wait and keep vigil on the performance of this Government.only after that we can conclude ''how India voted in General elections 2009''.
