Is not it enough...or we do need more to wake up??????



I am very much fascinated about India...everything fascinates me,,,I like to dig beyond the darkness of past and search and very amazed to know that India was the wealthiest nation not too much ago just 300-400 years back....in every respect...

But what happened which makes India what it is today????
No need to search or going through the books ,,rather ask your own self,,,you will get to know...its us... yes we make it the way it is today...

Just read somewhere that last Nizam of hyderabad was one of the all time richest of world if we consider the inflation with a whopping 236 billion dollar!..India has 600 princely states  and Hyderabad was just one....

India never invaded any country because it never required to do so...by any means technically, spiritually or economically it was the Best...
Columbus never wanted to discover America rather India,,because king of Spain was so greedy to hear the affluence of India that he could not resist to send Columbus to search for India,,,by mistake he discovered America..and with just 300 years plus legacy America is the largest of economy  ..but India has at least 5000 years of civilization..I just don't believe on Max muller's Aryan Invasion theory..(every old is not gold,,,Indian historian and archaeologist need to work on this rather copying what their western counter part says)....

We are not at all patriotic... sad to say but its true fact...we always want that someone should do it for us,,even I am writing this blog and hoping someone would read it and say,,wow! India has so many great things lets do something!

Mahmud of Ghajni looted India 17 times,Mughals(at least they are better they stay back in India) Britishers raped the economy of India for thousands of years and after this also India have scope for being super power! Incredible...

But whats the main concerns...we never had the platform for the innovation at least in last thousand years...which the western countries do have,,,they give a fair chance to the innovator..and we just don't trust on ours potential...as long as some Jamshedji Tata, Dhirubhai Ambani, Birla,  Munjals does not come and defend our supremacy we give values on western...

We are ready to accept shit in a brown pack as delicious cake if we find a western brand on that,,no matter how good we Indian produce the cakes:-) jokes apart but true...

We enjoy watching News hour with Arnab Goswami and after that we concluded ,,,yes these politicians have looted our money  but frankly not even 1% of us wants to be politicians...why because we want a nice life 10-5 job and common  we all know,,,

The worst performer in schools,,the goons they became the leader,,,and we believe on the symbols of the party and elected them and they get the license to loot us for next  five years and again license is renewed..


I have never given a vote..because I never think the person who is contesting deserved it....

We are one of the youngest nation in terms of average age of populations,,,but see our politicians,,,oldest..:-)

Because who will come forward...you,,,me? common dude we are good at barking,,,not in biting hoping someday someone will do it for us...

We have such great minds that he can take rented refrigerators for 12 k for Commonwealth games when you can buy an new one in 10k ....  Hope the person popped into your mind....:-

I have concluded that I will do something but before that i need to secure my and my families future ,,may be 10 or 15 years more,,,I will surely make myself proud of me!!!!

Hope there will be many more ordinary dudes(gals you are more than welcome!) to come forward and know his/her rights,,,,,

Being selfish is not humane....that makes us little different than other animals...

Why Farmer suicides

Recently we came across the FDI(http://www.fibre2fashion.com/industry-article/7/604/fdi-in-retailing1.asp) phenomena in Retail…how does it suits the Indian Agriculture industry? As far as other retail goods are concerned I am somehow  convinced that it might change the scenario for the betterment of the present situation…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmers%27_suicides_in_India
But for Agriculture I don’t think it will anyway make any sense, rather situation would worsen…

The only thing that could make Indian farmers stopping from suicide or make a handsome living out of farming would definitely be the Minimum support price of the vegetables and the crops they cultivate…

For example  if you go to a distant village from the town say Jamshedpur in Jhrakhand, they have vast land of agriculture and farmers  cultivate vegetable and mainly paddy and wheat..Whereas for Paddy  there is a minimum support price and it does not fluctuate much its in a range of 900-1200 per quintal..

But for vegetables like tomato..the  pain is there…I have seen the prices ranging from Rs 1 to Rs 60…whopping  6000% variance,,,

For an acre of land  the total cost that would incur to the farmer would be nothing less than Rs 10000 but we generally do not calculate the salary of the people who spends day and night for this land,,,if at least 100 rs  per day then also for three  months it would be around Rs. 10000 more  so total Rs.20000 and it would produce around  10 quintal of tomatoes..if everything  goes fine..now if the market is good   farmer can get a price of rs 5 per kg in village market only…then farming surely a lucrative business….but the pain comes when the price goes down to Rs 1..so it’s a 10k loss per acre which is surely a big chunk of money the farmer going to lose…

Now the other part of the story…people in Jamshedpur they buy the tomato at a price of rs 20/Kg on an average for whole of the year…where as  the cost of producing tomato would be Rs 2 per Kg  if the farmer has his own land…so a whopping 18 rs per Kg they are paying extra…neither the Farmers nor the customers are benefited..then Who? Yes here comes the middleman.Who just bring the goods from the famers and sale at least 3000-4000% profit…

So if Government can fix the price of each good in a range of say 25% profit for the farmers and 25% profit for the middle man and 25% profit for the retailers who sells the vegetables…but the price need to be decided by the group of farmers who really cultivates not by the people who thinks paddy  stem is used for  furniture! Jokes apart…..customers  will be happy…they can buy the things at least 100% less price whole year…and inflation bound to come to bottom….
Can have a range of price like farmers can't sell the price more than Rs X per kg and less than Rs Y kg depending on off and on seasons... so it that way black marketing also can be checked to some extents...

It might change the scenario and a farmer’s revolution is a due then…they are the people who fed India but the most neglected one…

A policy need to be implanted..there will be time when people will have an industry based on agriculture and farmers does not have to suicide…make my words….Just need a proper planning commission…who does not plans out of the theory given by western jerks..rather by few practical people….
