The Business of Trade

No, I am not talking about Share Bazaar (Share Indices or Sensex), but offcourse I am back with one of the most favorite topics of mine: - The Great Indian/World Politics!!!

Those who aren’t aware, Currently India (a democratic state) has/had a coalition government (Congree+Left+SmallParties) in power, but LEFT(leftists) has withdrawn support due to the Nuclear deal which was to be signed by Dr Manmohan Singh (PM), reason being, India will be sub-servant to US.
I don’t know much about this deal in detail so won’t comment on it.

There is a high voltage drama which is going on, and MP (Member of Parliament) is traded for a sum of whooping 5-10million USD. This has made the situation worst, and poaching/trading/buying, all of them are allowed!
Now you must be wondering how it does matters you (mostly Indians), so I present 2 examples to you:-
1) I booked the tickets online for BATMAN (The Dark Knight), and then waited in a Queue for 15 minutes to collect. It was a multiplex so the crowd was supposively the educated Indian Middle Class or high class, so they weren’t ready to wait and everyone wanted to bypass everything... I actually ended up telling 5 people to come in the Queue, shouting at the service person not to
entertain people who are not in the Queue...Now its easy to blame that such is the system in India, but believe me, it was us who was making this a Chaos!!!

2) 2003 IAS (Indian Administrative Services) topper being asked in one talk show, Why do you want to be a part of bureaucracy when it sucks big-time?
He answered, sitting outside, its easy to judge for us, but would you like to be a part of it to change, and if not you, then Someone, someone has to get her hands dirty to clean up!!!


Both the instances aren’t one of its kinds, but they teach us a lot!!! It’s easy to blame people/politics/society sitting outside, but it’s us, who form it!!! May it be the government or the society!!!
Let me ask you a question, how many times you have done this, reaching late to the movie hall and then trying to bypass so that your turn comes faster? Just because you think you don’t have time, or you are late for the show, does it means that others time has no value?
Or who forms this government, not the Parties or MP's but you and me, who vote (and if don’t then we shouldn’t be saying a word against the system!!!)?

What’s going on currently sounds ridiculous, the ruling party wants to prove the majority because Inflation has hit the peak (more than 12%), SENSEX is down to 12000 from 20000, Crude prices are high like anything... but do we try to change any of this?
May be I sound like a mean critic and you may show the attitude, who cares, but really, if we wont care, then the tomorrow wont ever be the same!!!

Wish ourselves luck guys and hope that if we think of changing this society, then we act too...
Leaving you with a video, a small girl rather a Woman who touched my heart with her VOICE!!!

the girl made me cry. so emotional and such truths that we all know but always rely on someone to make decisions for us to change the world for better. But we forget if we dont take part in this it isnt going to be the perfect world for us and our children.

Urv said...

Good topic u touched man..

Often people say 'I don't like politics', 'I don't understand politics'

And most often, the same people say 'Politics is dirty', 'The system is the problem'

Believe me, if one can understand cricket, politics is a lot simpler..

And as someone said, 'BE the change you want to see around you'

ceedy said...

Interesting that you touched on so many fronts.

You questioned the Bourgeoisie for the retarded habits

You have questioned the power mongers and their tactics

and also questioned the new cogs in the wheel...

One thing I want to share with you.
I have attended two conferences in United Nations of Habitat and World Housing problems as one of my friends in college here was working there for the summer...and it is mind boggling to see the red tapism that exists there....

every word, every action is recorded and anything said or specified has to be referenced to year, date, time, docket, meeting etc etc....

point is like the girl in the video says - by the time the seminar is over - people are scrambling to remember the information rather than focus on the issues....

good post

Chakoli said...

:))

Seen this fwd... its touchy :)

Poltitics.... about the IAS topper...dont know if he actually emans it what he said...because usually I hear soemwhat a similar answer from all people who are into these...exceptions are thr:))


There was a collector in Indore when I was in school... the first thing he did was dmlolished all illegal bldngs...and it meant that.. including a big govt offc...
he gave a notice fr about 1 mnth and then when people didnt reacted to it... after the deadline, just came up... vacated whole bldng...and using bombs... the bldng was in pieces...

but soon hw was transferred....

:((((

About the values... Indian Mentality cud never change... we always ask fr more...anything for free... anything thats is just served to you...:(((



thats we :(((

Mysterious Mia said...

dint read it :-/

cant erad anything stock.. gov etc :))

and that last video.. God! Good one!

Pavi!!!! said...

I don't have an aptitude or interest for politics...but a few other things mentioned on this post is interesting.

I agree li'l drops make an ocean..n its wat each one of us do..that contributes to the bigger picture. But its a vicious circle. If one person doesnt pay bribe n sacrifices his education...will the system change...will be the Q in a person's head..n u cant blame that person..or xpect him to give up his life. Rite?

Also..i blv politics is a field in which any1 who enters b'coms bad..the honesty, integrity , niceness in a person cant remain for long when in such a field.

Ankur said...

@URv

Ankur said...

@Princess

Ankur said...

@Keshi

Cheers!!

Ankur said...

@Veens

thnx for not reading!! :-/

Ankur said...

@Pavi

not really, coz we dont try enugh!!
as u said, we give up easily, very very easily!!!

not entering into it by thinking that we will be corrupted, entering and then thinking that whether we can change it really?

Freedom didnt come to us in free, a lot many men/women had to sacrifice!! :)

So, we need to enter into it to change it, and thats the reason i have to get into it!! :)

Cheers!!!
