963 World, India, and Regonal Current Affairs

Osmania University, Hyderabad City, Telangana State, India is celebrating its Centenary year. President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee, 'flew into Hyderabad' on Presidential Aircraft for a one day visit, made his preachings, got felicitated by the Governor and Chief Ministers of Telangana State, and again flew back to Delhi in his Special Aircraft,. According to News Reports, Telangana State Government is spending Rs. 2 billion (about $3.5 million) for the Celebrations. This amount seems to be on a very lavish and extravagant, considering that the Rural Districts of Telangana State are going through severe drinking water shortage and drought conditions are prevailing in many places. Any Nation which wastes its scarce resources on ostentatious celebrations can never really prosper, as most of the funds spent go through the drains for unproductive stuff.

yb-a-donkey's personal views, not intended to be imposed on others

I obtained my first degree, 'B.Com' from this Osmania University, Hyderabad, in the year 1973 March. I studied B.Com., at Viveka Vardhini Evening College, Jambagh, between Ashok and Navrang Talkies-es, Hyderabad, during the years 1969-73.

There is nothing to coo about or caw about the University.

If at all, there is anything to say praiseworthy about, it must be said about the Viveka Vardhini College. The period during which I studied at the College were strife-filled, owing to the first failed Instalment of Telangana Agitation for separate State led by Late Marri Chenna Reddy. In those days, Osmania University students seemed to have considered 'copying' in examinations, as birth right. Many students of VV College of those days, I pray them to forgive me if I say, were also no exception to copy in the examinations. The-then Lecturers of the College were very sincere, hardworking, eager-to-teach, but all that became 'Telugu: aDavi kAchina vennela' (English: Moonlight in a forest'), and 'bUDidalO poSINA pannIru' (English: Flower-perfumed-water poured into embers').

China launching its second aircraft carrier, may be a great cause of concern to all the countries in South China Sea. Though China pretends to have Elections every ten years, it will be a matter of guesswork, how freely Chinese Voters exercise their franchise. Dictatorial and Totalitarian Nations seem to have greater greed for acquiring new territories, expanding its fleet of warships and aircraft. Of course, China may want to emerge as a challenger to United States in this Unipolar World. The (mis?)adventurism of Mr. Donald Trump also makes China and North Korea to display 'counter-exhibitionism'.

India must also be wary of Chinese manoeuvres. It may try to park its second Aircraft Carrier on Burma's Coast, with its aircraft ready to fly towards India, over Bay of Bengal. Or, it can extend some huge financial assistance to Shri Lanka, in return for Parking Space at Colombo.
