Utterances of our Rulers are like acts of our past birth. In 2012, Mr. Arun Jaitley, BJP Leader in Rajya Sabha,and present Finance Minister, spoke about Weakness of Indian Rupee, and the Evil of Increase in Prices of Petrol and Diesel. See the following Video, at youtube.com.:--
Above are some screenshots from the Video.

Click here to go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJQxjwlEBqEsee the Video in which Mr. Arun Jaitley, Finance Minister spoke about Weakness of Rupee, and Increase in Petrol Prices.

Question: It appears as though that Mr.Narendra Modi and Mr. Arun Jaitley have failed in maintaining a sort of stability of External Value of Indian Rupee. Do you think that, Mr. Rahul Gandhi, if elected to power, can uplift and stabilise Indian Rupee?

Ans: Ideal Position

Ans: In an ideal situation, be it Indian Rupee, or any other International Currency has to find an equilibrium for its external value, on the basis of demand for it from Foreign Buyers, and other Remittance Senders into India,, whereas Supply of Rupee comes from Indian Importers, and other Outward Remittance Senders from India to abroad.

This type of Ideal Situation might have been possible some decades back when there were no/few Foreign Direct Investments and Foreign Portfolio Investments into India.Those were days when Balance of Trade and Balanace of Payment Components were few in number, and were less complex. Today, the Fluctuations in Receipts and Payments relating to Foreign Investments seem to dominate India's Balance of Payments Current Account Position.

Though most of the Foreign Investments into India, unlike the Foreign Investments into China, are believed to be Recycled Remittances of the Money Laundered funds of Indian Corporates, and Indian Industrialists, somehow even they seem to be subject to vicissitudes and vagaries of Algoriths operating in Europe, North America, and Tax Haven Countries which decide when to invest and when to withdraw sometimes based on Mathematical Reasoning, and sometimes based on Intuition or hunches or beliefs. Consequently, even for minor or flimsy developments in global markets, Foreign Investors sell away their Investments or buy in bulk.

Mr. Rahul Gandhi may not have necessary inclination or time to study these intricacies and discuss with Finance and Commerce Ministers.

This is a problem with almost all the Prime Minsiters who ruled India ever since Independence, with the probable exception of Mr. Manmohan Singh. Though Mr. Manmohan Singh is regarded as an Economics Expert by virtue of his studies at London School of Economics, the 1991 Reforms initiated by him ever since 1991, do not prove that he acted with a "Studied mind". Reason: Anybody, who has a very basic idea about the unreliability and volatility of World Investment Streams will never create an Economy which is dependent on Foreign Investment Flows. Of course, Mr. Manmohan Singh may not be the only Finance Minister on this Earth, who crave for Foreign Investments.

Almost all the Economic Advisers to Indian Government are those who have worked with IMF, World Bank etc., or worked as Professors in Euro-American Universities, and they have brain-washed intelligences, and their Intellects have lost their intrinsic worth(s).

Mr. Narendra Modi seems to be his own Economic Adviser, who seems to believe that he does ot need guidance with IMF-World-Bank brainwashed Experts, or Indigenous Experts. This may be the reason for Mr. Narendra Modi's sudden secretive announcement of Demonetisation on 8th Nov. 2016.

Here is an Article by Mr. Aakar Patel, Renowned Writer, in Deccan Chronicle dated 11th Dec. 2016, about Mr. Narendra Modi's style of taking decisions and signing files: Click here to go to DEC and study the Article. http://www.deccanchronicle.com/opinion/op-ed/111216/note-ban-success-test-of-pms-working-style.html

Courtesy above article of Shri Aakar Patel, from Deccan Chronicle: Mr Modi also revealed that he was a “good listener” and was able to absorb what was being said to him well. When I heard him say this I thought it made him vulnerable to the bureaucrats he was trusting because he is dependent and can be fed as much or as little as the officer wants him to know. In the style of working as Mr Modi describes it, a complex matter that occupies dozens and perhaps hundreds of pages in files is reduced to an oral summary. It is possible that because of lack of time or because the issue is overly complex, the oral summary is simplistic. "... On the basis of this summary, Mr Modi takes a decision and this is then executed through the administration. This style seems to have worked well for Mr Modi because he is thought of as being a good chief minister in his 12 years in Gujarat. These days, however, I have been again thinking about Mr Modi’s style of taking input in this form when taking decisions. That is because the Supreme Court is asking critical questions about the way in which the demonetisation policy was rolled out. The court wants to know if the policy was planned properly, or a decision was taken “just like that” when Mr Modi scrapped Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes on November 8. ..." "...Another important thing he revealed was how he actually worked. Mr Modi said he doesn’t read files. This I found to be unusual in someone who is so decisive because one needs full control over the subject if one is eager to take big decisions. But Mr Modi says he cannot govern through “academics studies (sic)” and instead asks his officers to summarise all issues for him, and brief him orally. They are expected to go through the file and tell him, as he put it, “yeh masla hai kya”. He said he had the capacity to figure out the delicate contours of these issues without actually reading about them. He said this is because “mera itna grasping tha”. ..."

ybrao-a-donkey's views which are not intended to be imposed on Readers

This practice of PM's signing files on the basis of 'oral summaries' made by his Assisting Officers, after asking 'yeh masla kyA hai' seems to be a very dangerous practice. Nor that a Superior should suspect everything which his Subordinates bring for signing, but we have to keep in mind that Subordinates can also make mistakes or even blunders. Or else, there should be no need need of concentrating all the Powers in the Prime Minister.

Mr. Rahul Gandhi also appears to be a less serious person uninterested in Principles of Economics. Obviously, he seems to depend for his activities and speeches on the persons surrounding him.

Question: Do you mean to say that Mr. Manmohan Singh was surrounded by novices in Economics?

Ans: Definitely not. I mean to say that Economic Advisers of Indian Prime Ministers (probably Prime Ministers of many underdeveloped and developing countries of the World) are surrounded by IMF-World Bank-WTO and Schools of Euro-centric Economics/University trained Economists, who have not only pro-industrial bias, pro-Multi-National bias and skewness, but also seem to suffer from an un-self-controllable itches to enforce what they learn in those Institutions and Organisations.

On the other hand, most politicians of Developing and Underdeveloped countries (with the exception of Advisers to and Executives of, Dictatorial regimes) face a need to continuously tune themselves to the needs of Poverty-stricken and Sop-craving Voter-classes feeding which requires Welfare Economics.

Question: What is that you are upto? Are you confused?

Ans: There is no confusion. These subjects under our discussion are very wide, and hence some cramming seems to take place, when I try to compress into space of one blog post page, or a few blog post pages.

We started this Blog Post with the links of criticism made by Mr. Narendra Modi and Mr. Arun Jaitley about falling Rupee, and Increase in Petroleum Prices. One important feature which we cannot omit to notice here is: Should Opposition Party politicians before making scathing criticism(s) against Ruling Parties and Governments, think ahead of the times when they will come into Power, and will have to adopt the same policies, because the Economic Philosophies of all the Rightist, Centrist, Centrist-Left Parties are nearly same, notwithstanding their occasional electoral postures and position-ings?

This is important because Mr. Rahul Gandhi is hammering the BJP day-in and day-out about the undue benefits given by Modi's Government to an Immature and Un-qualified Company of Mr Anil Ambani. We must keep in mind that Mr. Rahul Gandhi (or whoever else such as Ms. Mamta Banerjee's Front, X's Front, Y's Front with support from Mainstream Parties) are going to continue the same Economic Policies of Mr. Narendra Modi and Jaitley. That means, whichever Party/Leader comes into power in 2019 will have to / will continue the Rafael Supply Contract, together with its Anil Ambani component. We must remember, at least, as far as making / servicing of Fighter Aircrafts are concerned, the opportunities of HAL (Hindusthan Aeronautics Ltd. the Cinderella Govt. Company) seem to be sealed.

This is because, except in situations of compelling circumstances, Governments globally have a commitment to honor International Agreements entered into by Previous Governments. This cannot be ignored by Politicians, Top Bureaucrats and Advisers-to-politicians-and-Top-Bureaucrats, fortunately for them because, Public Memory and Voter Memories are poor.

Question: Do you mean to say that Newly Succeeding Governments who follow rotten Regimes cannot / should not have a leeway to adopt Innovative Policies to reverse the Decay which has set in?

Ans: If a Newly succeeding Government which initiates sweeping Reforms , if it believes that it is overburdened with international debt, and obligations arising from commitments made to Foreign Investors, try to postpone or avoid honoring such international obligations, there may arise a risk of losing International Credibility. For this reason only, Governments in some countries have a system whereby they may require every major International Agreement and Policy change to be placed before their Parliaments and get them ratified with appropriate majority.

In International Economic Arena, the Issues of- Countries defaulting in their International Economic Obligations are usually classified under "Sovereign Risks", "Country Risks", and obviously they become Political Risks. On the other hand, individual Parties such as Corporates and Industrial Giants, when they default in honoring their payment and performance obligations, risks arising from such defaults, come under Commercial Risks.

Ordinarily Commercial Risks seem to arise from Political Risks, though vice versa cannot be ruled out. Besides, Political Risks can also arise from Commercial Needs and Pressures of Corporates.

Question: How will you explain all these things, in the context of your avowed objective of spreading Atheism and Marxism (or Modified Marxism/True Total Socialism)?

Ans: Apart from viewing porno videos, probably as a part of their Sexual Education (Not the Science of Sexual Hygiene or Behaviors), every denizen of World Working Class, has to study some Patho Physiology, some Pharmacology, and in addition, some Poverty Economics and Exploitation Economics. Poverty stricken and Exploited Working Classes have a long way to go. Then only, they will be able elect their Representatives who will not only have honesty, but also Competence.

984 Who gave horns and fangs to International Credit Rating Agencies?

Bulls, deer etc. have horns on their heads for self-defence. Dogs, Wolfs etc. have fangs to split steaks they eat. But International Credit Rating Agencies which are four or five in number, seem to have horns to intimidate developing and under-developed countries, and fangs to feed on timid countries. Who gave them these horns and fangs? Not the Affluent Nations like U.S.A., U.K., France, Germany, Japan, China. But, developing and underdeveloped, poor countries like India. Why did they give? For mobilising foreign investments from Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), Foreign Individual Investors, Foreign Governments, Foreign Banks, Foreign Investment Agencies, Merchant Bankers, some of whom seem to attach great values to the Ratings given by these International Rating Agencies. But how many of those FPIs, FIIs, Foreign Governments care to check whether the Ratings made by the International Rating Agencies are accurate, and are not based on whims and fancies of the Directors/Managers of the Rating Agencies? If such checking had been done, the 2008 World Recession, following the Sub-prime Lending Crises in American Banks and the Wall Street Investment Empires such as Goldman Sache would not have taken place. Ratings obtained from International Rating Agencies, might have helped the Investment Decision-makers from embarrassment-s and loss of fat jobs, which might have enabled such decision-makers to hide under the not-too-reliable expertise of the Rating Agencies.

Criticism of Rating Agencies, by Mr. Arvind Subramanian, the Chief Economic Adviser of India

CEA's Criticism	yb-a-donkey's view
Rating Agencies have not upgraded India "despite clear improvements in our economic fundamentals" which include inflation, growth, and current account performance. Despite its rapid growth, India still has a BBB rating. China's rating has been upgraded to AA, despite its slowing growth and rising debts.	India is a Sovereign Nation. It has vast human and natural resources. It can produce any goods and services on a massive scale for exports. The export profits can be used as 'fresh investments' for setting up new export-oriented businesses, both manufacturing, and service businesses. India can also use Keynesian Investment Multiplier, by pump-priming (introducing newly created Central Bank's moneys into productive, export-oriented ventures. It can also buy required technologies. Where is the need for canvassing for Foreign Portfolio Investments, and Foreign Institutional Investments. Mr. Manmohan Singh, the Former Prime Minister of India, and the intermittant Vajpayee Government might have committed an error of judgement, or forced by circumstances, to invite foreign investments. But, the new 2014 NDA Government, there is no such compulsion. Why are we continuously begging for Foreign Investments? Have we fallen in a Foreign Investment trap? (similar to Foreign Debt Trap).
"Given this record, what we call Poor Standards, my question is - why do we take these rating analysts seriously at all?"	Instead of asking the question himself, CEA ought to have tried to answer the question. Another important observation which can be made is: Even IN SPITE OF / NOTWITHSTANDING low/mediocre ratings given by Fitch, Moodys, and Standard & Poor, India could mobilise considerable foreign investments. Hence, we should stop hankering about the Ratings given by the International Agencies. We can ignore them. If we have been paying them some subscriptions, we should stop. If we have been paying some commissions to Lobbyists in U.S.A., and Europe, we should stop.
They consistently fail to provide advance warnings of financial crisis and downgrade a country after the fact. In the US, they had given AAA ratings to mortgage-ridden securities, which later dragged down the economy and created a crisis.	Have we understood this harsh truth, too late?

India has been consistently pushing for better ratings, which is expected to act as an endorsement to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's economic policies and help bring in much-needed investment. Since coming to power in 2014, the NDA government has aggressively chased investment - taking measures to streamline processes and bring down inflation.

But the three key ratings agencies --- Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch - have not upgraded India, contending that the government needs to do more. In November, Moody's refused to upgrade India, said the economic initiatives of PM Modi's government are yet to produce results.

Among the issues the rating agencies have red-flagged are India's high debt-GDP ratio and bad assets of its banks. The agencies argue that the debt-GDP ratio, at 69%, is on the higher side and acts as a deterrent to private investment.

Personal views of ybrao-a-donkey, not intended to be imposed on others

Why should India have been consistently pushing for better ratings?
Why do Prime Minister of India's Economic Policies, need an endorsement from Foreign Rating Agencies?
Why should India aggressively chase foreign investments? We can chase domestic investments?

Is money-laundering of $100 million so easy?

Domestic Fund Flows may be moving abroad through Money Laundering Channels, and coming back to India as Foreign Investments from Hong kong, Singapore, China, Mauritius, etc. etc. If we can prevent outward flight of domestic funds, by plugging loop holes in our Foreign OUtward Remittance Systems, our Imports-payment systems, Export-Realisation Systems, there will be no need for us to beg for foreign investments.

One latest 2017 May example: A sum of Rs.6 billion (nearly $100 million) was remitted by a criminal business man in Visakhapatnam to Hong Kong, Singapore, China, ostensibly for import of software. The criminals are reported to have promoted about 30 shell Companies, opened accounts in various banks in Visakhapatnam, received funds from Kolkata collaborators, and remitted them to Hong Kong, Singapore, China, on the pretext of software imports. How easily and swiftly they could do ? Now those $100 million may be coming back to us as Foreign Portfolio / Institutional Investments.

Besides, we have to study why Indian domestic fund owners are hesitating to investment their funds in India directly, without sending them through the Money Laundering Route.

Who are these Moody's, S&P, and Fitch to prod and push India saying that "Government needs to do more". We need not do more. Who are they to say that our initiatives are not producing results?

If at all our Debt/GDP Ratio, bad assets of our banks are REALLY HIGH, that should be our headache. It is our duty to attend to them. Others need not PUSH us.

978 Musings on Basil Convention, International Rating Agencies, Indian Public Sector Banks

Since the last many years, one question which has continually been tormenting me, without disappearing from my memory, although there is no need for me to remember it continuously, is: Should India ceaselessly promise this or that, to somebody or other, in numerous meetings, both formal and informal? Latest trigger for my this outpouring of mine, is the string of promises made by Mr. Arun Jaitley, Finance Minister of India, as reflected in Economic Times New Report dated 9.5.2017, while addressing some meetings in Tokyo. Click here to go to http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/government-open-to-providing-more-funds-for-banks-recapitalisation-arun-jaitley/articleshow/58584283.cms . According to the FaceBook Page of Hon. Shri Arun Jaitley, he might have been addressing the Investors' Round Table in Tokyo. Click here to go to the Facebook page of Hon. Arun Jaitley.

Some quotes from Relevant Links

"...Where more funds are required from the government, we will be quite willing to look at that. But once the health of the banks improve, we have also announced that the government will be willing to bring down its equity in the banks to 52 per cent and that can be used for banks' recapitalisation ..."

ybrao-a-donkey's personal views, not intended to be imposed on others, in the following paragraphs marked 'yb'

Citizens of India deposit their moneys with Public Sector Banks in India, based on their INHERENT TRUST IN THEIR GOVERNMENT AND ITS ORGAN RESERVE BANK. They do not bother about the Balance Sheets of the Public Sector Banks, or their Capital. After demonetisation, this trust of the People on their currency notes and their Banks, has temporarily got bruised. Of course, 'Time is the best healer'. This Trust has not been irretrievably damaged. It was only a temporary phenomenon.

Whether to hold 100% Capital, or 52% of Capital in Public Sector Bank, is a Sovereign decision to be taken by the Government. It is an internal affair of India. In addition, it will not be prudent for Indian Public Sector Banks to issue Shares to Foreign Investors, whether 'individual' or 'institutional'. When Private Banks in India were nationalised in 1969, one of the principles adopted was 'Public Funds should not be controlled by Private Individuals and Institutions. Reason: Private Industrialists had a dirty habit of diverting Private Bank funds to their own Companies surreptitiously. If it is not safe to allow Indian Private individuals and institutions to control people's funds deposited with Banks, where is the question of allowing Foreign Individuals and Institutions to invest in Indian Public Sector Banks?

It is not clear why Hon. Jaitley is so devotedly, and dedicatedly promising the Government's bringing down its share to 52% in Indian Public Sector Banks, to Foreigners whether existing investors or prospective investors.

877 Chasing with the hounds, and running with the hares, is a pastime for politicians, worldwide.

Mr. Narendra Modi, the greatly popular Prime Minister of India, seems to be riding on two boats. He is very adeptly discharging his double role. On the one hand, he says that he fights on behalf of poor and downtrodden, against the black KuberAs (Kubera = Lord of Wealth, and the Ruler of the North Direction, in Indian Mythology). But his speechees at the recently held jamboree VIBRANT GUJARAT (2017), express a different language. His largesse to the industrialists knows no bounds. When he speaks on behalf of the poor of India, the first half of the adage "chasing with the hounds" will apply. When he praises industrialists and promises them everything under the sky, 'running with the hares' will apply. One can't portray to be a police and a thief, at the same time.

Reliance Industries has slapped an arbitration notice on the government over a demand USD 1.55 billion demand made on it for "unfairly enriching" by producing natural gas belonging to ONGC, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said today.

The oil ministry had on November 3 issued a notice to RIL, Niko and UK's BP plc seeking USD 1.47 billion for producing in the seven years ended March 31, 2016 about 338.332 million British thermal unit of gas that had seeped or migrated from state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp's (ONGC) blocks into their adjoining KG-D6 in Bay of Bengal.

After deducting USD 71.71 million royalty paid on the gas produced and adding an interest at the rate of Libor plus 2 per cent, totalling USD 149.86 million, a total demand of USD 1.55 billion was made on RIL, BP and Niko.

ybrao-a-donkey's personal observations which are not intended to be imposed on others:

It is strange that ONGC seems to have signed some contracts with Reliance, agreeing for external international arbitration proceedings. International Arbitration Proceedings and Awards tend to be biased and expensive.

Biased because: Overseas Multinationals, particularly the Euro-American Multinationals adopt unscrupulous methods to get awards in their favour.

Expensive because: International Lawyers charge heavily. All International contracts which Indian Corporates and Public Sector Enterprises should invariably provide for settlement of disputes only through Indian Courts. Now, Shri Mukhesh Ambani and Reliance may want India's PM to extricate them from the entanglement.

Though it may not be as sky-high as $18 billion which Tatas have to write-down, in losses, as pointed out by Mr. Cyrus Mistry-- the ousted-Chairman of Tata Group, it is not clear, how many billions Tatas may have to write-down. Will SEBI overlook everything, treating international losses as non-sense? Will the Government phew phew the losses, as something which is to be an internal affair of the Tata Group?

Clarification: This is not a hate blog of Mr. Narendra Modi or BJP. Nor, am I a admirer / devotee of Mr. Narendra Modi. If Mr. Modi's avowed focus is on alleviating Indian Poverty, my focus is on intellectual upgradation of Indian Proletariat (Working Class), so that they can choose better the socio-politico-economic system which can alleviate and ameliorate their deprivation.

As a sample: we shall see Mr. Narendra Modi's response to a question about employment

"... The first thing is that are 800 million people below the age of 35 in our country. We have to accept that the demand for jobs is very high. But where will they get employment? Investment will come in. It will be used in the infrastructure sector, manufacturing and services sector. Now like the initiative we have taken, we have started the Mudra Yojna. More than three crore people in the country comprise washermen, barbers, milkman, newspaper vendors, cart vendors. We have given them nearly 1.25 lakh crore rupees without any guarantee. Now why have these people taken the money? To expand their work. When he expands his work, if he is currently employing one person, now he has to employ two people. If there were two employed earlier, now there are three. Now just think, when three crore of these small businesses have got access to finance, they must have expanded their work. Now all this is not in the Labour Department’s registration. Three crore people have expanded their work. We took another small decision. The big malls in the country run 365 days a year but the smaller shops have to close on holidays. We announced in the budget that even a small shopkeeper can operate his shop till late night and that too on all the seven days of the week. If the malls don’t have restrictions, then why should the small shopkeepers have restrictions. So now if a shopkeeper operates his shop till late and on all seven days, if he earlier employed one person, now he will have to employ two people. So won’t the employment increase? ..."

"... Now we are saying that by 2022 we want to ensure that everyone has a house. Housing sector has the maximum potential for creating employment. Houses will be built in such huge numbers; how many people will get employment? You must have seen that last year we brought in a textile policy. Under this textile policy, there will be income tax benefits for those who create employment. The more employment one creates, the more tax benefits they will get. For the first time, employment generation and tax has been linked. These are the things that boost employment and our central focus is creating employment for the ordinary citizen. ..."

ybrao-a-donkey's view

If we already have 800 million below the age of 35 in our country, how is that our Hon. Prime Minister, and the Chief Ministers of 29 States are giving calls to people to beget more children? The calls should have been on Family Planning, and Population Control.

Almost all people of all religions, under active guidance and influence of their PREACHERS are breeding children beyond the normally expected, though not the legal maximum of 2 children per family. In fact, India's greatest strength has been its fecundity (ability to get children) ! In our Great Epic Mahabharata, we come across a term called "sadyO garbham" (approx. English meaning : instant pregnancy and delivery), which we seem to have as an accomplishment "at will". On the other hand, countries like Denmark are toiling hard to make their citizens to produce more and more offsprings, and their citizens seem to be not interested. Here is a Youtube video link: Click here to go to the Youtube video. . The description for the video says:

Published on Apr 3, 2014

" ... A "Do It for Denmark" video is encouraging Danes to make babies as part of a campaign to curb the low birth rate that is currently plaguing the region. The travel company that started the campaign noticed that Danes have 46 percent more sex while on vacation, and they are using this information to promote sex in different ..."

 ౪౦౯ అన్ని విదేశీ పెట్టుబడులూ గుజరాత్ కేనా?  భారత్ అంటే గుజరాత్ మాత్రమేనా?
४०९ सभी विदेशी पूंजी गुजरात के लिये?  भारत के अर्ध सिर्फ गुजरात है क्या?



भारत के प्रधाम मंत्रि श्री नरेंद्र मोदी महोदय के विधि विधान देखे तो ऐसा ही प्रस्फुट हो रहा है।  భారత ప్రియతమ ప్రధాన మంత్రి శ్రీ నరేంద్ర మోడీ గారి పధ్ధతులను చూస్తుంటే ఈ అనుమానమే వస్తున్నది.  We get these doubts when we see the methods and styles of working of our beloved Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

Few months back when China's top man came, he was taken to Gujarat, and entertained, felicitated, and pampered on a swing, with an expectation that Chinese investments will flood into Gujarat.  Now, the World Bank representatives, American Secretary of State John Kerry, everybody is being entertained, felicitated and pampered in Gujarat, albeit with a slogan Vibrant Gujarat.   We can understand if Mr. Modi cannot call for a vibrant UP or vibrant Bihar and hold a jamboree in Lucknow or in Patna, because they are opposition ruled States.   But what prevents him from calling for a vibrant Madhya Pradesh, vibrant Rajasthan, vibrant Jharkhand, or a vibrant Maharashtra?

One probable reason may occur to thoughtful minds.  Mr. Modi and his associates are running a third term in Gujarat.  In 2019, anti-incumbency factor may lead to a loss in Gujarat, unless show-piece is erected by that time.  Even Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi did not forget nursing their own constituencies, to get elected even in the direst circumstances.

A Nation and its citizens who refuse to learn from their history are bound to suffer in medium and long term, though they may gain some bucks in medium term.  I am tempted to compare Mr. Manmohan Singh and Mr. Narendra Modi to Jahangir (he permitted British traders to built fort at Surat), and Mr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Mr. Chandrababu Naidu to Venkatapati rAyalu 2 (he permitted British traders to built their fort at St. George, Madras).

श्री नरेंद्र मोदी महोदय को जहंगीर से हम समान करना पडेगा.  क्योंकि जहंगीर अंग्रेजी ताजीरों को अपने गढ को सूरत में बनाने के लिये इजाजत दिया, सिर्फ कुछ छोटे उपहारों के लिये।  चंद्र बाबु नायुडु को हम विजयनगर और चंद्रगिरि राजा वॆंकटगिरि रायलु दॊ, से समान करना पडेगा।  क्यों कि, वॆंकटपति अंग्रेजी व्यापारियों को मदरास (चॆन्नै) में सेयिंट फोर्ट जार्ज गढ निर्माण करने के लिये अनुमति दिया।

మనం శ్రీ నరేంద్ర మోడీ మహాశయుడిని జహంగీర్ తో పోల్చాల్సి ఉంటుంది.  ఎందుకంటే జహంగీర్ , కొన్ని చిల్లర బహుమతులకోసం ఆశపడి ఆంగ్లేయ వర్తకులకు సూరత్ లో కోటను నిర్మించుకోటానికి అనుమతిచ్చాడు.  మనం చంద్రబాబు నాయుడుని విజయనగర చంద్రగిరి రాజు రెండవ వెంకట పతి రాయలు (వాళ్ళ పాలెగాడే చెన్నప్ప), మదరాస్ (చెన్నై) లో సెయింట్ జార్జ్ ఫోర్టును నిర్మించుకోటానికి అనుమతిచ్చాడు.

403 Has India fallen in a foreign debt and foreign investment trap?

403 क्या भारत विदेशी ऋण और विदेशी पुंजी चक्रव्यूह में बंदी हो गया ?  बंग्ला खाडी में गिर गया?

౪౦౩ భారత్ విదేశీ ఋణాల ఊబి మరియు విదేశీ పెట్టుబడుల అఖాతంలో కూరుకు పోయిందా?

Ans: It seems so.  वैसा ही दिख रहा है।  అలానే కనిపిస్తున్నది.

Question: Mr. Arun Jaitley says, there is nothing to worry about Indian Rupee.  प्रश्न -- केंद्रीय वित्त मंत्री महानू अरुण जैट्ली महोदय कह रहा है, रूपये के बारे में चिंतित होने काजरूरत नहीं है। ప్రశ్న --  మరి కేంద్ర ఆరోగ్య మంత్రి శ్రీ అరుణ్ జైట్లీ మహోదయులవారు అంటున్నారే, భారత ఆర్ధిక వ్యవస్థను గురించి గానీ, రూపాయి భవిష్యత్ గురించి గానీ చింతించన్ పని లేదని.

Ans: Shri Jaitley may be having property worth crores of Rupees and a kilo & half of gold.  Hence he may not have a need to worry.  But common Indians, those who suffer from price rise, those who saved their hard earned savings with public sector banks, when they find that the Rupee which gets them now a kg. of rice for Rs. 44/-, will get with the same money only 1/2 kg. of rice, will definitely have to worry.  जवाब -- जैट्ली महोदय के पास करोडों रूपये संपत्ती और देड किलो तक सोना रहने से, उनको चिंतित होने के जरूरत नहीं हो सकता है।  परन्तु, आम आद्मी, जिस को निरंतर मूल्य वृध्धि से बाधा उठ रहा है, और जिस ने अपने कष्टार्जित द्रव्य को सरकारी बैंकों मॆं  बछत किया, उनको आज किलो चावल दिलाने वाले चालीस रूपये, कल सिर्फ आदा किलो ही दिला सका तो, अनुदिन चिंतन ही करना होगा।  జవాబు-- వారి వద్ద కోట్ల ఆస్తి మరియు కిలోన్నర దాకా బంగారం ఉంది కాబట్టి వారు చింతించన్ పనిలేదు.  కానీ సాధారణ భారతీయులు, ధరల పెరుగుదలతో బాధ పడేవాళ్ళు,  వృధ్ధాప్యంలో అక్కరకు వస్తాయని ప్రభుత్వ బ్యాంకులలో డబ్బులు దాచుకునే వాళ్ళు, ఈరోజు ౪౪ రూపాయలకి కిలో బియ్యం వచ్చేవి, రేపు అదే ౪౪ రూపాయలకి అరకిలో బియ్యం రాకపోతే ఏడవాలా నవ్వాలా ? స్టాక్ ఎక్ఛేంజీలు వెలిగిపోతున్నాయని, శ్రీ జైట్లీ మహోదయుల వారు సంబర పడితే పడవచ్చు గాక.  అవి జూదగృహాలు.  సామాన్యుడి ఒళ్ళు ఇతరభాగాలు స్టాక్ ఎక్స్ఛేంజీలలో ఇదివరకే కాలిపోయాయి.

Three piece suit is a luxury for India. మూడు దుస్తుల సూట్ భారతీయులకు ఒక భోగం. भारतीय जन के लिये तीन पीस सूट एक भोग वस्तु होता है।

Extreme cold places like Srinagar, Gulmarg, Kedarnath may require some warm clothing such as rugs. But not as decorators or ornaments. అతి శీతల ప్రదేశాలయిన శ్రీనగర్, గుల్మార్గ్, కేదార్ నాథ్ వంటి చోట్ల రగ్గుల వంటి రక్షణలు అవసరం కావచ్చు. కానీ అలంకారాలుగా కాదు. अति शीतल प्रदेश जैसे श्रीनगर, गुल्मार्ग, केदारनाथ आदी जगहों में रक्षण के लिये रग वगैरे के आवश्कता कभी कभी हो सकता। लेकिन व्यक्तिगत अलंकार के लिये नही।

India is one of the poorest countries in the world, which each one of we, Indians know. ప్రపంచంలోని అతిపేద దేశాలలో భారత్ ఒకటి అని మనలో ప్రతి ఒక్కరికీ తెలుసు. हम सब में हर एक को मालूम है कि दुनिया में सर्व भ्रष्ठ गरीब देशों में भारत एक है।

We suffer from scarcity of single piece garments to protect our bodies from the vagaries of heat-rains-and-cold. Women do not have adequate clothing to cover their bare bodies from the ogling eyes of the other gender. ఎండా, వానా, చలి ల నుండి మనలను మనం రక్షించుకోటానికి శరీరం పై కప్పుకోటానికి ఏకవస్త్రానికే కరువు. స్త్రీల విషయానికి వస్తే ఎక్స్ రే కళ్ళతో దొంగచూపులు చూసే అన్యలింగులనుండి కాపాడుకోటానికి ఏకవస్త్రానికే కరువు. उष्ण, वर्ष, शीतल, वगैरे प्रकृतिशक्तियो से हम हमारे को रक्षण करने के लीये कपडे के कमी है। नारी लोग अपने कटी और जघन को घुसते हुऎ धूर्त मर्दों के नजरों से छिपाने के लिये कपडे की की मी है।

In this situation, how will it be, if our rulers dress like ostentatious beggars and flaunt themselves for publicity? ఇలాంటి పరిస్థితులలో , మన పాలకులు పగటివేషగాళ్ళలాగా డ్రెస్ చేసుకుని ప్రచారం కొరకు ఊరేగుతుంటే ఎలా ఉంటుంది? इन परिस्थितयों में, हमारे पालक महोदय, दिखावटी भिकारियों के जैसे तीन पीस कपडे पहनकर , प्रचार के लिये खूद को दिखावा करते फिरते रहे तो, कैसा लगेगा?

Won't it occur to us, "Is our country really poor?" "ఈ దేశం నిజంగా పేద దేశమేనా అని మనకనిపించదూ?" यह हमारे को घटित नहीं होगा कि, "यह देश् सचमुच गरीब है ?"

Why do you call them ostentatious beggars and insult them? They are going to bring us billions of Dollars, Euros and Yens of foreign investments. మీరు వాళ్ళని పగటి వేషగాళ్ళని ఎందుకంటున్నారు, వారిని అవమానిస్తున్నారు? వాళ్ళు మనదేశానికి బిలియన్ల కొద్దీ డాలర్ల, యూరోల, యెన్ ల విదేశీ పెట్టుబడులను తీసుకురాబోతున్నారు. आप हमारे पालको को दिखावटी भिकारी क्यों कहते है, और अपमान करते है ? हमारे पालक हमारो के बिलियन्स आफ् डालर्स, यूरोस, और जपान यॆन् ला विदेशी निवेश रुप में लाने जा रहे हैँ।

If so why did Gandhiji become a semi-naked fakir? అలాగయితే గాంధీగారు అర్ధ నగ్న ఫకీర్ గా ఎందుకు అయ్యారు? यदी ऐसा है तो, गांधीजी क्यों अर्ध नग्न फकीर बने थे? (सशेष. Incomplete, To continue. ఇంకా ఉంది.)
