"My vision is that everyone irrespective of their history must be allowed to participate in making this world a better place"  - Jitendra Rajaram  Hopeful! Everyone can be hopeful, no one must die hopeless Economy is a political arrangement of power. It is not about money. Money is a tool to exercise the power one holds.    Politics is a continuous struggle of reshuffling the power arrangement among various power fringes. These fringes are class, caste, community, ethnicity, skin colour, gender, age, and family identities. Macroscopically, this struggle is homogeneous, everyone is fighting with everyone else. Microscopically however, one can observe patterns. The patter is a binary, a war between “Handful powerful elites” and “Million weak, poor and discarded bands of people”. Whoever is ruling, has actually achieved a temporary state of equilibrium. This equilibrium is the sum of positive and negative powers like religion, wealth, societies, people...

The Idea of India never born, it was only conceived. It died well before the coming of labour pain in 1948. The next what happened is what Oxymoron Hindu widely believed about 'Ravana'. They killed him once but they burn its effigy every year; so that they can keep the trauma alive. They celebrate the hypocritical claim that   Golden State of Lanka   was bad and   Dhobis-Idea of Rama Rajya   was great. In 1948 the exact replica of Ramayana happened again! They killed Gandhi, who was endorsing Rama Rajya, and advocated that his assassin Nathuram Ghodse did it for the people. Now the Ghodse is new holy man they want to cheer for. Like they praised Ravana they praise Gandhi and like they revere Ram they revere Ghodse. Well forget Ghodse Ram reverence, here I am trying to explain how wilfully ‘The Idea of India’ was a stillborn. No wonder why no one cries over its corpse. Jawaharlal Nehru once said to Jahangir Tata " Don't use the word profit Jer, I hate that word ...

"Can anything as benign as Green Revolution has any ill-effect? When we were revolutionising the agriculture in one of the world's most fertile land of Haryana and Punjab a factory of pesticide manufacturing called 'Union Carbide' took a million lives in Bhopal gas Tragedy."  By Jitendra Rajaram T he development of mankind is so complex that it is hard to foresee the consequences of even the most thoughtful projects of public administration. In the stroke of midnight of 14th August 1947, India had risen to a new life. The leaders of liberal India were set to draft the fortune of billions deprived human being living in the worlds most strategically significant sub-continent of Asia. They were incisive, determined and honest but were surrounded by the opportunists, needy, greedy and shoddy influencers. The tension between these two lead to a fiasco where we as nation failed! We failed to adopt rigid economic policies. What we did afterwards is merely an...

This version of truth will never come out to public. No financial experts will perfectly explain this reasons of falling economy because this truth is far more dangerous than falling rupee! A few months ago, Anna Hazare visited Indore city. During his procession I was a bystander due to traffic jam. As a common man I only appreciate Anna for all his deeds but never participated in his campaigns. Like me there are many who admire him but are so much strangled in life’s dwelling that they only wish for his success. Nonetheless, like me there were many other bystanders. As Amartya Sen says that Indians uniqueness is that they are too talkative, a bystander expressed his annoyance with me. “I hate this man!” stranger said to me pointing towards Anna “Why?” I did not reduce my smiling face but was gravely hurt by his remark. How can anyone hate this nice old man? One can disagree with him but in no case will anyone ever hate him the least. I got further bumped to know more a...
