On 16th May 2010 there is another deadliest Naxalist attack in Dantewada where more than 40 were killed including cops. Naxalism has been troubling Indian government for over four decades killing more than 10,000 people. The gravity of the problem can be understood where 16 out of 28 states are baffling with local terrorism. Majority of them are the poorer states. In fact Indian prime minister called this a major threat to country’s security. The reasons for uprising insurgency is the process of economic liberalization of the government where the rights of underprivileged, untouchables and marginalized people have been violated by taking land from them in the name of development by transnational corporations and industrialist ,the trials whom land pieces of land were taken still deprived for the rehabilitation. Grinding poverty is the root cause for new incumbent to join naxalism. Bahukutumbi Raman, a former head of the counter-terrorism division of India's external intelligence a...

There was a report in one of the leading newspapers of Saudi Arabia that 87% of employees in private sector are expatriates, now the question arises why private sector is attracted to foreign manpower? The reason is obvious foreign workers have been able to do all kinds of jobs but Saudi youths are reluctant to do jobs but selective ones and moreover they lack the professionalism they consider it low on the one hand lack attitude and refuse to put in their cent percent efforts and able to reduce the cost to firms and thus firms are able to earn more profits. Saudi being a wealthy economy is unable to control unemployment rate among its youth despite of government policy of Saudization. There seemed to be a mismatch between skills supplied versus skills required. Lack of work ethics and skills among Saudi youth is another cause for rising unemployment. The Saudi government is quite determined to reverse the situation by allocating a lion’s share of the current budget on education. Thi...

As developments unfolding who else is involved in gambling in the name of cricket which is known as gentlemen’s game. I really don’t understand why people are so obsessed with cricket up to the extent that they don’t have any other issues to discuss which is baffling the nation and society as a whole. I wonder when I see how come the best talent in our country in other sports has been neglected because of too much money involved in cricket. Our national game Hockey has been crying for financial resources and our government and rich industrialists are busy with enjoying and making money and increasing the gulf between haves and have not’s. Even the players of other budding nations have been rushing to India for earning good amount of money. And the saddest part is media both television and print is woven by mass cricket hysteria. Cricket players have been used as brand ambassadors without knowing whether they are masses’ ideal or not? The major drawback of such cricket hysteria is when...

The government is promising to increase the supply of goods and services and it is expecting that coming mansoon will help to increase the supply and ease off the rise. A couple of days back RBI decreased the CRR and ha...
