President  Barack Obama- Why to blame him?
================================
Barack Obama is facing very tiff fight against his Republic Nominee Mitt Romney in the Forthcoming November 2012 Presidential Election.
                Barack Obama inherited the Mess Economy, Two wars were going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, Huge deficit, Two digit Unemployment Rate and the tense political situation from Libya to Pakistan  including Iran. There was a crisis regarding collapsing of Major Financial Institutions and Industries. The housing and real estate crisis were also very huge.
               Economy: Barack Obama created 3 million jobs against the loss of 818000 jobs as reported by  independent agency. He assisted the Banking and Auto Industries to recover back. He also introduced modified mortgage and refinance schemes.
               Education: He introduced  the reform in the education sector with coordination of teacher unions.
               Domestic Issues: He endorsed the Gay Marriage. He also made arrangements to see that young illegal immigrants with clean records get work permits. He had successfully carried out the Health Care reforms.
               Foreign Policy: His  selection of  Hillary Clinton as a Secretary  of State was a right choice and he could bring desired results through diplomatic Chanel. The troops from Iraq was successfully brought and had fixed the date for withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. He could successfully squeeze the Iran through International pressure on its Nuclear Policy. He could also prevent Israel from waging the war with Iran.
              He is not much successful regarding the policies with Afghanistan and Pakistan.  However his  communication machinery is not effective as it  is suppose to keep American people well informed about his achievements. There is still time to take care of all those things.

National Grandparents Day of America- 9 Th September  2012
=============================================
                                                      America is observing the National Grandparents Day next Sunday after labor Day. It was announced in the year 1978 when the Jimmy Carter was President of America. Jimmy Carter is also very family type person and he has tremendous respect for Seniors and their Contributions in the Society. Therefore The National Grandparents Day was declared in order to educate the youth in the Community about important contributions Seniors have made throughout the History.
                                                       The Indian culture has already recognized the contributions of the Grandparents in the Society. They are the most respected in the family from generation to generation. It is a strength behind the Indian family system.
                                                        I have not seen my Grandparents but my father described me about their high qualities. My Grand father was a Teacher and my Grandma was Homemaker.
                                                       My Grandfather died very early Age. Hence my Grandma has to stay with her parents for maintenance of her children. Once she felt insulted with the behavior of her Parents. She decided to leave the house without thinking about financial consequences. She told her children that' We can  not stay in the place where our self respect is not maintained . Her father has to tender apology to her.
                                                      My Grandfather was a man of principle even though he was a ordinary Teacher in Bhavnagar State of Gujarat. Once the high official of the said state requested him to help him by giving Special  lessons to his Son. He was ready to offer any amount of money for the same. But Grandpa stood to his principle of not giving any private  lessons.  He advised the said official to instruct his son to give more attention in the class room. The official was very much upset due to Grandpa's refusal and transferred him to very remote village.  But Grandpa did not cared for such punishment and never compromised with his principles.  That is how our family inherited the high sense of self respect, and never to compromise with the Values and Principles.
                                                    This is only to say that Qualities of Grandpa and Grandma always helps to create high character in the family. Besides that their experiences are like treasure which every generation should try to preserve it for passing on to next generation.

VIOLENCE- WHY?


=============
                                                            The World is  for Nonviolence but it is observed that tendency for violence is increasing.The unabated violence is going on in one or other forms.Therefore it is better to analyse the various reasons for the same .
                                                             The violence is encouraged in the children's Games,Videos and Movies.. Children are having very delicate mind and they are easily  prone to the violence. Some time racial fights also takes place in the schools. There are instances wherein unstable students had kill several other school students that too with the weapon stolen from the home. Besides that domestic violence also has increased due to disturbed family life.
                                                             The religious violence is the most dangerous which is prevailing all over world. The Tribal fights also leads to violent massacres. The different ideologies also creates conflicts. Sometime the violence is also outcome of insecurity and sick mind.
                                                           The  violent revolutions for the  better of people are justified. The war between good and evil and between right and wrong are also Glorified. Hence we may divide the violence in two categories for good and bad. However it can be seen from the prevailing conditions in the world that violence is increasing for different reasons.
                                                            It is observed that ' From Pakistan to Palestine the main cause of violence is on religious ground i.e.Religious Terrorism. It is between Shea, and Sunni, or Ahmedia cast in Muslim with other Muslim sects etc.  There was a  violent conflict between Buddhist and Muslim  in Myanmar. The riots  between Muslim and Hindu are also occurring in India.  The muslims in Russia and China are fighting violently  for separation. The continuous bomb blasts are going on in Iraq, Afghanistan,  and Pakistan. India is facing another form of violence from Naxalite movement who are fighting on the name of liberating the downtrodden people.
                                                  USA  whose majority population consist of immigrants facing the threat of internal violence. It occurs due to hate crime or because of sick mind. The mentally sick persons are killing in schools, colleges,  theater, and religious places. The three bomb blast have taken place in New york in last 30 days.It shows that violence is increasing day by day.Besides that  assault weapons are also freely available in the market.This is being justified in the name of self defence and insecurity. Some people are trying to have control over Gun but they are appears to be in minority.  In the 1992 78% people in USA  were supporting the Gun Control but in the 2012 it is reduced to 43%. Besides that the National Rifle Association who is for free gun right has also increased it membership from 25 lakhs to 43 lakhs i.e.  from 1982 to present. It can be seen that  violence is increasing everywhere from Developing to undeveloped Countries for one or other reasons
                                                The individual efforts will not be effective for controlling the Violence but collective efforts of all nations and people are required. Christ, Buddha, Mahavir and  Gandhi’s calls  for non violence are appears to be vanishing  from this  world.

Obesity
=====
                                       The Obesity has its own History.  In the old age those who use to live physically inactive life with lots of comforts were  suffering from obesity.  Besides that  majority people were then use to be saved from the same as they use to live active and manual  life. We are well aware that  some of the communities who are doing business but not active physically are suffering from the obesity. The mechanized system has also reduced the manual labour in day to day life. It indirectly encourages the obesity.
                                       The people are now very much conscious regarding  the shape of body. Therefore obesity it is now recognized as Major decease. However much is required to be done regarding the same as it is spreading like wild fire.
                                       In the USA  about  20%  people are suffering from the Obesity. It is also spreading very fast in younger generation. Besides that in some of the states of USA  has 34%  obesity rate which is very alarming figure.
                                       I had observed once that husband was caring his disabled wife on wheel chair as she was suffering from obesity.  Subsequently the same person gradually started  suffering from the obesity. Thus both husband and wife became disabled and became miserable.
                                       The young boys and even girls are also sometime finding it difficult to breath and to walk due to their bulky bodies. However when more and more young people are seen with heavy bodies then it is very bad picture.  The Education department USA has also taken steps to see that the free food given to the school children are also modified accordingly  in order to control the obesity.
                                       The obesity also encourages several deceases and brings pressure on health care system. Besides that it also makes health care system more and more expensive.
                                         The most important reason for obesity lies in the food.  Some  people takes lot of Sugar, Cheese, Butter, Ice Cream, Chocolates etc. The children are generally more fond of  those food items. The excess eating of non veg food also put extra weight on the body. Hence  voluntary food control is required to be enforced. The people should be also educated to moderately consume such products for healthy life.
                                          The regular Walk, Yoga, and  Vigorous physical exercises  are also essential in order to control the obesity. The educating the  people regarding obesity is necessity of the hour. This is very much important  for making our future generation  Healthy.

America- Its major problems
====================
America which is a super power in the world is also having  burning problems like Immigration, Unemployment, Healthcare and Huge Deficit in the Budget. It has also badly effected the American Economy.
                                       We are also aware that economy is suffering very badly with Inflation and Unemployment. Besides that recession is still going on. However President Barack Obama said that some of the area like silicon valley is doing very well and it is coming out from the clouds of recession.
                                       We must  go analytically with the problems faced by American Economy and solution thereof if any. We are having election of President in the November 2012 and a Person  who  will be elected will have to face those major problems. Health Care, Immigration, Unemployment and very large financial deficit in the Budget are major issues. The most of the issues mentioned above are interrelated.
                                      Immigration is the very delicate and vital problem for the Economy.  America may be having only one advantage due to illegal immigrants i.e. Gets some cheap lebour. However they do not pay any Taxes, and they are direct burden on Health Care and Welfare. The American government is tightening the immigration law and its implementation in order to stop illegal immigrants. However in the process it is overlooked that America also required skill and Cream of the world in order to maintain  America ahead in world race. America is having the least number of foreign born skill immigrant  then Canada and Australia. It is not good sign for American Economic developments. Besides that  it cannot be ignored that highly educated skill immigrant have contributed lot in the American Economy. The foreign born highly educated Indian American Immigrants have contributed in 50% of new start up in America between the year of 1995- 2005. It has also created Employment of 450000. The One Million Skill Indian immigrants are there but their families are on temporary Visa. The present law does not permit their families to work. They cannot even start new ventures. Therefore immigration law is required to be rationalized in the best interest of America. In the case of  unskilled illegal immigrant workers who are having clean records can be accommodated which will give additional revenue in the form of taxes.  The Indian American immigrants are very highly educated and  they are considerably contributing in the American Economy. They are only1.5% of the population of America but 38% of that are Doctors,12% Scientist, 36% NASA, Scientist, 34% Working with Microsoft,28% Working with IBM,17% Intel and 13% with  ZAROX. These shows by modifying the immigration law America can get more Brains from allover world in order to prosper its Economy.
                                                  America will have to see that small Enterprises are encouraged to start manufacturing activities and with encouragement to start Service Center Once Again. It will transfer thousands of jobs from abroad to America. It will also reduce the unemployment Considerably. Besides that it will reduce the imports which will also help to reduce the financial deficit. The reduction in the administrative expenses can also reduce the deficit considerably. It is said that Obama Health Care law will cover the more then 90%of population of America including gradually decreasing the Health Care cost.
                                                America has to Economically go ahead in order to maintain its position  in the this Competitive World. Therefore above mentioned issues are to be tackled effectively

India - Once Prosperous Country Now Poor.
===============================
(On the right from top Portraits of Mohmmad Gazanavi and below Nadir Shah of Persia)
Max Muller a German scholar was first person who recorded his speech on the Gramophone which was invented by Thomas Alva Edison. He stated in the said speech that 'India was having well developed civilization when Europe was in Dark age. He also quoted one mantra on 'Agni' (Fire) from Rigveda to substantiate his statement. Vedas were written 5000 years ago.  India then was rich in culture and wealth. Mohenjo Daro, Harappa, Lothal are the remains of those rich culture. The Agriculture was in advanced stage which use to generate lot of wealth. They use to have three harvest.  Besides that trade, and metallurgy science were also well developed. There were gold, silver, daimond and steel mines which were developed very well. Even steel was exported to Persia and other countries. The Chola  Dynasty of Tamilnadu had expanded their influence  up to Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Maldev  There was  well developed trade  with those countries. Thus foreign trade use to bring lot of wealth from abroad.
                         The western Traveler Marco Polo described the Malabar(Kerala)  a land of amazing people with millions of precious Gems and Gold Coins. Vasco De Gama was very much impressed with the Ship making Industries then in India. He stated that Indian ships were 10 times bigger than European made ships.
                         In the time of East India company’s Rule the  British parliament sent one of it members to survey the Indian condition. He reported that  ‘No Beggars were found. The moral of Indian people is very high.Its Education System is very Good’. He suggested that ’We will have to destroy the India's Educational,  Industrial and Moral Bases in order to Establish our Rule. That is how British Rule was established with impressing  upon that ‘Everything which comes  from England was of superior and whichever are produced in India were of inferior qualities. They Emphasize on the knowledge of English is most important. It lowered the indian  Moral up to great extent. It is said  that the European Industrial Revolution started with the wealth brought from Asian Colonies. How India became poor? Paul Kennedy says ‘ British Rule changed the Indian Economy from Rural to City Oriented’. Hence villages which were Backbone of Indian Economy were Broken.
                          Besides that if you see Historically Outside Invaders also looted Indian wealth. Mohammad Ghazanavi invaded India 17 times. He took away 6.5 Tons of Gold, 5000 Precious Stone. He looted Mathura for 20 days and took away wealth of about 100000000 Red Dinar. Nadir Shah of Persia took away 70 crores of wealth along with Peacock Throne and Kohinoor Diamond. Besides that Britishers looted from India  One Trillion Pound as per figures quoted by K M Munshi,(In the Year 1946) a Writer and Historian.
                                      However it is very unfortunate that even our own people are still looting us through several Frauds/Scams. Those money are gone to Swiss Bank or in Tax Heaven.
There are about 25 big Scams have taken place after Independence. The Mundra Scam to 2G Telecom Scam it continues. It is reported that 27.3 billion dollars are annually slashed away to Tax Heaven. Therefore India is still poor in spite of that it has precious Intellectual Treasure. It is  very unfortunate that India was looted by Foreigners and now by our own people. Therefore India is really poor and 33% of Indian population is living in below poverty line.

 America---
============
America was founded few Centuries ago
The Equality,  Liberty and Justice are its base
It was not easy to form the Nation
When Mite was right was Notion
The Racial problem was very much in Sight
when Native Indians were in mood to Fight
Then Statue of Liberty gave one Message
Without doing Duty and Sacrifice  No use of freedom
