Decline of Marriage System

                                                                                                                                                                                       Marriage system is based on Contract or on religious Sanctity. However its concept depends upon the relative religion of the concerned parties. Besides that it is also a foundation of civilized societies.  It is being observed that the marriage system is now loosing its main purpose of disciplining  the young couples who are supposed to create the good and pleasant societies. The system which was formed on Understanding, Adjustments, and sacrifice has apparently lost all its qualities . Therefore the cracks are appearing in the marriage system. The Economical conditions, Marriage laws and the Wrong concepts of Privacy/ Liberty have thrown Fuel in the Fire.

                                           In the view of above the new concept of living in relationship with contract or to live in relationship with understanding has come up. That amounts to have licence to live in intimate relationship or  sexual relationship without any responsibilities on the part of concerned partners.These are the clear cut signals of declining marriage system.
                                           The half of America is single.It may be because of death of the one of the spouses or a person is divorcee or a person is unmarried. The divorce rate of the married couple is also increasing. The divorce rate of the world to day stands to 20% while it is 50% in USA. It is observed from survey that the Average age for marriage in  USA  for boy is  about 33 years while for girl it is about 28 years. This shows that next generation is delaying the marriage for the best reasons known to them.
                                            Even the rate of divorce is also going  up. The Japan is traditional and  very conservative country wherein the divorce rate has reached as high as 32%.  Even in India also the divorce rate has gone up to 14%. The marriage is considered  to be pious and  life long  bond in Indian Culture.  In spite of that the divorce rate is increasing in India. It is a matter of great concern for Indian society.
                                             The question arises in the mind that "Why so many divorces are  taking place in the Society ?  There are some specific reasons for the divorce but we have fail to rectify the same.  Following are some of the reasons for divorce.
1) Nowadays the Marriage are mainly based based on physical attraction which vanishes with the time.
2)Some time different brought up with different natures or status or  traditions also creates rift in the couple and ultimately it reaches to divorce.

 3)The ladies are now well educated which makes them  career minded. It blocks the road of adjustments

4) There are no feeling of sacrifice, and adjustments among the partners.

5) The wrong concept of limitless liberty and too much privacy also bring the divorce.  

                                               However all these things show that marriage system is on declining stage. Therefore it is necessary to take corrective steps in order to stop further deterioration of the marriage system.  It is better to take necessary action before it is too late

The Mess in  Jammu/Kashmir
                                                                                                                                                              The condition of Kashmir is becoming delicate after the Mufti Mohamed Saiyed Government took over. The first step Mufti Mohamed took to release the Masrat Alam who is for the separation of Kashmir . Thereafter Mufti Mohamed claimed the  Mortal remains of the body of Afsul Guru who was hanged as he was responsible for  attacking Indian parliament. Mufti Mohamed also changed his  view on the resettlement of  displaced Kashmir Pundits. He said there is no necessary to have separate settlement of Kashmir Pundits. They can come and stay along with Kashmir people. In the process he overlooked the security of Kashmir Pundits if they come back to Kashmir and settle down.

                                                Masrat Alam  became very active as soon as he was released and organized rally along with  Hurriyat leader Gillani in fevour of Pakistan.  The Pro Pakistani slogans along with the Pakistani flags were flied during the Rally.  The media also exposed one Pro Pakistani women leader holding women meeting in her house along with Pakistani flag. It was reported that such things are going on since long time on Pakistan Day Celebration. The Hurriyat leader Gillani who was under house arrest slipped from his house to attend the Pro Pakistani Rally. Gillani also gave very explosive statement recently to the effect that 'Amarnath Yatra should not be allowed more than One Month. Besides that one of the  young agitators who took part in the Pro Pakistani  demonstration was killed is made out to be' Shahid'. The Pakistan  has also started advising India on Kashmir matter. It amounts to the interference in the internal  affairs India.

                                          These above matters are very ridiculous  which are  happening in Kashmir. No country in the world will  tolerate such  matters.  India has to strongly act  to control the situation otherwise India  may loose Kashmir on account of weak policy.

 India's Defense Scams
                                                                                                                                                              The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi  is presently touring France on Goodwill visit. Meanwhile he has also signed so many agreements with France. One of the important agreements was buying 36 'Rafal Fighter' Aircrafts for  Indian Air force.

                                                       Dr Subramaniam Swami of ' BJP ' has objected the Deal on the ground that  fighter planes are not up to mark as per requirement of Indian  Air force. Besides that he also pointed out that it was a shady deal signed  during the time of  previous government wherein sisters of Sonia Gandhi's were also involved. He also threaten to challenge the agreement in the Court. In this even congress party also inciting him to do so.
                                                        This is not the first time defense deal which is being question on the ground of quality and corruption.  There are instances of shady and corrupt defense deals in the past.
 It will be interesting to note the following deals which became very controversial
                                                        1)  Krishna Menon  was a High commissioner of England in the year 1948. The 200 Jeeps were ordered for the defense purpose from England but only 155 Jeeps were only delivered. In the process India has to bare the loss of  80 lakhs then. The deal was not investigated further as Krishna  Menon was very close to Nehru then Prime Minister of India.

                                                         2) The Bofer Gun scam took place in the time of Rajive Gandhi wherein it is alleged that 63 Crore Rupees Commission was being paid. The names of  many appeared in the scam including of Rajive Gandhi then the Prime Minister.

                                                         3) It is said that there was scam in the year 1999  in respect of the 'Coffins for dead bodies of Kargil War Soldiers'.
                                                         4) In the year 2000 India purchased 'Barak Missiles of about 1150 crores from Israel.  However they were not up to mark and some scam was alleged for the same.

                                                         5) Besides that there were 'Tatra Trucks and Augusta Wasteland Helicopter scams also propped up thereafter.

                                                           The defense of India  is very important as it is  surrounded by hostile Countries like Pakistan, China and Bangladesh etc. Therefore India is compelled to buy defense equipment of thousands of crores. However in the process it is very unfortunate that crores of rupees are being cornered through scams by the undesirable elements.  God  save India from such people and hope the present government clear the country from this Mess

The Principles of Good Management-
                                                                                                                                                                      The skill of management can be learnt from the books but put it is difficult in putting into practice.. However if person who is on the top of management and tells you his own practical experiences then it becomes easy to adopt it. The theory and practical has such wast difference.
                                                   The CEO of Master Card Ajay Banga  very recently talked to the management students about the principles of management in very practical manner. Ajay Banga is even occupiing very high position in US administration as a member of advisory committee for trade policy and negotiation. He is also chairman of the US-INDIA Business Council.
                                                 He pointed out the following factors which are important for the Management point of view-
1)One must be conscious about the urgency. Therefore information should pass on very fast. He said that adverse developments should be given more importance for taking immediate and corrective measures in management. Hence he said in light manner that good news can come through stairs but bad news should reach to higher management through elevator.
2) One may hear all others in  management but  should have sense of urgency to take decision and execute the same. Hence one must have sense of balance in management
3)One must have  courage to take calculated risky decision in the management.
4) One must continuously introspect and ask himself whether he is missing anything in his management. However that does not mean that he should be fearful.
5) One should be global in management in order to equip himself effectively. Therefore you must be surrounded by people with different views, nature and experiences. He stressed more on diversity in the management.
6) One should always do good for whom he manages and for others who are concerned with
                                               These are the practical management principles coming from the CEO of the most reputed company in the world

 Politics

                                                                                                                                                                  It is said that politics is a place for scoundrels.  Besides that Anna Hazare also added that it is a full of  Dirt.  What is going on in Aam Admi Party and including in other parties  amounts to same.

                                                              It was very pleasant  pictures to see Anna Hazare along with  his followers Arivind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Jadav  and other fighting for Lokpal Bill in order to bring Changes in the political field of the country. The people all over India were very much supportive for their agitation thinking that it will brings changes in in the Indian politics. Such pleasant picture was temporary as politicians were playing their own game to destroy the  movement. Even some of those leaders who joined the Anna Hazare movement had their hidden personal ambitions. Some of them joined who were not even getting place in politics. However common people were there only for the interest of the Country.

                                                              One by one one with different reasons most of the leaders broke away from the Anna Movement and he was totally deserted. This was a natural phenomena in politics when opportunist cannot achieve their goals. Some of them left even on alleged principles. However Arvind Kejriwal enter into politics telling Anna Hazare that " We have to enter into politics to clean it even if there is a dirt".

                                                            What is happening in the Aam Admi Party now shows that instead of coming out clean like Lotus from dirt the most of its leaders are now covered by it. Besides that it is crystal clear that most of them joined the party for their personal political ambitions instead of giving clean political field. Hence ultimately it is being proved that in politics everybody is playing the same personal  political game. However in the process the people of India is watching the dirty political game helplessly as their efforts to bring clean political atmosphere is failing miserably. Let us now wait for one more opportunity with one more Dynamic and Clean  leader. Hope for the Best.

What they Thought and Said-
                                                                                                                                                                Reverend Edward Everett Hale had his own experiences with Congressmen and Sentors. It may be good and bad but he said once that" I look at the US senators and pray  for the country" Mahatma Gandhi had his own view on Indian and western civilization. But he discretely and shortly said once about Western Civilization " I think it would be a good idea."

                                        Once Oscar wild was humiliated very badly. Somebody had thrown rotten Cabbage on him on the stage. However he calmly and  intelligently replied him "Thank you my friend. Every time I smell it, I shall reminded of you." Abraham Lincoln was once accused of two faced.  he replied it very lightly and jocularly that " If I had two faces do you think I had be wearing this one."

                                         Winston Churchill was very humorous.  One of the MPs once asked him " Churchill  must you fall sleep when I am speaking?"  Churchill curtly replied  " No it is purely Voluntary."
Once Bessie  Braddock told Churchill "Winston you are drunk and what is more you are disgustingly drunk"
Churchill replied it very sportingly that " Bessie you are disgustingly ugly, but tomorrow I shall sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly."

                                         However some people are very sharp in their remarks. Once Groucho Mark'x said sarcastically to somebody " I never forget a face but in your case I will glad to make exception."
                                          This shows that each celebrity is having it own style and way to convey his views.

Unholy Alliances in Indian Politics.
                                                                                                                                                                  It is said that politics is the game of scoundrels. No politician is ever enemy of any one permanently. In short it is like bed shared by odd couple if necessary arises. In Indian politics mostly two things are very important for politicians i.e. power and wealth. Hence any odd alliances can take place at any time. There were very few political leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel and others which can be counted on finger tips and who believed in principles and values. Those tall leaders were ready to leave power and wealth for the national and public interest. Now days we can observe such odd alliances in politics for personal ambitions and overlooking public interest. It is strange that political parties who were fighting against each other becomes friendly after election i,e, On the name of giving stable government. However the main interest behind such alignments are for power sharing. This is not good for the country and the democratic system .

                                             The present alliances  between  Lalu Yadav, Sharad Yadav, and Nitiskumar in Bihar is purely a marriage of convenience against 'BJP'. Similarly the alliance between 'BJP' and Manjiram a defected former chief minister of Bihar is only adjustment without any common factor in the the matter. Even to make their political alliances powerful the Politicians can go up to having family members marriage alliances. This is only done in order to strengthen their political base. It is very funny to see the Political Enemies of the past hugging publicly each other. The  people must be enjoying the fun. The card of secularism is played against communalism in order to get votes. The some of the parties which were not ready to touch 'BJP' are now ready to join with them for the sake of power.
                                            Such odd alliances has taken place in the Jammu and Kashmir between 'PDP' and 'BJP' in order to share the power. However their political out look is quit against each other. In the process the separatist and terrorist element may furnished in the valley. Besides that 'BJP' has to give up their stand on Article 370 and on the displaced Kashmiri Brahmin problems of  the valley. It is on the whole power sharing at the cost of public and national interest.

                                             It is also observed that the recently formed 'AAP' Party also was ready to share power with congress before election in order to stop 'BJP' to come power in Delhi.  This clearly shows that any body can join anybody for sharing power without any consideration of public or national interest.
All these shows that Indian public is watching all those acrobatics helplessly. The question arises that whether India is having real democracy or it is only for name sake. However in the process  Indian public is still suffering with political corruption, mismanagement and misuse of public resources. It is also fact that about 33% of Indian population is still suffering from poverty and minimum services after independence of  more then 65 years. We can at least  pray 'God' to save India
