The American Presidential Election of November 2012.
(   Present American Economy.)
===============================================
 The forthcoming presidential election is between Barack Obama (Democrat) and Mitt Romney(Republican).It may be that Barack Obama may be ahead of Mitt Romney with few points in Survey but it is going to very tiff fight.
        The unemployment rate has come down about 8% which is lowest in last few years. Besides that Real estate is coming up. These are the few good sign for economy. However America is running with huge deficit of about more that one trillion dollars per year. The democrat want to increase the tax on higher income group, to reduce and save the expenses on Health care i.e. Medicare. They also want to stop the tax credit given to higher income group by  Bush administration  The Barack Obama have already saved 741 billion dollars from medicare. Mitt Romney says it will effect the quality of medicare. Besides that Mitt Romney is against the increasing the taxes. He is also against the cut in tax credit which will come in the way of  business, and industrial development  He is also for cutting the government expenses including welfare etc. He intend to create 12 millions jobs for which he has to give details.  Mitt Romney believes that more income can be created by creating employments and development of business and industries  However he has to substantiate all this with detail plan. This shows how establishment is at disadvantage as they present exact figures while its contender go on with hypothetical figures.
          However let us see what is the present position of income and expenses of America i.e.Income $ 2.5 trillion per year  while Expenses are $3.8 trillion per year which are creating deficit of $1.3 trillion per year. America is already having deficit of about more then $15.00 trillion.
 Hence it will  be very difficult task for the elected president to balance the budget by.  However it is certain that  Health Care expenses, Defense expenses, and Income tax income,  will be major items wherein lot of  rectification will be required. Besides that lot of thinking will have to be done regarding the expenses made on Subsidies..
         Americans will have vote for a right candidate in order to solve the economic problems of the country. Otherwise there will be further danger regarding sliding down of the credit rating of America.  We sincerely pray 'God save the America'.

DRAGON IS AWAKENED
===================
India and china are neighbor country but it appears there is tension in their relationship. It can be very easily described as a cold war. In the economic development also they are rivals in the world. They stands fifth and fourth  rank among the biggest economies of the world.
                                                          What is a common between the two countries? Their culture are thousands of years. They had religious, social and business connections since long time. The disciples of Buddha had  taken Buddhism from India to China. It also carried the family values from India to China. Besides that the most pious places of Hindu religion Mansarovar(Lake) and Kailash Mountain are in Tibet  They  are situated in Chinese territories. In short India and china has been exchanging cultural, social and scientific knowledge since long time. Besides that India and China were colonized by European countries and even exploited .Therefore there are deep wounds of exploitation on the people of both countries.
                                                         However the Yellow race of China is considered to be one of the Superior races of the world. Therefore it is said you do not awaken the dragon otherwise it will disturb you. The strength of china reflects in the historical achievements of Chinggis Khan, Kublai Khan etc. The Marxist leader MaoTseTung revolutionized the China. Thereafter  China emerged as one of the the powerful countries in the world. That mean Chinese Dragon is awaken and we do not know where and when it will disturb the world. China  lays it hands anywhere they feel it belonged to them. They took, Hong Kong, Macau,and Tibet and now their eyes are on Taiwan, and on  the  international water of South Sea. They want Akshay Chin, Arunachal Pradesh and other Areas of India by creating border disputes. China wants to become super power in the world by increasing its domination, and acquiring strategic territories.
                                                         The report of the intelligent bureau of India says that during the year 2010 to 2011 China crossed the Indian territories in 750 places which covers Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. Some places they came inside up to 3 km to 7 km. Besides that they alleged that India has destroyed their surveillance post in Ladakh. This shows that after the war of 1962 they are still keeping military pressure on India. It also indicate  their malicious intention.
                                                          China has surpassed India in economic progress with high handed manner with their authoritarian rule. China is a close country  while  India  is open with Democracy. The intellectual power of India is higher. India may be having slow progress than China but it is steady and sound. Therefore  one  American journalist has said that ‘The China may be factory of world but India is laboratory.
                                                         The whole world is suffering from economic depression i.e. from USA , Europe,Russia, Japan and other countries. Besides that middle east and african countries are involve in internal turmoils. There is only one country in the world which is  silently making its way in the world. That is China.
                                                         China GDP is Average at 81/2%. Its manufacturing activities are  going on higher side. The China is registering 20000 Car per Month in Beijing. It is also reported that every Household in Shanghai  has 1.9 Air Conditioners and 1.2 Computers.
                                                         China is also making good progress in sphere of alternative energies i.e. Solar, Wind  and Atomic. One of the solar companies ‘Himin corporation’ has provided Solar Energy to 6 millions families i.e. 25 Million people which come near to the population of USA. They are also  trying to harness wind and atomic energy on large scale. This shows china is determined to eliminate the pollution from the industries.
                                                         China has the biggest army in the world with long range missiles which can carry atomic weapons. All these arm power also makes it a world power militarily. China has ambition to expand its territory which can disturb India, Taiwan, South East Asian Countries and as well as small Islands in the South Sea. China has also raised issue with Japan over their claim on certain islands.
                                          China is also in search of mineral and other natural resources to feed it giant industrial plants. That is why it has spreaded its influence in surrounding countries i.e. Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar  including Australia, African Countries, Latin America, and in  the most of the other  Asian Countries.
                                          Chines are building Roads, Ports and building up Atomic Weapons/Missiles in Pakistan.  They are very much  in Nepal to help them in building up their infrastructures. In Myanmar they have  their control on their mineral and natural resources like oil etc. Bangladesh they are helping them to  build up their infrastructure and industry. Sri Lanka also recently they have  signed agreement wherein they will invest billions of dollars in aviation and port building. Thus it is difficult to find place where china do not have any economical interest. Even US owe more than trillion dollars to china. This all shows that china has big stake in the most powerful country in the world and  which can shake the world economy.
                                         However china consider india as its rival and has been trying to bring pressure on it through creating hostile ring of countries around. India is after completing liberalization process for world trade while China is playing its card cunningly. They are reversing the free trade process as per their convenience. They have delayed/ refused permission to international companies  to put their plants which can compete with Chinese companies. They asked BMW to put their plant in deserted area in order to discourage them.  This is to show that China is playing its card smartly by declaring that ‘They will have the policy suitable to their country’. They always sight Russian example where Russia failed due to liberalization policy. Besides that it disintegrated.
                                         India has a democratic system which also carry some liabilities with it. Hence India has to be careful about the expansionist policy of China. The Chinese aggression of 1962 is a very bad experience for india. Therefore India has to be more careful on Chinese front  along with Pakistan.
                                         Besides that there is report from the American ‘ Think Tank Middle East Media Research Institute that ‘The Pakistan is having military strategy with China under which Pakistan is giving Gilgit/Baltistan  to China for 50 years lease under the pretext of development Scheme. However China may strengthen its position therein during the lease period. It will be adverse military situation for India if it becomes reality. It also shows how China is increasing pressure on India.
                                         China consider India as a very soft target looking at the weak Indian policy.  Indian foreign minister  recently stated that ‘Tibet’ is  an integral part of China’ while allowing exile government of Tibet is freely operating in India. It is contradiction and weak foriegn policy of India.
                                          The 1962 aggression on  India by China was to prove that China is a Leader of Asia in every sense. Sardar Patel also  warned  Nehru well in advance and much before 1962 aggression of China regarding the malicious intention of China.
                                          There is no doubt that India is well prepared militarily now then 1962.  We have  Mountain Brigades of our army on the Border Area with China. We have now Airstrips and Roads on the Border area with China.  However we should be alert with China as much as with Pakistan.

Mahatma Gandhi
============
The 2nd October was the Birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, Father of Nation. i.e. India. It is not necessary to  search his biography to find his message but it only requires the study what he practiced in his life.
1)One must live simple life with least requirements.
==================================
Gandhi traveled all over India including the most poorest area. He had seen that poor women had no proper clothes to wear. He decided to be one with those downtrodden people by wearing dhoti and covering the least part of his body. Churchill called him the 'Naked Fakir' when he visited England. He presented himself in the same dress before the British King. It is reported that while taking food with British King he put the same salt in his food which he brought from Dandi March. It was a silent defiance of British Rule.
2)One to Practice in his life what he Preaches
================================
He always practice which he taught. He started with cleaning the toilet in order to show that no work is inferior and people doing that cannot treated as untouchable. His wife kasturba was very conservative she refused to do such work. He told you will have to do it as this is a thing which must start from us in order convince others.
3)To keep the sympathy for weakness of others
================================
Once somebody pointed out that so many people are there in his Ashram with dubious characters. He told who am I to see the fault of others when my self is full of weakness. I will take the cooperation of any person who is sincere in fighting for freedom which is our main goal.
4)Always see the qualities of person instead of his liabilities
=========================================
He selected the people with different views on the basis of their qualities.  Motilal, Jawaherlal Nehru never agreed with his philosophy. He knew but he worked with them for achieving freedom. Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Maulana Azad, Jayaprakash Narayan, Sardar Patel, Subhash Chandra Bose all those stalwart differed with him on or other issue but he managed to work with them and took the maximum advantage of their qualities and abilities.
5)To search the Truth Everyday.
=====================
Gandhi said he is always in search of truth and his truth  get change  with his experience. One of his colleagues pointed out that he is moving in public with putting two hands on the shoulders of two young girls but some of his followers may be treating it differently and they may misuse it. He told him firmly that he does not care until his conscious is clear. However he changed his view after sometime and accepted the views of his colleague openly in ‘Harijan’ wherein use to write regularly. It require lot of strength to accept the error of judgement.
6)One should Introspect regarding his actions from time to time
=============================================
Gandhi always use to introspect about his all actions and consequences thereon. He withdrew from so many agitations when they were on the peak because he found something was going against his guideline or philosophy.
7)The leaders are supposed to do public service with honesty  for the welfare of people.
=============================================================
He did public services without any personal interest and even some time inviting displeasure from his close family members. The life story of his son Hiralal is glaring example of the same. Therefore you will find no member of his family is in public life or occupying some important positions. That is message of his life that public service is meant for good  of people not welfare of one’s own family.
8)Leaders should maintain high values,and character in the public life.
================================================
He wanted that leader should be role model for general public in order to build up the character of people and to built up patriotism.. He suggest after independence that minister should stay in small house and draw only 500/- Rupees salary in order to set example among people. But unfortunately some of his own followers ruled out considering as impractical suggestions or mad idea.
                               Hence we can see that in the real sense Gandhiji's life is a message. One thing is certain that India is free but people are not  mentally free.  The Surajya of Bapu is still far away..
                                                   =========================
  

Health Care System of USA- Its problems
==============================
The Health Care system of USA  is the most expensive in the world. The several American  Presidents made efforts to rectified it but they failed. It is connected with various vested interest like insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, Doctors etc. Barak Obama recently passed Health Reforms which was  challenged by several states in the Supreme Court. It has been  approved by the Supreme Court of USA. However  we do not know as it may be repelled by the Republican Party.i.e. If they get majority in Congress,and Senate or their own  Party nominee get elected in the November 2012 Presidential election. However Health Care issues has become very controversial.
                                                                                  The  recent report of the' Institute of Medicine' shows what is wrong with our Health Care System.  The Health Care system is squandering $750 Billion per year which exceed the budget of Pentagon and it is more then the amount required for Insuring all Americancs.
                                                                                  It is very interesting to know how it is being squandered? The 210 Billion Dollars are spent after unnecessary services. The 190 Billion Dollars are spent in the form of Excess Cost. The 105 Billion Dollars are spent on inflated prize. The 55 Billion Dollars are spent towards  preventive failures. While75 Billon Dollars are going in frauds. This shows how much the Health Care system is broken.
                                                                                  The Total deficit of American Budget is heading towards 16 Trillion Dolllars and How this type of waste can be efforded by the Nation. We hope that Barak  Obama Health reform may be able to control such waste and will be able to give Insurance cover to all Americans. Besides that we hope that American budget deficit may be reduced by strict measures including controlling such huge waste of money in Health Care System. We hope for the Best.

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.
                                                **************************

Harry Truman former  President of America
--------------------------------------------------
He had made more important decisions regarding America then 42 preceding Presidents. He had only one house in Missouri which was inherited by his wife. He drove back to Missouri by car after his retirement as a President. Besides that he never accepted any job thereafter stating that" You do not want me. You  want office of the President and it does not belong to me. It belongs to people and it is not for sale."

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.
