Iran

                                              Iran has a thousand years of history and culture. Its culture is rich in art, literature, poetry, music, cuisine, and architecture. It invented Algebra and Wrote about Medicine. It is also rich in forest and which had lots of lions, tigers cheetahs, and leopards in the past. But most of the wild cat species are extinct now and only cheetahs and leopards remain. 

                                             Once upon a time, it was known as Persia with a large empire from the Meditarian Sea to Pakistan but in AD 642 it was run down by the Islamic Empire. Parsis who landed in Gujarat and were compelled to leave Iran because of those adverse developments. Thereafter in-between it was occupied by foreign powers. However, in the year  1921 one of the Persian officers Reza Khan took charge of the country and his son Reza Pahlavi became the Shah of Iran in the year 1941. His regime was discredited due to a lot of corruption. The Islamic Revolution was organized by Islamic clergy Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in the year 1989. Since then Iran has been ruled by an Islamic Mullah and under Islamic law. However, Iran is a Siya Islamic State.

                                         Iran is struggling to become an Islamic Atomic Power to dominate Middle Eastern countries and to have a say in world politics. Because of the above America has imposed economic sanctions on Iran to prevent its becoming an Atomic power. Besides that, it can be a direct threat to Israel which is not in the interest of America.

                                        However, Iran is blessed with wide oil resources which it is selling at discount rates to China and other needy Countries. Iran has also created its nuisance value by financing terrorist organizations like' Hamas' in Palestine, 'Houthis' in Yemen, and 'Hizbullah' in Lebanon.

                                         Iran is also hard-pressed as its export of oil is reduced. It lacks the generation of cash and shortage of foreign exchange. The inflation is also very high which is creating discontent among people. The

people are also against imposing strict Islamic law. Women have also revolted against the covering of faces.

                                       In short, Iran is leading towards some type of political trouble in the country but it has also become now irritating country in the world.

Decline Of Economy- China

                                                        China is a close authoritarian country.  Its survivance technology is also working successfully. Therefore people are compelled to work and give the desired result without resistance. Media also talk and write what people in power desire. Hence it is difficult to find the actual economic situation in China. However, sometimes economic figures talk about the actual position of the country.

                                                      COVID-19 and locked down thereof have badly affected the economy of China. There is zero tolerance for COVID-19 in China and that compelled the authorities to impose total locking down in several cities and industrial towns. It badly affected the industrial activities and it has brought down the production. Hence China's GDP is 5.5% in the year 2023. Besides that American Trade War has also affected the exports of China up to a large extent.

                                                    It is also observed that the Chinese population has also gone down in the year 2023. It started falling in the year 2022. It is recorded that Millions died in COVID-19 in China and the shrinking of the birthrate further affected the Chinese Economy. The 1/5 Chinese population is old age and decreasing in population is a danger sign for China. Hence all this development will change the demography of the population.

                                               The unemployment rate among urban youth has also increased to 21% but now revised figures reflect it at 9%.  However, it is reported that the figure of unemployed youth also consists of those who are undergraduates which cannot be included in unemployment figures. The prices of food, fuel, and vehicles are also coming down in China. It can further affect adversely the GDP of the Country.

                               All these facts show that the Chinese economy is in decline.

Philanthropy And Donors

                                                   It is observed that rich people have become more conscious of helping to needy and downtrodden in the world. Therefore vast flow of funds is now flowing to NGOs that are working in different fields for needy people. Besides that, it is being donated without attaching too much string.

                                                   MacKenzie Scott a former wife of Jeff Bezos received a stake of $38 Billion in Amazon on her divorce from her rich tycoon Husband. She is very modest and without much publicity,  $18 Billion was donated to various NGOs without much string. It is a purpose that is important to her where money is being spent. Nowadays donors believe that NGOs know better how much money is to be spent and on which specific purpose.  They only obtain a few Data regarding those NGOs for their record purpose. This approach smoothens the process for donors and recipients.

                                                Gates Foundation is also giving large funds for various social purposes in developing and poor countries. They have given Billions of Dollars to eliminate various diseases. The eradication of polio is a glaring example of it.

                                                 Similarly, 'The William and Flora Hewett Foundation' which was floated by technocrats has also donated large funds to NGOs without much strings. Ford Foundation has put in 2 Billion Dollars for Institutions and Networks. Jack Dorsey the co-founder of Twitter and Square has donated 1.5 Billion Dollars. These are examples of how large funds are flowing for social purposes.

                                                 Mahatma Gandhi also gave the concept of 'Trusteeship'to  Rich Indian Tycoon. It means some part of their wealth is to be used for needy people through donations. That is how Indian tycoons like Birla and Bajaj have donated large amounts of funds for social purposes i.e. For the poor and needy. Nowadays Industrial Houses like Ambani, Infosys, and Adani have also created their foundations for social purposes. 

                                                In short, the feeling of giving something to needy and poor people is now developing on a large scale. That is one of the best developments for the welfare of the world.

Reason and Logic

                                                            Sometimes we observe some strange things regarding many things but understanding the same requires some research behind such matters.

                                                          The padlocks have some holes in the bottom.  It raises the curiosity of some people who are a little bit particular. Things like water when go in a padlock and can drain easily. Besides that, it can be used to pour oil so that it does not get jammed.

                                                        Sometimes the hole is found in the window of an aircraft. It is meant to breathe hold if there is a drop of pressure. It also helps to keep the cabin pressure at a safe and comfortable level. It also gives the crew the ability to  change the   pressure of the cabin,

                                                       The extra hole on the top of the sneaker helps to tie one shoe much tighter.

                                                       The long-neck bottle is used in trade and industry when a normal-neck bottle can be used.   The long-neck bottle can be easy to hold. Besides that, it also helps to distribute the heat throughout the entire bottle when it is held.  

                                                      There is a hole next to the Camera.  It is a microphone as there are three microphones in a Smartphone. The other two microphones are at the bottom edge and under the speaker grill respectively.

                                                      The brass door nobs are used as it is more resistant to bacteria. This is because door nobs are used by several people. Brass also helps to keep it germ-free.  

     In short, everything has logic and reasoning behind it. One has to try to understand the same.

                                                              China's leading newspaper Global Times which is considered to be spoke newspaper paper of the Chinese government also praised the Indian leadership for presenting its strategy actively and successfully. it also praised the economic and social progress of India despite the tension prevailing due to the Galwaan Valley Border dispute.

Krishna on  Values and Morality

                                                                 The rules about values and morality have become very irrelevant in the present day. It is observed that smart and crooked people are more successful and good people have to watch wrong doing silently and helplessly. Hence what Krishna said before five thousand years ago is still relevant.

                                                                 Bhismapitamamah had asked Krishna that all the big warriors on the Kaurava side in the war of Mahabharat were killed by the wrong means.  Was it correct? He further observed that it would set the wrong precedent for the coming generation.

                                                                Krishna answered his questions analytically and diplomatically.  We can learn from history but decision has to be taken according to the present situation.   Every Yug makes the decision to select a leader based on logic and reasoning. 

                                                                 Ram was a leader of Treta Yug and I am in Dwaper Yug.  Our way of handling things can not be the same as we have to face different situations.  

                                                                Vibhshan was a saint in the family of Ravan. Ravan was Villain but he was a devotee of Shiva. Agand was the perfect gentalman in the family of Wali who was a Villain.  The Villans had even knowledge of Dharma and Truth in Treta Yug. Therefore Ram never used the wrong means to destroy his enemies. 

                                                                In my time there were Kansh, Jarasan, Duryodhan,  Dushasan, Shakuni, and Jaydrath who were all wrongdoers and sinners. It was neccessary to use the wrong means to kill them. Any means they have to be eliminated in the interest of the people.

                                                               However, in the future and in Kalyug there will be a worse time to come. People will have to be more ruthless otherwise Dharma and Truth will be destroyed.  There is no use in observing morality and values when bad and immoral powers are cruelly attacking Dharma and Truth.  Future will have to learn that values and morality have no importance when one desires victory over Evil.

                                                                It is also foolishness to leave everything to God.  People have to do everything to destroy Evil while God only gives guidance.  I have not done anything in the war of Mahabharat.  It is Pandavas who did everything. This is a message of nature and it is absolute truth.

Foreign Investments -India

                                              The trade war is going on between China and America and it has indirectly helped India in respect of Manufacturing and in foreign investments. 

                                              There are so many industrially developing Asian Countries but why India is getting the advantage of the same? There are many reasons for natural advantage. India has the fastest developing economy with a fast emerging Market. Besides that, it has cheap lebour with plenty of high-tech young people.  It is also reported that India has more than 65% young population.  while the USA, Japan, and  China are suffering on account of the increased aging population. Even the Birth rate of those countries has also gone down. Indian government policies are also encouraging foreign investments. 

                                                It is also reported that 11000 foreign companies entered India between 2014 to 2021. Several foreign companies are affiliated with Indian companies that are doing good business in India. The prominent among them are Abbott India, Honeywell Automation, 3M India, ABB India, Maruti Suzuki India, Pfizer, BASF India, Nestle India, Hindustan Unilever, and Sanofi India. All those companies doing well and paying 10% to 30% return to their shareholders.  Besides that, Hyundai of South Korea, and Honda of Japan also entered India.  Apple has also started manufacturing of iPhone in India. Besides that, the Vesta of Denmark and Senvion of Germany are producing wind turbines in India. Tesla is also in the process of entering to manufacturing of Electric Cars in India.

                                               Google, Meta, and Black Rock have also invested Billions of Dollars in India through Reliance Industries Ltd. Amazon and Walmart have a good amount of stake in India.

                                                  This seems to be the beginning of foreign investment in India and will reach pick when the investment starts in Defence, Pharmaceutical, and Health Care. This is to show nobody can stop India from becoming one of the Superpowers in the world.
