First we sell ourselves to the Barrack States of America by signing the nuke deal and 'buying' F-16 (We need F-16s to fight Pakistan but we sit on our asses when China breaches the LOC) from them. Now we are at their mercy as far as the functioning of these planes go. So indirectly, BSA controls our defense system.
Second we decide to go with the FDI plan with giants like Walmart placing their huge feet on our heads (sorta like Bali Stepping on Vaamanar's head [Dasavatharam reference - not the movie] - yes the reversification was intended). They claim that the farmers are going to benefit from this plan but what the real deal is, is far from claims. Companies like Walmart start supermarkets all over the country and what do you know, they offer the goods at the same prices that your local general merchant offers at. Now as a layman, which one would you prefer? Risk darkening your skin (Garnier - Take Care !!!!) going to the local fellow or stand in the AC with a trolley and hands-on-your-hips attitude? (Answer truthfully - Be a Man !)...? You ask how Walmarts can afford this? Well they purposely take a loss (All you MBAs out there... this is the mother of all strategies) so that they can slit the throats of the local merchants and run them out of business. Now once that is done, and the merchants run out of liquidity, capital and even their underwear, the Walmarts will shoot up their prices and effect a monopoly. And we are forced to shell out the hard earned money to sharks like walmart.
No introduction is needed to the whole IPL scam. I am not against betting, but its 'tweaking' the outcome of a game to benefit from the betting is what is wrong. Am sure a lot of people know this. But the sad part is, Sreesanth, Chauhan, Chandila and Gurunath were just the krill - so far down the food chain - while the blue whales are still continuing to do what they do best - screw the game for their benefit. And so much of rut goes on in the game - right from senior most players being solicited by actresses so that they are pulled into the 'tweaking', down to leading politicians pimping out to mob bosses - that a true follower of the game would just consider the game dead and hope it RIP. And through all this, what does our judiciary do, sit back, grant bails to bookies and watch the proceedings. (But kudos to the cops for actually bringing this out in the first place). And needless to say, I am sure people would be more than happy to fight for tickets in the stadium stands the next time IPL or any such hi-fi game is played.
Coming to the Ramar Paalam (Rama's bridge) that is shown to connect Tamil Nadu to Srilanka. Some activists are hell bent upon breaking it down citing eelam and other issues. And fact is that BSA seems to be supporting it hardcore. Now two things I want to ask BSA :
1. Why are you interfering in matters thats got nothing to do with you. (As my dear racist aussies would say) Sod off Mate !.
2. Some of us know the true reason behind you supporting the bringing down of the bridge. There are tons and tons of Nuclear Fuel (Uranium..???) deposits that have formed on the bridge (underwater) over the years. Now if the people come to know about it, India would show you the finger and implement Nuclear power and hence become a superpower (read - pain in the ass to BSA) - which you would very much like to avoid considering you have enough vodka drinking friends to be afraid of.
But.... thanks to our darling politicians, the people are kept away from such information through diversions like FDI, inflation, sex scandals etc.
In most countries, the judiciary is the supreme power of the country and politics is only a part of the system. But as far as India is concerned, judiciary is just a toy in the hands of powerful politicians and businessmen. That is the reason our GDP is uncontrollable and our country's economy continues to deteriorate on a daily basis. If only our judiciary were to break free from the clutches, this would be a far superior country than any other.
As always we are god fearing people and will leave everything we dont (care to) understand to an unseen force... So... GOD save this country !!!
Peace !
