India will benefit from China’s decline .

China’s current economic crisis  has  worried the world.  Since 1990, China had climbed the economic ladder like a miracle. China is now the second biggest economy after the USA .  The white men of the world always  criticized the “ yellow race”. But the rise of China has  frightened them .India is China’s  closest neighbor and India has had a  very bad relationship since 1958 with China. The rise of China has intimidated India.   Every comparison of India with China has  been un-flattering .
China has a civilization of 5000 years  old like India.  If India discovered the “Zero”   in mathematics and was advanced in astronomy , China invented the  wheel and  many other things thousands of years ago .The wheel changed mankind.  Imagine the  5000 mile Great Wall of China which was started 2000 years ago.  It is an architectural marvel. In India, today, we are struggling to build a good fence around India’s borders . The Chinese built the Great wall  in areas like our Himalayas .   China calls itself  the “ Middle  Kingdom “, meaning that it is the center of the world.

Greece has Dared to Fail by Pullarao Pentapati

Pullarao Pentapati – Greece is perhaps the oldest and greatest civilization of man. The Chinese and Indian civilizations and some South American civilizations have also been very old. But Greece has been a continuous trend-setter of humanity. Greece is part of the 19 European nations union. They have a common visa and a common currency. It is no longer a Greek crisis since the deadline has past. Along with Portugal, France and Italy, Greece forms part of the Mediterranean nations. They have no oil or major minerals and now all suffer from economic problems. These countries are unable to avoid a large State benefits programs and a big state-employment sector and pension and socials services. These 4 nations are now undergoing serious recession and there is no visible light at the end of the tunnel.

PTI-UNI report. Appeal by eminent personalities to Govt.of India to apply new Land law of 2013 to Polavaram dam displaced.

Eminent writers and personalities today urged the BJP-led NDA government at the centre and the Andhra Pradesh government to provide relief and rehabilitation to one lakh displaced people following the construction of Polavaram dam acoss River Godavari in the first phase. Press Council of India member K Amarnath, economist and senior journalist Dr Pentapati Pulla Rao, Centre for Media Studies, Delhi Chairman Dr N Bhasker Rao and Supreme Court Advocate Shravan Kumar, in a statement here, asserted that the governments had to apply the latest land law of 2013 to Polavaram Dam affected people. Polavaram dam, a Union Government project, located in residuary Andhra Pradesh, is now under the jurisdiction of the central Ministry of Water Resources.

A total of four lakh people, according to the statement, will be displaced by the time the Polavaram Dam is completed, constituting the largest displacement of people in India for any single Project. Thus far, the government has been fixing Relief and Rehabiliation under the terms of the 1894 Land Acquisition Act, which has now been replaced by the Land Acquisition Act of 2013. 'We appeal that the Union government apply its latest land laws to the entire process of land acquisition and displacement to Polavaram dam.The displaced and a project affected people have been agitating peacefully only for their due compensation,'' they said. The eminent writers also said the new Land Acquisition law clearly states under section 24(2) that the entire Land acquisition process has to be made anew, if people are still living on their land and properties.

Prime Minister Modi's visit to Indian Ocean countries

It is welcome that the Indian Prime Minister is visiting countries in the Indian Ocean who are extremely close, both geographically and ethnically to India. Aside from centuries-old relationships with such countries in the Indian Ocean, a significant number of Indians went over there and settled there. There is a huge Indian Diaspora in these countries. Such a population composition makes for both good and sometimes tricky relations.

Nitesh Kumar Trapped in His Own Drama

While India is fixated on   Kejriwal, there is a much more serious political drama going on in Bihar. While BJP lost Delhi, Bihar will have new political equations favorable to   BJP.  The was the  Bihar fight erupted between  Ex- Chief Minister   Nitesh  Kumar and  present Chief Minister  Jitan Ram Manjhi  has become a  comedy and  Nitesh Kumar looks like the comedian  . Delhi is a small state with 7 MPs and Bihar has 40 MPs.  What happens in Bihar is closely watched by Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bengal, Odisha and Chhattisgarh.  Nitesh Kumar is facing a very embarrassing situation as one of his followers has rebelled. “A man in my position cannot afford to look ridiculous “said a famous Hollywood film producer in the greatest film “The Godfather. Nitesh Kumar looks ridiculous now. In May, 2014, after   Nitesh Kumar’s party lost the Parliament elections, he resigned from post of Chief Minister, saying   he was morally responsible. The country applauded him for his principled stance. Instead of appointing a senior and powerful minister as Chief Minister, Nitesh Kumar appointed a docile Dalit leader Jitan Ram Manjhi as Chief Minister.

BJP Made Too Many Mistakes in Delhi Elections

Strangely, it does not matter who rules the capital of USA, England, Russia or France. Can anyone remember the name of the Mayor of Bombay?  Though Delhi is smaller than most cities, the election in Delhi has become extremely important for politicians. The media gives more importance to Delhi than all the states combined.
The Congress controlled Delhi for 15 years.  In 2013,    AAP of Kejriwal defeated the Congress decisively and took away all its vote banks.  In 2013, BJP won 31 MLAs out of 70.   Kejriwal ( AAP) won 28 and  Congress  got  only  8 MLAs, with the  15 years  Chief Minister  Sheila  Dikshit   losing  her own seat. Congress   has not recovered from this shock.
