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.

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.
