Protectionism in world economy

After failure of Doha round, it's become a nagging question in my mind, whether agreements of that degree, in a sensitive matter like trade and economy, are anyway possible! It seems so because even economically excelled nations like US are backing their regional farm subsidies to higher extent, the nations who never pant while speaking about poverty elimination and developing specially third world countries and supporting developing nations. They ask for tariff cuts for developing nations and be obstinate on reducing their internal subsidies! Thus it seems that ever prevailing protectionism in world economy, will not go effortlessly, only by calling for international goodwill. For our younger readers let me quote what is protectionism from an online source,

Quote:

The policy of imposing duties or quotas on imports in order to protect home industries from overseas competition.

In the language of economics, it is a form of economic policy for a system. By definition, we can frame its potential hazard for world's integration and mankind, so I thought I must write something about it. Now how would it be eliminated? Can mere principles are enough to overcome this natural menace? Not at all, we need to be collective in our approach. The major onus weighs on developed nations' shoulders. They will have to show maturity and shed their age old perception of being judge in multilateral rounds of talks. They will now have to swallow the fact that anyone can't survive on its own, in this gregarious nature. Developing nations will now have to invest more efficiently in infrastructural plans, so that their farmers and other industrialists are not merely subsistence. Third world will have to throw away the tendency of waiting for international aids and will have to move social reforms, making sure their leaders are honest and assiduous. Eventually when Doha round is failed, as we all know, the bout of bilateral and regional agreements will arrive, hope the cooperation may go to higher degrees successfully.

Civil Movement

The terror is striking, cowards are hitting us from back, many Indian muslims are taken hypnotised by them, they are being radicalised for killing mankind. Most of us are now blaming governments; security agencies and intelligence but the reality is, now if we want to battle this long battle then we are to convince our muslim brothers and sisters from within our boundaries. Islamic leaders of our country should call for piece within their religion else they are also equally taking part in disgracing their own religion. Now a civil movement, like Sufi movement in history will have to be initiated by spiritual gurus of Muslim society, so that they might try saving not only their religion but also ensure the world peace. Many Hindu leaders tried to convince muslims but they are not receptive to "others", for them only muslims are human, rest are devils, so please my good humans show some humanity now. Kindly not to raise the potential over our heads to compel us showing our devil traits, be human, this time you did cross all limits, blasted civil hospital's trauma centre? What kind of religion you are having, read your books back again, may be you missed on something! If you don't think so then rewrite those books with goodness in mind. All deserve to have their own thoughts, philosophies, principles, customs, traditions, lifestyles; why you want to destroy this beautiful garden of variety within the pleasant weather of unity? Let us all try again to mainten that unity forever. Remember, anyone can't tolerate more than this, stop it, and to all muslim leaders, initiate that civil movement which shows muslims the path of peace and prosperity; tell them to live for others not in place of others. Jai Hind!

Call of Duty

7 Bombs serially blasted in Bangalore yesterday and today 16 in Ahmedabad; many were diffused by security agencies, in one incident, a timer bomb set for 12 was diffused by a brave soldier on 11:45, an Email is received by a news channel, sent by "Indian Mujahideen", now when there is any statement against muslim community in India, big muslim movie artists, leaders come immediately on ramp to condemn those remarks, now why are they not coming in open to rectify their own community? Why Indian muslims are not swearing to fight for their motherland "India"? How can it possible that an enemy of a son's mother getting shelter in his own house, eventually killing her? Is there any shame left in those so called "Indian" mujahideens? This frame shows a clear image that what VHP, Bajarang Dal, ShivSena do is all correct and we should favour them as much as possible, else our survival will be in danger because of this barbaric race. Only poison can kill poison, swear on your mother, whenever you find anyone speaking a single word against our country, we will rip his head apart from the torso, this is the fight that is to be faught with bigot muslims, and we will have to be united to answer them in the toughest words, that is "The Call of Duty."

Trust the message!

22nd of July might be assigned as a special day in Indian parliamentary democracy, many might assigning this as a black or white day, whatever but one thing this trust vote showed us all very clearly is that money can always be trusted as afterall we need good goods either on patriotic or social values. The Samaajvadi party has shown how base they can go for defining their personal interests and privet rivalry as equally as BSP who could play the similar ball game but even in a better and with a deft touch. Many speculations can be carried out through this entire exercise yet the one giving whole country jolts is the possibility of money sport's play. If this is even not true or fabrcated, the degree upon which things stood, could indicate any conscious brain the direction of a great mismatch in doings and sayings of our honourable parliamentarians. The decision taken by BJP, BJD, Akali Dal, TDP etc. is rightly justified, the same thing can not be pasted for Communist Party of India Marxist (CPI'M'). I may be sounding emotional but do strongly believe, the 40 years of industrious service could easily be a bail tocken for a good parlimentarian and present Lok Sabha speaker Somnath Chatterjee. Though he was alomost on the verge of his lengthy and honest political career, especially after his consistuency being declared reserved for SC/ST candidates yet it'd be a glitter on his chest if only he had some sensible comrads back in his old home's camp. Now Mayavati is also begun to be considered the future prime minister of India, enlengthening the long list of already declared aspirants, shwoing light to the dark side of castism and politics of opportunism. Various gemstones she got from North to South or East to West are really looking promising superficially at this stage but I'd pray national party like BJP should get that benefit with kind thinking of Indian voters. It is my first vote as being over 18, I always used to wonder I'd most certainly vote BJP and that's only because of RSS, now am pondering over abstention, as I do not honour Indian Constitution, I know if I say it publically, I would be prosecuted with anti national deed's charge, yet I'd say I love my mother the most but not that book which provokes differentiation and discremination rather than uniform civil code, integration and equality. All together, by coming back to the trust vote session, I express my deepest of concerns for our leaders' ill thinking and shall try to convince the present responsible society to "trust the message."

Mind games!

Iraq was attacked, because they were threat to entire world community; specially non muslims, they tamed chemical weapons, Afganistan was Taliban's territory, so it was bound to be warred. All world is made well convinced about these all "facts", from Mumbai to Shanghai; from England to Finland; everyone is well known and convinced with these "Truths". Guess what! it is all the magic of our great western media, who has always been far ahead in conveying their native countries' favouring arguments tremenduously, as they are omnipresent and the most united press on the earth. In such a short time span, Iraq, who was well used againsed Iran by America, became deamon. China is good for trade but bad for humanrights, we need trade more, so why to show up and waste their precious time over such communists' single party regime? Rather than it's far better to held programmes, such as "China Bussiness Week", why to show the plight of real "Weaks" there? If it is cornering America and western countries' interests, then why not to devote hours of national geographic channel's display on great american death weaponary! It'll be an eminent medium to capture and horrify "others'" imaginations. How to declare Russians the enemy of mankind? You can learn from BBC. CNN is better for war time onesided debates and spreading of their views through CNN Arabic, why they didn't think of CNN Chinese? They will be hoping to open one Chinese stall soon but it's important to tackle Muslim youths' anti American thinking before, as they are proving to be far dangerous than the others. And then Chinese are always there to assist the trade, can be seen later on. Indian's know English well, so why not CNN IBN! Oops, but there should be some mental missile on those Hindi speakers too, specially Indian Muslims, okay then, here comes IBN7, who always covers each and every strategic seminar and press conferences in America and shows us all the time. Even when 10 of our soldiers, who were heading for vacations, unarmed, under a ceasefire agreement, got martyred by a bomb attack of kashmeeree militants, Obama's speech over climate change and how India and China are responsible for this was a greater issue. Well, fair enough, if our own government is not worrying then what the hack they should portray for busy Indians? Alright, I should show some gratutude towards their intelligence and experience, let me also touch some climate calamity! Now someone please tell them about per capita statistics and their past records, may be after that they should feel the shame and try understanding our troubles as well. Now what will you say? Isn't it a great mind game, the best utilization of old colonial powers and their new avatar America? I like mind games if only they are faught on principles and not on sly tricks. A free and responsible media is always wanted!

The Voice of Mankind!

The world specially America who didn't miss even on a second to declare "Kosovo" a separate country, gave a paralyzed reaction of whatever happened in Tibbet. China says it's its "Internal" matter, and Indian government agree to all this? India has been leader for knowledge transferring to china for years by, the Buddhist culture, traditions; our ancestral kings won chinese land and awarded it to the servants of Buddha, for what? For this all which is happening now? What does China {Cheen} thinks? They will occupy any land and then claim it's their internal issue? If they are saying Tibbetians started all violence and then even over powered the massive number of Chinese security forces and attacked them extremely, then why they are not showing these things to world community? Why they did the most severe attack on humanity by Media Blackouts? What is the UN and all countries boasting of Human Rights doing? Do they have no care for those mother's sons fighting for their motherland? Is this the way this selfish world reacts to apparent human rights' violations by some economic, strategic and military power? Are our principles fall dwarf to the selfishness? It's the time when we all write the truth about the fabric of our nature, that whether it is sewed with the threads of cowardice or with the glorious silk of bravery to support the truth and justice. It is enough to indicate about Cheenee {Chinese} fault that they have always been indulged in fights over land. They all time tried to occupy lands all around world. Hong Kong, Tibbet, now eying Arunanchal and other similar issues too are existed in their account all the time. People within the nation are shown what the government want them to show and this mute world seeing everything? I am not at all in support of disintegrating lands and create countries on the name of race, language or any discrimination but when I see Chinese brutal policy where a handful are running things by muscle power for their own narrow notions then I think it'd be far nicer if we can provide a few Tibbetians liberation from the bloody claws of Chinese communism. Help Tibbet, Raise the voice of truth and show the courage to the world that we hail for the Mankind.

Counterpunch to China

Currently China, violating an agreement about not destabilising settled populations in disputed areas, lays claim repeatedly to Arunachal Pradesh. Indian reactions are pitifully pathetic. To respond gainfully to China, what is required is a counterpunch. India should simply state that it no longer recognises Tibet as part of China, since Tibet is Tibetan territory and the Tibetan people must decide its future. There is no legal impediment against India doing this. The 1954 Agreement between India and China, whereby India recognised Tibet as part of China, lapsed after eight years and was never renewed.

India’s hope of a reasonable settlement between China and the Tibetan people has been shattered by China’s rebuff to Dalai Lama’s somewhat over-generous offer of accepting autonomy for Tibet under Chinese sovereignty. China instead is busy changing the demography of Tibet by populating the region with Han Chinese to marginalise Tibet’s own sons of the soil. As former government counsel and author J.P. Mitter in his Betrayal of Tibet (1964) wrote: "No policy that allows the Chinese to be paramount in this once acknowledged buffer country will ever be in the interest of India."

The International Commission of Jurists in Geneva after detailed research had concluded that Tibet, historically and legally, was an independent nation until it was forcibly occupied by China. The government could encourage any prominent NGO, perhaps even George Fernandes, to interact with radical young Tibetans in Dharamshala to set up a joint committee for delineating the Indo-Tibetan border. India has a border with Tibet, none with China. Once that border is delineated it could be forwarded to the International Commission of Jurists for approval.

On the eve of the Beijing Olympics, China is very touchy about Tibet. India should exploit that. On March 10, a radical young Tibetan, Tenzin Tsundue, is leading a peaceful march from Dharamshala to Tibet to coincide with the opening of the Olympics. This is his way of lodging a Gandhian, democratic protest. Official agencies should extend him quiet help. Media should ensure maximum international coverage. The protest can undoubtedly gather momentum.

There is also much that can be said with regard to Xingjian and Taiwan. But let’s start with Tibet.
