When will the trend of rape stop in India?

 

Its been decades we got independence but there are many places where we still need independence. Corruption, rape, murder, and the count go on. Today I am going to throw some light on an incident happened recently in Uttar Pradesh.

Manisha Valmiki, a 19-year-old girl was brutally raped, tongue chopped, neck bone broken, and god knows how much more brutality by the rapists. After fighting for almost 15 days, the girl collapsed. As usual, the four rapists got arrested. And its shocking to know that the body of the girl was cremated immediate after death, that is too at midnight 2.45 AM. I would say that the Police too committed a crime by cremating in the midnight. According to Hindu culture, any body needs to be cremated in the sun light. Then why was it so urgent to perform the cremation at midnight. Moreover, the family members are also not satisfied by the act of Police. They are blaming that the body could have been handed over to them.

Why rapes happen in India?

First is the illiteracy and second is the lack of education. Many people could not either prefer sending their children to schools or are not capable to educate their children. When the children grow up, they tend to go in wrong direction. An underaged also can be seen getting involved in criminal activities.

Second is the lack of education. Sex education is what I think is one of the most important topics to be included in our courses. Upon including the topic, the children from the childhood age would be made to understand what is wrong in raping a girl.

Third is the power which has been the most unusual way to rape any girl. Starting from a 6-month child to a 90-year-old woman, every age group ladies are being raped in India. The government, the opposition, the administration despite of knowing that rape is an offensive crime, why there have not been any strict law for that. That is because in India many people who are sitting at higher position too commit the shameful act of rape.

Why is Police taking the things at their level?

There must be some political connections with the rapists because of which such immediate actions on the cremation of the girl took place. This way it shows how corrupt the police and administration. I am not sure who all were involved in the incident starting from the girl’s death to the cremation but what the overview says is the Police is wrong in doing the cremation.

Strong Law must be introduced against rape

We have seen the governments introducing multiple laws and those are getting passed in both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. But every now and then we have been seeing rapes are increasing day after day. Why cannot the government at least introduce “Hang the rapists” law. Or are there any political interests in the matter? The reason I think is the involvement of certain political powers who are involved in rapes. They do not even think for a moment that being in such a higher position how could they commit such a shameful act. And the political parties head take advantage of them in the election. So, they do not even bother to introduce a law like that.

Our country demands a strong law against rapes, murder. Instead of just arresting and convicting the accused, he must be given a strong punishment so that not only the accused but also the one who were about to commit any rapes in future would think thousand times to rape any girl.

My View - We the people of India demands strong law against rape. Every rapists must be hanged to death. Sincere request to the government and administration to introduce a law what people are demanding. This is very much needed. 

Kangana Ranaut Vs Rhea Chakraborty – Who is right?

  

From past couple of days, we have been witnessing the news of Rhea Chakraborty and Kangana Ranaut. It is hard to understand who is right and who is wrong. But on a detailed note I some how tried to pull out the consequences and conclude things. Let us talk on both separately.

Rhea Chakraborty

How she came into picture?

It was Sushant Singh Rajput whose death was suspected as murder and subsequently Rhea being his girl friend was considered as accused and the trials went on. First and foremost, when any death happens, and the concerned department then given to handle the case. Why the media played a role in giving the verdict. I hope many of us would have heard Rhea to be the accused. Who are the media in creating such a story?

After many investigations, nothing was found that could prove Sushant Singh Rajput was murdered. And finally, the case took another way which move towards drug peddling. When the Enforcement Directorate, Narcotics Bureau Control are been given the case to handle, they should be given free and fair hands to take the investigations properly. But here as well media started playing.

Kangana Ranaut

She was the first one to raise voice against the nepotism in Bollywood. She was hard on her voice on Sushant Singh Rajput to get justice. And till date the is the same. But why suddenly there were lot of enemies of her. Just because she told Mumbai as PoK. And the Shivsena who is ruling in Maharashtra took on her by vandalizing her office.

If we look at buildings in Mumbai, there are many which are illegal and have not followed the guidelines of Brihanmumbai Muncipal Corporation (BMC). But why only Kangana is targeted and no one else. And that is too at this point of time when Kangana told against Shivsena and Mumbai. This looks purely a film of revenge and nothing else.

I believe that if Shivsena is so prompt at their work, they should apply their guidelines with every part of Maharashtra and not a single person to be targeted.

Why Kangana Ranaut is given Y+ security?

Another big debate going on is why is Kangana given Y+ security? Y+ security is given to some very important persons like Chief Justice of Supreme Court. And more likely Kangana is the only Bollywood personality to get such a high-level security. I believe that she could have taken her own approach in getting security. She is just a common citizen of India and must be kept apart from such security.

My View – Whoever is the person and whatever is the reason, everyone must follow their job roles in a précised manner and must do their best in that. Unnecessary debates and discussions in the national level is not going to solve the issues at any stage. If for a moment we look at the threats, murders and deaths happening in the country, there could be a lot of civilians. Why the media or the government not helping them in any aspect? Why are they focused on unnecessary issues? The media, government and also the common man should focus on nation building rather than getting involved in pointless issues.

Data Credit - The above data furnished is from a video by Rebel Shraddhanand Pati

Main objective of pulling out these details is why the government is not supportive in government led companies and why it is heading towards privatization of government organizations?

The main reason behind this move is negligence of government employees which eventually making the government companies lose its business in long run. No doubt the government employee’s negligence in their work is a very old story but then too the government organizations were getting established and growing.

Let us think for a moment that the employees are high at their negligence in their work. Why cannot the government take necessary steps and actions on their behalf to overcome the situations and make them work proactively. After all the employees are directly contributing to the production of the country which ultimately is contributing in the country’s economy and the GDP basically.

When the government can introduce motor vehicle act and charging heavy fines on civilians, why cannot there be a strong law which could make the government employees work full fledged for the company’s growth.

My View – When the government will be strong, so will be the people working under the government. If there will be negligence on the government part, the same will be seen in the entire tree and its branches under the heads. Strong implementation of rules and regulations would bring positive results. I believe that the government should stop privatization of government companies and should work on making them more productive.

Is India’s GDP better than USA, Canada? A big NO

After the government data release of the GDP in second quarter of the financial year 2020-2021, there were many myths in representing the data. Many places I got to see that India’s GDP is at the worst among all other countries of G20. Whereas certain representations also stated that the loss of USA, Canada and some other countries are way bad than that of India. But what is the truth? Let us throw come light on the same.

Actual figures of GDP comparison of the G20 countries

Many people came out with a graph showing that the GDP of India is way better than that of USA, Canada. But the face is that the comparison that is represented is wrong. The data showed USA GDP at -33%, Singapore at -42.9%, Canada at -38.7%. But the actual figure is below

The above figure is a screenshot from the twitter handle of Gita Gopinath, the chief economist of International Monetary Fund.

The ruling party explanations – The finance minister in one of the press conferences stated that such a downfall of GDP is Act of God. This statement seems to be good explanatory but in real this statement seems to be pure baseless.

Let us assume for a moment that the GDP loss is because of the pandemic. However, if we compare the graph of previous quarters, there was a subsequent decline. Look below

Some of the main reasons of the above decline

·         Demonetization – In an overall perspective GDP of any country depends on the demand that come from people. And when there will be no demand, the GDP would go low consequently. At the time of demonetization, people had to face a lot of problem to spend cash in the market which eventually had a very bad impact in the market.

·         GST - We all know that GST is one of the best moves in India. But does this have any significant impact on the country’s GDP? Implementation of GST had a direct impact on the price of products and business. Which ultimately had a very bad impact in the market, where people spent less because they would have to save money for future at any cost rather than spending on not very necessary products. And more over GST is not standard across all sectors. For food industry the GST is something, for Motor industry the GST is something. There is no uniformity.

·         Inflation – Usually it happens that when there is less demand, the price of essentials would go down. But the case has become entirely opposite in Indian market. Prices are touching the sky at most of the sectors in the market. Most essentially the vegetables which had a very high demand in the entire market stays at the peak when it comes to pricing.

A report from world bank says that more than 12 million Indians would be pushed under poverty due to this crisis.

Comparison of GDP of India and UK

Because of the above wrong steps taken by the government, the GDP is -23.90%. Above India the country which has next major loss is United Kingdom. There too the wrong step of Brexit in 2019 held their economy face such a huge loss.

My View – The government must take necessary steps to overcome the situation and stop giving explanations. They should work on real causes to retain and regain the lost GDP, to make it positive. They should focus on how to make people spend to regain the market stats. Before any implementation in the country, expert advice must be taken to withstand losses. Single handedly taking any decisions could lead to nowhere but losses.

2020-2021 की पहली तिमाही में भारत की जीडीपी विकास दर -23.9% है

भारत ने दुनिया के विकासशील देशों में से एक करार दिया। लेकिन Covid 19 की वजह से अपनी अर्थव्यवस्था में भारी नुकसान का सामना करना पड़ा है। राष्ट्रीय सांख्यिकी कार्यालय (एनएसओ) ने पहली तिमाही 2020 के लिए डेटा जारी किया जो अप्रैल 2020 से जून 2020 तक है।

डेटा कहता है कि जीडीपी विकास दर -23.90% है। वैसे हममें से कुछ लोगों को प्रतिशत में समझने में थोड़ी उलझन होगी। एक संख्यात्मक आंकड़ा अधिक स्पष्टता फेंक सकता है। पिछले 3 महीनों में भारत को लगभग 8 लाख करोड़ का नुकसान हुआ है। जब पिछले वर्ष के आंकड़ों के साथ तुलना की जाती है, तो अप्रैल 2019-जून 2019 में जीडीपी 3,35,000 करोड़ थी, जबकि अप्रैल 2020-जून 2020 में यह 26,89,000 करोड़ है। पिछले 40 वर्षों में यह पहली बार है, जहां भारत ने देखा है एक नकारात्मक जीडीपी आंकड़ा।

अब हम समझते हैं कि जीडीपी वास्तव में क्या है? 

जीडीपी एक देश में वार्षिक उत्पादन मूल्य के अलावा और कुछ नहीं है। इसमें सभी क्षेत्रों का क्या योगदान है? विनिर्माण, खनन, रियल एस्टेट और कृषि। प्रतिशत की हानि या लाभ नीचे है:

 
विनिर्माण क्षेत्र -39.30%
खनन क्षेत्र -41.30%
रियल एस्टेट -50%
कृषि 3.4% 

उपरोक्त चार क्षेत्रों में से, कृषि एकमात्र ऐसा क्षेत्र है जिसने एक सकारात्मक रुझान दिखाया है। बाकी सभी सेक्टर नकारात्मक हैं।

किसी भी देश में जीडीपी में योगदान संगठित और असंगठित दोनों क्षेत्रों से आता है। भारत भी इसी दृष्टिकोण का अनुसरण करता है। बल्कि अधिकांश योगदान असंगठित क्षेत्र से आता है।

अब संगठित और असंगठित क्षेत्र क्या हैं। संगठित क्षेत्र एक ऐसा क्षेत्र है जहाँ रोजगार की शर्तें नियत और नियमित होती हैं, और कर्मचारियों को सुनिश्चित काम मिलता है। असंगठित क्षेत्र वह है जहां रोजगार की शर्तें तय नहीं हैं और नियमित, साथ ही साथ उद्यम, सरकार के साथ पंजीकृत नहीं हैं। भारत में लगभग 90% जीडीपी असंगठित क्षेत्र से आती है।

जीडीपी दर के संदर्भ में देशवार तुलना    

 

Covid महामारी के कारण, इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं है कि चीन को छोड़कर हर देश ने नकारात्मक जीडीपी विकास दर देखी है। लेकिन साथ ही भारत आर्थिक नुकसान का सामना करने के लिए शीर्ष पर है। 

श्री रघुराम राजन (आरबीआई के पूर्व गवर्नर) सहित कई विशेषज्ञों और अर्थशास्त्रियों ने कहा कि लॉकडाउन के साथ, सरकार को भी अर्थव्यवस्था की स्थिरता पर विचार करना चाहिए लेकिन फिर सरकार ने कहा कि लोगों का जीवन उनके लिए मायने रखता है। जब जीवन होगा, भविष्य में विकास होगा।

इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं है कि यह कथन बहुत बड़ा अर्थ रखता है। लेकिन अगर हम ऊपर दिखाए गए चित्र को देखें तो क्या होगा? कई विशेषज्ञों और अर्थशास्त्रियों के अनुसार, वित्त वर्ष 2020-2021 के दौरान विकास दर नकारात्मक बनी रहेगी। वे कहते हैं कि भारत को 0 तक पहुंचने के लिए बहुत संघर्ष करना चाहिए, सकारात्मक विकास अब एक बुरा सपना बन गया है।

वित्त मंत्री श्रीमती निर्मला सीतारमण ने कहा कि यह ईश्वर का कार्य है। विपक्ष ने कहा कि यह सत्तारूढ़ सरकार की खामियां हैं, जिससे स्थिति इस स्थिति में आ गई है।

मेरा विचार - वैसे मैं इस क्षेत्र में एक अर्थशास्त्री या विशेषज्ञ नहीं हूं, लेकिन एक आम जनता के रूप में मेरे सुझाव इस बात पर ध्यान केंद्रित करने के लिए होंगे कि अन्य देश क्या कर रहे हैं और घाटे को कम करने और विकास हासिल करने के लिए अपनी रणनीतियों का पालन करें।
