It was a race of one round. Did India start late or are we about to win?

It was called a prosperity regime and was thought to be the best one in the world: Western Capitalism.

Whichever nation adopted it, showed unrelentingly high economic growth trajectory. Last century not only saw world wars but also the war between the forms of governance. Industrial revolution made us to think of a good system which would lead to a sustained growth in future. Among the competitors were Socialism or Capitalism,Democracy or Communism. Post world war II saw upcoming of Socialists with Soviet Union leading the Socialist flag. But with the demise of Soviet Union socialist era ended all of a sudden. From that time onwards it was capitalism pronounced by the western world which was thought to be the most compatible system with economic growth and undoubtedly yes, Capitalism made the world economies to grow faster and faster. More and more goods and services were produced into this era and were serviced to the mankind.Capitalism was growing and spreading into the different corners of the world and capitalist nations became richer and more powerful day by day.

While all these developments were making the nations to be called as developed world Indian leaders were living into a hypothetically ideal world made up of Marxist ideologies. They failed to realize that they have lost industrial revolution by 50 years which meant being backward for long period ahead. So, instead of opting for a growth oriented capitalist structure they went for a socialistic approach. India got freedom after 200 years of colonial rule,may be that the fear of past did not allow them to go for a open path and rather opt act in a protectionist way. After losing everything we switched finally from Socialist to Capitalist economy. Results soon started pouring in as Capitalism started doing the same as it was doing to other nations for last one century. Growth was tremendous and soon it was confirm that CAPITALISM was the best for humanity to grow.

India was growing at furious pace.It seemed that after a wait of so many years we finally have got the right path and such a pace of growth will make India a superpower very soon. But as and when things started looking bright soon came a economic disaster which took away with it all the confidence and faith people had in Capitalism. Collapse of market worldwide,closing of big banks,interest rates lowest than ever,deflation due to plummeting demand,many economies getting into recession.Whole world is gripped into the problems which we owe it to capitalism. When the big banks faulted it was the government which came to rescue and took control of these big organizations. It seems world again is looking most socialist today. Private control is automatically going into the hands of government. Bankruptcy of Lehman Brother has same significance for capitalism as fall of Soviet Union had for Socialism in 1989. Both up to some extend signifies end of an era.Suddenly when capitalism was looking best for India now socialism is being said to be a better option. Does that mean that in time to come we will again have to follow the world and will again have to become socialist???

India has a better option. We can use this opportunity to show the world that capitalism has not failed rather given us a chance to strengthen ourselves. World is slowly starting to disbelief Capitalist idea of free economy. They are forgetting that it is this capitalism that has brought prosperity to humanity faster than any other thing on this earth.World has experimented and knows it best that socialist can never be a good option for us. Capitalism will be restored once this economic crisis gets over. Developed world will be heavily effected by this whereas developing nations would have some insulation and this would give chance to the developing countries to shed the gap between them and developed once.Lets see if India is able to make it this time round.

I BELIEVE CAPITALISM WOULD NOT CHANGE BUT RESTRUCTURE ITSELF.

I may not be Gandhi but some part exists…

The anger of Indians against Pakistan is more than visible everywhere in India now. We want end of PAKISTAN SPONSORED TERRORISM NOW.

I am a free thinker. I won’t comprehend the story until I get to listen to both the parties. This is why in past few days I have tried to get the views of Pakistani people about the current boiling issues between India and Pakistan. My thought is to find a long term solution of the problem and to do this understanding the mindset of the people is most important. I don’t believe completely in two sources of news when solving these types of problems. First is News Media itself and the other source is Politicians.

When you have an emotional attachment or detachment with someone you want him to be happy or miserable accordingly. This is what the media knows best and exploits it to the greatest extent in order to escalate its TRP. They have generated a view into our minds about Pakistan and now using our emotional detachment to make profits. We have now started to love Pakistan’s misery and started to believe that anti-Indian stand of Pakistan can be broken through only one mean and that is war..NOW JUST THINK FOR A MOMENT... We are into the same hysteria which Pakistani people have gone through in last 60 years and made many of them, firstly just the anti-Indian and then the terrorist. Few small groups of people changed the minds of people in Pakistan like this and now media is making us a war loving people. This thought of mine would offend many patriotic Indians as I am being pro-Pakistani but it is up to them to think that are they more patriotic for their own country or are they more anti-patriotic a FOR Pakistan. I am putting this view after taking the thoughts of people of Pakistan and after analyzing them I found exactly same thing is fed into their minds as in ours. One Pakistani man said that in Pakistan all the bomb blasts that happened are said to be conducted by Indian agencies. Off course that’s wrong and the reality is other way round but sometimes a small dozes of so called anti-Pakistanism every now and then has made us to think that the war is the only viable solution. War is not the solution, its an open invitation to more problems. Never think that India would carpet bomb Pakistan and kill the entire terrorist in few days and win the war against terrorism. It would require a hell lot more resources both human and capital and lot of time. It would lead to more loss of life and money which we have lost due to terrorist activities till now and if we fight a incomplete war then its even more waste of money and life because destroying few camps would suppress terrorist for few days but then again new camps will come up. But fighting a complete war won’t be possible because it will come at the cost of all the developments which we have had in recent times. Take example of US. It fought war against Iraq and are still fighting. Same is happening in Afghanistan too. US, most advanced country in warfare, need help of Pakistan to fight a war against a country that does not know anything about modern age technological war. Now just think how much will it take India to fight a war against Pakistan who has modern war weapons, it doesn’t matter how they acquired those weapons and then they have mother of all weapons NUCLEAR WARFARES. It is also sure if nuclear war does happen Pakistan will undoubtedly be using it first because they will use even the last arsenal to stop Indians and Nuclear option may come at any point, last option may even become first, we never know. If Pakistan does that, first city it will target is our National Capital because of its closeness to Pakistan and make it a point that the loss that we would suffer from that one strike would account more even if India destroys whole Pakistan with its nuclear might afterwards. People say war would lead to third world war….Hahahaha…sorry for that unofficial language but irony has made me do that…COUNTRY THAT STARTED NON ALIGN MOVEMENT IN ONE WORLD WAR WOULD BE THAT FIRST TO START THE THIRD AND PERHAPS THE LAST ONE BECAUSE HUMANITY WONT EXIST TO FIGHT THE FOURTH ONE.
