Prime Minister of India Sri Manmohan Singh is honest, simple and with clean image but is not active and effective as people of India expect from him. It may be the issue of price rise, corruption or lack of basic amenities infra structure for common men or the threat of naxalism and terrorism to common men. He talks of only GDP growth which means Garibi Development Programme. Rich people are growing richer. He gives relief of Interest to Industrialists and real estate developers but do not think it wise to care for senior citizens whose survival depends on interest income. I like to pinpoint following national issues.
State level inertness or ineffective central government or anger of God has made te situation a point of concern for all ministers in Government.
Kashmir: Curfew continues for last fifteen days due to violent agitation and uncontrollable destruction of property carried out by Kashmiri militants instigated by Pakistani terrorist. Kasmir is boiling and people are facing war like situation but PM is talking of peace since he took the charge of PM
Kolkata West Bengal: Naxalites attacks trains and local inhabitants. Mamta organised rally at Lalgarh along wit naxals and she without any hesitation is putting pressure on central government to stop Green hunt operation launched by P Chidambram Home Minister merely to disturb West Bengal Government.
Chhatishgarh : Naxals attacks frequently on CRPF jawans and kills hundreds of them in Dantewara.
Ahmadabad in Gujrat and Badmer in Rajasthan: Nature is destroying property worth hundreds of crores of rupees and giving trouble to lacs of residents and bent upon destroying property worth crores of rupees in Ahmadabad and other towns by way of flood. But action for giving relief is very low from te side of government.
Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat: IAS officers are trapped by CBI and Anti Corruption Bureau who were found to possess property worth hundreds of crores of rupees and government is not in a position to punish even IAS officers and IPS officers. There are more than 150 officers and more than 100 bank executives and a good number of PSU heads cases of corruption pending for investigation and punishment with CBI either in want of enough manpower to pursue the case expeditiously or under pressure of VIPs of government.
Bihar: CM is accused of involved in misuse of development fund worth 11000 crores. Train dacoity and misbehave with passengers have become a common feature. Frequent train accident due to negligence is a matter of concern.
Jharkhand: Madhu Koda trapped in playing with government fund involving hundred of crores of rupees. Frequent bunds called by naxal organizations have fully disturbed and paralyzed normal life in the state of Jharkhand, Orrisa, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh.
Karnataka: Reddy brothers are accused of indulged in illegal mining causing loss of hundreds of crores of rupees to government of Andhra Pradesh.
Kerala : Church and CPM are crying against each other.
Delhi: Suresh Kalmadi playing Corrupt Wealth Game allegedly causing loss of thousands of crores of rupees to government. National pride and national image is getting tarnished in International forum. India is likely to acquire number one position among list of most corrupt nations of the world. Magnitude of corruption is in no case less than annual March Mahaloot occurring in the country in every state.
Uttar Pradesh: Food grain worth crores of rupees damaged in want of proper storage facilities to store food grain items procured by farmers.
Madras Tamilnadu: Indian Bank Association in collusion with union leaders cheated PF optees of PSU banks by signing discriminatory and illegal 9th Bipartite Settlement with union leaders of bank. Madras High court stayed the recovery from PF optees but IBA is bent upon making recovery without giving offer for pension to eligible PF optees as per settlement.
Mumbai Maharashtra: Two big ships collided in Arabian Sea and there is fear of hundreds of oil tankers drawn into see and cause loss to environment, loss of sea birds and poisoning of water. No steps appear to have been taken to stop damage.
Leh : Cloud burst kills hundreds of person and destroys property worth crores of rupees.People need preferred care and rehabilitation.
National Issues causing concern in India: Common men in the entire country are facing pain of unbridled and unabated price rise in all essential commodities. And government of India is finding it difficult to control the same. Mutual blame game between state government and central government continues since long and people of India are silently bearing the brunt of price rise.
Corruption in centrally sponsored programme namely NREGA has beaten all past record of corruption.
Lacs of cases are pending in various courts in India in want of enough manpower, adequate infra structure and required number of judges. Judicial reform promised by various governments during last two decades is not moving in right direction of achieving the desired success
Education reforms promised and propagated by Kapil Sibal are yet to see rays of success and there is remote possibility of getting any considerable any reformation in education system. Tuition fee charges by schools, colleges, medical colleges and engineering institutes are still beyond the rich of common men.
Quantum of Non Performing Assets in banks is growing rapidly because there is no full proof method of recovering money from willful defaulters. Bank managements therefore hide NPAs to show higher profit. This has taken the shape of incurable cancer
Indian borders are still not having watertight security and due to this infiltration of terrorists in India from across the border continues unabated. Buses going outside India or vehicles plying in border areas are prone to security lapses due to negligent attitude of customer officials entrusted with the duty of checking the passengers..
Labour laws are yet to be reformed. Discrimination in various fields continues unabated.
Adulteration in food grain items is increasing rapidly, fake drugs and medicines are in circulation, fake notes are coming in market in large quantity, accidents are increasing, crime is increasing but police is still inactive and criminal friendly.
It is pity that above mentioned problems are not taken as a problem by government. MPs and MLAs are playing Kabaddi in Parliament and state Assemblies. Various parties are indulged in mutual blame game and they focus on strategy to win the election and not to give relief to common men.

USA and China are two Super Powers
Do you think USA and CHINA are trying to create bi-polar world order again?
Can India become Super power?
Power makes an individual center of lobbying. Power may be money power or political or social power .Similarly powerful country in the world is considered as Super Power and other nations seek advice and help from Superpower in case of need. Even India looks towards America before taking any decision or framing any idea which pertain to International relation. There may be one, two or three super power country in the world. China or Russia may be considered as probable Superpower by negligible portion of the world but USA is undisputed Superpower as of now.
As such the world may be unipolar or bipolar or multi polar , but till today USA is only considered to be Super Power because it is USA which extends financial and military help to many developing Nations , not China or Russia , of course through IMF or World Bank. Entire financial transactions are quoted in dollar terms and the US currency is more common in International arena than the currency of any other country. Even Euro s not that much transacted as US dollars.
Who knows China? Chinese toys or electrical goods may be cheap but not lasting and hence the image of Chinese goods is not good and even if it is so some to some negligible extent it is not sustainable .Obviously development story of China as f now looks good but to become Super power China has to do more and become sustainable and acceptable to other nations. People from all over the world go for education and job to USA, very few to China or any other country for that matter.
India is of course in creating euphoria of becoming Super power. A country, which cannot give employment to majority of Indians, where 90% of citizens are leading almost a miserable life, where corruption is rampant in all departments, where crores of children are constrained to work for survival of family, where electric power is unavailable for most part of the day and in most part of the country, where judiciary deliver judgment after two or three decades, where political leaders and ministers talk much about caste, community, religion or their region, where patriotism in citizen and love for the country is getting erosion day by day , where unity and integrity of the nation is at stake due to all pervasive Naxalism and extremism cannot imagine of becoming superpower at least in coming decade or two.
Indian GDP growth may be higher than many other countries but the growth so calculated by Statisticians have failed to portray the real picture of Indians and that of Indian Development. And Growth story narrated by veteran economists and politicians are pertaining to hardly five percent of Indians. It is true that there have been considerable good growth during last one decade or two. But it is also true that for achieving the task of social inclusion government still feel helpless and financially weak. Disinvestment of inherited property appears to be one and only solution to deficit financing.
It is true that Indians have vast knowledge and there is huge potential to make India superpower. But unfortunately talented Indians are constrained to go outside for better education or for better job opportunities. It is Indians who go abroad and earn image and get respect better than what he or she could have got in India. Talent of Indians is recognised and respected in USA, Britain and other countries but not that much in India itself. This results in exodus of talent from India.
Can so called GDP growth rate hyped everyday give happiness to Indians or talk of India becoming leader of the world may change the image of Rural India?
Lastly one can conclude and say emphatically that until Indians are respected and recognized India cannot dream of becoming superpower .India have to do lot for Indians first and than to think about competing with other nations of the world. To illustrate Indians banks are advised to merge and go for acquisition so that consolidated bank may compete with foreign banks of the world leaving Indian population crying for essential goods for respectful living .

Politics of vote bank
There are allegations that CPM is mainly responsible for vote bank and divisive politics in India even by jeopardizing national security / interest
All political parties are responsible for vote banks politics .Basic reason is that Indian voters are also lovers of caste, religion, region and community. They are basically greedy and become lover of those who give them something free. Even free promises without fulfilment do not annoy voters. They do not like to understand that politicians more often not make false promises on the eve of election..
Congress party appeased Muslim community for decades and won election with thumping majority. .This was realized after four decades by opposition parties and they too caught one religion or one caste or one group to create their own vote bank. BJP used Hindu, BSP used Dalit, RJD and SP Muslims and Yadav, Communists used working class and so on.
All political parties are indulged in vote bank politics. In fact voters are themselves divided and they are not at all concerned with national issues. Voters are confined to their local issues, their caste and communities and hence regional parties use their weak point and create vote bank. Characteristics of voter are different in different villages of different states. National problem of price rise or unemployment or illiteracy is not of so much concern for Indian voters. People voted Congress party in the last election knowing very well that under Congress rule prices go up and traders get full freedom to fix prices as per their whims.
As such different strategy is applied by different political parties to create vote bank. It is a fun that each political party accuses others of playing vote bank politics but do not hesitate to apply same narrow minded tools to win the lection when occasion arises for them.
India will rise with equity and uniformity only when national issues become agenda of mass voters and politicians discard their greed to become minister and earn money and power for their family.
India needs a leader like Jai Prakash Narayan, like Mahatma Gandhi or Netaji Subhash Bose who brought national issues on the radar of common men. Even Late Indira could get some amount of success in making “Garibi Hatao” a big success. Mr. Vajpayee could make the issue of “good governance” a national demand. India urgently needs a true leader, not those who can sacrifice national issues, ideals, party policies for the sake of a berth in cabinet. We do not want person who for getting a cream posting discard interest of the party of the country. Only devoted true patriots can dream of being firm in ideals and policies and only such person cannot be lured and deviated from right path by vote bank policies.

Bank Unions are shadow Managemnt
• Why officers and employees are not transferred out from the Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai etc. and on the contrary employees of states like Orrisa, Bihar, and Jharkhand are frequently transferred out of their states even violating transfer policies?
• Why some officers are always given rural posting whereas some other officers are even promoted without rural posting violating government guidelines in this regard?
• Why some officers are allowed to work in their Metro towns for decades whereas officers of other small towns and villages are to change their place of working every year or alternate year without any incentive or compensation?
• Is there no punishment for those executives who indulge in corrupt practices and resort to whimsical transfers to keep away all employees who may prove hurdle in their money making process?
• Why RBI remains silent spectator of ill-motivated CEOs of banks and allows the malady in banks to accumulate?
• It is worthwhile to mention here that unhappy lot of employees cannot think for and make efforts to keep bank healthy?
• Is human resource not capital in real sense in Banking Industry and for some VIP CEOs of Bank?
