A Weekend Guest Post: "According to the Book": "A different perspective on 9-11-2001

On 9-11-2001, 2,976 people lost their lives when the hijacked planes flew into the twin towers, the pentagon and a Pennsylvania corn field. 

It was horrible!

It was at first unbelievable!

It was an attack on America by an enemy!

The enemy was found to be Muslim terrorists, and 

it was war being declared. 

It hurt every American to the core. 

It made us angry at this senseless loss of life.


2,976 lives snuffed out, many of which went out into a Christ-less eternity. 

Since that time, steps have been taken to see that attacks or deaths of this magnitude hopefully will never happen again in the United States. 

  

Every year on the anniversary of 9-11-2001, the news media, large corporations, small businesses, civic organizations, and yes…even churches make a big ado about what happened on that date.

Absolutely nothing can be done to change that tragic day and its events. But there is something that’s happening today and every day that we can do something about. There is something happening today that we can change. See if you don’t agree.

Indian Prime Minister Shri Manmohan Singh's Address to the Nation

Shri Manmohan Singh

My dear brothers and sisters,

I am speaking to you tonight to explain the reasons for some important economic policy decisions the government has recently taken. Some political parties have opposed them. You have a right to know the truth about why we have taken these decisions.

No government likes to impose burdens on the common man. Our Government has been voted to office twice to protect the interests of the aam admi.

At the same time, it is the responsibility of the government to defend the national interest, and protect the long term future of our people. This means that we must ensure that the economy grows rapidly, and that this generates enough productive jobs for the youth of our country.  Rapid  growth is also necessary to raise the revenues we need to finance our programmes in education, health care, housing and rural employment.

The challenge is that we have to do this at a time when  the world economy is experiencing great difficulty.  The United States and Europe are struggling to deal with an economic slowdown and financial crisis. Even China is slowing down.

We too have been affected, though I believe we have been able to limit the effect of the global crisis.

We are at a point where we can reverse the slowdown in our growth.  We need a revival in investor confidence domestically and globally.  The decisions we have taken recently are necessary for this purpose.

Let me begin with the rise in diesel prices and the cap on LPG cylinders. 

We import almost 80% of our oil, and oil prices in the world market have increased sharply in the past four years. We did not pass on most of this price rise to you, so that we could protect you from hardship to the maximum extent possible.

As a result, the subsidy on petroleum products has grown enormously. It was Rs. 1 lakh 40 thousand crores last year.  If we had not acted, it would have been over Rs. 200,000 crores this year. 

Where would the money for this have come from? Money does not grow on trees. If we had not acted, it would have meant a higher fiscal deficit, that is, an unsustainable increase in government expenditure vis-a-vis government income. If unchecked, this would  lead to a further steep rise in prices and a loss of confidence in our economy.  The prices of essential commodities would rise faster.  Both domestic as well as foreign investors would be reluctant to invest in our economy. Interest rates would rise.  Our companies would not be able to borrow abroad.  Unemployment would increase. 

The last time we faced this problem was in 1991.  Nobody was willing to lend us even small amounts of money then.  We came out of that crisis by taking strong, resolute steps. You can see the positive results of those steps. We are not in that situation today, but we must act before people lose confidence in our economy. 

I know what happened in 1991 and I would be failing in my duty as Prime Minister of this great country if I did not take strong preventive action.

The world is not kind to those who do not tackle their own problems. Many European countries are in this position today.  They cannot pay their bills and are looking to others for help.  They are having to cut wages or pensions to satisfy potential lenders.

I am determined to see that India will not be pushed into that situation.  But I can succeed only if I can persuade you to understand why we had to act.  

We raised the price of diesel by just Rs. 5 per litre instead of the Rs 17 that was needed to cut all losses on diesel. Much of diesel is used by big cars and SUVs owned by the rich and by factories and businesses. Should government run large fiscal deficits to subsidize them?

We reduced taxes on petrol by Rs. 5 per litre to prevent a rise in petrol prices. We did this so that the crores of middle class people who drive scooters and motorcycles are not hit further. 

On LPG, we put a cap of 6 subsidized cylinders per year. Almost half of our people, who need our help the most, actually use only 6 cylinders or less. We have ensured they are not affected. Others will still get 6 subsidised cylinders, but they must pay a higher price for more.

We did not touch the price of kerosene which is consumed by the poor.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters,

You should know that even after the price increase, the prices of diesel and LPG in India are lower than those in Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

The total subsidy on petroleum products will still be Rs. 160 thousand  crores. This is more than what we spend on Health and Education together. We held back from raising prices further because I hoped that oil prices would decline.

Let me now turn to the decision to allow foreign investment in retail trade.  Some think it will hurt small traders.This is not true.

Organized, modern retailing is already present in our country and is growing. All our major cities have large retail chains. Our national capital, Delhi, has many new shopping centres. But it has also seen a three-fold increase in small shops in recent years.

In a growing economy, there is enough space for big and small to grow. The fear that small retailers will be wiped out is completely baseless. 

We should also remember that the opening of organized retail to foreign investment will benefit our farmers. According to the regulations we have introduced, those who bring FDI have to invest 50% of their money in building new warehouses, cold-storages, and modern transport systems. This will help to ensure that a third of our fruits and vegetables, which at present are wasted because of storage and transit losses, actually reach the consumer. Wastage will go down; prices paid to farmers will go up; and prices paid by consumers will go down.

The growth of organized retail will also create millions of good quality new jobs.

We recognize that  some political parties are opposed to this step.  That is why State governments have been allowed to decide whether foreign investment in retail can come into their state. But one state should not stop another state from seeking a better life for its farmers, for its youth and for its consumers. 

In 1991, when we opened India to foreign investment in manufacturing, many were worried. But today, Indian companies are competing effectively both at home and abroad, and they are investing around the world. More importantly, foreign companies are creating jobs for our youth -- in Information Technology, in steel, and in the auto industry. I am sure this will happen in retail trade as well.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The UPA Government is the government of the aam aadmi.

In the past 8 years our economy has grown at a record annual rate of 8.2 per cent.  We have ensured that poverty has declined much faster, agriculture has grown faster, and rural consumption per person has also grown faster. 

We need to do more, and we will do more. But to achieve inclusiveness we need more growth. And we must avoid high fiscal deficits which cause a loss of confidence in our economy.  

I promise you that I will do everything necessary to put our country back on the path of high and inclusive growth.  But I need your support. Please do not be misled by those who want to confuse you by spreading fear and false information. The same tactics were adopted in 1991. They did not succeed then. They will not succeed now. I have full faith in the wisdom of the people of India.

We have much to do to protect the interests of our nation, and we must do it now.  At times, we need to say "No" to the easy option and say "Yes" to the more difficult one. This happens to be one such occasion. The time has come for hard decisions. For this I need your trust, your understanding, and your cooperation.

As Prime Minister of this great country, I ask each one of you to strengthen my hands so that we can take our country forward and build a better and more prosperous future for ourselves and for the generations to come.

Jai Hind.

NOTE:

Let me repeat the words of Basheer Vallikkunnu,

You may agree or disagree with Manmohan Singh's views/statements!
But in his statements and views no doubt there is a firm decision and vision. One cannot just blame that he is a puppet in the hands of someone, there is no meaning in repeating those statements.


END NOTE: 
For your information I am not affiliated to any political party, this is for your kind information. I just aired my views along with my fellow citizens and bloggers.

Night Shift Workers Here is an Alert: It May Raise Your Diabetes Risk.....

• Working the night shift increases women’s risk of type 2 diabetes
• Working a night shift periodically for three years increased diabetes risk by 20 percent, and this increased to 58 percent among those who worked the night shift for 20 years or more
• Irregular sleep-wake cycles may interfere with your body’s blood-sugar metabolism, leading to insulin resistance and increased blood-sugar levels, both of which are linked to diabetes
• If possible, avoid night shift work to protect your health. If you can’t avoid it, keep to a schedule so your body’s clock will eventually adjust to your sleep/wake cycle
• When sleeping during the day, it’s important to keep your bedroom as dark as possible to simulate nighttime. Your body releases important hormones in response to exposure to light and darkness

ചിരിയുടെ അമിട്ടിനു തിരി കൊളുത്താം......
 

എന്ന് ഏതോ ഒരു കവി പാടിയ ഗാനശകലം ഇന്നു വീണ്ടും  

ടീവിയിലൂടെ  ഒഴുകിയെത്തിയപ്പോള്‍ ഞാന്‍ ചിന്തിച്ചു പോയി,

"ഏതു സാഹചര്യത്തില്‍ പാടിയതായാലും ആ ഗാനത്തിലെ 

വരികള്‍ ചിന്തനീയവും ഒപ്പം അര്‍ത്ഥ ഗാംഭീര്യമാര്‍ന്നവയും  തന്നെ.

"ചിരി" ഇന്നു നമ്മുടെ തിരക്ക് പിടിച്ച ജീവിതത്തില്‍ നിന്നും 

വിട്ടകന്നു കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നു ഒന്നായി മാറിയിരിക്കുന്നു. അതു, 

ഇന്നു വളരെ വിരളമായി സംഭവിച്ചു കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്ന ഒരു 

കാര്യം എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞാല്‍ അതില്‍ ഒട്ടും അസത്യം ഇല്ല തന്നെ. 

കാരണം, എല്ലാവരും ജീവിതത്തിലെ അവരവരുടേതായ  

ഗൌരവമേറിയ കാര്യങ്ങളില്‍ മനസ്സുറപ്പിച്ചു തിരക്കുകളോടെ

William Carey: The Nation Remembers the Great Missionary

 

 The Nation Remembers the Great Missionary- The Father of Modern Missions”

  

Expect Great Things From God, Attempt Great Things For God – Said William Carey the Great Missionary.   

In commemoration of  William  Carey

                 Government of India released this stamp in 1993

He said it and stood firm on it and attempted great things for God and God honored him.

Born on 17 August 1761 in a village called  Paulerspury in Northamptonhire in England, and departed from this world on 9 June 1834.

As a nation we remember "The father of modern missions" on his birthday on this day on 17^th August.  251 years passed by, but the legacy that he left behind is still astonishing and it encourages and inspires millions of Indians to lead a purposeful life.  He was born in a very poor family of a cobbler who struggles to meet both ends.  He attempted great things for God and God counted it as great and God honored his selfless service. Today he is remembered by millions of people in India.  His achievements are many.  Here are few things he could do and achieve in his mission for God.  Though he faced many difficulties in putting forward his mission he never looked back or withdrawn.  He faced all challenges before him and achieved many things.

Sanal Edamuruku, or for that matter Rationalists International, were not names the Indian Catholic Church was familiar with before it ran into them in Mumbai, triggering an obnoxious controversy that has crossed national borders and is making news in the US and the UK.
