Hai class XI 2015-16.
As we discussed in the class I shall be posting some current events relevant to our syllabus and all you have to do is read through it and give your comments.
It will help you not only to form your own opinion but also to express your opinion or voice any doubts.
Wrong English, poor grammar, all such, can take a back seat. All that matters is that you voice your opinion and I get to comment on it.
As the first exercise I shall post a few cartoons of RK Lakshman and then await your comments on it.
Shall we go ahead?

madam i am meenakshi.
ReplyDeletethis is purely my opinion. i think it is a success story because lifting india from a place where it was having nothing to a place where it is the third largest economy is because them and their reforms.so we can't say that it is not a success and poverty cannot be allievated fully by anyone it can be only minimized which has happened.i strongly believe that it is due to population explosion. government should spread awareness about it.

ReplyDeleteMadam i'm arathy.
ReplyDeleteWhat meenakshi says is right. And poverty can be minimized with the help of the government and with the effort of the citizen.
Foreign trade can some what help the local traders but it also affects so many peoples life.

ReplyDeletemadam, Im anagha vinod
ReplyDeletethe indian economy after independence had undergone new policies and decisions. the introduction of LQP and removal of LPG had boosted the economic development but could neither improve the primary sector nor eradicate poverty.
thanks meenakshi, anagha, arathy, your comments are very relevant and it is true that India's problems are unique in the sense while service sector is growing unhindered, the secondary and primary are unable to keep pace. The poor are in the primary and secondary sectors for only they can absorb unskilled labour. Less growth in these sectors implies that poor remain poor and those lucky one in the tertiary or service sector benefit from all the growth. Do you think a concerted effort to bring down the population growth and reduction in Government sponsored programmes will help? Sort of make the poor wake from their slumber so that they start believing in themselves rather than expect others to help them out always? Let me have your comments on this please. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm anagha vinod i dont't think that bringing down population will help as population is an important resource for the nation so the the govt should implement that kind of policies and program which will transform the human resource into human capital and the population should get involved in the development of our country. India has the potential and resource to be far ahead of other nations like China.
DeleteAnagha what if the resource itself becomes a burden. Take UP, Bihar, Orissa for example. No shortage of human resource. But we are unable to convert it into human capital. They lack health and education. So they become a burden to the whole nation. What do you say Anagha?
Deletecheck the cartoon on poverty line and let me have your comments XI C
ReplyDeleteRajiv Gandhi lowered the poverty line so that 75% of the poor people could get above poverty line... My question is WAS HE DOING THE RIGHT THING BY DOING SO ??? IS THIS GOOD FOR AN ECONOMY ???
ReplyDeleteno of course not, that is the point. See Meenakshi's point. It is all the play of Statistics. It is not economic development it is politics. One of the weaknesses of having poverty line as a measure for introducing or measuring the effectiveness of PAPs.
DeleteMadam, I am Raghunath
ReplyDeleteAs per my opinion the fact is that India had removed some rules and regulation which has benefited in strenghting india but in some areas it has been not changed and the poor are still poor .
so what to do Raghu? If you are the PM what will you do?
DeleteMadam ,I think that we can make the people aware who belong to the poor group of poverty and also issue programmes and scheme which is helpful for them so that they have the ability to now what their rights and how should they make the best use of it.
Deletefirst of all poverty line is an imaginary line. there is no such line as poverty line.it depends on the statistics of government departments.Rajiv gandhi was too ambitious to see india devloped . he tried to introduce many policies such as introducing computers.today computers are the backbone of indian economy.
ReplyDeleteTo reduce poverty goverment has to spread awareness and give education to allwhich would only help india come up.free education to all till10th standard.
But who will pay for it Meenakshi? Anything given free has no value. it is not because of non-education India is poor. Please understand. It is attitude of the people to remain poor. Meet me and mention ant and the grasshopper.
DeleteRaghunath
ReplyDeleteIt's not a right thing ,to make people above poverty line he had decreased the percentage of poverty line but he had not thought if he do so the people who belong to that part of community which are poor will not come forward because they are getting it for free .so I don't agree with meenakshi .
I agree Raghu. Government cannot be expected to do everything. Cut down family size. Think you are your own saviour. Giving this and that free is not the solution
Deletemadam iam gopika
ReplyDeletei think rajiv gandhi wants india to become more developed. that's why he had aimed to bring the population above the poverty line in five years
No Gopika see the cartoon again. You lower the poverty line, you can claim many are non-poor. It was a trick used to convince the public that all the Government programmes are a success in alleviating poverty. Political trick to win votes.
DeleteMam i am Jayakrishnan
ReplyDeleteI read ur cartoons it is very interesting. I think cartoons of RK Lakshman have a life.
He is trying to say about poverty in India.''Poverty is the worst form of violence.'' said by Mahatma Gandhi. Poverty can be controlled by people itself
poverty is the wort form of violence if you do not not give everybody an equal opportunity to make one's living. Indian poor do not lack opportunities, they lack the will power in my opinion. So it is the people JK, you are right.
DeleteMadam iam Midhuna
ReplyDeleteI think rajiv gandhi has taken effort to make India more developed country and he was too ambitious to make the country developed . And also he aim to bring the population better in the economy .
Midhuna, It is not Rajiv or Manmohan or Modi. It is the people. If they want to become better they can. The Government can only give a helping hand. But the people want the Government to feed them, clothe them, shelter them, do everything for them. No Government can afford to do that.

ReplyDeleteOk Madam now I understood . iam Midhuna
ReplyDeletemam i am shahin,
ReplyDeletei think arun jaitly is right.as now india is growing faster in all the ways so he says that he wants the other country to invest in business in india.but he says that india has no serious road blocks.i think he is saying wrong,india is a political interference country,he is trying to fool the people by saying india is not having political road blocks.
Shahin, he is not fooling the people. Political interference could have been there. Compare ourselves with countries like Pakistan, even China. Modern India is better off in liberty indicators. See you can comment like this freely because India still has freedom of expression. Sure, Politicians will interfere, but it is not as bad as you think. Political road blocks will move itself when money flows in. That is one language which politicians understand and relate. Nice comment though Shahin
Deletei am sumood i saw the comment of arun jaitley he is right more investment is needed for the development i think u will update many more things
ReplyDeletemam i jayakrishnan s
i read ur post it is interesting ,arun jaitly said the right thing i go with him.
He is considered more about the business in india
Thanks summod and JK. Next posting will be one-commerce. watch out
Deleteyes india definitely has a good opportunity to come up provided every one should
ReplyDeletework for it
mam i am sumood i saw ur latest post on ecommerce they mentioned about their development in the economy they also mentioned about future plans for development. i think we should prefer ecommerce because it is safe.
ReplyDeletemam i jayakrishnan s
i read ur e-commerce post it was interesting.
India has an internet user base of about millions. The e-commerce is low compared to markets like the United States,India wants to over come US in the sector of e-commerce. India wants to develope more than other country in the world.In India, cash on delivery is the most preferred payment method.so india is trying to develope e-commerce in india.
