Union Budget 2015-16. Very harsh. Very inflationary. Indians will have a tough time in coming days. (After that, no comments on the Narendra Modi Government, despite such anti-masses Union Budget, adhering to wait-n-see, bear-it-for-the-time- being, hopes-indeed-now-r-horses-we {no more beggars}-will-ride-them-hereafter, enjoy-luxury-to-the-extreme, have-global-food, see-rainbows-all-the-time) such are the no-holds-barrred comments of the (even most senior) analysers, thinkers, statisticians, forecasters, rabble rousers, knotty predictors, doom-pointers, astrologers, economists, teachers, professors, principals, principle advisors etc. This Budget, they unanimously opine, is not for the Indians, of the Indians, for the Indians. This budget, they say, is extremely inflationary. It will shoot up stuff beyond the countrymen’s reach. May be the Americans herein will spend lavishly. Not, even, non-Americans but white. They too are lamenting on such anti-masses Union Budget albeit, not yet known whether they’ve deciphered/analysed/understood the Budget at all. Are they criticizing the Budget for the sheer sake of criticizing it or are they meaning (what?) why they’re denouncing it. Or are they like R K Laxman’s Common Man whose creator Laxman easily became parvenu but continued to associate penurious, parsimonious Common Man with India, and India he. If Its obviously a farce, lets face it, to talk of Common Man. All people/s are Common Men in India today. Even industrialists here are enjoying Government Subsidy, so to say. At the same time, they are staying in Sky High Penthouses. It’s a farce thus, lets face it. Masses like industrialists here are as capable as ‘them’. Jaitley is right/correct/on-dot/accurate/perfect when he has presented the virtuoso Union Budget sending countrywide message across that “Its time all Indians adopt non-subsidy, world-matching prices. This way, they will do yeoman’s service to the Nation, to themselves as they will be forced to be 24x7x365 calculative in their every spending, they will also zero in on more and more ways to increase their earnings instead of wasting time on useless, non-productive, time-wasting scuttlebutt. If Jaitley’s Budget is inflationary, let the countrymen slog, enervate, self-abnegate to pre-empt inflationary happenings in the country. That’s democracy in the true sense. Don’s grouse/complain. Be self-dependent.
US President Barack Obama’s exclusive interview to JUST IN PRINT (or, JIP) indeed is feather in its cap. JIP has come to stay. It will continue to cover such exclusives in the coming issues as well. We want JIP to be move-n-shaker in India albeit, constructively, positively without any bias of any kind.
