BHARAT VS INDIA A DIVIDED NATION

The title of the essay,” Bharat vs India a divided nation” has become quite evident as the problems we are facing are pushing us into a dark tunnel of a divided nation with a small lamp at the end of this throwing eternal light of hope, mutual trust and sense of confidence. The display of unity and solidarity during the great struggle of freedom from the yoke of British imperialism that we had before independence all appears to be fading away in this modern dynamics of globalization and the presence of occidentalism. But delving deep into this burning topic, Bharat vs India, is all about the different reasons which sound alarm to us as one nation. It may be Hindu vs Muslim, Urban vs Rural, or Hindi vs English as a national language.




In India there are people with two sets of ideologies, one which supports the concept of modern India and others which wants rural India to be developed. One supports the spending of 200 crores on a Bollywood movie, robust it's space agency while the other half wanting to take care of the basic needs of farmers so that they can grow and be a part of the economy, alleviating their suicide rate and providing fresh drinking water. Another major reason that makes us look divided is the riots between Hindu and Muslim, in the past 70 years, our government has always put this issue on the back burner and has done practically nothing to resolve this problem.


The issue of whether Hindi should be made a national language or not has made this cleavage even more wider. In my opinion we need to understand that India is a diverse nation, its taste of water changes after every 3 km and its language in 7 km. By making a particular language its national language, it will give advantage to some Sharma who is born with this as a mother tongue while causing disadvantage to one say Subramanian as it is completely different from its mother tongue.


Jawaharlal Nehru once said: ”Who lives if India dies, and who dies if India lives?”. We need to understand Bharat and India is distinct but interconnected, there cannot be an ideal India or Bharat. The beauty of our nation is the diversity that we inherited. We need to accept the flaws, celebrate our similarities and respect our differences. We need to build India with its Bharat as a major contributor. India is our dream and Bharat is our ideology.

Financial Crises In Europe

                           What is the financial crisis? Why does it happen? Developing countries are at a loss to understand why developed countries are facing financial crises. These are the questions that have become common in the last two decades. In a broader sense, financial crises is the inability of a country to generate income and leading it to halt the wheels of the economy. The most important question arises that there are several regulatory authorities around the world that have chalked out modus operandi to drive the economy in a smooth and efficient way. Still countries fail to stand strong and end up in financial crisis. There are two major reasons for this. The first one, is the incompetence of the ruling government and turning blind eye to major problems like tax evasion and corruption. In the long term these string of set...

Will the flight from economic distress beats the fight against COVID-19 virus?

Will the flight from economic distress beats the fight against COVID-19 virus? The economy of India is going to face an output loss of $190 bn(according to Nilesh Shah, MD, Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company) as the wheels of commerce have been ground to halt. The arithmetic of the GDP of India is about $3 trillion, if it remains shut down for a month with a 100% drop inactivity it will create an output loss of $250 bn but as it is likely to be shut for 47 days it will create an output loss of $190 bn assuming that it will open on May 17.  Albeit, there could be a beacon of hope as the oil price has seen a significant reduction due to less demand in the world, it will provide $40-45 bn of benefit in terms of trade deficit this year. Another way to decrease this is to replace China-made goods with India made products, it will create $20 bn benefit in trade deficit. But still willy-nilly it will create $100 billion or thereabouts of output loss which is a signifi...
