Farmers cannot runaway from....

-

 



This morning in flat 10 minutes BJP got the  2 contrversal "Farmer bills" passed in the Rajaya Sabha through a sham voice voting amidist the panddemonium created by an  urully opposition .Once again our parliamentary democracy witnessed an udemocratic voting  system being  uleashed  No debate. No diascussions , Bill passed..

The two Farmer bills that got passed today were (1) The Farmers' and Produce Trade and Commerce(Promotion and Facilitation) Bill,2020. (2)Farmers(Empwerment and Protection)Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm services Bill,2020.

The above bills that now become a statutory law will  take away a major revenue stream of the States. Additionally it will in times to come bring in big Corporate Houses spreading their wings into Agricultural products. Further since the govt will let go its control on minimum support Price assured to farmers(MSP), the farmers specially the margainilzed farmers will become victims of giant Corporate Houses  Before this Mansoon session comes to an end  a third farm Bill  'The Essential Commodities (Amendment)bill 2020 , will get  passed and when that happens supply of certain items including cereals, pulses, potatoes,onions,edible oilseeds and oils will no more be covered by Essential Commodities Act.. This will in essence  help encourage hoardings and create artificial scarcity  Also  exporting these items will get  de - controlled.Next time when "ONIONS" desappear from the market don't expect the govt to come to your aid. The  giant corporate Houses with large  warehousing facilities are bound to use this law to peak their profit graphs. 

Ambani's Reliance buying  twenty five  thousand crore stake in Future Group is bound to  harvest big time profits out of this . Does it mean Ambani deal was a coincidence or well timed is something best left to reliance  'future' retail business..

Incidentatly the Nation wide Farmers protest and agitations against passing of these bills has now turned out to become another mighty slap on the already 'swollen' faces of the  farmers. 

Some sucides have the  tendecy to stay on media  Head lines for months together but sadly that has never been so when  farmers commit sucide which happens almost every other day. Now with this new farm bills enacted, the  farmers sucide will become politicans working capital to grind their politcal axe. All Politicians accross party lines have one thing in common and that  they all  have 'No conscience 'No morality'. 

Our PM feels his ' Tweets' and 'Maan Ki Baat' are the 'Mul Mantaras'  that can  help the  "FARMERS" to get out of their death and debt trap, unfortunately the farmers don't think so because they are à¤…नपढ़


Passing of these Farmer Bills in the Parliament today makes one thing clear and that is 'our farmers cannot run away from their "HEART TOUCHING PLIGHT" any time soon.

AFRICAN SAFARI.....a Book Review

-
Image
  "African Safari" is an intriguing title for a book that nowhere talks of  any expeditions to animal kingdom in the jungles of Africa. This book is about a cigar smoking business tycoon , a multibillion and multinational conglomerate whose business interest goes beyond his inherited empire of liquor and beer industries and spreads across industries  as diverse  as Airlines, Pharma, Paints, textiles to name a few. The media across the globe dub him as "King of good times".  "African Safari " is the story of "Rana Kapoor" the business tycoon and his business ventures in the French speaking regions of Africa, a continent that is fast emerging as world's big time growth market. The book takes us through  intricacies of clinching  business deals.  It talks about how political lobbying and networking with people in high places and bankers collaborate and become a blue print for M&A  stories. The book tells you that stories of business ventures

Giving words to my thoughts...

I  am returning to this space after 2 years and past 242 posts .It doesn't mean that I have lost my itch  for writing. I have always loved  scribbling words that give voice to the way I look at a situation, or to the way I feel about anything on the ground and under the sky. . My   view  may or may not matter  to the rest. However for me it remains a  mark of my own creativity. My creativity is more about visualizing things that  seldom see the light of the day.   Some call this  “Daydreaming” . I don't mind if people call me  a “wandering mind.” Neither I am bothered about the stigma called  “laziness” attached to it.  I see it as a tonic that energizes me  to think  beyond the realm of possibility For instance no matter how much  ever  I would have   chased my dreams  of becoming a corporate tycoon  I would never have been one simply because I would then lose the privilege and intimacy of being around with familiar and friendly faces sipping beer in crowded bar. I don't l

This Bihar election is the first major election since the Covid 19 pandamic disrupted the political calender and prompted sweeping measures for social distencing. The three Phase Bihar Poll for 243 Vidhan Sabha seats was completed on the 7th. The turnout for the poll as per media report was 58%. Today is the vote counting day. By the time the sun sets today , the dawn  of the next political regime in the State will emerge. Will this dawn usher in a new political 'don' or  the "Sarkar Raj" will continue  with  their  "All is Well " narrative for another 4 years. Will PM Modi, the over used "trump card" political campainer for NDA  be able  to push  back JDU- BJP led alliance once again into rulling Bihar for another four year terms or will he   concede defeat without playing and  crying foul.  Well whatever be the outcome of today's polling verdict, the politics of vendetta and vilifying the  poor will continue. The problem of unemployment, the
