Public Companies

Safest way to earn good money is – job. But it works until the system you are working for is profitable. If system fails regardless of whose mistake is, a common employee will be the first one to suffer. People at the top know how to ditch the system – especially when our system (public companies) is full of foxes and vixen rather than true leaders. People at top fudge the numbers and shows profit for their tenure and get away with huge bonuses .

On IIT's Professors hunger strike for salary hike

Is this justified for Professors to do hunger strikes when they are supposed to be teaching students... especially in this economic downturn.. most of us comes from financially struggling families and worked hard.. how about the sons and daughters of small farmers or shopkeepers or single parents or no parents (orphans).. don't they have any right to get educated. India still can not provide the adequate education to every child.. a systematic failure of democracy .. no wonder we are ruled by a 'special family'. probably India's caste based culture is now converted to family based culture and everyone is ready to snatch others kids' bread to buy new toys for his or her kid. Comparing the professors with highly earned politicians is shame of their hard earned education. I am not sure if IITs are getting money from GOI to run the institutions every fiscal year. If answer is 'no' and the institutions can easily generate enough revenue to meet the expenses, autonomy makes perfect sense. Autonomy implies 'don't bother each other'. Hunger strike sounds OK for a crime victim or 'blue collared labor union' as a desperate attempt to be listened. Mahatma Gandhi did it when we did not have our Government. Now though incompetent, but we have one. Instead of doing hunger strikes, it will be better if these intellectuals come up with a business plan to be self sustainable. And I am sure that the professors or VC of these institutes can easily set an appointment with Ministry of Human Resource Development. For Ministry too, instead of pumping money to a few elite institutions, if a general Government fund can be formed and any new or expanding institute can get money from it. For the time, they are owed by Government, they are made to follow the GOI's conditions and affirmative actions (reservations). Ultimate goal should be to make all the institutions run as autonomous and financial suffice. They can generate multiple streams of earnings from consulting projects, fees and research funds.

Your Safety in Your Hand

This is what Indian Government should do- prepare a self defence squad in every school, religious place and road of the country. Since Government can not provide enough security to common people and all the police force is busy to protect our octogenarian leadership, people has to start protecting themselves and their loved ones. It is especially true now, when Israel and US has issued the warning to their citizens for not traveling to country. Ideally I am not a big fan of guns floating everywhere and oppose the relaxed gun laws in US. But it appears OK if there is none to protect you and hardly any response from 100 (Indian version of 911). Though there is still one problem - If guns are available in open market, most likely bad and rich people will be the first to buy (poor people need food and education for their kids- at least in India) and they can use it to exploit others. But learning self defense techniques is always good (especially for vulnerable people such as women and children) since it gives you confidence to tackle the problem and most of time active brain wins than guns.

A stupid idea from a stupid government

http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/08/13/sex.or.tv/index.html

What else Indian politicians cum jerks can think. That's what they are doing from last 60 years and that's all they can do. They will not ask their special vote bank to reduce the numbers. They will try these gimmicks. Will they ever think that one possibility can be- Indian women having octuplets through in vitro (quack clinical trials of producing boys) or increase in teenage pregnancies. Still child marriages are not completely banished in minorities and rural areas. Indian Government itself is a comedy show on TV.


Seems like old man, father of 24 unknown kids, is more intelligent than Indian health minister.

On Indian Students' assaults in Australia

This is the stupidity on Indian students part too. Why are they paying such a high price to study in the universities where their lives are not secure (parents' unlimited access to money in world's most corrupt country has a role to play in this)? Random degrees from random universities can not secure you a good career. Leave the wild and inhuman country and invest in Indian schools and colleges to make 100 IITs every year. Make the separate institutions for SCs, STs and minorities instead of giving them sits without hard work to manage the quality of education (as is the case in US). Don't lower the standards but raise the ambitions.

Can slumdogs ever be made to stay in homes??

From last three days Sara Sidner, CNN's reporter from India, is showing the reports of slums demolition in Mumbai. Her stars of these news are our beloved slumdogs of Slumdog Millionaire. Why these child artists are still living in slums if their movies earned 386 million USD and won 8 Oscars? Why should Indian Government be held responsible and suppose to provide these people free land? They should ask money from Danny Boyle, producer and director of movie. I can not understand why the international media drag Indian Government especially if the slumdogs are from Indian minorities. Is this also fault of Indian Government that one of child actor's father try to sell her to a Saudi family.

And talking about the situations of minorities in USA. Since the access of easy money in USA was less last year, many Hispanic huntings took place same time. These hardworking people are being made to live in old pipes since they cannot rent apartments without photo IDs and SSN. Recently a report showed that many Hispanic women are sexually abused because of their visa status and lack of English knowledge. African American minority in US has higher percent of HIV incidents than people in African countries. Their houses in DC and Baltimore tell their stories. Many are passing lives on benches in public parks.

Sarah Sidner on behalf of CNN should recommend US Governments to open some slums in US major cities too.

Juvenile Devil

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/if-proven-juvenile-kasab-might-get-only-3-yrs-in-prison/450763/2

This is interesting!! I guess sometime Indian judiciary system goes far to save criminals. yes criminals. In a country of one billion people, common Indian lives have no value or at least less than a terrorist from Pakistan. Old Indian saying - Guest is God!!

Well, what if this guest comes with Machine guns and kill innocent people without any self protection? Gandhi's idealism of getting slap on both chick does not work here, since you can die only once (I am sure these devils will waste bullets on even dying human too). If Muslims allow to follow Sharia matrimonial laws, which include marriages at younger age than 18 years (In India, marriage laws are meant only for Hindus and registered marriages), they should not be considered as juvenile. And setting age on the basis of wisdom tooth sounds even more ridiculous- my 2 years younger sister got wisdom teeth before than I did.

Indian money in UBS

It is not about the money politicians have in UBS, but day to day corruption and ill treatment Indian citizens are facing in their homeland and other countries in the hands of Indian government officers(Indian embassies are mess).

Fourth generation of single family is ready to rule on India - Is that the democracy?? Second generation of Bush turned the decades of American success to disaster, what can we expect from the Nehru-Gandhi legacy. Their 'reservation on PM chair' will sustain till other 'jokers' will keep filling their accounts. I am still not able to understand how much money 70-80 years old men need who represent us worldwide. Why don't we get politicians with degrees from IITs and IIMs? This is the time when well educated and young people of country should take the lead, since our politicians, courts, police and election commission are failed. People should vote only for the candidates who have graduate degrees (from recognized universities), two or less than two kids and no criminal records. Won't it be great if we apply Pakistani model, but instead of keeping the army as a substitute of elected government, distinguished faculties of IITs and IIMs should replace the inefficient parliament?

Cuba and US Peace Process

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/04/08/cuba.travel/index.html

So GOP is telling us that we should don’t talk or do business with Cuba because of human rights violation in that country. But we have been buying oil from Middle Eastern Asian countries and making them super rich for years. So marrying 8 years old and punishing a rape victim and 75 years old is not a violation of human rights for GOP. Not to mention, American colony of Asia, called Pakistan, openly signs the deal with Taliban and let them prosecute people and attack neighboring countries. How we are showing our opposition? Giving them a gift of 7 billion dollars through bipartisan support. And what about China, the number one human right violating country. Since they know ‘own’ America and provide each and every possible products to satisfy mammoth American consumers so we have no option.

Do US kids not need fathers?

http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/wayoflife/04/08/out.of.wedlock.births/index.html?iref=t2test_livingwed

Probably fathers are replaceable here with some Chinese products.

Religious Conversion: Shame to Human Society

The religious minorities in the world always struggle to maintain their original status gracefully. Especial targets of conversion games are the kids of immigrants, who are pushed so far that they start hating everything belong to their alternative identities, uncommon to their peers- different names, dresses, spices, foods and name of Gods. I am writing this to reflect my opinion on a murder case- a second generation Indian girl Ria Ramkisson, who is neo-converted to Christianity killed her son to abide her church minister. Another confusing and converted man who really irritates every Indian is Bobby Jindal. He does not believe in global warming but believes in Adam and Eve story (If god created especially Bobby's ancestors, why can't he create global warming to teach Bobby some lessons).

Churches' bipolarity can be seen in Western culture where 40% kids are born to unwed and teenage mothers. These people depict India as the place of child marriages, Sati and casteism. I can't understand how kids in schools of western world having sex are different than child marriages in Indian subcontinent. Sati has been abolished in India many years ago, but still used to describe the trait of Hindus. But have these churches ever tried to understand the psychology behind it. Widows of warriors and elites were being raped and kept as slaves by the Middle Eastern primitive creatures who still see women as sex machine. Was not sleeping with the killers of your husband worse than death? Probably not in the western world. And situation was drastically improved in British rule itself, since they were more color conscious than exploiting a woman. After the death of her husband,Rani Lakshmi Bai, fought with East India Company for Jhansi and she and her adopted son were killed by the brutal British army. Casteism - Still after 200 years of freedom in US, a black president is continuously under the threat of white supermacy groups. How much suppressed Hispanic and African American groups in US are, can be only seen once you are here. They are very good in hiding the poors in shelters, bought using whole world's money. And I am still waiting for a non-white Pope and queen of UK to say a really equal world. How is the Western or Middle Eastern king and queen system different from what Brahmins were teaching - the class pass through birth? reality is by pushing young kids to the places for what they are not meant for make them dual for rest of their lives. Proving himself or herself a Brahmin without heart into the studies or strict daily routine, is also a punishment, as being Shudra.

I oppose all of the social evils - but don't call them as Hindus traits, they are the dark side of human nature- full of greed and lust. It appears even most of Hindus do not know what Hinduism stands for and not able to teach their kids about the true 'Sanatna Dharma'. Also, first generation of immigrants suffer tough economic conditions and are not able to spend enough time with their kids. Unlike Muslim, Hindus are more open and let their kids mingle with others and learn new culture, but the situation should not be exploited by churches. If we includes Veda, Gita, Ramayana, Upnishads; we can also include Bible and Kuran? We can and that is the most unique features of Hindu religion. Instead of fighting like dogs (as is the case with Shias and Sunis) or making dozens of churches (Mormons, Protestants, Catholics, Evangelic and so on) on the same road, we put all the idols under same roof and let the people meet and greet under same roof. Learn to appreciate, only then you can recognize how unique and great you are. But obviously, the recognition of truth is not so obvious.

Various forms of Islam

http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/04/04/afghanistan.womens.rights/index.html

It appears that Islam has got all the possible ways to exploit wome. Wahabbism (Sunni Muslims of UAE)allow ahipping 75 years old lady, rape victim and marrying a 8 years old girl to 47 years old men. Taliban's inspirational plan is to burn girls' school.

Election in India: What if Sonia is next PM? 'Vatican Rule'

What if a Vatican ‘Sonia Gandhi’ will win Indian election and start ruling on India? She will stop the selling of condoms, stem cell research and start teaching kids about Adam and Eves (creationism), similar to what Bush was trying in US.

AfPak: Pakistan Bailout

Once again, US tax money is devoted to Afpak plan. Same politicians, who were fighting over some millions for the art projects and job shifts to China and India, readily passed the bill of contributing $1.5 billion for Pakistan’s imaginary welfare. Obviously, US can't support each and every Pakistani for ever, ideally US should provide them jobs, and if that's the policy I would be much more happy on this plan. Anything that can keep Pakistanis far from terrorism and hatred feelings towards Indians particularly Hindus and Jews is good for whole world. My question is here- how much welfare has been done till now in Pakistan using American dollars- nukes, missiles, missiles defense and numerous militant organizations. Thanks to the ‘so called developed’ countries, South East Asia has become a nuke battle ground, ready to explode anytime. It is easy to sign up numerous defense deal and get the same money back in your economy, after debting it to charities. But, it is very hard to divert the direction- push it into targetted economy. Among the newly (in comparison to US)independent and diverse countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, India etc., political corruption and British strategy of ‘rule and divide’ is the norm. If US is contributing $1.5 billion, probably only development work of worth $1 million will be done and rest will feed middle men. How these middle men will handle the money? They will add it to their accounts in UBS, buy palaces in European and American big cities, move their family members and will give tithe to their mosques or religious organizations(The way Parvez Musharaf is spending his reward these days to stay outside of Pakistan). So probably all will get some part of it – US and EU, terrorist groups and Pakistani politicians. Pakistan chose its own density- to beg and feed itself. This lack of self esteem reflects when the government signed up deal with Taliban in Swat Valley.

On the other hand, India who got freedom at the same time and regardless of all the diversity of religions and races (if Max Muller was right) has achieved a lot for uplifting the weeks and poors (though have not distributed homes using others lifelong savings). The international religious hypocrisy and neighboring countries's ill will always created and still creates trouble in country’s growth, but people of India are continuously struggling in controlling the population and raising literacy percentages without licking the shoes of other countries' politicians. Indian government literally stopped hiring people of upper and middle castes, pushing them to be‘Educated generation of Indian vagrants’. And this Indian generation is helping the entire world to be technically advanced. You name the countries and you will get Indian people- Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, EU, Canada and many more. I guess rest of the world is trying to expand through wars, religions and businesses; Indian civilization is spreading through people. People who believes in Vasudhev kutumbkam (Whole world is family) and the only thing they want is right to live in harmony and peace with other humans, plants and animals.

Passion to thrive

A kid in an immigration rally speaks about the problem of his school. The school is firing teachers because of budget cuts during this recession. The passion of this kid for good education can proove all those citizens wrong who thinks that illegal workers and their kids are burden on the system.

In the morning, I was listening Kane's show on Hot 99.5(a talk show, where people ask him to call their loved ones for spying) and he was telling about how he helped a mother to track down her daughter's wild spring break, full of booze and boys. Kane recieved hate mails from listeners and fans for this spying act since, according to the listeners, it will spoil the relation between mother and daughter. These people have no problem when Kane do this in marital relationship. Similarly there are citizens who complained about the food stamps of $176 per month and donot stop on processed foods.

I am tired of listening people that immigrants will reduce the standards of American competitiveness. My question is who is here more competitive- a kid willing to go to school and stand against all the hurdles on his way, or a spoil brat for whom her color, language and country of birth may most likely reserve success, if defined only in terms of money. For whom this infrastructure should be used in ideal world- for a kid of an immigrant mother who wants to study or always complaining and going 'hi' citizen.

War of Numbers

In the war of Islam and Christian's statistics, governments of poor nations are paying and native people are suffering.... It is not quantity but quality matters.. What is the use of such religion which can't educate young kids??? Was Bristol Palin, a single teenage mom not enough to stop Pope. And most populous contry India's newspaper is publishing on the front page. It's sad... and later the westerns will make 'slumdog millionaire'. India needs to adopt Chinese policy of one kid and impose it strictly.

A correspondence with Diana Furchtgott-Roth

Hi Diana

Thanks for your encouraging words.

It is sad that US is going away from globalization after starting it. Or probably there was no globalization but USization- where Mexicans will clean USA, Chinese will produce goods by risking their environment and health, India will work as support center. After earning in dimes, these people will spend money at McDonalds and Subway (luxurious food chains in these countries).

Recently, a Republican congressman from Iowa told Microsoft to fire H1, not the citizens. In Stimulus bill, finance companies which receive TARP money are told not to hire H1. H1 itself has basis in exploitation since employee is dependent on employer for each and every steps. Companies have to spend extra money for hiring internationals, so they, especially the small businesses, are reluctant to hire an international. Only big corporations are willing and can offer equal wages as a citizen will get.

I know many people who took loans of some thousand dollars and came to study here. If their road of getting job is blocked, it will be an emotional and financial disaster for them. And system not only needs Albert Einstein but also a janitor (unless citizens start taking responsibility). If a person, regardless of citizenship, is fired from his or her job more than two or three times and no mergers or major business operation shifts were going on, it implies he or she needs improvement or change in direction.

Most shameful part is – who started this mess? People who runs Wall Street (no immigrant can reach there easily). People who buys homes beyond their afford limit (no immigrant will even think of it). Being so insecure of future here, now no immigrant will buy an American dream home- even if he or she can afford it.

I hope that US politicians and public will understand it, because globalization is an irreversible process. Only Federal can pay 100$ per hour for the job which can be done elsewhere in the world for 20$ per
hour, not a private business or corporate.

Once again thanks for writing for us, since like DC we are here with ‘taxation without representation’.
Thanks

Broken Legal Immigration

I guess US needs more people from Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and other radical countries. Green cards are distributed to these peoples like hot cakes. US don't need Indians and Chinese anymore, And on the other side….Skilled people are also getting more opportunities back home and in other countries. So it is the time to even out. Living in Canada, with no threats of H1 expiration and unnecessary taxes, is far better than in US, and especially with US degrees. H1 holders are feeding your social securities and medical plans and they have to leave this country immediately after loosing jobs. It is so stupid that the most brilliant people with Masters and PhDs are stopped to participate in any country's growth and political system. Since they are no longer residents of their countries of birth and are waiting 20 years to be US citizens. What to do- be a slave of IT companies or Wall street. A few of us goes to earn million dollars since it is not the money but good and safe living what brought us here. Our priority includes bringing up our kids in safe, comfortable and full of love environment, not to roam alone in a million dollar home. You will get more of European and Middle Eastern people as billionaires.

Every year my country of birth gives citizenship to millions of people from Bangladesh and Tibet, entered illegally and regardless of the country's population of 1 billion. They are allowed to do whatever they want - follow Sharia rules, have multiple wives, lots of kids, follow their religions and be part of next generation of 'Slumdogs'. I guess now Indian government should sign a deal with Virgin Airlines and pick them from the borders to bring to US- so that they can get their Greencards. Do you even recognize Tibet as a country?? Probably not, since modern US is now 'Made in China' and bought houses on the savings of hardworking people all around the world.

People link immigration with Carbon Emission.It is not the each and every country's individual emission at the day end what counts. And most of the educated people have only 1 or 2 kids and we make sure that our kids will get higher education to influence thousands of other lives. Surely an American has larger carbon Footprint than an African. But at the day end counts also matter and your companies are selling same life style, you have here. Every year 1000s of shopping malls are opening in India and still growth is lower than China's. Stop funding the churches and mosques, which are working in Asia and Africa to raise their 'religious statistics' through propaganda against family control. Better use this money to provide adequate facilities to single and young moms and their kids here. Also stop funding terrorism and nuclear bombs in Asia and Africa, better save this money to pay unemployment benefits when all the jobs will be outsourced or to gift homes to reckless parents of 14 kids.

Some are talking about the Indian contractors and H1 exploitation. Who run these companies?? Probably some brown and white Americans, to open a business it requires Green card. So no H1 is running these companies. And for sure, these companies have some projects or sources of income. It might be possible that these companies are working on the contracts of Federal or other states' agencies. They can easily work under the big consulting firms who have strong lobby base in government and can easily get the projects. After all the overhead and salaries of top officials obviously these H1 are compeled to work on half the money, an American counterpart will get. First Americans designed the schemes to exploit immigrants and later accused them for 'being exploited'. These H1 are opening the path of growth in the most backward states, still struggling to rise above their images of KKK and racial crimes. H1 has its base in the exploitation of people whether they are educated here or coming directly from India or China.

People are unnecessary crying for the lowering wages. Hello!! writing a webpage in HTML, any high school student can do. And above all, most of the people who are fired in the initial rounds, are usually the ones who stopped growing. Companies can't keep paying on the basis of what you did some years ago, they put the money in 401K then for you to use now. Being fired from jobs with similar skills again and again unless there are no big mergers or outsourcing going on, itself shows that there needs some serious improvement or change in the direction. Some are telling that people are coming on fake resumes etc. CIA works in all the possible countries and has news of every terrorist attacks beforehand, can't they get Department of Homeland Security a list of recognized universities worldwide. Rather this is an opportunity to standardize the universities and education system worldwide.

Thanks to US for setting up the quality work ethics and letting us to learn it through your best education system. Now we will bring whole world equal to yours.
Another great news- now your campuses are going global. Many universities are opening campuses in Middle Eastern countries and other Asian countries, though I am not a fan of living in Islamic countries.

What went wrong?? Obama's Budget

It seems that none is happy from stimulus plan. Regardless of the fact that everyone wrote it. Obama spent significant time in making the consensus among both parties and establishing bipartisanship in Capitol Hill. But appears, people there, don't get it. Most of the representatives showed their creativity and adds their point of views or pork for others in this joint effort. Now everyone is blaming other side. Will these people ever stop autopsy process and move forward??

Republicans do not get the environmental concerns. They think that God will clean the environment with magic wand and soldiers will keep fighting forever. They do not like spending money on Arts. The fact is that there are more American students graduating in Arts, every year, than any other discipline. So do they want - all of them to sit at home?? They do not like spending money on sex education. If Sarah Palin, regardless being a conservative, can not convince her daughter for abstinence in Alaska, how can common people run behind their kids all the time in cities like in NYC or LA??

This recession is caused by the negligence of both Democrats and Republicans. So stop criticizing and work because people are paying for you too as they paid recently for AIG and other Wall Street giants.
