The India Gate, New Delhi

The India Gate, (originally called the All India War Memorial), is a war memorial located astride the Rajpath, on the eastern edge of the ‘ceremonial axis’ of New Delhi, India, formerly called Kingsway. India Gate is a memorial to 82,000 soldiers of the Indian Army who died in the period 1914–21 in the First World War, in France, Flanders, Mesopotamia, Persia, East Africa, Gallipoli and elsewhere in the Near and the Far East, and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. 13,300 servicemen's names, including some soldiers and officers from the United Kingdom, are inscribed on the gate. The India Gate, even though a war memorial, evokes the architectural style of the triumphal arch like the Arch of Constantine, outside the Colosseum in Rome, and is often compared to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and the Gateway of India in Mumbai. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
In 1971, following the Bangladesh Liberation war, a small simple structure, consisting of a black marble plinth, with a reversed rifle, capped by a war helmet, bounded by four eternal flames, was built beneath the soaring Memorial Archway. This structure, called Amar Jawan Jyoti, or the Flame of the Immortal Soldier, since 1971 has served as India's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Dilemma of World Economy

I am forwarding an interesting story about world economy. How valid is it? I leave it to you.

Amazing logic indeed. This is a crazy world! Interesting article written by an Indian Economist

Japanese save a lot. They do not spend much. Also, Japan exports far more than it imports. Has an annual trade surplus of over 100 billion. Yet Japanese economy is considered weak, even collapsing.

Americans spend, save little. Also US imports more than it exports.
Has an annual trade deficit of over $400 billion. Yet, the American economy is considered strong and trusted to get stronger.

But where from do Americans get money to spend? They borrow from Japan, China and even India.
Virtually others save for the US to spend. Global savings are mostly invested in US, in dollars.

India itself keeps its foreign currency assets of over $50 billion in US securities. China has sunk over $160 billion in US securities.
Japan's stakes in US securities is in trillions.

Result:
The US has taken over $5 trillion from the world. So, as the world
saves for the US - It's The Americans who spend freely. Today, to keep the US consumption going, that is for the US economy to work, other
countries have to remit $180 billion every quarter, which is $2
billion a day, to the US!

A Chinese economist asked a neat question. Who has invested more, US in China, or China in US? The US has invested in China less than half of what China has invested in US.

The same is the case with India. It have invested in US over $50
billion. But the US has invested less than $20 billion in India.

Why the world is after US?

The secret lies in the American spending, that they hardly save. In fact they use their credit cards to spend their future income. That the US spends is what makes it attractive to export to the US. So US imports more than what it exports year after year.

The result:

The world is dependent on US consumption for its growth. By its deepening culture of consumption, the US has habituated the world to
feed on US consumption. But as the US needs money to finance its consumption, the world provides the money.

It's like a shopkeeper providing the money to a customer so that the customer keeps buying from the shop. If the customer will not buy, the shop won't have business, unless the shopkeeper funds him. The US is like the lucky customer. And the world is like the helpless shopkeeper
financier.

Who is America's biggest shopkeeper financier? Japan of course. Yet it's Japan which is regarded as weak. Modern economists complain that
Japanese do not spend, so they do not grow. To force the Japanese to spend, the Japanese government exerted itself, reduced the savings
rates, even charged the savers. Even then the Japanese did not spend (habits don't change, even with taxes, do they?). Their traditional postal savings alone is over $1.2 trillion. Thus, savings, far from being the strength of Japan, has become its pain.

Hence, what is the lesson?

That is, a nation cannot grow unless the people spend, not save. Not just spend, but borrow and spend.
Dr. Jagdish Bhagwati, the famous Indian-born economist in the US, told Manmohan Singh that Indians wastefully save. Ask them to spend, on imported cars and, seriously, even on cosmetics! This will put India on a growth curve. This is one of the reasons for MNC's coming down to India, seeing the consumer spending.

'Saving is sin, and spending is virtue.'
But before you follow this Neo Economics, get some fools to save so that you can borrow from them and spend !!!
The world is in a economical mess 

कुछ भी बन, बस कायर मत बन

कुछ भी बन, बस कायर मत बन
ठोकर मार, पटक मत माथा
तेरी राह रोकते पाहन
कुछ भी बन, बस कायर मत बन
ले-देकर जीना, क्या जीना ?
कब तक गम के आँसू पीना ?
मानवता ने तुझको सींचा
बहा युगों तक खून पसीना !

मनसा वाचा कर्मणा : विनम्रता में है जीत

वे दिन गए, जब बड़े-बुजुर्गों या पद वालों का छोटों के मन में एक डर रहता था। अब यह डर कामकाज की जगह पर ही नहीं, घर के भीतर भी नहीं चलता। अब दूसरों पर दबाव दिखाना बहुत दिनों तक नहीं चलता। अब दूसरों पर दबाव दिखाना बहुत दिनों तक नहीं चलता और अगर लगातार दबाव बनाया जाए, तो इस चक्कर में उस व्यक्ति का सम्मान जरूर चला जाता है। वैसे तार्किक रूप से देखा जाए, तो जो दूसरों के आगे झुकता है, लोग भी उसी के आगे झुकते हैं। जो सदैव अकड़ में रहता है, लोग उसके साथ रहना पसंद नहीं करते। ठीक वैसे ही, जैसे झुके हुए पेड़ के नीचे हर कोई बेठना चाहता है, लेकिन खजूर की तरह खड़े पेड़ को लोग बस दूर से निहारते हैं, जो छायादार हैं। अतः दूसरों को डराना, धमकाना या अपनी पोसिशन से उनको दबाना, यह सब जीवन जीने का कोई अच्छा तरीका नहीं है।
वैसे भी जीवन का लक्ष्य किसी को झुकाना या दबाना नहीं, बल्कि निःस्वार्थ भावना से अपना कर्त्तव्य करना है और ऐसा करते हुए स्वंय झुककर रहना। जब हम ऐसा करेंगे, तो हमसे नीचे काम करने वाले लोग देखेंगे कि यह व्यक्ति इतना योग्य और कार्य-कुशल है, फिर भी इसमें अहंकार नहीं है। यह बड़ों को सम्मान और छोटों को स्नेह देते हुए चल रहा है। तब वे सम्मान भी करेंगे और अनुसरण भी।

स्वाभाविक जीवन जीने का यह तरीका यदि हर कोई अपना ले, तो यह दुनिया में कहीं भी कोई कमजोर और कोई ताकतवर नहीं दिखाई पड़ेगा, अपितु सभी एक समान नज़र आएँगे और हर एक अपना कार्य समरसता में रहकर करेगा। क्या ऐसी दुनिया की उम्मीद आपको नहीं है? अगर हाँ, तो फिर चलिए, आज से हम यही प्रण ले कि हम सदैव झुककर अर्थात विनम्र होकर दूसरों का दिल जीतेंगे और सभी को सम्मान देते हुए आगे बढ़ते रहेंगे। इसी में हमारी वास्तविक जीत है।
