To Trade or Not to Trade?

(i) Will the world return to the historical trend rates in global trade and what will be the shape of this recovery?
ii) Will we see a fundamental re-ordering of the priorities in different countries and an emergence of new trading and political blocs with consequences for the trading environment?
iii) How will different governments react to crises emerging from exchange rate movements, demand contraction and domestic pressures?
iv) Will the growing “anti-globalisation” or “economic nationalism” movement gain strength and, if yes, where?
(v) Which sectors will be impacted the most?

I can’t see nor can I speak. I am India, a nuclear power country...and we are Indians.

My Name Is Kaan

When Mumbai is held hostage by some local thugs, when an omnipotent state goes impotent and leads a vegetative existence, when the chief minister
of a state pleads helplessness, when one of the enterprising communities of Maharashtra gets all kinds of bad names because of the cowardly acts by a few self-appointed custodian of the Marathi rights, I just hear a few murmours of protest and discontentment.

I can’t see nor can I speak. I am India, a nuclear power country...and we are Indians.

When a city becomes cold to the plight of millions of homeless and see them die in bitter winter chill, when a Muslim’s loyalty is questioned time and again, when he is presumed to be a terrorist and he has to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he is not, when a person with long beard is usually, if not always, looked upon with suspicion, when injustice is done to Jessicas, Priyadarshinis & Ruchikas, I just hear a few murmours of protest and discontentment.

I can’t see nor can I speak. I am India, a nuclear power country...and we are Indians.

When the might of a state (military and police forces) takes on the Naxalites (poor in terms of resources and perhaps ideas, but full of good intentions), when a person born in an independent country is not free to choose his vocation, religion or place of residence, when hard-earned money of millions are treated as common wealth and wasted to host Games, I just hear a few murmours of protest and discontentment.

I can’t see nor can I speak. I am India, a nuclear power country...and we are Indians.

I wonder where have all the Candle Night Activists disappeared? I wonder why the majority of Marathis (in whose name the goons are creating havoc and who don‘t subscribe to the politics of Sena and MNS) are silent? I wonder why Rahul Gandhi (future PM) goes on a whirlwind trip of Mumbai but doesn’t get cracking with the law and order enforcement in the city? I wonder why has Maharashtra CM not resigned on moral grounds? (Remember moral science? It was taught in schools.) I wonder if I have the moral right to ask for his resignation?

I can’t see nor can I speak. I am India, a nuclear power country...and we are Indians.

What Do Rising Sovereign Credit Default Swaps Mean?

Rolfe Winkler argues that - in the short-run - the PIIGS countries (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) will slash their budgets and get bailed out by the EU.

Simon Johnson thinks that the weakening Euro caused by the PIIGS' woes will hurt American exports (weaker Euro equals stronger dollar), and could lead to problems for leading global banks.

Other commentators fear that the PIIGS' crisis has as much potential as a financial "contagion" as the subprime meltdown and the failure of Lehman.

Indian police target Valentine 'obscenity'

What do you think should Valentine day celebration be banned?

My view: We are living in a democratic country and this is our right to celebrate Valentine day the way we want. Obscenity should not be tolerated however we should not allow POLICE to prosecute love birds(18+ young mature Indian citizens )  under the subterfuge of moral patrolling.

Moreover political parties should not be allowed to color this issue in so called attack on culture and we must not allow to win them some brownie points.
