Two weeks after Independence day, Our country is fighting with it's all time dip rupee fall against Dollar. Experts in news channels forecast it to fall even more and touch #70. This was the forecast last week when the rupee recorded a fall at 63.03. And, making the forecast a truth, the rupee recorded 68 yesterday.
I am feeling proud and ashamed at the same time to write this, we have so called 3rd biggest economy in the world, with top class business experts sitting in big fat MNCs of Investment banking and Economy sector advisories; setting up forecast for a rupee fall predicting the bad future within two weeks of Independence.
We continue to buy the Newspapers, tune in the News channels and increase the revenue of these agencies and unknowingly become part of this chaos. Have we ever thought, why this entire fight taking place? Why Food bill is floating all the news paper and no one wants to answer where all the money is going, all the taxes the citizens are paying. Price hike in almost everything and still we welcome Retail Giants to our country, as each one of us enjoy it shopping in AC Supermarket in a weekend enjoying so called imported "Ice-Cream" with the "Made in India" tag?
Surprisingly, when I opened today's newspaper, the front page had one third covered by Food bill and currency fall. And 2/3 of the front page was covered by a Cookie Advertisement.
Are we not losing our focus as a Nation? Are we not only thinking about wealth? Are we not forgetting our true calling as Bharat - the a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic, assuring its citizens of justice, equality, and liberty, and endeavors to promote fraternity among them?
