Want To Serve Country? Start Earning!

Image
Everybody in India aspires to serve the country. When it comes to serving the country, one can imagine joining the military, civil services, or opening an NGO.  What individuals never believe that all the previously mentioned services are reliant upon the citizen's tax. Hence the higher the tax the better these services will be able to work. On average Indian government spends approximately two thousand billion rupees annually. Most of the spending goes into interest payments, pensions, subsidies, central sector schemes, etc. All this spending needs strong finance. Presently, everyone is going after a service that requires citizen's tax, then who will pay for it? Hence the biggest service one can render to the nation is by generating wealth. More wealth means more tax which eventually makes these services better. Let's understand this with an example, USA is the biggest superpower in the world. Its Defence budget is enough to explain the point. The Defence budget of USA is ...

GDP growth rate is -9.6 percent. India has entered into a technical recession for the first time as per an RBI official. If India continues to be in recession for several quarters then India may slip into an economic depression.

Islamophobia: What Should We Do?

Image
"I saw shine in those eyes when they talk with me. Then I uttered my name, suddenly those eyes lost their shine and became fearful. Then only I realized something is called Islamophobia". I find pain and prejudice suffered by Muslims for the acts of few. Life is getting difficult day by day as we continue to hear more cases related to Islamophobia. The term "Islamophobia" means fear of Islam. When people without understanding something start to have a negative feeling about it, the feeling soon turns into a phobia. This word was not very popular a few decades ago but now its resonance is increasing with its effects and consequences. In the time of the global pandemic, a section of the Muslim community was perceived as a super spreader of coronavirus in India which then sparked an outrage among all the other people and resulted in the rise of Islamophobia. Media catalyzed the situation by totally shifting the blame on one community which resulted in a series ...

Viewing Earth in Lockdown from COVID-19 Pandemic

Image
Woke up this morning, found that today is another day of staying at home when nearly whole world is on lockdown. I thought why not to go in balcony and observe things while I have the time. I went to balcony and stood there, I felt the breeze and looked up in the sky. I felt different, as it was like the sky was clearer than before, air was less polluted, no noise on the road as it was me directly interacting with the nature. Today world is facing one of the biggest pandemics in the history but it has taught us a lot of things which I would like to share with you all. A message so strong that it has made us look and ponder on our own existence. Earth has told us that humans don't own this planet, we are mere tenants and if we have a misunderstanding of thinking ourselves as the owner of this planet then we need to think again. Humans are only couple of thousand years old but this earth is millions of years old. It has seen a long number of events in history including the ic...
