Saas,Bahu, CRISIS and CLASHES

“In 2008, the possibility of an economic crisis was suggested by several important indicators of economic downturn worldwide. These included high oil prices, which led to both high food prices (due to a dependence of food production on oil production) and global inflation; a substantial credit crisis leading to the bankruptcy of several large and well established investment banks; increased unemployment; and the possibility of a global recession developed…..” .This is what you will find when you type CRISIS in wikipedia (assumed to the best online encyclopedia although being accused of misinformation by American universities) .How does this affect a common man(the same stupid common man from the movie Wednesday) in INDIA

Ramlakhan (not played by anil kapoor) is a local chai vendor at Khetwadi, Grant road .Once while having tea at his place I once happened to ask him the news about financial crisis he has heard in the news.”Saa’b dekhiye hum nahi jaante about this paison kaa problem. Daily I used to earn 450 rupees, I still earn the same maybe more but when you go to market to buy food, I loose most of my money. I live on rent and my kids study in school if you go to pay fees and buy books end mein 10 rupaiye bhi nahi bachhte." I’ve translated his bambaiya hindi to hinglish so we can understand.This person is maybe a so called “richr” by people livin below poverty line (I wonder when can one decide a poverty line for humans).There are crores of people who live below so called poverty line. Thousands of them die daily in suicides, hunger, diseases and more recently COMMUNAL CLASHES. YES

The financial crisis has started striking the core of human value systems. A local investor may just feel he has halved his portfolio when the market rides on bear but this long huge financial turmoil is simply killing these stupid common men. The common man is now unemployed, with no food to eat and roof to shelter him, he has now become gullible to any stranger who promises him a little hope Look at Orissa where clash is between men(Instigated by VHP) and some more men (instigated by churches).This strike has started affecting neighboring states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh. Our Central government is sending Troops to bring this back in order but they never think the causes that can once again lead to these misanthropic activities. The attack on major cities in terms of serial bombings is not the act of Islam (if it was Islam why would they attack Islamabad, Saudi Arabia).It is just sudden change of minds of radicalism. I am not saying that these people are doing the right thing. They are certainly doing the wrong things in the name of GOD. But instead addressing or reaching the cause of these things, We’re busy in implementing POTA or demanding resignation of Shivraj patil, the political parties will never quench their trust for power.

Some people say Capitalism is Privatization of profits and socialization of losses .Personally I believe in the power of free will and choice. I don't think Capitalism itself is the problem, I believe people are the problem. People choose to buy, invest in and consume things that are harmful to themselves and others. We don't need to get rid of Capitalism or become more Communist, we need to educate people to make better choices. The problem is that if we wait too long our system of government and economics might take on a life of its own that is so destructive that there will be no way to recover.
