The Recent Political Drift in Jammu And Kashmir

Today was a shocking day for all political enthusiasts as BJP backed out from the coalition government with PDP in J&K. Before discussing the political turmoil of today, I would like to enlighten all my readers with the current assembly seat distribution of J&K. PDP-28 seats  BJP -25 seats NC(National Congress) -15 seats INC(Indian National Congress) - 12 seats The seats required for majority = 44 seats and the current coalition was effectively making 53 seats (BJP + PDP). But now the scenario has changed, but let's see the possible reasons because of which BJP backed out of the coalition. Reason 1-Terror is on rise and BJP doesn't want to be a part of a failed coalition. But these issues are not valid enough because they were exiting since last year so why backing out now ...... I guess something is fishy.  Reason 2- As soon as BJP backed out, CM Mufti resigned from her post giving clear signals that an alternative government with NC and INC is not a poss

Football a Global Phenomenon - Brand Fifa

Hi people , last night I was watching this game between Mexico and Germany . Hell of a thriller it was . Well I am not a sports columnist , so I will refrain myself from going into the details of the match ( provided of the fact , am so desperate to talk about it :-) ) . While spectating the match , I saw something bigger , something more gripping than the constant counter attacks   . There was something that caught my attention apart from the game . Yes , I am talking about the millions of fans and spectators around the globe . The emotions and drama associated with the viewers all acrossss the world . Why are people so much attached to this game ??? Okay , one possible reason that comes to our mind is patriotism , just the fact that your country is playing out there , and you want to see your nation lifting the trophy on this grand stage . But , there are around 1.03 Billion people out there , who are mad about this sport , I guess everybody’s country aint have qualifieded for t

Microsoft’s Github Experiment - A Hint to the company’s new vision

Hello viewers , hope you have been enjoying the preceding  politico-ecnomico posts . Now I am bringing some exciting stuff for the Tech lovers . Yes , you guessed it right i am talking about Github’s whooping 7.5 Billion dollar acquirement by Microsoft . The deal which made a huge storm in the industry   . 7.5 Billion dollar is a hell lot of money , it is 30x the revenue of GitHub .   So why did Microsoft make such a move ?? Lets analyse this question with another question - what really GitHub is ?? For all the viewers from the non coding and programming background , GitHub is a version control platform that connects   people from various parts from the world working in similar projects , thus not only saving time and resources but also improving the working of the new version by a diverse set of opinions. In short a platform where developers interact and have a community of their own . Microsoft acquiring something of this sort hints us that the company is trying to mak
Is INDIA changing under PM MODI ?? A person can’t change the entire country. The country can only be changed by its people and I guess to a large extend, our PM has been able to change the mindset of Indians as well as foreigners regarding Indian economy and culture .India’s image across the globe has started shining like gold !! In general , I want to tell the world that India is coming and no need to fear us . Many people are saying that I am too optimistic about India and it’s growth . To those I want to tell that now india has started thinking optimistically and no one can stop them . The young gen of India will overcome all odds and make india not one of the best , but indeed the best ! We Indian have tasted growth after near 200 years and this time Indians are very hungry ! We will squeeze every drop of growth !!!!!! And yeah I am considering China too . If we have courage of seeing India and Indians at top of world then Day is not far when we overpower biggest
The decision to keep diesel, petrol prices high is bad economics and bad politics A few months ago, when the government decided to not alter the tax component in diesel and petrol prices, despite the beginning of the surge in their prices; the argument of building up revenue pool made economic logic. According to the finance ministry's  revenue collection projection , the government expects to mop up more than Rs 2.579 lakh crore by levying taxes on the petroleum products by the end of this fiscal. This is a massive jump from the gross revenue collection of around Rs 88,600 crore in 2013/14, in the last fiscal the collection was Rs 2.016 Lakh Crore. These collections stabilized the fluctuating GST collections in the indirect tax kitty. But now, when the international petrol and diesel prices are surging and the Indian currency is depreciating, these revenues are becoming a bone of contention. Given the circumstances, should the government hold these taxes? And is the
