MANMOHAN
DECIDES TO SELL INDIA IN RETAIL
Sardar
Vallababhai Patel, the first Indian Home Minister in Jawaharlal Nehru’s cabinet
with great difficulty achieved the almost impossible task of bringing princely
states into Indian Union. But now move is in reverse gear. Competition between
multi-national corporations of various countries is for breaking India into
smaller states subsequently into city states so that they can have monopoly
over that region. LTTE leader Prabakaran would have won Tamil Eelam if he had
offered Trincomalea to an USA company or had offered the oil fields near in
Palk Straits to Oil giants. The death of nation states had begun, and cross
border rule by corporate to exploit the mankind had come to stay.
The
puppeteer’s abroad pull the strings and puppet Manmohan Singh had started his
dance to the tunes of corporate world. The decision to allow 51% foreign direct
investment is necessitated not by national interests but by multi-national interests.
Indian
retail market is worth $ 28 billion dollars today. Yes it is estimated at 1.26
lakh crore, of course less than 2G level. It will grow to $ 260 billion by
2020. The process started when India allowed 51% FDI in single brand retail in
2010. There are few in Indian capitalists who could welcome FDI. Who are they
and why do they welcome? Those Indian capitalists who can partner with a
multinational corporation are welcoming this move. 51 % to foreign investor and
he can be our master and we with 49 percent be his servant, these selfish
Indian chameleons welcome FDI.
Already
United States agriculture commodities giants Archer Daniels Midland and Cargill
have acquired stakes in Indian edible oil market. India’s annual edible oil
consumption is approximately 15 million tons worth around 75000 crores annually
and increasing, so multinationals want to grab this market. Multinational
companies are sneaking into meat products market both in India and China.
World’s largest commodity trader Glencore International AG is planning to buy
Indian sick company KS Oils limited and before that happened Goldman Sachs
Fund- Goldman Sachs Investment Limited Mauritius bought 21.46 lakh shares of KS
Oils for Rs10.92 per share. Glencore is mining and commodities conglomerate. It
controls 10 percent of world’s tradable grain market. It controls 3 % of world’s
oil market.
Since
this week we hear heated arguments for Periyar Dam, my mind goes back to 2002.
Then Kerala Government wanted to sell water in malampuzha dam to London based
multinational Vivendi. The waters of Periyar dam to be sold to a London based
multinational. Then Opposition Leader V.S.Achudanandan had charged that “under
the agreement with multinational companies 80 percent of water of Malampuzha
dam would be used by the company and no water would be spared to agriculture.”
We are not aware in Tamilnadu on what happened to this River Water sale to
multi-national companies but this alert by then Opposition leader indicates the
conspiracies of multi-national companies for quite some time since GATT was
signed in last century. Reasonable doubt arises whether to pursue this Water
Sale to Multinationals, current Government wants to construct new dam over
mullai-periyar.
The
World Bank puppet Manmohan Singh’s government gave China a boost in October
2011. The Government decided to allow corporate raise external borrowing in
Yuan equivalent to $1billion .First time India recognized Chinese currency as
acceptable currency without even demanding that China should give equal
acceptance and recognition to Indian rupee in bi-lateral trade. Great
Economists like Manmohan Singh and Pranab Mukerjee are for facilitating all
demands of Indian capitalist class. Ok, let me tell you which Indian company
would benefit by this decision. Anil Dirubai Ambani Group of 2G connections,
Reliance Power and Lanco Infratech would stand to benefit.
International
commerce and forex market is dominated by Dollar, Euro, and Pound Sterling and
what made India elevate Chinese Yuan to that level, without thinking about our
own currency?
Dollar
and Euro almost represent world currencies. World finance reserves up to 65%
are in dollar and Euro holds 25%, such being the case why India wants to carry
Chinese Yuan on its shoulders to elevate its status for benefitting few Indian companies?
Time
for common global currency had arrived. If globe is one village it should have
one common currency. You are accepting kilo and tons for weight and liter for
liquids, why not a common currency? Who prevents it?
TERRA
which is equivalent to 30% of gold, 2 kilo of grains, 200 gram of meat, 1 litre
of wine,3 kg of steel,200g of cotton and wool, 200g of copper, 10kwh of
electricity and half hour of labour is the common currency of future. Accepting
such common currency would eliminate transaction costs related to trading of
currencies. It would do away with the need to maintain forex reserves. It will
do away with currency risk benefitting foreign investors. More than that it will definitely eliminate
the chance of currency failure which would make foreign investment decisions
much easier in emerging economies.
Economists
opine that such a country would in one go eliminate the problem of current
account deficit as there would be no need for foreign exchange. Loss of national
monetary policy would imply single interest rate, say scholars.
Instead
of working towards global common currency Manmohan Singh sings praises for
Chinese Yuan, it is unpatriotic and unnecessary in current times when world
should move towards Terra, single common currency.
Tamil
mathematics would calculate one out of eight lakh fraction as least denomination per
Kanakathigaram, Tamil classic of Sangam age about which my book Tamil
Civilization carries an article. We are calculated in our steps, as Anna told,
we know our height. But your government is faltering in its steps.
Hence
Tamils have right to advice Manmohan Singnomics is not good. A politician
should know something about everything and everything about something, our
leader Aringnar Anna had defined a politician. Give up your China-mania; go for
Indian equal supremacy in global politics.
