  <![CDATA[Senior BJP leader and Prime Ministerial candidate L.K. Advani has said that India would witness &quot;positive changes&quot; in various fields after the next parliamentary elections. &quot;Just as the winds of change swept across the United States, I have no doubt that India too will witness changes after next parliamentary polls,&quot; he said.

 
&quot;Besides being an African-American, the US President-elect Obama was born to a Muslim father. This was, until recently, unthinkable in the US. In contrast to this, India has seen its first Muslim President Dr Zakir Hussain, as early as in 1967, when the memories of partition were still alive.&quot;

Do you think India's most problems would get solved if Congress monarchy is removed?

Is it justify that Advani compares the BJP with the kind of change in USA?]]>

  <![CDATA[The global financial crisis is in effect the American problem, exported under the ideological garb of globalization and effectuated primarily through the financial sector integration of various countries to the American financial sector. As someone put it brilliantly, the sub-prime crisis is actually the 'American loan mela carried out with other's money.' Till date, if American prosperity acted as an engine of global growth, from now on global economic recovery will follow American recovery. Naturally, the elevation of Barack Obama as the President of America and his ability to clear up the mess within the US -- which the world believes would act as the elixir of economic recovery across continents -- explains the fixation of the entire globe with these elections. Put pithily, world economic recovery is linked, in more ways than one, to the American recovery.

Obviously, the trillion-dollar question remains. What are Obama's prescriptions to fix the global economy? 

How does he propose to deal with the global imbalance caused by flawed currency valuations? 

How does he seek to fix the lack of confidence in the US economy -- and by extension the global economy which is in a state of unprecedented crisis?]]>

  <![CDATA[Speaking at a function held in Mumbai recently to felicitate Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh on his Government completing four years in office, Kamat had said Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray should be put in jail for supporting the sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, arrested in connection with Malegaon blast. 

The blast case is being probed under pressure and attempt is being made to brand people as 'Hindu terrorists', Thackeray, who had last month demanded that troops be sent inside mosques to flush out Islamic militants, said. Stating that he had never been afraid of being arrested, Thackeray asked the government to clarify whether he would be arrested for supporting Hindus in 'Hindustan' or for thwarting danger to the Marathi pride in Maharashtra. &quot;Whenever Congressmen have feats of Muslim appeasement, they dream of my arrest&quot; Thackeray said in an editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana'.

Do you support Mr. Kamat's demand? 

Whether Bal Thackeray is provoking violence and violators?]]>

  <![CDATA[Extending its support to Malegaon blasts prime accused Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Uma Bharati's Bharatiya Janshakti Party (BJS) today offered her a party ticket to contest the upcoming assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh. Sadhvi's custody has been extended till November 17. BJP leader L.K. Advani, the opposition leader has distanced BJP and RSS from the Sadhvi. He claimed he had no knowledge as to who Pragya was till now.

Do you think that police have arrested Sadhvi and her two associates only to protect real terrorists? 

Do you agree that Pragya should not allow to contest election?]]>

  <![CDATA[Calling the current global financial crisis &quot;abnormal&quot;, and admitting that it had impacted the Indian economy, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Monday asked India Inc to refrain from &quot;knee-jerk&quot; reactions like lay-offs. The prime minister's comments came against the backdrop of a analysis by an apex chamber last week -

 
but withdrawn later - that seven industries including steel and IT were looking at 25 percent reduction in job cuts over the next 10 days.
Do you think layoff is the proper medicine in coping with the effects of the global crisis? 
Should the govt needs to open up its treasury and create avenues for employment and also rehabilitate the employees discharged by industry?

  <![CDATA[The Bank of Japan cut its benchmark interest rate for the first time in seven years on Friday, joining earlier moves by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks to blunt the global financial downturn. The bank’s policy board voted to lower the overnight lending rate between banks by 0.2 percentage points to 0.3 percent,
 
reducing borrowing costs to rekindle growth in Asia’s largest economy. The bank also seemed to confirm fears here that Japan was heading into recession by lowering its growth forecast for the current year to around zero, citing higher energy prices and weakening export demand. Bank officials have said they feel hard pressed to find ways to coordinate with the Fed, which cut rates earlier this week, and other central banks in combating the downturn. The eight members of the policy board were split four-to-four on the cut, with the bank governor, Masaaki Shirakawa, casting the deciding vote in favor.

Would this help Japan to stop heading into recession?

Would it help the global economy to balance?]]>
