Indian citizens are continuously observing a series of ripples against the atrocious environment prevailing in India that makes a woman feel helpless, weak and dependent. However, all these ripples are gradually losing the momentum to bring about any change in the societal environment of India which certainly is worrisome. She, whose name is still unknown, was raped on the dreadful night of 16th December 2012 and she died on 29th of December 2012. However, Indians welcomed the New Year 2013 with a hope that the “government” will bring about some drastic change in the Indian legal system and Indian police and protection system that will provide better security, better protection for women in Delhi and in whole India. Those hopes were battered again when the cases of sexual assaults, rapes and crimes against women, girls, and kids kept making headlines of all major newspapers and news channels continuously and gradually, the Indian citizens were ready to accept that at the most they can perform some candle-marches and some protest marches, to add up, they may burn some police vans to show off their anger, but at the end, they will have to accept that they are helpless, protection less and …Read the Rest

Understanding Violence, Organized Crime and the Government
It is a generally accepted fact that initiation of violence is an immoral act. However, people often fail to realize what violence is and hence, they knowingly or unknowingly continue to support the initiation of violence. In order to avoid violence, the very first necessity is to understand the meaning and nature of violence. In his book Man, Economy, and State, Murray N. Rothbard offered the appropriate logical definition and interpretation of violence. Here, I am summarizing the nature of violence as mentioned by Murray N. Rothbard. Violence A person may deny resorting to violence against another person because he may realize the importance of non-aggression principle and believe that initiation of violence is immoral. However, morality cannot be the only reason behind the general acceptance of non-aggression principle. One may realize that his initiation of violence may lead the other person to retaliate and if he will attack the other person, that person may use arms against him and instead of being the aggressor; he may end up being the victim. Even if this person is strong enough to defeat the other, he may realize that in order to defeat and victimize the other person, he will have to spend much …Read the Rest
Sham of Economic Reforms
The whole political drama of opposition against Foreign Direct Investment ended today when the UPA government notified FDI in retails and mentioned that it is in majority. In my last post, I exposed the myth of economic reforms in form of FDI in retails. Here, I will try to explain more about what is wrong with this issue of FDI and how it is going to harm Indian economy in long run. I will also provide genuine ways for the actual economic reform that it could have been if our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh hadn’t acted so much intellectually dishonest. What has Wal-Mart Produced for the United States? The U.S. based Wal-Mart is world’s biggest retailer chain that is now ready to set its foothold in India. Most of the liberals and in fact, some of the libertarians are also appreciating this move and obviously, their idea is pretty simplistic, they believe some foreign direct investment is better than nothing. However, they fail to notice the effect of Wal-Mart on the US economy. When China entered the World Trade Organization, the U.S. government thought that it will be able to reduce the trade deficit with China. However, it all proved …Read the Rest
The Myth of Economic Reforms: FDI in Retail
Foreign Direct Investment in retail sector is becoming a huge issue that has caused a serious danger on the current UPA government under the leadership of Manmohan Singh, the Keynesian economist. The opposition parties has called on a nationwide strike on 20th of September and every common citizen is still wondering about what is this FDI in retails and how will it affect or benefit the common man. It should be noted that the regular slogan of current government and Congress Party is “Our Hand is with Common Man.” In my last post, I explained why FDI in aviation is actually a benefit for the big corporate in aviation sector of India and how it has nothing for the common man in general. I also explained that FDI in aviation will still prove to be beneficial because government may now feel no inclination towards providing huge bailouts and subsidies for big corporate of India. Yet, this is also true that unless the government completely disinvest its whole share in Indian Air India Ltd. and announces a general policy of not interfering with the aviation sector, it is just a fraudulent way to create another economic bubble which will burst within …Read the Rest
