 Its their time to Enjoy
Azhar Kazmi  |  Argues in support of  "Rich has to Donate"  |  2 years ago
Giving and sharing must require a certain attitude to develop first. That attitude is based on the perception one has of money. If money is seen as a result of one's own effort and to be used for self, there is less philanthropy. If money is seen...

Chintan, I will say it is their time to enjoy. We have no rights to compel them to donate, because contribution is onces own wish. It is his money and he can do what ever he wants. There is no point comparing with the other people. If we start...

Sheetal Bhandari  |  Argues in support of  "Due to Poor Infrastructure"  |  1 year ago
Your point is valid but then it is their choice they can give donation to whomsoever they want and they feel like. Perhaps it has nothing to do with infra or corruption (I don't know how corruption came to your mind as a reason).. It is just their...

Why ca n’t we contain Inflation which other developed nations find it easier to do?   Inflation is the general rise in price levels. It is matter of previlages and authority that is mismatched that lead to loss in value of the currency which had been our problem for long where our currency now is so undervalued and is loosing it as a pattern for long time. It all emerges, let us forget about the standard routes of raising rates or restricting money supply or even creating autostabilizers there is a fundamental reason why we have inflation far beyond what may be required by our growth and employment. Suppose if one get an electric connection, one need to also buy an inverter to get sustained power. If one need to buy a car one need to also spend on extra demand of services every  half year.

Why China And India Don't Get Along January 4, 2011: India-China ties are set to enter treacherous waters in the coming months. This is clear from current Chinese attitudes, wherein China favors Pakistan at the expense of India. For example, China is selling a one Giga watt nuclear reactor to Pakistan and is determined to ink a civilian nuclear energy cooperation agreement with the country which has for years indulged in nuclear proliferation. China has been demanding visa applications from Indians living in Jammu and Kashmir (wishing to travel to China) but not for Pakistanis in Pakistani Kashmir. This makes it clear on whose side China is. Against the backdrop of many serious differences, the visit by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (December 15-17) was expected to lower the temperature. It did not; instead it only exacerbated the Sino-Indian fault lines. Wen’s talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on December 16 failed to produce any dramatic results. The good thing...
