Made in Italy ....

So finally it has been proven that  

"Almost all Italian products have proved costlier to India,specially when they come via Congress Govt"

Here we are not talking about the famous Italian Apparel Brands like Gucci,Prada or Armani this in reference with the recent chopper scam that has been brought to our notice ...Well of course one cannot deny the fact that we are so used to these things that it has become a regular daily dose of our newspaper, I think there should be a weekly column or a section in the news paper that should be permanently reserved for the news like these (scams)  I am quite sure that section or the column would always be occupied but nevertheless one cannot ignore this as well....The deal was worth 750 million euros for the 12 choppers that were to be used to ferry the VVIP's .Well the ride has just become costlier and probably the VVIP's would have yo wait more ....   

Quite a controversy this scam has turned out to be as it now not only involves the political party at stake but also put the patriotism and the loyalty of the Gandhi family towards the nation .....Clearly the Bofor scandal and this Chopper scam have turned out to be similar types of scams that have endangered the national security .Recent media speculations states that the Bofor  scandal involved an Italian company and this time to the same has happened 

On a further note India is the world's largest weapons importer and has a long history of corruption in defense deals. A multi-million dollar scandal in the 1980's over the purchase of Swedish Bofors artillery guns contributed to an electoral defeat for then-Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, of the Congress party.It seems to me that the history might repeat itself this time as well . 

"The helicopters which even the US found expensive were bought by our poor nation for our VVIPs, " was quoted by Mr Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party ...sadly if this is true then our politicians and the government owe an explanation to the country as to why the tax payer money is being misused...??

32000 Feet High or Rs 17000 crore Low ??

Quite appropriate is the above comparison as this reflects the true condition of the India's commercial Airlines .Currently this is the third year since 2009 that IA has incurred huge losses In the current financial year 2010-12, the Indian airline industry will make a net loss of around Rs 12,500 crore against an estimated loss of around Rs 10,500 crore in 2010-11 and RS 9000 crore in 2010-2009.Its quite early to say about the figures but seeing the past performance and the current scenario I am quite sure that in this case the figures posted now shall be achieved full fledged or they might improve i.e it shall surpass the estimated figure 

Now A days our daily dose of news comprises of scams and frauds in multiple crore figures ,but in this case there seems to be no scam or  fraud so why is the aviation industry has posted for the losses consistently for the third year ?? India is a country of 1.2 billion people and people usually prefer to take the train route than the plane. With a powerful railway network at comparatively cheaper prices, the Indian Railway is the lifeline of the country. It is but a natural thing that people care more about Indian Railway passenger fares than the airlines. Airline is the only logical way to go abroad. Air India primarily caters to the foreign destinations Apparently there are n number of reasons for the same but as to what would be the real cause that has led to the huge public loss and finally who should be blamed for this huge mess the Aviation Ministry or the Government .The answers seems to be indefinate but the reality is that currently the Indian airlines is in a bad shape and need immediate attention and funds .The huge losses are because of high taxes on fuel and rising operational costs. Moreover, cutthroat competition in the sector prevents airlines from raising ticket prices,but on the other hand the private airlines are doing no better we can take up the example of the Kingfisher Airlines owned by the Liquor Baron Vijay Mallya ,who is trying hard to keep things up because its on the verge of lock out any day . In fact Kingfisher Airlines, as expected, has posted the heaviest loss among the listed carriers Other private airlines like Jet Spice have also posted huge losses .Quite unfair is this to the aviation Industry .The possible question that arises now is that What had gone wrong with the AI ?? and What now should be done ?? 

Essentially there is a need of strong recovery plan that could help to bail out the IA .Starting with the very basis the worth of the potential profitable routes should be identified and appropriate steps should be taken so that these routes are used to gain profits .Also there is a huge mismatch in the aircraft deployed and the potential of the traffic on that particular route .The study found that in the A320 family aircraft used on domestic routes were also  bringing in losses. Eight such flights did not even meet fuel costs,68 others just met fuel costs but not the overall cash cost and 46 others were meeting cash costs but not total costs. For the same aircraft family being used on international routes, 17 such flights were only meeting ATF costs but  not cash costs. This is quite critical as these flights are a sure shot loss investment because they might not be able to pay of there jet fuel prices because of the seats going empty  What a waste of both the infrastructure and the potential .??. One more reason for the huge losses are because of high taxes on fuel and rising operational costs.Taxes constitute 40% of an airline's total expenditure against the global average of 32%.This seems to me a total lack on the aviation ministry part.Had there been a proper record and audit the IA might have been able to meet the operational costs .

Interestingly are the so called reasons given or stated but to me this seems to be a sort of decoy to escape the real reason behind the mess.Poor performance was due to lack of freedom in deciding aircraft deployment; foreign carriers getting multiple points of access within India and carrying away traffic; and Indian private airlines concentrating on Delhi International Airport as an international hub.To sum up all the above the Indian Airlines Blame every body else for its losses and blunder except itself .Prior to liberalization the IA had the monopoly over the profitable routes but now it faces a tiff and stern competition with the private airlines in domestic as well as in international routes .

Its true that the business of airlines is a very profitable if managed ,governed and improvised effectively.For several reasons only few public sectors in  India show profits ,rest all are either in loss or die in scam .Looking at the current situation i can probably say that now only few options are left with the GOV .Simple bail out package will not do in this case as it is not similar to the Satyam scam Perhaps one might be the Privatization of the IA . This was a huge success in case of the the British Airways which is now a world airline .The other  solution might be to go with the FDI Policy that the GOV has proposed.Till now I was a strong Non-Supporter of this policy but now  it seems that this might be the only cure or rather I should say only way to bail out IA

Middle Class of segmented India that make up the masses ...

Almighty created man as one but in modern times the so called society has been segmented into a number of classes .These are classified on the basis of many reasons popular once being income ,caste creed or color. The one such class that make up for the masses in India is the Middle class Some might differentiate  us by income or some might casts us on the basis of thinking or so called mentality but Nevertheless we make up the major part of the population in India .The middle income households in the rural areas are constituted by large farmers and small entrepreneurs and salaried government employees.Middle class section has turned out to be a rather dominant section over other sections in recent times

Being a democratic nation whose Ideologies should be based upon equality and freedom  India seems to have chosen a different path .Our daily dose of news comprises of scams forgery and much of a chaos. However we are very much use to the same but it is rather unpleasant and sad .India has a large population (1.2 billion +) which is great if you have a product to sell. On the downside, India has a very large
population.Probably now I can think of the  fact as to why the foreign nation so keen to invest in India one recent example would be the FDI policy issue .

Being born and bought up in a middle class Income family it gives me a perspective or rather an approach towards the conclusion that we middle class people "First save well and Then spend well" .The foreign nations calls this approach to be conservative but no doubt this has helped us during the time of the recession Saving first is one of the major objectives that is taught to us right from the very beginning we start earning .
I can think of no better reference other than mine own as I was well advised by my parents specially my father that one should always save a part of salary as saving ,and a part for investments that would yield in future .This was seemingly tough and difficult at first but it has now become a part of my life and it feels good to have few thousand in account and growing on which i can bank upon during he time of difficulty or probably they might help me in setting up my own business which i intend to do and that is for sure .

With some few examples I can try to answer as how the people in Indian spend ??what do they spend on and what do we prefer over different choices ?? Seemingly India is a developing nation and with this global acceptance there are quite a viable and big market in india...Like as said before India has a large population (1.2 billion and plus) which is great if you have a product to sell.

I am sure this might be the simplest of the examples of them all . In India the most popular mode to travel is by the railways .Although we have options of airlines and private vehicles but the most popular mode is by the rail which is also cheapest and convenient ..Apart from the fact being a cheaper mode of transportation this has proven to be a boon in disguise for the metro cities like Delhi Kolkatta and Mumbai where metro rail or commonly known intercity link trains have made travel much convenient avoiding all traffics . Also another example would be the number 1 selling vehicle in India is not a car but a motorcycle The number of two-wheeler sold during the same period was 11.2 million units.The average sales of these two wheeler increase in the festives seasons like in months of October and November during Diwali ..  Likewise if we look up the four wheeler sales statistics in India i can conclude that nowadays there is a significant rise in the sales of car like Alto Swfit and Wagon R etc.These are not the luxury cars or SUV's but these are classified as family cars .Compared to the sales of the luxury cars or SUV's the demand for these  family cars is very high (We can see that form the recent incident when there was a strike in the Maruti Maneser plant .The strike had led to huge losses and all that lies now is a huge waiting list .People who were excepting there car to be delivered on this Diwali have to wait till the new year )We do have a market for the Audi ,Benz and BMW but they do not make up well in overall sales chart as compared to  other countries like China USA Europe

          Now it seem that I have started to have a glimpse of the phrase I stated earlier
                              "First save well and Then spend well" in the starting"

The country's growth is largely driven by its domestic demand. This is fulled by a growing middle-class population, young consumers, and rising incomes. Middle-income consumers are estimated to rise at a dynamic rate in the coming years creating a  diversified market for global and domestic producer. Similarly, India has one of the youngest populations in the world with a median age of 23 against the global average of 33. About 200 million youngsters are expected to enter the workforce in the next decade. As India enters the sweet spot in its demographic experience, its rising productivity and burgeoning markets will be a major global growth engine.

Is FDI A Necessary Evil ??

Union Cabinet has decided to permit Foreign Direct Investment upto 51% in retail sector.For sure this was a hot topic of discussion since last December  but I do'nt forsee this to be a step towards economic growth.Passing of such a policy has paved the way towards the gradual drifting of the monopoly on the retail sector to the Foreign companies which shall reap the benefits in coming future

For sure this policy promises economic growth and development now but keeping in mind  a long term approach I forsee this to be an evil in disguise .It has far more long term negative effects on the economy .We as Indian's do not see this to be in favor of the country rather this to be similar than setting up of  East India Company disguised as FDI  (I am possibly referring to companies like Walmart and Tesco who are much inclined to set there base in India with the help of this policy) .This has far greater negative consequences in Future as if now the this bill is for cities where the urban population is more than one million, hence it is quite certain that after having conquered the retail sector in the metro cities the same shall also be passed for the non metro cities and towns so in anyway or the other we shall loose the retail sector to the foreign companies. Although this ensure growth and jobs now ,but has long term negative effect on our economy. Probably one must analyze the possible outcomes before making any decision ,and to  me this bill indicate the same as it poses some disastrous outcomes in the near future .

It is quite a fact that India need new infrastructure facilities,refrigeration technology,transportation,engineering  etc.For sure this bill promises the all of above but at a price over retail sector.It has also put up another  question that rather  than comprising our retail sector for the interior growth why should the Indian gov take up the charge to improve all ?? This should be a fair acceptable challenge and should be well sorted out and planned rather than depending on the Foreign Investment

For nations like usa uk ,who have trillions of dollars in cash reserve foresee india as a nation with immense of opportunities for investment purposes .For them this FDI seems to be a way to counter the global down slide. By investing in INDIA they not only ensure there future but also monopoly over it .Gradually with a strong hold in India they might have a chance to enter Asia retail sector as well .Probably this might be the only way for sure as it appears to me now.However i do see this policy as a success in the field of aviation owing to the fact that this sector in India  requires funds as it is quite in loss .The FDI policy in this sector shall ensure many companies investing heavily thus giving us opportunities and jobs .

Our country is headed by an educated economists ,but i do not consider this to be a wise decision taken by this government although the  UPA leaders are very much hopeful that if FDI is allowed in retail sector, millions of job will be created and poverty of Indian rural folks and farmers  will be eliminated or at least help in reduction of poverty of India.

Here It is worthwhile to mention here that the Walmart which originated and prospered in USA failed to create considerable job opportunities in USA and Tesco which has its root in Europe failed to create even a lac job opportunity in Europe . West is facing an acute problem of unemployment and financial  crisis .By adopting FDI in retail India is going to invite a chain of  problems,existing retailers or the local KIRANA stores will be reduced to zero and local vendors will soon make up for a better part of the unemployed force in India.

So now it becomes quite clear that overall this FDI policy  is not a win win approach but rather a fail attempt which has compromised the retail sector in India

India the land of Scams

India Is impossible to understand ,and now it seems I have given up the faith that i shall ever be able to understand .It has been a fortnight since we celebrated our 65th Independance eve where at the the red fort Dr Manmohan singh boasted of our growth and prosperity to have achieved new heights .But the truth is that our country is facing an acute problem of frauds and scams ..Uptill now we have witnessed scams that sum to thousand crores like the once CWG and 2G ,but here is presented before us the mother of all scams 'Coal-Gate', which is a multi billion dollar scam known to be the biggest in the history of India .

Since Independance India has witnessed all sorts of scams in all sectors  these include political, financial, corporate and others. The country has witnessed n number of scam whose total net value cannot be estimated yet .The large scale corruption has compelled me to think for the fact that what is it really that takes for a person to cheat on other and do such a loss to the masses If there were to be a contest to see which country has maximum number of frauds and scams to its credit ,then surely it would be India who would have  won the Nobel Prize for that .To sum up,it has been estimated that India has lost $1,456 billion in Scams since Independence.If that money to have been utilized for the general good and strengthining the country, I am quite confident that India would have been a world power by now.That was just the sum up of all the scams that have been  brought to our notice ,some might have not been disclosed yet .The total estimate is far more than the one which has been calculated above .Now I wonder what might be the actual amount in either cash or kind of total worth scams that has occurred since Independence which as has brought to us to current situation of India .Moreover not even a single rupee has been recovered nor has been the accused ever convicted by the judiciary .Although the cases are still pending but to date no one has been accused yet .this seems to a sort for practice with the nation that the accused roam free .To me this is clearly the fault of the Indian Judiciary system, to add further in order to prove my point i can take up one of the more recent cases the Kasab Trial. It has been almost two years since this terrorist was caught for killing people on streets of mumbai and sice then the trial  is going on and no final verdict has been given yet(I know that this is out of topic, but I wrote this to prove the fact that our Judiciary system is slow and it take years to prove the guilt).The Indian judiciary system is quite slow or rather I should say its Incompetent.I admit that it was drafted by educated people for the general good but now we need some amendments and changes to ensure that such cases are not confront further in future

Sometimes I Wonder that what is it with our Country or with our countrymen that India has to confront such situations.Is it because of the edcuation system or is it because of our multi culture or multi religion or multi language society ?? Perhaps only God can answer this question or maybe not...

In majority of the scams thst have been brought to our notice have some way or the other a politician  a bureaucrats and an industrilist involved ,having been accused of receiving some kickback based on either under evaluating or over evaluation some deals relation defense food or teleco etc as well .Certainly a fair share of the amassed wealth through these scams is given to politicians and bureaucrats for there contribution thus pulling the country backward.someone had famously Quoted this "INDIA ON SALE" which is very much true to this day 

The most of the known scams are linked with the defense sector .For sure this is one of the potential business gov undertaking sector in India where the gov spends billion of rupees annually  Some defense deals that have turned into scams were the jeep scandals in 1948,or the famous Bofor scandal that include the well known politician and then India's prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.The most news that gained spolight was the Tatra Truck deal which was quite controversial and had involved the Army General chief V K Singh and some top military personnel also.The Army General chief V K Singh resigned after have being told that he was offered a bribe from the swedish automobile firm to which he denied .It is quite obvious that the gov expend a huge amount of money on the defense annually .For sure we cannot risk our national security .A huge amount of money is involved in these defense deals,some corrupt politicians and businessmen manipulate such deals for which they receive a kickbacks in as favour thus threatening the national security in a way 

Systematic loot of Indian resources since independence by industrialist in connivance with politicians and bureaucrats have also happened to have made us confront some of the mining scams as well .The recent once being the Coal Scam which is classified as the mother of all scams and is valued to be 1.86 lakh crore .The coal ministry was then controlled by the PM itself , and it has been brought to notice that some 155 coal blocks were allotted to companies at an under valued prices thus causing loss to the nation. This was brought to notice by the CAG chief and some 10-15 companies have been involved in it.The people behind the mining were regarded as too dangerous and too powerful .I was brought up with a notion that everyone is equal in eyes of law but this recent incidents have compelled me to think that there are some hand-full of people who are not afraid of anyone and it is because of them that the India had to occurred so many losses.India is rich in mineral resources, which if utilized in a proper way would lead to growth and prosperity .There had been regular illegal exploitation of minerals in the ore rich staes of the nation these include illegal encroachment of forest areas, underpayment of government royalties, conflict with tribals  regarding land-rights citation needed citing chaos disorder and huge loss to the nation .The spill-over of the effects of legal mining into problems such as Naxalism and the distortion of Indian  democracy by mixed political and mining interests, has gained international attention.Some of the scams that were brought to notice have been buried or  still pending thus citing a question that what has the Gov done to protect the natural resources from beign illegally exploited by the hands of Bahubalis netas and the  minimg companies 

Some of the country top finiancial scams include the Securities Scam(1992),Satyam Scam(2009),Ketan Parekh Scam(2001),BhansaliScam(1995) and TelgiScam(1991) Each one of the above were A class examples of corruption and fraud scam .Recent in news was the Adarsh land housing scam that happen in mumbai .The houses meant for the war heroes family were sold commercially  Most of the abv scams that have taken place keep featuring off and on in the media, but that doesn’t stop the next one from taking place since investigations and trials are excruciatingly prolonged.These have involved big money and power

Where there is big money and want of power involved there is greed and corruption.Thus there is a need for a strong law and enforcement judiciary system to keep a check on such loot .People involved and the corporation and private companies associated with these scams should be given highest level of  punishment by the law so that no further incident should happen in future .

India At its 65th Independence Day Eve

                             
Yes it is a great moment of pride for all Indians across the globe on the eve of 15th august , as we mark upon  the history our 65th years of independence.
As i was referring the news paper the day after the independence i.e 16th August ,what struck my eyes was the headline referring the fact addressed by our pm at the redfort on 15th quoted as "Treat slow growth rate as national security issue" ....Is it really true that slow growth rate should be referred as a positive sign for national security ?? well the answers to this is quite a irrational one or rather confusing i should say For a matter of fact this might be the only answer to all the questiones which are put before our present government
that what we have actually achieved after 7 years of political stability .Yes i am refering the fact that it has been 7 lean years since Dr Manmohan Singh (UPA) was elected as our PM  and now he is Currently undergoing his  2nd term as Prime Minister....the statistics suggest that with him as our pm India has  witnessed a growth of 6.8% which account for a huge success in both social and economic sector .And also it is quite true that globally we are being recognized as a one of the major economics sector.... Although my  ability to interpret the stats and figures regarding the growth or downfall in any sector and in terms of  economics,are quite limited to be specific till 10th class only(i took economics as an optional subject in class 10th ,but left it due to its hard terminology and data interpretation) but i shall try to interpret  few of those in this blog  .

While reading ahead the next column on the news paper the next highlighted headline was that "CWG Probe makes no headway in 2Year's"...Ah ..One cannot forget the so called commonwealth game played in India few months back as they have provided us with much amusement and controversies to this date, it had been a topic of great debate and confusion among countrymen and government .Now it has been quite a long time  since these games were played,outcome of which has been quite controversial.People have forgotten the number of medals we won, but what remain in there memory is the figure of money in crores which was looted during those Godforsaken hours .One famously Quoted that event as "INDIA SHINING OR INDIA LOOTING".Perhaps this looting was classified as a peaceful one,unlike the one that happened on the streets of Great Britain few months back that engulfed the whole little island.(I used the word little in comparison with the size of India).To show that we care for India the government took some responsible steps, arresting some people,probing an inquiry on the managing committee ,but nevertheless it has been two year since and on the contrary  we all know that these are some unaimed temprorary measures to provide a sense of assurance to people.Not only this how can i not forget to put up the 2G Scam episode.well scam was one its kind which is not resolved yet .With this scam there was quite a scalable loss running into Billions Dollars occurred to the country
This loss has proven to be one of the biggest scams that rocked the nation more than anything else if compared to.For sure that scam has discouraged some of the future foreign investments that would have helped in economic growth as this scam has portrayed a coruppt image of India Globally The country witnessed a glimpse of so called Organized Crime which involved many gov ,business and media personalities involved in this .this scam has come up as one well sorted out organized crimes where reigns are controlled by many businessmen , beaurocrats and bahubalies Seemingly this has brought to us the fact that there are some in the corporate world to who are doing the illegal thing ,promoting corruption on a very large scale .Since then trial hve been done against the accused but no final verdict has been given on that . To sum up the whole of the stories above  i.e 2G scam and CWG probe the PM at the red fort said "We are taking the strictest possible action in cases of corruption that have surfaced. These cases are sub-judice and hence I will say nothing more on this subject"...To me this seemed to be a sort of formality to assure the people that they have not forgotten the issue and we are on it till it is resolved .....But we all know the end result of it

It is well versed among the people that corruption has been a subject of great concerned that need atmost attention .For a government which is governing 120 crore people it is impossible to go for the public opinion on any major political issue .For such an issue a committee should be established which shall lay down the principles and procedures so as to counter the growing corruption ...This might be one of the solution which shall ensure a better future for the country  in the coming year's

Uffffffffff........it seems I have said quite a lot on the negative aspect hence now i shall take the privilege to talk about our achievements so far this year . Looking into a brighter side ,I can conclude the fact that there had been a significant growth in the agriculture sector  which is the backbone of our nation...The production of food grains has been at a record level. Wheat, maize,  pulses and oil-seeds have all seen record levels of production. It is because of the hard work of our farmers that today there are proposals for export of food grains, sugar and cotton. The problem of rise in the price of  food grains can be controlled by rise in the productivity level ...and also we are on the verge of our second green revolution which will surely contribute towards economic growth .So was the development in the fields of education and health ..The government has promised that no child shall be left behind ,all will be provided with primary education .  Also we did quite well in the recent summer Olympics  in London ,although we only won 5 medals in overall tournament ,but nevertheless it has paved the way for future development  in the field of sports by the Indian government

Its was Quite evident that the Lokpal bill had to be a subject of the PM Speech ...I am very glad that this topic was also spoken for in front of the nation with a desire to implement it .In his speech the pm has made it clear that we need a  strong lokpal bill that should cover all the difference in the opinion regarding it .Thus it has proven to be one of the positive aspect in the Kings Speech that has at last assure us that we are on our way to make a corruption free India

Lastly I would like to quote the words spoken by our PM at red fort before ending the speech "It is not an ordinary achievement  for our democracy with a population of 120 crore and so many religions, languages and cultures to march rapidly ahead on the path of development. I congratulate the people of India on this achievement. But we must ensure that inequalities do not increase even as we develop rapidly. We have embarked on a journey to transform our huge and diverse country through rapid development. A development which benefits every citizen of  the country. It is natural that tensions would sometimes arise in this process of change. In a democracy, such tensions also become issues of political polarization. We should endeavor that even as political parties oppose and engage in debate against each other, the pace of our progress does not get  affected...Let us all resolve to build a bright future for our country".....

JAI HIND   

Anna Hazare -The Man on the Edge ..!!

Perhaps it was an unusual Thursday evening I was going back home, enroute at Rajiv Chowk metro station where i found something strange and unusual among the crowd .Well it was not that we had won another cricket match or another medal at London Olympic or people wearing Gandhi topi ,shouting slogans in praise of Anna hazare which by the way was something i had been witnessing since the day Anna went on fasting at Jantar Mantar.There was a sense of victory or rather i should say an achievement among the people which could have only puzzled me The only thing i could figure out was  that something went on the unusual way resulting in something which was never meant to happen in a right way ....I know that i am a fool to have think of the fact that the government has bowed down to the Anshan(Fasting) by anna hazare and has agreed to accept the Lokpal bill..but probably that was the only think that came into my mind ...by the time i was in the train ,under curiosity  i took my cell and went on to have a look on the latest news and to my utter amazement it all came up-to me with a surprise that ,Anna has decided to call of the Anshan and has decided to make a political party to finish the corruption from within the gov by being a part of it ....

Well that was something that i could have never thought of in a million years ..It seems that India is nearly impossible to understand and so does the Indians ..At one time the movement which spread in the whole country like a plague, was put to a halt by a conclusion that it is a waste of time and moreover the new direction of the movement was to make a political party and contest for 2014 elections .I do agree the fact that the end result of the movement till now were not significant and that this new decision will surely bring a new hope to the people ,but it has also made us clear that we have to go a long way to achieve what we desire .It took sometime  for the Team Anna Hazare to realize that it is impossible to end corruption by mere fasting or protesting against government .To root corruption out of the system, one has to be part of the
democratic process, and change the nature of the beast from within.

Once the team anna have formed there new party they shall very much be entitled to question the system and take decision but my question is from where shall Team Anna raise funds to contest for the election .As far as the popularity is concerned we cannot deny the fact that this is once such movement which has gained much popularity and audience right from mountainous tips of Kashmir to southern most tip of Kanyakumari .Extending its appeal nation wide is quite tedious ,but it is necessary for longevity and continuity .It was quite a flop when it tried to expand its base in south , but nevertheless  Anna has adherent following in lakhs in northern India .This could possibly be one factor that could help them win but ,political funding is one such thing that determines the political winner .In order to contest fairly which i believe is impossible in India Team Anna requires funds ....From where they shall raise funds.....???   Is it through the wealthy people or through some online donation sort of thing (Well the online donation was a part of Obama fund rasier for campaing his presidential election ) Gaining funds through masses transparently could for sure help them in a great deal

Its a tedious journey which team Anna has embarked upon. Full of obstacles and filth. Urban middle class and young will support to some extent but what about rural and poor population which has majority. Selection of candidates is also very tricky. Existing political sharks," Bahubalis" will exploit the feeble newly born politicians of Team Anna.

I sincerely  pray that the mission on which  Team Anna is set upon  gets success in near future ......
