IRRIGATION CANALS: GUJARAT Vs MAHARASTRA

Sardar Patel Irrigation Canal, Gujarat... full of water for farmers!

75,000 Crores Irrigation Scam in Vidarbha has taken 28 years for this Irrigation Canal to still remain incomplete....

 

 Sardar Patel Irrigation Canal irrigates even the Saurastra Region!

In the last 28 Years, billions have been gulped by politicians...

 

Almost all the Irrigation Canals in Gujarat are full of water!

 

The White Paper by CM Chavan has vanished into thin air...

 

Green fields all over Gujarat is indeed thanks to this lovely Irrigation Canal!

 The Stark Reality of Maharastra... Tribal Farmers in Melghat still dig wells with bare hands and minimum tools...

 

Water from River Narmada has been tapped nicely by Sardar Patel Irrigation Canal!

 Korku Farmers (three in numbers) in Melghat Area of Vidarbha in Maharastra take three to five months to dig wells with bare hands...

 

In Gujarat, Water for Irrigation and Electricity for farmers are free!

BHUTAN ALL SET TO BECOME THE FIRST ORGANIC NATION

Stooping to conquer … Already an overwhelmingly agrarian state,

"Bhutan is already called the poster child of sustainable development. More than 95% of the population has clean water and electricity, 80% of the country is forested and, to the envy of many countries, it is carbon neutral and food secure."

"Stooping to conquer … Already an overwhelmingly agrarian state, Bhutan is aiming to become the world's first completely organic country.
Bhutan plans to become the first country in the world to turn its agriculture completely organic, banning the sales of pesticides and herbicides and relying on its own animals and farm waste for fertilizers.

But rather than accept that this will mean farmers of the small Himalayan kingdom of 1.2 million people will be able to grow less food, the government expects them to be able to grow more – and to export increasing amounts of high quality niche foods to neighbouring India, China and other countries.

The decision to go organic was both practical and philosophical, said Pema Gyamtsho, Bhutan's minister of agriculture and forests, in Delhi for the annual sustainable development conference last week.

"Ours is a mountainous terrain. When we use chemicals they don't stay where we use them, they impact the water and plants. We say that we need to consider all the environment. Most of our farm practices are traditional farming, so we are largely organic anyway.

"But we are Buddhists, too, and we believe in living in harmony with nature. Animals have the right to live, we like to to see plants happy and insects happy," he said.

Gyamtsho, like most members of the cabinet, is a farmer himself, coming from Bumthang in central Bhutan but studying western farming methods in New Zealand and Switzerland.

"Going organic will take time," he said. "We have set no deadline. We cannot do it tomorrow. Instead we will achieve it region by region and crop by crop."

The overwhelmingly agrarian nation, which really only opened its doors to world influences 30 years ago, is now facing many of the development pangs being felt everywhere in rapidly emerging countries. Young people reluctant to live just by farming are migrating to India and elsewhere, there is a population explosion, and there is inevitable pressure for consumerism and cultural change.

But, says Gyamtsho, Bhutan's future depends largely on how it responds to interlinked development challenges like climate change, and food and energy security. "We would already be self-sufficient in food if we only ate what we produced. But we import rice. Rice eating is now very common, but traditionally it was very hard to get. Only the rich and the elite had it. Rice conferred status. Now the trend is reversing. People are becoming more health-conscious and are eating grains like buckwheat and wheat."

In the west, organic food growing is widely thought to reduce the size of crops because they become more susceptible to pests. But this is being challenged in Bhutan and some regions of Asia, where smallholders are developing new techniques to grow more and are not losing soil quality.

Systems like "sustainable root intensification" (SRI), which carefully regulate the amount of water that crops need and the age at which seedlings are planted out, have shown that organic crop yields can be doubled with no synthetic chemicals.

"We are experimenting with different methods of growing crops like SRI but we are also going to increase the amount of irrigated land and use traditional varieties of crops which do not require inputs and have pest resistance," says Gyamtsho.

However, a run of exceptionally warm years and erratic weather has left many farmers doubtful they can do without chemicals.

In Paro, a largely farming district in south-west Bhutan, farmers are already struggling to grow enough to feed their families and local government officials say they are having to distribute fertiliser and pesticides in larger quantities to help people grow more.

"I have heard of the plan to turn everything organic. But we are facing serious problems just getting people to grow enough", said Rinzen Wangchuk, district farm officer.

"Most people here are smallholder farmers. The last few years we have had problems with the crops. The weather has been very erratic. It's been warmer than normal and all the chilli crops are full of pests. We are having to rely on fertilizers more than we have ever had to in the past and even these are not working as well as they initially did."

Dawa Tshering, who depends on his two acres of rice paddy and a vegetable garden, says that for decades his farming was chemical free.

"But its harder now because all our children are either in the capital or studying. Nobody wants to stay, which means we have to work harder. It's just my wife an myself here. We cannot grow enough to feed ourselves and take crops to the market, so we have to use chemicals for the first time. We would like to go back to farming how we used to, where we just used what nature provided."

But in a world looking for new ideas, Bhutan is already called the poster child of sustainable development. More than 95% of the population has clean water and electricity, 80% of the country is forested and, to the envy of many countries, it is carbon neutral and food secure.

In addition, it is now basing its economic development on the pursuit of collective happiness.

"We have no fossil fuels or nuclear. But we are blessed with rivers which give us the potential of over 30,000 megawatts of electricity. So far we only exploit 2,000 megawatts. We exploit enough now to export to India and in the pipeline we have 10,000 megawatts more. The biggest threat we face is cars. The number is increasing every day. Everyone wants to buy cars and that means we must import fuel. That is why we must develop our energy."

Agriculture minister Gyamtsho remains optimistic. "Hopefully we can provide solutions. What is at stake is the future. We need governments who can make bold decisions now rather than later."

2012 - THE YEAR THAT IT WAS !!!

For the ‘Journey of Destiny’ the year of 2012 was a mixed bag of various emotions and experiences, as it has been ever since I started on the 12^th of March 2010. The year was also remarkable in many ways and the never-ending crisis surely taught me a great deal about important lessons of life.

They come one by one, oh so consistently!
Like waves hitting the shores, oh so constantly!
I am amazed how the bubbles vanish every time!
Coz all I do is flow like a fish in the Ocean of Love!

20^th December 2012

There have been some amazing Beautiful Angels, who flew from various parts of the world to help and support me at various stages of the ‘Journey of Destiny’. I am truly-truly grateful to every single Beautiful Angel, who came forward to help and support me selflessly all through the journey and they still are doing everything possible to strengthen the movement with their undying efforts.

Since the last two years (2010 & 2011) I have been involved in various activities, that I really yearned for the much needed break to rejuvenate self. The perfect opportunity came when my friend Satpal Singh arrived from New York for his niece’s wedding in Punjab in February. I was so excited because we were meeting after many years... my joy soon turned out, to be a nightmare at the lavish wedding party. It was difficult for me to relate to the outside world and all I witnessed was wastage of so much of food all around at the party... depression set in and like a baby I was crying to return back to Wardha. My friend didn’t stop me and all the way to Tundla, he kept inquiring me over phone about my well being. I am blessed to have such wonderful friends in my destiny and I thank Sai Baba to send me a few of them to take good care of me during the crisis.

On my way to Wardha from Punjab, I made a short halt at Tundla at one of my Beautiful Angel’s (Palak Jha) house... Palak and her doctor husband Pavan Patrick have been a great support in multiple ways and their rockstar kid Duggu is my favourite. I was heartbroken and they did lift my spirits while I was eager to be back in Wardha at the earliest. They consoled me to be strong and control my emotional trauma by being positive. The Little Angel Duggu surely diverted a great deal of my depressive mood with his angelic antics.

For a whole one month, I was wondering how can we humans, be so insensitive to splurge at various parties with so much of wastage.  All the while I was missing my friend and on the 30^th of March, all of a sudden I called him and said, “I am coming.” He said, “You are always welcome.”

I was once again in Punjab and my birthday was a memorable one with my friend’s families and relatives... everyone showered their love and blessings... while the world was missing me on Facebook. It was an overwhelming experience to get so many wishes from all over the world.

This time, I met some amazing farmers in Punjab and had some valuable interaction with them to understand various crisis that are plaguing Punjab farmers. Satpal was returning back to New York and once again while returning to Wardha, I had a brief stay at Tundla and Delhi. Palak gave all of Duggu’s good clothes (short for Duggu) for village kids.

The Trust’s bank account was opened finally. Well-known Architect-Designer Prem Nath has been very kind ever since I started the ‘Journey of Destiny’ and generously he donated a sizeable amount. Angels like him are rare to find and his humility is personified in the most humane manner. Finally, when I went to farmer widow Aruna Jivan Barade’s house at Salod, she wasn’t expecting me at all... thinking I was like everyone else, who just promise and do nothing.

I am glad that Sai Baba has led me to her family and support one of her three children with a 7-Year-R/D Account, so that in future it will come handy for daughter Sheetal Ramji Barade’s future education. Bank Manager of IDBI Bank Wardha, Vikram Gokhale has been a great help... and through all the beautiful angels out there, I am glad that Sai Baba chose me to be the medium between the ‘haves’ and the ‘haves not’. I am truly-truly grateful to each one of them... for all the help, support, blessings and prayers.

The Third Year June 2012 to May 2013 has been and is certainly still a very challenging phase of the “Journey of Destiny”. Once again it was time to get the TEN BEAUTIFUL ANGELS to support and help me financially for a year... they all flew from all over the globe in their own amazing ways... I wish to have a special mention of the two Beautiful Angels of last year, Ankit Tulsyan and Palak Jha, who zealously extended their yearly contribution for the third year as well.

Out of the Ten Beautiful Angels, four of the angels faced their own problems and I am indeed very sad about their problems. I prayed to Sai Baba to solve their problems and take good care of them. They couldn’t support me with their monthly help in time and this created more problems for me to sustain on real grounds. And to make matter worse or say good my laptop of four years collapsed. I never had any savings with me and whatever little was left, had to be taken out to sustain self. I also wish to thank here Shreyas Talpade and his kind hearted wife Deepti Talpade, who sent me out of nowhere with some financial help. This timely help helped me to buy the new laptop in October finally with two of my good friends’ help, who helped me with the required loan for the laptop.

The problem surely was the blessings in disguise and I had to find the solution to my problems. Worries haunted me day and night and the only option was to find a job at the earliest, so that I am able to survive, save a little, pay back the loan of my friends and raise some funds for the villages’ children. In November, I floated my resume to all my friends in Bombay and in the last week a sweet angel Remona helped me. I got my first call for an interview. December saw me getting the challenge to develop a new magazine on Architecture and with the blessings of Sai Baba, I became once again the Editor.

The Trust – “support 4 suicide farmers families, Wardha” - was given the much needed 12 A Certificate from the IT Commissioner Nagpur for Tax Exemption for funds raised by the Trust. The process for 80G Certificate was completed by my kind CA Jagdish Chandak, who has been a great help with all his support and kindness.

Finally, I had to move to Mumbai once again to continue the “Journey of Destiny” as the EDITOR of EPC World Media Pvt Ltd’s new magazine ARCHITECTURE & AESTHETICS. A new beginning from the 1^st of January 2013!

The “Journey of Destiny” continues...

THE ‘JOURNEY OF DESTINY’ TAKES A NEW TURN...

They come one by one, oh so consistently!
Like waves hitting the shores, oh so constantly!
I am amazed how the bubbles vanish every time!
Coz all I do is flow like a fish in the Ocean of Love!

20^th December 2012

The ‘Journey of Destiny’ takes a new turn as the year 2012 is all set to end... Just like my Sai Baba made me to shift to Vidarbha in 2010 April, once again the need of the hour was to find a job, to sustain my own existence. I owe this great gift to my TEN BEAUTIFUL ANGELS of the Third Year – June 2012 to May 2013...  Four of my Beautiful Angels unfortunately faced individual problems (I am extremely sorry for your sufferings), due to which they were not able to support and help me on a regular monthly basis. The crisis to sustain self without the Ten Beautiful Angels’ help and support was becoming difficult for me and to increase my crisis further more my laptop of 4 years started giving me trouble.

I was definitely in deep crisis because whatsoever little savings was left with me (never had a treasure), was soon exhausted to meet my monthly existence. I also had to buy a new Laptop and requested my friends to help me out. Here I wish to thank Shreyas Talpade and his wife Deepti Talpade for being really sweet to send me some more help. As always in every crisis, Sai Baba has been very kind to send me Beautiful Angels... they arrived and in the first week of October, I bought the Laptop. The crisis deepened and all the while I remembered my Maths Teacher’s words – “Every Problem has a Solution!” Solutions are done in simple steps to solve the problem.

The simple steps of solution to solve my problem was to find a new job, so while I will work to earn enough to take care of my little monthly expenses, repay my friends’ help, save a little for self for my future and accumulate some more funds for the affected farmers’ families I am supporting in Vidarbha. This way I will be able to support more children of affected families...

I did approach a big farmer in Vidarbha for a job in his farm... fortunately he didn’t give me the job as destined. I have learned a great deal during my early struggle in Bombay in 1999 that “Every ‘NO’ leads you nearer to the ‘YES’!” From November 2012, I floated my resume, forwarded it to known friends in Bombay. Finally, a sweet angel came in rescue and helped me get the much required interview. And in the last week of November, I got the required call for the first interview on the 8^th of December 2012. The interview went well and I was asked to develop a concept for a new magazine by the Managing Director of the Publication.

Meanwhile, the Trust’s 80G Certificate needed my presence in Wardha for the interview with the IT Commissioner on the 20^th December 2012. Once again, I was in Wardha to complete the appointment. On the other hand, I got the call for the final interview in Bombay on the 22^nd December. Deep down in my heart, I prayed to my Sai Baba to kindly help me so I can serve more affected families’ children in villages by earning more.

From the beginning of the ‘Journey of Destiny’ I have been writing that we, as human have no control of whatsoever – thoughts or action – in life. It is the Supreme Power, who controls everything, including what I am writing and what you are reading. HE connects all of us in HIS ‘Thread of Destiny’. We are all HIS creations!

On the 22^nd December, the interview went well and the MD offered me the responsibility to head his New Magazine from the 1^st of January 2013. I thanked him with gratitude for being the amazing angel to offer me the much needed job. As I was walking down the office, I thanked my Sai Baba for being so-so kind to help me as HE always do! Yes, I am just plain happy!

The simple steps of solution to solve my problem, was to find the job and Sai Baba has been too kind to lead me, where HE wants me to be. The crisis had, and has always been blessings in disguise. Yes, we humans always do panic during such times. However, this particular time, I didn’t panic and knew my Baba will show me the way to find the solution to lead me to a better place at the right moment. Now, it is the time to raise more funds with my own hard work to support more children of suicide farmers’ families.

I must really thank my TEN BEAUTIFUL ANGELS of the First, Second and Third Year for helping and supporting me selflessly, so I was able to put in my best of efforts on the real grounds. I also wish to thank all the friends – known and unknown, old and new – friends from all over the globe, friends who have guided me with great insights and ever encouraging words, prayers and blessings, love and affection – from the bottom of my heart.

Without money, one cannot help the affected families and my life changed ever since I thought to help some of the affected families... while I learned various invaluable lessons on the real grounds... the crisis surely has led the ‘Journey of Destiny’ to take a new turn for a better tomorrow.

Sai Baba bless all you kind souls always and forever, for being with me all through the ‘Journey of Destiny’...

The ‘Journey of Destiny’ continues...

WELL-PLANNED GENOCIDE THROUGH FDI

This is Why Manmohan Singh wants FDI in INDIA?

More GM Foods to be sold in Indian Market so that more & more Indians will suffer from CANCER / NERVOUS DISORDERS / AUTISM / ALZHEIMER / KIDNEY FAILURES / HEART ATTACK and many more deadly diseases...

CARGILL - the US Based Agri-Giant to invest Rs. 500 Crores in India....

 

 

More GM Corn, GM Soya, GM Sunflower, GM Wheat, GM Rice, GM Cooking Oil, GM Pulses will be flooded in Indian market for Indians to consume, get crippled for life or die pre-mature deaths...

Well-planned GENOCIDE Mr. Corrupt PM !!!

GOVERNMENT MISLEADING THE NATION WHILE HELPING THE CORPORATE

Foodgrains Surplus is predicted by the Agriculture Minister...

 

Statistics are manipulated to show the figures...

Foodgrains worth crores are reported in the media to rot in the Open Storage Godowns of FCI...

Import of foodgrains continues to increase year after year...

Hunger still continues as ever... with percentage of the poor increasing year after year...

Fertile land is shrinking at an alarming pace allover the nation...

Farmers’ Community is losing numbers as many of them have either shifted to urban cities or else sold their land...

THINK ABOUT ALL THESE HEADLINES... and you will wonder, how the government of India is actually misleading the nation with statistical claims...

It is a well-known fact that Punjab & Haryana the Foodgrain Baskets of India has been facing low yield per acre because of various agriculture related problems, majorly because of heavy usage of Chemical Fertilizer, Pesticides & Insecticides... depleted groundwater has made farmers from Punjab to migrate in states like Madhya Pradesh and Maharastra and even in Africa... And, with millions of hectares of fertile land being acquired by the Government for SEZ, Thermal & Nuclear Power Projects, Industrial Zones, Educational Institutions, Essential Infrastructural Projects and not forgetting the Housing Projects, Commercial Property like Malls, Hotels etc... the total agricultural land is shrinking at an alarming pace.

So how can the foodgrains yield increase?

Statistics are often manipulated by various departments of the government... and this was confirmed by the then Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee... So one wonders as to why the Government is misleading the nation while helping the corporate, all in the name of Economic Growth.

As per the Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, the insensitive Indian Government  allows foodgrains worth 58,000 crores to rot every year in FCI Open Storage Godowns... and these are highlighted only for a few days by the electronic media (obviously to divert the nation’s attention from serious political issues) and then... the nation’s government doesn’t even bother about such a huge quantity being allowed to waste under government machinery.

Needless to say, it is the well-laid plan of the government, so that the kith & kins of various political leaders, who own liquor distilleries, can buy the readymade material for making high-end liquor at the cheapest rate of Re. 0.60 per kilogram of rotten foodgrains... When the Supreme Court admonished the Nation’s Government about such a callous attitude and ordered to distribute the excess foodgrains to the hungry & poor... the Agriculture Minister said – ‘The Government is buying wheat @ Rs.15/- a kg and so cannot distribute it free.’ The Prime Minister Manmohan Singh even said – ‘Supreme Court cannot ask the Government about Policy Making and the SC should not interfere.’ The Government cannot distribute the excess foodgrains to hungry & the poor, but will allow it to rot, and sell it at a loss of Rs. 14.40/- per kg to liquor barons...

Callousness at its heights...What economic theory is this?

The poor tribal villagers of Tembhali in Maharastra satisfy their hunger eating Imli ka pata (Tamarind leaves) 20 to 25 days a month... and the nation’s Prime Minister doesn’t even bat his eyelid... instead goes on to give them UID...

If our nation, as claimed by the Agriculture Minister and the Prime Minister, is producing foodgrains in excess (in spite of less fertile land)... then why is the nation importing more GMO foodgrains from various countries and exporting our pure Organic foodgrains to other countries? India is the largest producer of pulses in the world, but the ironic fact is that we, as the nation also happens to be the largest importer of pulses from various countries producing GMO pulses in their industrial farming. These imported pulses are not labelled as GMO Products... and it is these GMO foodgrains, which are actually crippling the nation with Cancer, Diabetes, Neurological Disorder, creating high Mental Stress, Heart Problems, Kidney Problems and diseases that were unheard of a few decades ago.

With the rate of the pulses skyrocketing week after week, the poor has escaped the GMO foodgrains... as one can find it is the rich & the famous, who are more suffering from the dreaded disease of Cancer and other deadly diseases...all because of GMO foodgrains that our nation’s Government is importing from other countries. Prices of every foodgrains has been and is increasing at an alarming pace... one wonders how will the poor survive? I was shocked recently on my Bombay trip, to find the common man & poor’s delight the Vada-Pav selling @ Rs. 10/- .... two years ago, it was selling @ Rs. 6/-... it also shows that one who is savouring Vada-Pav in Bombay is actually not a poor man’s delight any more...

First the dal and now the Vada-Pav have been stolen from the poor man’s plate... sweets, fruits, milk, curd, vegetables are all out of the reach of the poor... so in what ways are the Government’s claims true that we are producing more foodgrains??? It is a common economic theory that when there is excess of any good, the rates fall... but, the corrupt governance under the corrupt economist Prime Minister has made everything costly and the escalating cost of food items are killing everybody, including the middle class... so the poor!!!

Well, who really cares for the Poor?

With fertile land shrinking at an alarming pace, how can the produce increase in totality?

What logic is this?

Farmers’ Community is also losing its population because initial investment of farming has increased multifolds – seeds, fertilizer, pesticides, insecticides, labour wages with uncertainty of nature’s fall (rain) – the farmers don’t get a good rate when the harvesting season arrives as traders’ lobby along with the Government Agencies manipulate to decrease the rates of the harvested crops... many farmers have shifted to urban cities shunning farming to survive... and there are many, who have sold their land either because they were acquired or by force by the State Government for various corporate projects.

FDI: THE DEMONIC MYTH THE SYSTEM IS CREATING

One of the first lessons in ECONOMICS I was taught along with many students in school was – Whenever a foreign company or a foreigner invest in other nation’s economy, the company or the individual will take away the Nation’s wealth to their / his Nation to benefit. Thereby, it will be the loss of the Nation whereas a foreign company / foreigner will benefit to increase their / his nation’s GDP / wealth.

 

I was also taught about the “Brain-Drain” and India as the nation has lost a great deal because talented intelligent Indian brains are serving the foreign countries more than they have bothered to serve their own country. Every now and then we hear or read that Indian doctors are doing great work in foreign countries, majority of the IT workers in the Silicon Valley in the US are Indians, Scientists, Engineers etc etc are gaining great recognitions abroad and we, as Indians are quick to shout aloud – ‘Sunita Williams is of Indian Origin; Such and Such Indians are part of the Curiosity’... well, the list will go on and on... How silly it is of us to be proud of someone else’s country’s progress and success to claim the credit?

Foreign countries have been very intelligent to offer citizenship of such talented brains... simultaneously to save their countries’ wealth and have the best brains to serve them. By offering their citizenship, they actually have restricted the Indians and other nationals to send money in their respective countries for the respective countries’ economy to benefit.

Our corrupt Prime Minister is an Economist... and I wonder how on the earth, he has forgotten these simple lessons of Economics? When a foreign company will invest $ 1 Billion, but obviously, they will take away $ 51 Billions of Indian money from our Economy to their Economy... it is not a rocket science or something really difficult to understand. And with the Economy of the foreign countries in doldrums, our Prime Minister is actually helping their Economy while selling our Motherland and Nation’s Wealth so that our Economy loses everything.

Ever since the Government announced about the FDI, I have been reading various views and opinions of various columnists and I am really surprised that no one has written about the simple Economic Theory... everyone has been speculating and hyping the issue that FDI will benefit the Nation... I wonder, how will the Nation benefit from FDI? FDI is the Demonic Myth, the System is creating like all other Myths... to benefit the Political Circle, Government Officials and the few Rich Corporate Companies to suck the last drop of blood of the billion plus population of the nation.

In the whole world, India as the country is perhaps the RICHEST COUNTRY, because:

We are the largest consumer of Gold in the World;

The highest number of SCAMS (More than 120 Scams that I counted in one week's time to finally give up making the list), the Manmohan Singh Government has given birth to, worth zillion & zillion of dollars in mere 7 years;

We have the largest deposits of Black Money in foreign banks (obviously, other countries are enjoying at our expense) as compared to any other nation in the World ;

We have the Largest Temple treasures in the World;

Just to name few of the realities of Indian Economy... so one wonders as to why and how the FDI can benefit our country on the whole? When we have so many billionaires in the nation, how come they cannot serve the Nation’s Economy to create job opportunities to benefit the countrymen, when these billionaires are investing in foreign shores to create job opportunities for them?

Over the past few years (10 to 12 years), we have seen the Mall Culture invading the Urban Cities of India... but, they are fast collapsing in cities like Bombay... Malls which opened with great fanfare in the early 2000, have shut shops... except the eateries in the Malls, none of the shops are really making money... almost all the foreign brands are selling thier products in descounts and Sales...Reid & Taylor is a passe brand, so is Scullers, Benetton etc etc...

I am more concerned about the Agriculture Sector... and I wonder how on the earth, the majority of marginal farmers will benefit from the FDI?

Will the foreign companies invest in Irrigation Infrastructure to benefit the farmers of the nation to complete the decades old projects at a faster pace?

Will the farmers get to buy cheaper seeds, fertilizers, pesticides because of FDI?

Will the farm labourers’ scarcity be solved by FDI?

Will the Wages of farm labourers increase because of FDI?

Will the FDI build storage godowns for FCI to store all the foodgrains that are being allowed to rot in the Open Air Storage (worth billions of rupee)?

Will the FDI solve the problems of the PAPs (Project Affected People) to give them maximum compensation?

Will the farmers get a higher MSP (Minimum Support Price) for their produce from the market because of FDI?

The ‘answer’ to all the above simple questions is the big “NO” ! In fact, the farmers of the nation will lose more fertile lands because of the FDI... they will lose more money because the FDI is going to squeeze all their hard earned money through various means and products... more cheap Chinese goods will flood the market... my friends in America say, “When you enter a Mall or Big Store Chain like Walmart... one can find 90 to 95 % of Chinese manufactured goods...”

Well, I am an ordinary Indian and I know for sure that FDI will take away my nation’s wealth to their respective countries. FDI will only benefit the Rich Corporate Companies, who will tie-up with foreign companies to further fill their coffers... FDI will benefit the corrupt politicians and government officials to fill their already filled coffers... instead of progressing as a nation, we are in fact going back in time, when the British Traders were welcomed by us... to rule us for 200 years... taking away all our Nation’s wealth and treasures...

No wonder, when a foreign lady is holding the reins of the nation, the Motherland will be bound to be sold to other countries... 

Even the uneducated farmers whom I interacted with are much-much more intelligent than our Economist corrupt PM... they all say - "All our nation's money will go to foreign land..."
