False Stunts from Great Leader

what makes Baraka Obama so cynic about captive centers in India? Is this because of his lack of understanding of economics or prejudiced political agenda or lack of maturity to accept globalization. Whatever it may be, he has succeeded in terrorizing the United States from this third world country. If United States decides to pull back all captive centers belonging to US MNC back to their homeland and we in third world decide to stop imports from United States, what would be the score then? Will Obama even have face to walk in the cross hall of the white house.

Few points that will help us better to form an opinion

  1. 1. The American trade deficit with India is around 12%,
  2. 2. Software Industry contribute less 5% to India’s GDP
  3. 3. Zinc, Sugar, Steel (& related items) along with precious metals are top exports of India to United States

If you understand the statements mentioned above correctly, Obama is putting his energy in wrong directions, intentional or out of ignorance, he knows better. For India, it cannot be of much concern as software exports to Europe and rest of the world continues and net impact on its GDP will be negligible. India’s IT export to USA is approximately equal to total US exports to India. Then why just target these captive centers? Why not heavy metals and precious stones which contributes to a big chunk of India’s export to United States.

Such false stunts of world leaders is hurting the economy, relationship and most importantly recovery and hope for better future. Hope they someday will realize the mess they created for gaining few extra applauses.

SRK Detained at Newark - Why I don't care?

SRK was detained at Newark airport in United States and was question for over two hours. This hit the headlines in all national news channels in India, and upset the fans and government. But why I don't care, and why should I care for SRK. This happens with thousands of Muslims who enter the United States every year. Government and media don’t react then, so why so much hue and cry for SRK. It has happened with celebrities and politicians on number of occasions in past.

If United States believes that Muslims are threat to them and Indian government don’t protest for ordinary Indian Muslims who enter United States then why trust SRK and worry so much for him. He is a Bollywood Icon – so what? Prime Minister of Australia was accused of spying, this has happened with many leaders in past. So, if it is matter of security, no discounts, detain, question everyone, when common Muslims are harassed that way then please no discounts for SRK. If government believe this is the not the way to treat SRK then so is the case with hundreds of other Indians who enter United States. Detain, question and harass just because he / she belongs to a specific religious community has been a general practice at US airports.

9/11 was a failure of FBI and other security agencies (of USA), which they now are trying to cover-up with such indecent and unfriendly manner. This can be debated but the topic I am writing is on SRK detained on arrival at Newark. I hope incidents like this brings some sanity to governments across the world and they unit to protest against such discrimination, but for SRK, I really don’t care.
