Since last 1or 1.5 year, on every alternate day you can see the headline of every newspaper related to a common topic- the topic of PRICE RISE- everyone only blames the government for the rising prices, but, before blaming anyone, just wait for a second and think, ARE THE PRICES REALLY RISING? Every one of us has just noticed the rise in the prices, not in our INCOME, not the speed with which our nation is developing. Today every other youth of our nation after completing his Engineering, MBA, MBBS or any professional course is earning 30’000 to 50’000 monthly. And, if someone is starting his or her career with such a package, it’s obvious that his or her salary is only going to increase after that.
Many great politicians of opposition party put the blame on our government by stating examples of 1970’s or 80’s, but just tell me one thing, what was the income of a common man at that time? I think most probably, 5~6000 and now the income of a common man has increased minimum by 5 folds in last 5 decades. What about the prices? They have also increased by almost 5 folds only, hence this increase is in equilibrium with the income.
On the other hand, where earlier only men use to earn for the house and women were supposed to manage it and to look after the households now a day’s it’s not at all like that. Now in a family, both the parteners share the task equally. Now, even women are earning for their family with respectable jobs. So, considering even this, the income of a family has doubled.
So I don’t think that there’s any need to get tensed about it or to blame our government for it. On the other hand, we should thank our government for the development of our nation, which is taking place with a rapid speed. And the proof of this is that, in the last 2 months of the previous year, the heads of the so called most powerful nations of the world, namely US (also known as Uncle SAM), China, Russia and France have visited our nation. Have you ever imagined, why these nations are showing so much of interest in our nation??? It’s just because, when all over the world where everyone was facing recession our nation was showing development even at that time. So we should thank our government for all these reasons and support them for continuing the good work which they are doing. Earlier, most of the people from India use to migrate towards US or other foreign countries in search of jobs, but now the circumstances have completely reversed; Barack Obama, the head of US has visited India and asked for providing jobs to their people, due to this India has provided 50,000 jobs to US citizens. In the beginning of 2011World Bank has declared that till 2012, India will become the fastest growing nation. And when we say “Fastest Growing”, we mean growing in terms of per capita income, as well as primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of economies as well.
