Commodity called child…

The dark ages have arrived & the testimony to that is the increasing trafficking of children & the perpetrators are going Scott

free for want of substantial evidence. It is an irony that while many powerful nations boast of an arsenal good enough to blow over their adversaries many times over, when it comes to protecting their progeny, they seem to be woefully short of ideas, means & efforts.

When Tulasi Das, a Nepali child, was sold to a trafficker & sent to brothels in Mumbai, she didn’t have an iota of idea that she was about to enter a society devoid of dreams, hopes, future & ecstasy. She didn’t know that her only cohort for the rest of her life would be relentless agony. Yet she can take solace in the fact that she would have company in this journey into darkness.

India needs skilled trade negotiators who talk less.

The latest failure has sparked-off more debate on how countries like India should behave and act during trade negotiations.

Those who still feel nostalgic about the Nehruvian era (when non-alignment was a gleam in the eyes), insist that India and other countries should band together in groupings like G-20 and present a united front to the First World. There is this naïve belief that a strong brotherhood of Third World nations can compel the developed nations to see reason and accept a more equitable trade regime for the world. Unfortunately, geopolitical and strategic realities work against such an Utopian solution. In the real world, nation states pursue their own strategic interests and don’t care much for blocs and groups, if they can get their way through other means.

The best example is China. Until

recently, it was not even a member of the WTO. Yet, when it comes to trade, it has been rapidly emerging as a 800 pound gorilla that simply cannot be ignored. Clever negotiations and a mix of carrot and stick, coupled with favourable policies, have ensured that China runs a trade surplus of close to $200 billion with the United States. China didn’t achieve this success by screaming hoarse about Third World solidarity at every available public forum. Chinese policy makers negotiated quietly from behind the scenes and achieved the best possible results.

Commerce Minister Kamal Nath could do well to absorb a few lessons from his Chinese counterparts. India will be better off if he talks less about Third World solidarity and negotiates hard.

...is the government, because of whom the Naxalite problem exists

One wonders how easily these critics forgot about the billions our successive governments have had, and never invested on sincerely developing the situation of the

underprivileged... Nevertheless, Naxalism today is nothing but an organised extortion racket at best, and a bloody terrorist organisation bereft of ideology at worst, oft en using the disguise of intellectualism to hide their real motive.

So who takes the blame for this movement? Surprisingly, more than Naxalites themselves, the blame squarely lies on successive governments, who have never been able to provide productive employment, literacy, income, health services and a dignified existence to hundreds of millions of Indians. Think about it, after 60 years of so called ‘Independence’, India has 400 million poor. Naxalites have 400 million prospective members to recruit...

GM’s diesel way to trucks!

General Motors Corp. has announced that the company plans to spend $100 million in its engine plant in Tonawanda,

New York, for making a new diesel engine for light duty trucks, to enhance fuel efficiency by 25% and reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 13%. The auto giant said it will make the 4.5L V8 engines for North American pickup trucks and the Hummer H2 built after 2009. This revelation came at a time when GM, well known for its dependence on gas-guzzling SUVs, tries to bring about an image makeover and improve badly hit sales.

First blood...

Bull runs, whether in Spain or at the NASDAQ, have a very predictable

course of events… the excitement, the euphoria, as well as the bloodbath that follows. For quite a while, a bull-run led by PE firms is sweeping across markets, like a tsunami at the height of its ferocity. “In 2003, there were only 16 pure private equity listed entities with a daily turnover of more than $1 million & an M-cap greater than $250 million. As of 2007, these numbers have nearly doubled,” says David Blitzer, MD & Chairman, Index Committee, Standard & Poor’s.

The recent buyout offer for Bell Canada (a 127-year-old Canadian telecom operator) by a group of PE firms, for a whopping $48.5 billion is the latest crest of this wave. The offer is the biggest in the history of private equity, outshining the $45 billion acquisition of TXU Corp. by KKR & Texas Pacific Group, Blackstone’s offer of $26 billion for Hilton Hotels & a $22 billion bid for Virgin Media by Carlysle group. A result of this bull-run is overpriced offers with elephantine premiums. Take the Blackstone offer: it represents a 40% premium over Hilton’s closing price the previous day.

“They were killed because in the narrow jungle track the animal has nowhere to turn”

It is a war that is no longer subject to just scorching summers and consequently disappearing water-holes.

At Hajongbari village, less than 10 kms from Guwahati, a human-elephant had just happened a day back – killing two locals at the nearby Amsing reserve forest that is now being demarcated a sanctuary. “They were killed because in the narrow jungle track the animal has nowhere to turn,” says Dilip Daimari, who will now have to leave his ancestral home in the jungle, to make way for a safe home for elephants.

“Earlier, we could chase them away quite easily but with time they now stand their ground and oft en attack,” says Anil, a farmer, who has seen others’ crops destroyed by the animals. The future is ominous: there are less than 10 groups of Asiatic elephants with member count of 1,000 or more in a contiguous area, cutting down on the animal’s chances of survival in the long run, reports of an increase in population notwithstanding.

If statistics could save species, the scariest would be the one that says tropical forests that contain more than half the world’s wild species, lose 17 million hectares a year. Amsing is only one among tens of others on the planet where the elephant now stands threatened.

India needs to subtly tell China where to get off...

Yet, such hard won success once again seems to be threatened by a creeping tendency to be ‘soft ’

Sutanu Guru- Executive Editor, Business & Economy

with negotiators and potential antagonists. There is the nuclear deal with the United States, where Uncle Sam is steadily moving the goalposts and trying to stifle and choke India’s strategic ambitions. There is Australia that claims that it will not supply Uranium to India even if there is a nuclear deal with Uncle Sam, because India violates international nuclear weapons control regimes. There is Pakistan that continues to mollycoddle terrorists while claiming that terror camps have been shut down. Most significantly, there is China which brazenly announces that Arunanchal Pradesh is an integral part of the Middle Kingdom, and hence refuses to give visas to people from the state.

...the new motto of tech-world

Though IBM might be promoting it as a Green initiative

, the fact is that the whole Project Green of IBM targets to make a lot of money by helping the corporate data centres (suffering from energy constraints) with its high efficiency servers. According to analyst firm IDC, roughly 50 cents is spent on energy for every dollar spent on the hardware. This is expected to increase by 54% to 71 cents in the next four years.”

In such a scenario where investments towards energy conservation are increasing by the day, companies like Intel have also decided to initiate their own energy saving green projects. “Intel is taking an aggressive stance towards environmental sustainability, from the elimination of lead and a focus on greater energy efficiency of our products to fewer air emissions” says Nasser Grayeli, VP, Intel.

Well, with threat of global warming creating a ruckus, the only saviour for this seemingly dying planet seems to be these Green Technologies. And if technology companies are able to make money out of their green plans, there could be no reason for us to complain.
