India's problem By: suraj | Friday , 9 Jan '09 15:25:50 PM Reply | Forward India screeching to halt The above headlines, if ever a phrase pun exist, would relate to matters in the past couple of days owing to the strike by officers of the PSU Oil Companies. Indeed this is the last straw that this country needs to bring it to a complete screeching halt. Lets take the political-socio-economic situation of this great nation in the past few months 1. The economic situation on account of the financial services giants going bust in the US and elsewhere. As much as we would like to believe that we are quite insulated by this global economic meltdown, ripple effects are being felt which will reflect in the corporate India's performance in the coming months. 2. Terrorists strike in Mumbai, leaving India's financial capital bleeding for a few days. 3. Nation-wide Truckers strike. 4. The Satyam fiasco unplugged. It will take a few minutes for financial analyst to calculate how much as a nation we have lost thousands of crores of rupees as a result of all of the above.

Why always blame the Goverment?By: C Basu | Friday , 9 Jan '09 15:05:11 PM Reply | Forward Pankaj... I admit this strike was similar to a national tragedy like the Mumbai massacar.But why do you always blame the goverment (UPA) for this? I hope you are not an active politician from the opposition !!For your information, I am in not in favour of the UPA... I am just a citizen of India, affected by the present situation and very infuriated by politically inclined opinions.
