Post mortem of CPIM Failure
1. A prolonged dynasty of 32 years. Too much self satisfied with their successive wins and consecutive entrance of troubled water.
2. Minimal development during this period.
3. No such initiative was taken to revive the closed industries.
4. The comfortable zone of the general mass has reached to the zero level. They are psychologically hammered day by day in roads, in office premises, even in their own localities. They fear to express their inconveniences as party involves in simpler to simpler aspect of life. I think this is the rare case in India.
5. Not even they clear the roads. Even if rehabilitation is given, newer hawkers occupy the footpaths and the roads. Party and the govt as a whole remain silent because of the losing of their votebanks.
6. No preference to the native people. This has proved to be a major blow for the govt.
7. No development to the north bengal region. Not even on the agri sector like tea, jute etc. Development has been meant for the city only, thats why lots of migration and the pressure to the city. They could have started reverse migration in terms of agriculture and small scale industry development.
8. The emergence of each and every sector as a CPIM political hub has been a boomerang.
9. Non participation to the central govt has caused the evaporation of general faith to this govt.
10. Somnath Chatterjee is the icing on the cake.
India moves for Congress led UPA government
This election result has so many implications.
1. Regionalism is likely to vanish from the national politics with some examples still there. This provides much relief for the congress as smooth functionaing of the govt machineries are what expected.
2. CPI(M) party certainly lost its importance in all india level politics. So many time in the last 5 yeras they tried to pull down the Manmohan govt and they dis so at last concerning the Nuke deal issue.
3. More than 60% voters below the age group of say 35 years, have chosen a stable, economic reforms taking, honest govt. Of course, the role of Mr Rahul Gandhi was crucial enough to outweigh the NDA effect.
4. In bengal, Mamta Banerjee's Trinamool congress shattered the dream of the red party as the former got 20 seats with her ally SYCI and Bengal congress got 6 certain seats.
Stock market is likely to get a happier period for the next 5 years.

Industry and Local Economy: Golden Fiber in Bengal
Jute is called as the Golden Fiber worldwide. It had a deep economic and trade relationship with India and specially with state of West Bengal. The river Ganges has provided immense opportunity to grow the jute industry along the banks in terms of water, transportation, soil, weather, cheap labour and other amenities. I am talking about this golden era of Jute Industry in the early 50s and 60s. It had grown to the level it could be.
But after the introduction of Plastics and rayon products, the jute industry and its products had been scrutinized as a new venture to invest money as well as further fresh investments. The analysis projected that plastic products are far better in terms of:
1. low production costs and thats why cheap
2. better longevity
3. easy to carry and use
4. fashionable and so on...
Jute Industry started to downpour its expansion and development in the late 80s and early 90s when Haldia Petrochemical was about to start. In addition, the famous Labour Union of West Bengal put more mobile to the path of this Golden Industry. It continued to decline and Govt. took no initiative to resist the paralysis process. At present there are almost 50 jute mills are either closed or about to close.
A Rough Calculation:
1. 1 jute mill has say 3000 workers on an average.
2. 50*3000=1,50,000 workers employed directly.
3. 4 persons in a family say.
4. livelihood of 6,00,000 people.
5. a jute mill is surrounded by a small market and lots of pop and mom stores.
6. Indirect employment of say another 1000 people.
7. livelihood of 50*601000=30050000 people
8. And the chain or the multiplier effect continues and it helps to grow the local economy as well as the economy of the state.
The Faults:
1. No or less initiatives on part of existing west bengal government to save the industry.
2. The focus was only on the Haldia.
3. Excessive spread of the labour union.
4. When the whole cake rises, the share rises automatically - couldn't able to understand this simple theory.

The History of Communism
The Ruble value had fall to an extent that food crisis began at that time. Economic depression began at the end of the Soviet revolution (around 1990). The history of communism remains same through the world, from Russia to Cuba, from Chine to West Bengal (India). Could you imagine, no Philosopher, Economist, Chemist has emerged as an worldwide figure from USSR? As because, the state is the last word to say whether be it economical, political, or any social decision. China has recently modified their ruling team. They have understood the growing grudge among the general people within the country and offered the leadership to run the country to a rather younger generation. They don't really want another Tiananmen Square

Importance of BRIC
Here lies the importance of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC in short). Almost all the transnational companies are eying to those markets. A large number of middle class consumers, business environment (free trade zone), political stability, good spending power, knowledge driven economy, everything is there in these countries. So, the companies are interested to invest in these countries after the saturated US and European counterparts.
What I would like to point out is that, India’s position is now more Eco-political instead plain vegetarian politics.

Why this Blog is for?
But the politics inside the boundary couldn't be ignored at all. In fact, the more we have an internal stability, the more we can raise our voice to the International Platform to achieve our patents, successes, and economic freedom.
I will try to share the views about the different political stances worldwide as well as for the Home.
