INDIA'S STRATEGIC AND BILATERAL TRADE DEALS OF CONTEMPORARY TIMES ARE IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST : THERE IS NO NEED TO SPREAD APPREHENSIONS AND MISGIVINGS ABOUT IT

INDIA'S STRATEGIC AND BILATERAL TRADE DEALS OF CONTEMPORARY TIMES ARE IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST : THERE IS NO NEED TO SPREAD APPREHENSIONS AND MISGIVINGS ABOUT IT


Dear Readers,

I come back to address all of you after approximately a month, while I was not available due to a social commitment where as I was needed to focus there in and I could not reach out to all of you except that I wrote another article only 2days back that is here in this blog of mine. 

During the intervening period of the said one month time, I have gone through various publications on the Strategic and Bilateral Trade Deals the Government of India has finalized or finalizing to be signed.  All these Trade Deals are in the National Interest, the Government of India is ensuring the protection of India's National Interest Adequately and Pragmatically, there is no need to spread apprehensions and misgivings about such Trade Deals the Indian Government is finalizing with Other Nations else where. 

The issue of Trade Deals came into the surface world wide after the Hon'ble Incumbent President of USA His Excellency Donald Trump assumed Office in January 2025, because his excellency tried to improve the situation of Goods and Services of USA world wide, as they had become quite stagnant, while USA was giving a lot of Tariff benefits ( very low import duty in USA for import of Goods and Services of Other Countries) at the same time, the Other Countries were imposing a lot of High Tariffs to USA Goods and Services in their Countries creating lot of barriers for access to it in those countries. The Stand of Hon'ble President of USA His Excellency Donald Trump has been in the interest of USA that is their choice we can not comment on it. Thus USA tried to renegotiate Tariff Deals ( i.e. Trade Deals ) with many  countries of the World those who have been trade parters with USA, and India is one Nation who has been a very Large, Strategic and Long Time Trade Partner with USA. 

Therefore Government of India has been pragmatic to renegotiate a Trade Deal with USA as a Large, Strategic and Long Time Trade Partner, by corollary it is justified and essential as well as in National Interest of India. 

It may be remembered, that when we (India ) do not maintain Adequate Strategic Ties with USA, there will be Hostile Nations who will try to maintain Strategic Ties with USA that will not be in our National Interest. Similarly when we do not maintain Adequate Strategic Ties with Russia, there will be Hostile Nations who will try to maintain Strategic Ties with Russia, that will not be in our National Interest. Similar will be be the case of Other Important Nations or Block of Nations of the World such as UK, EU Block, GCC Block, Japan, Australia, African Block or any other Nation or Block of Nations who carry Strategic Importance for National Interest of India. 

Knowing the Incumbent Government of India led by His Excellency Shri Narendra Modi Ji, the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, it can be safely postulated that while negotiating a Trade Deal with USA or any other Nation for that matter, the India's Strategic Interests will be always protected and be never be undermined. I have seen some Apprehensions and Misgivings that have come in Media from various quarters, that are not justified grumblings regarding Farmers, Foods, Agriculture, Dairy and Other Basic Goods and Services. 

A Trade Deal can never be Uni-Directional, it is Bilateral and it has to be Bi-Directional without choice. To give some examples, the products of Tree-Nuts, Processed Wines and Other such Products of Food Industry, Agriculture or Horticulture which in any case we are not producing in India and will not even produce in future, those are in any case being imported to India now, if in a Bilateral Trade Agreement the existing access already given to the Goods and Services of the Other Nation is given with a bit of Softer Stand (Tariff) to fetch a softer stand from the Other side there is no harm and that Protects the India's National Interest to be said safely. 

I have seen and read from the Public Domain that His Excellency Shri Piyush Goyal Ji, Hon'ble Union Minister for Commerce and Industry, Food and Civil Supplies, Government of India giving profuse and frequent statements and clarifications in public that the Trade Deals being negotiated with Other Nations are duly protecting the interests of Farmers, Dairy, Agriculture and the Basic Strategic Sectors of India in the National Interest and nothing to worry about it. In such a scenario there is no need for others to spread apprehensions and misgivings about it and bewilder the people of the Nation about such Trade Deals while the Trade Deals being done by Government of India with other Nations are adequately protecting National Interest and at the same time navigating to improve the Trade and Business of the Nation and the Commerce and Industry of India  with Other Nations of the World.

DR. V. KURIEN HAD SOME QUALITIES LESS PUBLISHED (TRIBUTE ON HIS DEATH ANNIVERSARY ON 09 SEPTEMBER)

  DR. V. KURIEN HAD SOME QUALITIES LESS PUBLISHED         (TRIBUTE ON HIS DEATH ANNIVERSARY ON 09 SEPTEMBER) Based on my direct experience and interaction in person with Dr. Verghese Kurien ( in short well known as Dr. V. Kurien ), popularly celebrated as the Milk Man of India or the Father of White Revolution of India, the former Chairman of GCMMF Ltd. ( Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Limited-Amul ) and the former Chairman of National Dairy Development Board ( of India) as well as recipient of World Food Prize, I honourably place few lines as some qualities Dr. Kurien had but normally less published, as tribute to Dr. V. Kurien on his death Anniversary falling on 09 September.       1.     Dr. Kurien was a highly responsive communicator: I justify by an instance. In 1989, I used to work as a Branch Manager in charge of Patna (Undivided Bihar then) Office of Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Limi...

WHEN PROTEGES DEFY AND CROSS THE PATH OF THEIR MENTORS, BOUND TO REMAIN IN SOME POOR LIGHT IN THE TIME LINE OF HISTORY

  WHEN PROTEGES DEFY AND CROSS THE PATH OF THEIR MENTORS,  BOUND TO REMAIN IN SOME POOR LIGHT IN THE TIME LINE OF HISTORY   The meaning of “Protege” is a person who is guided and supported by an older and more experienced or influential person. The older and more experienced or influential person who guides and supports for the progress of a protege is called as a “Mentor”. Most of the times, the Mentors try to project and promote their proteges to act as their successors as well. In an article published in “The Chronicle of Evidence-based Mentoring” on September 13, 2015 written by Jean Rhodes, the following 25-Top and Celebrated Mentoring examples of recent times were cited and I am placing here under the quotes: Quote : 1. Best known for her talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah Winfrey was mentored by celebrated author and poet, the late Maya Angelou. “She was there for me always, guiding me through some of the most important years of my life,” Winf...

THE MENACE OF BLOCKING AND MUTING IN SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

THE MENACE OF BLOCKING AND MUTING  IN SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS  The biggest nuisance in Social Medial Platforms today is the Hooliganism of Blocking and Muting by the Administrators. The Democratic Principles and Freedom of Speech of the Members of Social Media Groups are being attacked by vested interests. Some persons having vested interests and nexus acquire Administrator/Moderator rights in the social media groups and use that administrator rights to terrorize the members of blocking and muting.  The Administrators of Vested Interests create a group of hooligans around them to exploit the situation and realize the best returns for their vested interests. Those Administrators also create a group of their supporters by placating them by lure of various means. Those hooligans thus created by the Administrators of vested interest try to attack and intimidate the Upright and Honest members who genuinely and diligently raise voice against exploitation of the situation by th...

WRONG PEG IN RIGHT HOLE, THE DANGEROUS COMPROMISE

Image
  WRONG PEG IN RIGHT HOLE THE DANGEROUS COMPROMISE The dictionary meaning of “Compromise” is:   the expedient acceptance of standards that are lower than is desirable. In most common language, a “compromise” is a sub-optimal solution to a problem that is accepted as a settlement or by choice. There is a popular saying that; “Round Peg to Square Hole” and “Square Peg to Round Hole “ do not work. The “Round Peg to Square Hole” and “Square Peg to Round Hole “are situations of mismatch or compromise which are not standard or optimal solutions and are abnormal situations that would not work well due to gaps between the shapes of the peg and the hole in either of the cases. Both the situations can be explained by geometrical diagrams as follows, while the color of the Peg is Yellow and the color of the Hole is Red: In both the above situations there are significant gaps at four corners or four sides of the holes and the Pegs do not match exactly with the holes. The gaps are ...

DO YOU THROW EMPTY POUCHES OF MILK WASHED OR UNWASHED? THROW IT WASHED AND BE CONSIDERATE FOR THE HUMAN SOCIETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

  DO YOU THROW EMPTY POUCHES OF MILK WASHED OR UNWASHED? THROW IT WASHED AND BE CONSIDERATE FOR THE HUMAN SOCIETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT   What I am writing in this article might or might not have been noticed or considered by many, however it has lot of importance for the human society and environment at large. Only being aware of and giving few seconds to wash the empty milk pouches by water after you drain the milk out of it for your consumption and before you throw it into your trash bin or any where would help the environment and the society at large.  Kindly consider the facts I am presenting below. In India, right now about 62million litres ( 62,000,000 litres ) of liquid milk is being sold per day ( every day ) in plastic pouches which the people all around are buying on daily basis. About 70% of it in 500ml  Plastic Pouch Packing and 30% of it in 1Litre Plastic Pouch Packing. That means about 43.4 million litres in 500ml pouch and 18.6 million litre...

WIDOWHOOD HAS A LIFE WHICH HAS TO BE LET LIVE DIGNIFIED AND RESPECTFULLY

  WIDOWHOOD HAS A LIFE WHICH HAS TO BE LET LIVE DIGNIFIED AND RESPECTFULLY             I have been motivated to write on such a topic which could also be quite sensitive; since I read reports publicly published globally that during Covid-19, the fatality (death) of men is around two times that of women. It means the number of men who have died (also continuing to pass away) is twice that of women who have died (also continuing to pass away in the same ratio). That means, the number of married women who have lost their husbands would be twice the number of married men who have lost their wives and thus a large number of widows have been placed in the society during Covid-19 pandemic. Since this phenomenon came to my attention, I have been doing some research about how the people of such large number who are getting widowed would be conducting in the society, as historically a widow has a very constricted environment in the society; to operate cultural...

THE FARMERS OF CO-OPERATIVE DAIRIES OR DAIRY FARMERS WOULD NEVER DITCH AGRICULTURE FARMERS’ INTEREST

THE FARMERS OF CO-OPERATIVE DAIRIES OR DAIRY FARMERS WOULD NEVER DITCH AGRICULTURE FARMERS’ INTEREST I am a bit surprised, that repeatedly, articles and statements are being published in the internet in the name of a sitting Chief Executive of one of the Largest Co-operative Dairy Federations of India, that are quite  inconsistent with the interest of the Farmers of India, whether they may be Agriculture Farmers or any other fields allied to Agriculture. His views may be personal for targeting any interest he may have, however, I am sure his views are never representing the Dairy Co-operatives or Dairy Farmers of India. Categorically in an article published in the internet, he states that there is no MSP(Minimum Support Price) in Dairy (Milk), Fisheries and Poultry by giving a cryptic and satiric look to the   MSP prevalent for Agricultural Crops to assist the farmers growing food crops for the 1300 million population India has to feed right now. Further he says as ...

COMMUNITY OXYGEN PROVISIONING FACILITIES MAY BE THE NORM IN FUTURE

  COMMUNITY OXYGEN PROVISIONING FACILITIES MAY BE THE NORM IN FUTURE   With Covid-19 second wave taking exponential surge in India, it is the Oxygen that has been found to be the most scarce essential that is experienced in the present scenario. As per media reports, Covid-19 patients have been dying due to non-availability of Oxygen in Hospitals around the country. All around efforts have been going on at all levels whether Government, Private or Public Sectors to make medical grade Oxygen available to save lives.  The issue of Oxygen Availability has been the most daunting emergency right now in India.   Traditionally, in India, use of Medical Grade Oxygen through Oxygen Cylinders or Oxygen Tanks installed at Hospitals is the normal practice. In case of household need also in emergency cases, the Oxygen Cylinders used to be the generally workable norm. Slowly for household use, portable Oxygen Concentrators ( a small machine operated by electric or battery, ...
