A new study shows deportation of undocumented migrants reduces housing
construction by diminishing the supply of workers needed to do it.
Another Acid Test For Democracy.
Barely noticed by the world,
yesterday was an important day for democracy!
The world’s biggest democracy,
which came under the threat of being usurped by populist and anarchists, aided
by the frustrations of an urban middle class and hyped by eyeballs hungry
media, showed the first signs of its inherent parliamentary strength and democratic
will to fight
back. After the cool breeze of Arab Spring, the tabling of the Lokpal bill
in the Indian parliament turned out to be a respite for democracy shaken by the
tremors of a harsh Indian summer!

I Just Called To Say I Love You May Be What You Want To Hear This Christmas!
It is that time of the year when
you start looking for anything which makes you feel good and forget the misery
of the year gone by. It is the time when you search for and dust off the covers
of old audio and video cassettes, nuggets of nostalgia locked up in shelves and
boxes because whether you like it or not, strains of Christmas music everywhere
fondle the weakest corners of your heart and you slowly succumb to the euphoria
of the festive season.

Why Is Anna Hazare Fasting While India Is Sinking?
The politics of wrangling and
bickering in the US
and Europe is frustrating. The consolation is that the
politicians don’t have a clue how to tackle the sinking economy and it is
difficult to judge who is right. However the politics of obstruction which has
led to contraction
of growth in India ,
which till a year back maintained an impressive
rate, despite the banking crisis of 2008, is mind boggling.
“The industrial
production saw a staggering decline in October, with a negative growth of
5.1 percent in output mainly owing to huge fall in manufacturing and mining
sectors.”

Why Is Anna Hazare Fuelling Wal-Mart Politics?
Wal-Mart, which symbolise
capitalistic enslavement for the Indians, seems to be dividing India, world’s
largest democracy, in the middle even as the Indian government is bravely defending
its decision to allow Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
in Retail, a reform which opens a market worth billions of dollars the world’s
major chains are desperate to enter.
The controversy is based on the
perceived pros of the move, strongly supported by the government in need of
urgent foreign investment to cover its budget deficit and maintain the growth
rate of the country and the cons, put forth by an opportunistic and motley combine of communists, communal
parties and the women
chief ministers of three states with over 30% of India’s population, who have
no clue of the complexities of the issue or particular reason other than their
bloated egos to object the move, claiming the government is only fooling
people.
"To
give an impression that FDI in retail will solve all problems like inflation,
price rise and unemployment... whosoever is saying this is fooling people that
FDI will get millions of jobs. It cannot happen."
