India has stopped exporting rice, and this has led to prices shooting up outside here for whatever rice that is there on the shelves. How did it come to this? Rice shortage in India!! Food shortage has become a global phenomenon now. U.S. govt. has thrown lots of cash to help the situation, but are they not the primary culprits here??
There are many individual causes adding up to this situation in India. I could just stop by saying it is the government. But then that will be the only reason enough for every problem. There have been so many instances of farmer suicides and so many cases of farm land being procured by the real estate industry.
All because of the farmers not able to pay back the agricultural loans and not making enough profits from their produce. We need a Jawaharlal Nehru and another of his five year plans. The situation has to change.
Add to the equation the U.S. govt. plans on Bio-fuel, the Indian problem gets blown-up and fitted in to the global picture and prices rise. I am not politically oriented, but I understand the Bush govt. has accelerated the degeneration of the critically balanced world. He came, He saw the world on the razor's edge and He tried to conquer it and tilted the balance down. I want a change in the U.S. leadership.
Enough politics. IPL has been great. Rajasthan Royals have been rocking. Shane warne has proved again that he is the greatest captain that Australia never had. I did not say this, Ian Chappel did.
The brisbane tour was excellent, although the comments I received were not great. I cannot believe that 10 people got it wrong. They all thought i have become fat. It was the camera. A very average camera. Therefore, i am not putting any fotos on the blog, Sorry!
