FDI in Indian economy

FDI means foreign direct investment. When investors from foreign countries invest in other countries, it results into this transaction. Like every transaction, we have merits and demerits for FDI in India. Indian economy is at $2 trillion size currently and target is to achieve $10 trillion within 10 years. Can FDI will help in this or not?

Talking about India's theory or perception on FDI, different groups have different views. After liberalization in 1991, we have permitted FDI in different sectors in 2000 + years or era. Now we have 49% FDI in defense, 100% in multi brand retail,, 100% in railways and many more, but still we have lot of sectors which are not open to FDI. Reasons are many, let's take on some pros and cons considering Indian economy.

Pros: 1. FDI will result into high technology which Indian sectors need very much for innovation.
2. FDI will create jobs, when our 70% of the population is under age of 35.
3. Cheap resources and control on inflation with high quality products at low prices.

Cons: 1. Effect on retail businessmen(Jobs)
2. Monopoly of high technology sectors from foreign.

Considering pros and cons, we do have lot to learn and some to lose, but in totality,FDI will help India in achieving their target of getting $10 trillion wings. However, government has also given some conditions for FDI to control their cons we discussed earlier, like for multi brand retail investment, minimum 30% resources to be procured from SMEs. 50% of the fund to be used in back end infrastructure. These measures are being taken properly by the government and new initiatives are in line to boost the economy of India.

Every government is trying to do its best and hope, current government will help the foreign investors to come and invest in India through "Make in India" campaign and with business friendly norms. India is now doing target business with more start ups and innovation is happening in every sector through government reforms.

An affair with Domestic Violence: A short note

Domestic violence plays a very crucial role in one's personality development particularly when you're on a victim side. For types of domestic violence, check: Domestic Violence in India My family faced domestic violence due to my father. I'm 26 and since the very first day, I started understanding worldly affairs I have witnessed my father abusing my mother every day. She has endured a lot. He has always been an alcoholic and a loser in his life. He married at the age of 22 when my mother was 18 and after one year I was born. My brother was born after two years. Post-1992, my father never took responsibility of my family. He was in an automotive spare parts sale and repair business in which he lost hold with time and started drinking too much as a solution to face failure. It was a daily routine of my family wherein he would come home and ill-treat my mother. A lot of times my mother tried to support him so that he could stop drinking and focus on starting somethi...

I respect my identity!

"Hey! I guess, sometimes you find it hard to understand things because you wear big cloth on your head and things don't reach your mind because of that cloth ..... " she said and started laughing. She was not anyone else but a senior professor of my college with a good number of degrees and even she has written one book.  In short, she made fun of my look, my identity, my uniqueness and my faith in a set of principles I follow. I don't want to bring any religion into this conversation because for me religion is about controlling one's hatred and accepting others in their true forms. I haven't learnt religion to pray to God aloud in speakers at 4 AM in the morning so that everyone in the colony must know what I'm doing or to hurt people in the name of God. I have learnt religion to control my inner self and anger so that my actions are not driven by my perception but better by my observations. I look different, people stare at me when I ente...
