Whether you also save me like Afzal and Kasab ?

Now those are very old sayings when it is being often told that "Dabb ke vaah
te rajj ke khaa" [means: work hard and get better eating]. Now a days thinking
of this thing is like a sin. In today's scenario it is being told "Khada peeta l
ahe da baki Ahemadshahe da " [means: The which one ate is good, rest will not be
saved and spent in expenses].
Inflation has risen so much high that it looking like a competition of kite
s that who's kite is more high mean to say that which product is most inflated.
scenario is going in this way that things of daily needs are getting costlier da
y by day and luxury items are getting cheaper due to stiff competition. Then log
ically a saying by Mr. Shyam Jagota's [ http://www.facebook.com/shyam.jagota ] c
omes to my mind that anyhow a common wants to ask that"whether you also save me
like Afzal and Kasab ? "

The common man in this picture is saying this in a shouting tone. And if the ans
wer comes that comes very late when with the balloon of inflation many people fl
ew away. Or a promise which takes a long time to get it complete and in between
that half of the population will fly along with the ballon of inflation. i will
make you know the common meaning of my these words further, first we should have
to know about the inflation.
Inflation Rate :-
According to the figures released the inflation rate was 18.32 % on food it
ems on 25th December. It was on 14.44 % a week ago by 25th December. It was on
10.15 % on 13th November. After-all what is this 18.32 %, 14.44 %, 10.15% ? In a
layman's term it is a purchasing power of a person. This purchasing power incre
ased or decreased to knowing this is a inverse relation. Mean to say that if the
sign of a figure is positive then purchasing power is decreased. If the figure
is negative then purchasing power is increased. In more easy way we can understa
nd in this way, if it is 18.32 % or +18.32% [same thing] then purchasing power i
s decreased, if figure is like -18.32 % then purchasing power is increased. now
it can be said easily that on 13th November the inflation which was on 10.15 % h
as crossed a mark of 18.32 % on 25th December. We can also say this that purcha
sing power of a man has been declined to 18.32 %.
After-all how this comes into the picture? What are the base figures of the
se figures which determines the whole ?
The mirror is very clear. first we should come to know that how these figur
es are being determined. Actually in our country some parameters has been establ
ished to measures the inflation. Many factors are taken into consideration while
measuring the inflation but the most important factor is the BASE YEAR. The pri
ces of the base year are taken as base to measure the inflation. What happens ?
The difference of the prices from base has been taken and divided by the prices
of the base year then multiplied with hundred. the result obtained by this is wr
itten in percentage form like 18.32 %. This base year is changed time to time af
ter some particular interval of time. the base year of current inflation is the
financial year of 2004-05.
Reasons of Inflation :-
As in science their is some reason for happening or not happening similarly
economics has the reason of inflation and deflation. According to economics the
prices of the product us decided by force which is called Demand and Supply. Wh
en the demand and supply remains same in proportion then the prices reached to a
n equilibrium point. When demand increases and supply decreases or remains const
ant then prices rise. When demand decreases and supply increases or remain cons
tant then prices fall. I think this is the sole reason of increasing or decreasi
ng of prices.
Political noise and dialogism :-
According to chain the next question which comes into picture is that what
is reason behind today's inflation? is demand has increased and supply is consta
nt this time ? or supply is reduced and demand is constant ?
I don't find any logical reason of inflation in between these two. Just obs
erve, Isn't the prices can be increased with a wrong intention ? But how ? As in
economics as the supply decreases the prices rise similarly if the availability
of products in the market is being reduced or stopped then prices automatically
rises. then only that product will be sold which will be available in the marke
t at that time and on high rates. see, prices has been risen.
Now the question arises that how this whole is being executed ? There has t
o be no astonishes that this whole is done by big market player and hoarders and
earns super normal profits. Moreover political dialogues help these to execute
this whole. But how ? Just try to think on the other side of the coin, when a po
litical leader gives a dialogue that this time produce may be not good because o
f un-seasonal rain. Then isn't this a motivation to big market players and hoard
ers to stock the products in the godowns ? And in these super normal profits if
there may be a share of a Minster, there will be no doubt of being this. When Mr
. Pawar [ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sharad-Pawar/54640894806?v=info ] gives
a dialogue that the produce has been spoiled in Mahrashtra because of rain and t
he produce will remains low in this year. then isn't this a motivation to hoarde
rs to carry on their such filthy acts ? The point is that that to what degree it
was logical to give a dialogue on produced ? Does less produce in one particula
r area can make suffer whole of the country ? If there it is then can't the prod
ucts be imported from neighbor countries ? If yes, then what is the reason to ma
ke public this thing that the produce will remain low ? Now, isn't this a motiva
tion to hoarders to hoard the stock and rise the prices ?
Then after some days, the renowned economist and the vice president of plan
ning commission of India S. Montek Singh Ahluwalia [ http://www.facebook.com/pag
es/Montek-Singh-Ahluwalia/374082521410?v=info ] gives a political dialogue that
the increased prices has brought financial happiness. Our GDP is increasing and
we try that it crosses a mark of 9 % by the end of this financial year. I ask to
S. Ahluwalia that why don;t you say this that the purchasing power of a common
man has been decreased and will be continue day by day ? It is obvious that if t
he prices will rise GDP will automatically rise and also you are pointing you wa
nt to reach GDP to the mark of 9 %. It will be very good if the prices will be i
n control and as well as GDP will increase. Ahluwalia sir, what was the need to
tell public about the GDP as everyone know this fact ? It is looking that you ma
ke a dialogue just for a formality. Readers, now you tell isn't this a motivatio
n to rise the prices and hoard the stock ?
According to me the political dialogism has the highest share of making pri
ces rise rather than other factors. If this share may be 99 % it will not astoni
sh me. Even the Prime Minister of this country S. Manmohan Singh [ http://www.fa
cebook.com/pages/Dr-Manmohan-Singh/17780227654?v=info ] has told that the inflat
ion will be in control by the end of March. These are those easy explanations fo
r which I've stated upper.
Rise in Petrol prices :-
By when the govt. has deregulated the oil prices to the companies to determ
ine it has anyhow increased somehow by every month. recently its prices has been
 increased. If it is analyzed logically then we can see that there is only $ 1/-
barrel in crude oil from last year but current year's petrol prices are far far
away from last year's prices. what is the reason behind that tha is also a very
deep thing but the increased prices of petrol makes what effect on food prices
worries me. Inflation will rise anyhow.
The situation reaches to this extent that youngsters are updating these typ
e of statuses on social networking sites like Facebook [ http://www.facebook.com
] "This is the first time in the history that needs, comfort and luxuries are a
vailable on same price. Onions: Rs. 65/- KG, Petrol: Rs. 65/- liter, Beer: Rs. 6
5/- bottle."
One make a sigh of relief that diesel prices are not deregulated and the co
ntrol of this is in the hands of govt. and these are not been increased. But the
re is also a panic that whether they may not increase that in coming financial b
udget. if it does so then living of a common man will be battleground.
Then where the thing is mind of the people will come out on their tongue. "
