The US President said: ”Just as an interesting thought for you, there are 350 million people in India who are classified as middle class. That’s bigger than America. Their middle class is larger than our entire population. When you start getting wealth, you start demanding better nutrition and better food, and so demand is high, and that causes the price to go up.” This was his explanation to the rising inflation! He accused Indians of eating more!!!!! Food consumption has indeed increased with rising population, but the cause of inflation is not consumption but it about food production and agricultural production, being the a magnanimous sector is not left out by the corporate giants like CARGIL and Montsana. Being a signatory of GATT and WTO we must abide by what BIG BRO ( US) dictates. This is evident by the fact that India importing wheat a few years ago!! " Everything boils down to economics"!!!!! And regarding this pro and anti P.Sainath article, All i have to say is the media is yet another sector in the swelling globalized Pro-urban indian economy!!! The media gives what sells! Fashion week sells while farmer death is not a good capitalizing theme, it does not attract corporate sponsors like lakme or any other MNC product! Well True journalism is reporting facts as it is, but in contemporary " Thomas Freidman times", journalism is an inseparably blended with western imperialism and Rupert Mudroch being its God! We are mere consumers of media dope, We pay for it, Get high and get indoctrinated! " The world is not flat!!!" " To know something, You need to be it" therefore a journalist must transform himself/herself to what he wants to know or write! Well, Saying is one thing, writing is another thing, Living for a cause and doing is a greater thing!! i hope my dear country men live their lives for a cause, noble, humane and a cause worth living for! The above words are thoughts of a great man Sitaram, who is our dear MAHA DODO!!! Live life, DO
