खेती का अर्थशास्त्र

हम यह मानते रहे हैं कि जैविक खेती और इसके उत्पाद सीधे खेत और किसानों से हमारी रसोई में आयेंगे परन्तु अब यह सच नहीं है. जैसे-जैसे यह तर्क स्थापित हुआ है कि हमें यानी उपभोक्ता को साफ और रसायनमुक्त भोजन चाहिये; वैसे-वैसे देश और दुनिया में बड़ी और भीमकाय बहुराष्ट्रीय कम्पनियों ने जैविक खेती और जैविक उत्पादों के व्यापार को अपने कब्जे में लेना शुरू कर दिया.

भारत में पारम्परिक रूप से जैविक उत्पाद सामान्यतः सीधे खेतों से लोगों तक पहुंचे हैं. हमारे यहां हाईब्रिड और देशी टमाटर या लोकल लौकी जैसे शब्दों के साथ ये उत्पाद बाजार में आते रहे हैं पर अब बड़ी कम्पनियों ने इस संभावित बाजार पर अपना नियंत्रण जमाना शुरू कर दिया है. तर्क यह दिया जा रहा है कि जितने बड़े पैमाने पर आधुनिक खेती में रसायनों का उपयोग किया जा रहा है; उसके खतरे को देखते हुये यह सवाल महत्वपूर्ण नहीं है कि उसका मालिकाना हक किसके पास है. पर इसके दूसरी तरफ हमें यह कभी नहीं भूलना चाहिये कि आज की सबसे बड़ी जरूरत यह तय करने की है कि अनाज, खाद्यान्न और भोजन के उत्पादन का तंत्र और व्यवस्था पारदर्शी ही होना चाहिये. 

ये कम्पनियाँ बार-बार ऐसे बीज विकसित करती हैं, जिनसे होने वाली पैदावार से अगली बुआई या फसल के लिए उत्पादक बीज नहीं मिल सकते है. मतलब कि हर फसल के समय किसान को एक ख़ास कंपनी के बीज खरीदने पड़ेंगे. उन्होंने ऐसी व्यवस्था भी विकसित कर ली है कि एक ख़ास कंपनी के बीजों पर उसके द्वारा बनाए जाने वाले कीटनाशक और उर्वरक ही प्रभावी होंगे. मतलब साफ़ है कि किसान पूरी तरह से एक कंपनी का बंधुआ होगा. और नयी नीति में सरकार ने इस बन्धुआपन की पूरी तैयारी कर दी है. 

सरकार ईमानदार नहीं है इसीलिए तो उसने देश में कृषि शिक्षा को बढ़ावा नहीं दिया. यही कारण है कि वह देश के किसानों के विज्ञान से ज्यादा कंपनियों के लाभ को ज्यादा महत्वपूर्ण मानती है, इसीलिए तो वह अनाज व्यापार के लिए उगाना चाहती है स्वाबलंबन और खाद्य सुरक्षा के लिए नहीं. सरकार ने भारत में तो कृषि पर रियायत कम कर दी, बिजली, उर्वरक, कीटनाशक महंगे हो गए और किसान बाज़ार में आयातित कपास से मार खा गया. विदर्भ में किसानों ने इसीलिए आत्महत्या की है. इसीलिये तो वह देश में कुपोषण और भुखमरी होने के बावजूद देश का अनाज निर्यात करती है या समुद्र में डुबो देती है. इसलिए तो वह यह जानते हुए कि 10 लाख टन अनाज गोदामों में सड़ रहा है पर देश के के लोगों में नहीं बांटती है. सरकार ईमानदार है. 

I got a hole in my pocket

There is remarkable congruence between the aam aadmi and the world's elite gazing at India  when it comes to their most important concern about this country inflation and not corruption, is their number 1 priority.The nine per cent GDP growth envisaged for the financial year 2011-12 may remain a pipe dream unless the problem of rising prices is tackled, feel economists. 
THE BURGEONING middle class of India has been one of the main driving forces behind the rapid growth of the country's economy in recent years.However the expansion of the Indian middle class is now under threat because of a steep rise in inflation, which could hold back the enlargement of the key social group both in the short and longer term.Its large middle class population - amounting to around 200m in about 50m households, most of them with a single income earner - have become big end-users of chemicals through their purchases of housing, household items, automobiles and personal care products.

With the impetus coming mainly from higher oil prices and soaring prices for imported food, inflation is now at its highest for 13 years and double the target level set by the RBI, the central bank.

Double-digit inflation is unusual in the Indian economy, with the rate going above 10% only in the early 1990s and in 1994-95. Now, economists predict, it will remain in double figures for the rest of the year.

The sharp increase in prices, together with higher interest rates, is hitting lower income groups hardest but there will also be an immediate impact on the spending power of the middle class, which has provided the foundation for the boom in the consumer market.

India's stock market has fallen this year on fears that high inflation will scare off foreign investors.

Wages in India are also rising as workers demand pay that keeps up with the cost of living.

 

The prices of basic commodities like fuel, food, education and the interest rates on loans for durables are going up.

The average Indian is now paying more on their loans as the interest rates on home loans, As such, the middle class cannot afford those goods that they had previously been able to," . It will adversely affect lifestyle.

Improving productivity,slow the wage growth by increasing labour pool,Make sure and crub corruptions of all form,agriculture reforms are some steps to cut inflation .

Should we relay on THEM !!.......................................Fakeing brutally

In India , extra judicial killings by the police or the security forces are called encounter killings,meaning that the killing occured during the armed encounter between the police /security forces and the victim.The killing by the state forces is more often declared to be offensive,cases of attempted murder and other related offenses are regestered against the victims and the cases closed without further investigations since criminal cases come to an end after the victims death,despite unnatural .

Since October 1993, 2560 cases of police encounters have been brought into the notice of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). Of them, according to the NHRC, 1224 cases have been found fake encounters. It means that roughly every second police encounter is fake in the country. The information has been accessed by eminent RTI activist Afroz Alam Sahil after several attempts. Sahil recently came into limelight for securing the autopsy report of Batla House encounter victims.

Another interesting point the data reveals is that of 1224 fake encounters, the NHRC ordered for compensation in only 16 cases.

The petitioner filed a fresh application on 02/03/2009 and asked 7 questions including: Since October 1993, how many cases of fake encounters, communal riots/caste violence, death in police custody, exploitation of women and exploitation of Dalit have come before the commission. In how many of them public servants were found guilty. How many of them were disposed of or found wrong. And the case number of fake encounters in which NHRC has given compensation.

The reply he got from NHRC in October 2009 after taking numerous rounds of the Commission office was revealing. Since October 1993 there were 1224 fake encounters in the country. 

Fake encounters 1224

Communal riots/caste violence 432

Death in police custody 2320

Exploitation of women 4502

Exploitation of Dalit 17998

The NHRC said that out of the above, in 224 cases, the Commission found violation of human rights by public servants. The Commission had disposed of a total of 16784 such cases where no finding/positive recommendation in respect of proven violation of human rights was made.

The Mahiyaria ...whom we are proud of ...

 When Rana Sangram Singh popularly known as Rana Sanga was the ruler of chittorgarh from 1509 to 1527 .He once went to aakhet where an elephent lost his temper and ran towards rana sanga seeing this Haridass mahiyaria who was also accompaning the maharana remembered her sister devi sundar baisa ,atonce the elephant turned around and everyone was safe.after coming to fort Rana Sanga told everyone that in the jungle he saw a hand on the elephants head and thats the moment he got saved .On knowing that it was the hand of non other that "Sundar maa" rana sanga offered Haridasji Mahiyaria to act as rular of Mewar for three days as reward and gave jageer of "Panchli village".Sundar baisa and her hands are worshipped by "Mahiyaria" till today .The main temple is at "Bhildi" in Bhilwara dist.The pond there have miracle and can cure skin desises.
                                   
Kaviwar NathuSingh Mahiyaria was know to be among one of the best poets in the court of Mewar.He had written ample number of Dohaas,Sorathas ect in Dingal . His books Karni Shatak,Vir Satsai,Chunda Shatak,Haadi Shatak,Jhalamaan Shatak are still admired, Dr.Rajender Prasad the first president of India was one of the great admirer of kaviwar .When India got independence,elections were commenced . It was a coincidence that when Kaviwar Nathusingh Mahiyaria was going to cast his vote ,the then Maharana Bhagwat Singh Ji was comming out of the room after casting his vote .Showing the spot of ink on his finger he asked kavivar to comment something on the occation .Charan kavi Nathusingh ji Mahiyaria with his brillience said "Andaagal Chetak rayo,Andaagal Hindbhaan,vota main shamil wheh dagal huai mahran".  HINDUBHAN HERE MEANS HINDU+ BHAN THAT MEANS HIND+SURYA THIS WAS SAID FOR MAHARNA PRATAP.

Bhatta Parsaul .............lesser farmer's cause ,Greater Politician's Opportunity

Four people, including two policemen, were killed in an exchange of gunfire between farmers protesting land acquisition and the police in Bhatta Parsaul in Uttar Pradesh.Whole of Uttar Pradesh is burning . The agitation in Greater Noida may have stopped but the anger is still simmering among residents of Bhatta Parsaul. Villagers are extremely unhappy with the role of the local administration, which allegedly first tortured them and has now deputed teams of doctors to provide free treatment to those injured. Locals allege the measures were taken after two days of the initiation of violence, when other political parties started building pressure. 


The National Human Rights Commission, which has received complaints of human rights violations in the Bhatta Parsaul village in Greater Noida, will send an investigative team to the village.The farmers in the village are agitating for higher compensation for land taken for constructing the 156-km Yamuna Expressway, which will link New Delhi with Agra and reduce travel time by an hour.
Rahul Gandhi, who reached the village on a motorcycle in the early hours without informing the UP government, sat on dharna at the village for 19 hours before being arrested and then released have said to have build a huge winning platform for INC ,his party, in Uttar Pradesh  for the upcoming legislative assembly elections.

A day after Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi was arrested and subsequently released for staging dramatic a sit-in in support of farmers in Bhatta-Parsaul village in Greater Noida, the epicentre of protests for higher compensation for land acquired for a highways project, the volatile issue of compensation for farmland gained centrestage.As the debate intensified and unrest continued, Home Minister P. Chidambaram stepped in to promise a new land acquisition law for better compensation and rehabilitation to farmers in the next session of parliament in July.

In an unprecedented move the BJP MP Varun Gandhi has said "No politics should be seen into Rahul's dharna at Parsaul village. This is a fight of farmers and all politicians - barring BSP - cutting across party lines, including BJP leaders Rajnath Singh and Kalraj Mishra have extended their support to the farmers' cause," he told reporters here ,Slamming the Mayawati government for police firing on farmers, Varun said the days of BSP government in UP were numbered.

A clearly piqued Mayawati also hit out at Congress president Sonia Gandhi for turning a blind eye to what she termed 'inadequate compensation' paid to farmers in her own parliamentary constituency Rae Bareli, where agricultural land was acquired for a rail coach factory.

In the row of alligations on each other there are some major issues which should be raised keeping the political interest aside Land acquisition act to be amended .Proper compensation paid and rehabilitation to be done .

Between the legs..........

Integrity is one of the positive traits for an effective and good leader. Personal integrity represents an honest, reliable and trustworthy person

Dictionary meaning of integrity is adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moralcharacter; honesty.

 Tapes show that then chief minister of Uttar Pradesh Mulayam Singh Yadav and then Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh went about fixing things to their advantage.

There are conversations with politicians, top business honchos and filmstars as well.

- Amar Singh: And these sugar mill owners.

- Mulayam Singh Yadav: What if there are early elections?

- Amar Singh: These sugar mill owners, they are not political people. Whether they are our people, how does it matter to them?

- Mulayam Singh Yadav: Yes, how does it matter to them, whether the government comes or goes. The other government will give them Rs 100 and favour them

"Bipasha: : So tell me…when are you meeting me?
Amar: : Where do you want to meet baby? I have been very busy. 

Bipasha: : I don't think age really matters… Does it?
Amar: : It matters between the legs na? "

Shame shame ....thats all or shall we root them off.

We demand integrity in senior political leaders because we grant them so much power over us. But we want to trust everyone in our lives: family members, friends, colleagues and professional people. For example, we need to trust waiters and hairdressers to do a good job for us but they have little to gain by deceiving us. So, when they disappoint us, it's not as momentous as a moral failing in a high profile leader. We feel let down by integrity lapses in leaders because we expect so much of them: we want them to improve the fundamental quality of our lives.
Virtually no one is completely honest. Who has not, for example, failed to stop at traffic lights, cheated on exams, padded expenses or exaggerated achievements to look good in a job interview? Many of us have what we might call "convenient values." We live up to them only when they don't prevent us from doing what we want. So, why is anyone dishonest? Reasons are complex, but they include the feelings of being entitled to something and being able to get away with it. People in high places feel that their power makes them untouchable. Also, because there is so much more to gain by bending the rules in high places, the temptation must be enormous. Because high profile leaders are so driven to stay in power, only the rarest of leaders can put principles ahead of personal interest when they are threatened with losing their exalted status.

कुछ बदल गया..

"शहर ये जबसे शहर हुए हैं
गाँव पे सचमुच बड़े कहर हुए हैं
रातें खामोश, दिन भयभीत
मिनटों से छोटे पहर हुए हैं". बहुत कुछ बदल गया है गांवों में..

गांव और शहर का दौर अंतहीन हो गया है. कारण बहुत है लेकिन पहल उसकी तुलना में कम है. बदलते वक्‍त को हम नहीं थाम सकते .

फागुन में अब गांव में फाग नहीं गाए जाते बल्कि होली वाले दिन लाउडस्पीकर पर शहर के गुड्डू रंगीला और चंदू चमकीला अपनी भौंडी आवाज़ में छींटाकशी वाले गाने गाते हैं.साथ में होती है मदिरा और पैंट बुश्शर्ट वाले नौजवान जो भांग नहीं बल्कि बोतल से शराब पीते हैं.

बरसात में बूढ़े बैठकर अपनी बूढ़ी बीवियों और जवान बहुओं को गरियाते हैं या फिर अपने छोटे छोट पोते पोतियों की नाक से निकलता पोंछते हुए कहते हैं कि छोटा ही रह.उन्हें डर है कि पोता भी बड़ा होते ही शहर हो जाएगा.

जवान औरतें अब मेला नहीं जाती हैं बल्कि मोबाइल फोन पर अपने शहर में रह रहे पतियों या किसी और से गप्प लड़ाती हैं.घर से बाहर निकलती हैं और बूढ़ों की भाषा में लेफ्ट राइट करती हैं.

शहर कभी कभी गांव आता है. होली दीवाली में. दो चार दिन रहता है. अपने कोलगेट से मांजे गए दांतों से ईख चबाने की कोशिश में दांत तुड़ाता है और फिर ईख को गरियाते हुए गांव को रौंद कर निकल जाता है.

फिर गांव इंतज़ार करता रहता है कि कब शहर आएगा और भैंस को दाना खिलाएगा. हल या ट्रैक्टर से खेत जोतेगा और बीज बोएगा. कब अपनी भीनी आवाज़ में गीत गाते हुए फसल काटेगा और कब चांदनी रात में कटी फसल पर अपनी बीवी के पसीने में लथपथ होगा.

ऐसा होता नहीं है. शहर अब फ़िल्मी गाने गाता है. ट्रैक्टर चलाने की बजाय ट्रैक्टर के पीछे हेलमेट लगा कर बैठता है. बुलडोज़र और गारा मशीन की आवाज़ों के बीच मशीन हो जाता है. दिन रात ठेकेदार की गालियां सुनता है. शाम को अपनी दिहाड़ी लेकर कमरे पर लौटता है और दो रोटियां सेंककर सो जाता है कल फिर मुंह अंधेरे उठ कर काम के इंतजा़र में.

सब कहते हैं गांव बदल गया है.हां गांव बिल्कुल बदल गया है. अब गांव भी शहर की तरह भूतिया हो गया है जहां सिर्फ़ औरतें और बूढ़े दिखते हैं. खेत खलिहान सूखे और पानी की किल्लत दिखती है. लोकगीतों की बजाय फ़िल्मी गाने सुनाई पड़ते हैं और लोग कहते हैं अपने काम से काम रखो.
