Indo-U.S. Relation. Vision - 2030

India had been a friend of U.S. for a long time. Indo – U.S. relationship has always remained inevitable. The United States hs trading in  India & hence has been showing signs of interests in taking along India in defence,  nuclear and other larger aspects to strengthen the relationship. Barrack Obama, the President of the U.S., desires  India to be its partner in political and social issues. When  Mr.Obama visited India, as President of the U.S. he appreciated the education system and related value systems existing  in India. Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh joined hands with the U.S. for the first time during the tenure of George W. Bush to sign the nuclear deal. India and the United States has been considered as the countries with mutual understanding.

U.S. , Secretary of State Ms. Hillary, during her recent visit to India  highlighted three areas of co-operation

·         Trade and Investment

·         Security Co-operation

·         The  Civil Nuclear Agreement

The United States is known for its generosity towards India which welcomes Indian students to pursue higher education in their country.100,000 students are pursuing their higher education in the United States,whereas U.S. students fear to reach out to India for their education. India feels secure with U.S. under all grounds. India is welcomes many U.S. companies to commence their business links and invest in India for mutual economic growth. U.S. should also have collaboration with Indian private sector companies. The vision of Indo- U.S. relations 2030 is that both countries join hands for several vital areas agreements which will certainly enhance India and the U.S. relationship and result in  promotion of  peace in both countries and their neighbourhood. India’ should benefit from transfer of technologies in the specified areas. main idea is to maintain peace and develop the resources and technologies for a better India. President Barrack Obama by way of appreciating India, states that India  will reach greater heights as Indians are accepting turning towards  modern technologies & are putting in great efforts.

In a recent move, in order to improve Indo-U.S. relationship India modified its foreign policy to permit Foreign Direct Investment in retail as well. This policy change in retailing will bring about better prospects for farmers as we expect that these large retailers will systemize the approach in ‘Farmer Retailer’ transaction. Such systemisation will bring about long term favourable impact on the way this country has been dealing with the sale of agricultural output. Indian government has actively pursuing the issue of bringing in large investments in retailing in India.

 Indo- U.S. relationship is expanding in defence sector. The U.S. airforce offered  C130 aircraft in 2006, this proposal was accepted in 2008 and also India bought 6130 JS. U.S. actively seeks to have defence co-operation with India. India and U.S. have  always shown their integrity and respect towards each other.

India has achieved 30% growth in merchandise industry. The United States Of America wants India to be a partner in  industries such as fibre optics, building harbors and airports. U.S. expects India to be the 3^rd largest economy by 2025.

U.S. engages India in various Global Environmental & Social issues. By taking along India in such matters, India with its position of regional super power, hewlps US to take its opinion forward to the World at large. For example the Global Climate Summit was successful with India’s partnership.

The United States and India formally reengaged the U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue initiated under President George W. Bush when a large delegation of high-ranking Indian officials led by External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna visited Washington, DC, in June 2010. As leader of the U.S. delegation, Secretary Clinton lauded India as “an indispensable partner and a trusted friend.” At a State Department reception, President Obama declared his firm belief that “the relationship between the United States and India will be a defining partnership in the 21st century.”

India has the potential to take the position of a superior Global power by 2030 and the US is certainly visualising this potential. Moreover India is already showing signs of fast track growth & is a undisputed opinion maker in this part of the World. Under these circumstances, the Indo-US relationship is a bond that helps in mutual sustained growth & cooperation.

Anna Hazare And The Lokpal Bill - Corruption Part 3

The dream of India as a strong nation will not be realised without self-reliant, self-sufficient villages, this can be achieved only through social commitment & involvement of the common man."

- Anna Hazare

Anna Hazare is regarded as another Mahatma for India

   Lokpal is a Sanskrit word  which means protector. Lokapala refers to people with democratic view. The Lokpal Bill was trying to uproot since 1968 and was introduced in 1969, in order to fight corruption away from India. Later it was again drafted in 1971 which did not have any response from the govt. After few years  in 1977 it was again passed but the bill was not recognised. Lokpal tried to take a stand in Lok Sabha in 1985, 1989, 1996,2001,2005,2008 all were a failure.

CORRUPTION IN INDIA AND THE ROLE OF YOUTH IN COMBATTING CORRUPTION (Part 2)

Corruption? Corruption is a black mark in our Indian economy. It is slowly stopping the growth of our country. The term corruption is in born in the society. The word is prevalent among the politicians and government offices. Corruption is defined as a way of saving wealth for the family and for their personal use. The people who indulge in corruption are also aware of the societal damage they create. But because of their greed they become money buglers.


The concept came into existence when people thought of their well- being and not about the people, below poverty line (BPL). 2G Scam in Tamil Nadu during the tenure of Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi has blown up like a balloon and has put former Tele communication Minister A. Raja . We can shortly say corruption is a way of accumulating wealth.
Last year , in 2010 the Maharashtra Chief Minister, Ashok Chawan was held in Aadarsh Society scams for which he was chucked out from post of Chief Ministership. He accumulated wealth for his family members.
Corruption has been a hindrance for the people in villages where lack of awareness plays a vital role. Grt leaders like C.N. Anna Durai, Kamaraj, former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu,Joti Basu, leader of Communist Party   thought of the well – being of the public and worked for the growth of the state / country. These great leaders had one motive – Serve the People, Die for the People. Kamaraj was the person who introduced the mid-day meal scheme in schools, so that all children are educated.


But in the present scenario the goodness of leaders has vanished and they have started to experience the money they earn. These days leaders aim at earning money rather than goodwill from the public.



Corruption is prevalent in all fields starting from politicians to educational institutions. This prevails in small to big issues. For example ration shops where people of lower middle class come to get their provision at a nominal rates but ration shop seller sells his commodities at a high price in order to gain profit.

Youth of the society have greater responsibilities in combating corruption. Though we are aware of this phenomenon we are negligent towards this issue. We, the uprising young citizens of India should join hands as one and battle against corruption . The youth of the country must spread awareness in rural areas & make our citizens equipped with knowledge about this burning issue. Even now many citizens in India are ignorant about Right To Information.


Measures To Combat Corruption by Young Blood

1. Conduct Human Chain Rallies in public spots.

2. Have to campaign for Anti - Corruption in India

3. File cases against the local heads in the locality if they are found guilty.

4. Conduct public awareness programs on corruption in the locality.

5. Advice the common folks not to indulge in giving bribe to the authorities for it is the duty of concerned authority to proceed over the issue brought to their knowledge.



Anna Hazare is an social activist who has requested the govt. of India to pass a Bill against corruption . He was in fast for 3 long days to combat corruption in India. The Bill came to be known as Lokpal Bill in discussion with the govt. Central ministers of the country such as Finance Minister, Pranab Mukerjee , Home Minister P. Chidambaram and many other ministers where part of this discussion in regard to combating corruption. The govt. has agreed for the demand of Anna Hazare.



Support Anna Hazare for the Cause.

Youths are considered the strength of the country.
