Bharat Bandh, or for the convenience of foreign audience, India Shutdown (A literal translation) has been called by the VSP (Vishwa Hindu Parishad) and BJP on 03 July 2008. I know it won’t make sense to a lot of people in the world when it comes to the concept of bandh or shut down. In the era of web journalism when people can voice their voices on Internet media we are still talking about Bharat Bandh.

I know I am not an authority on this or any political issue but I think I can have an opinion and according to me it’s ironical that we stop or at least hinder work through out the country. Is that a right way to protest or for that matter even retaliate.

The bandh has been called after Jammu & Kashmir government revoked land allotment to Amarnath Shrine Board. The VHP also demanded scrapping of subsidy on Haj pilgrimage.

I leave it for my readers to comment on this issue.

More news is awaited on this.

The move to launch youtube in India could be because India is a big and growing market of Internet users and anything from Google is widely cherished by Indians. It would be stupid if any political or religious nut head would question on the launch and would want to create and issue out of this. We all know what all can happen in India.

As far as the strategy of the company goes for the launch specific to India I don’t think I’d comment on that.You can access the Indian version of Youtube at Youtube India.

I am not sure if these statements are an effort to curb the problem of identity crisis that Mr Bush and his official are suffering from. Probably they are too worried about the declining value of dollar and are frustrated and make such comments. The good thing for US government would be to look at factors internally which might be causing the dollar crisis.

I am no expert in talking about economic factors and factors that affect the inflation in a country, but I think if one were to think logically, then the best solution is to clean your house first and then think about cleaning the locality. Perfectly applies to Mr Bush!

How about considering the per capita consumption of oil in US and in India. Commonsense! India in the so called words is a developing country and hence the need for products and service is bound to grow. For US the so called developed country they are already developed and they should find a way to reduce their consumption of oil. I am sure without having support from studies I can say that the consumption of oil in US is going up by every year. If US boasts to be a developed economy, then they should find ways of curbing their dependence on oil.

My remarks are entirely towards the childish statements of My Bush and his government and not to US as a country. I don’t think I deserve a right to question the people of a country. So next time Mr Bush and his officials should think a little before they speak.
