Write Essay on any one of the following topics. 2500 words, 3 hours.
If “world’s factory” and “world’s back office” worked together…(President Xi)
Introduction:
If world’s factory and World’s Back office worked together? This question raises many thoughts and many speculations. Here World’s Back office meant Software services which is India’s Biggest strength where as World’ Factory meant China’s Manufacturing sector. So what are propsects if these two are complemented each other in lieu with economic relations and trade. Curiously enough all the major countries are of the world are competing with each other to boost and enhance trade and ties with india and China .
Asian Century :
Many experts believe that 21 st century would be truly Asian centuries. The reasons cited for these are India and china are growing much faster . Regional associations such as BRICS and other regional groupings are gaining siginificance in neo-liberal era. Japan , China, South korea and India are also building up thier Capacitis in Energy and infrastucture and other development aspects. But among major asian economies India and China relations are gaining prominance in 21 st century despite differences between them. Chinese dragon and India’s elephant are competing with each other and complementing each other than any other major economies of the world.
Drivers of Economic Growth:
For any nation to achieve growth it is imperative to strengthen both manufacturing and services sector besides agriculture growth.
Both manufacturing and Services are mutually inter dependent on each other. In this Context how China’s manufacuring capactiy can be leveraged with India’s Software services can be seen from development perspective of two nations.
China’s Manufacturing Power:
China had been strengthening it’s manufacturing base over the past decades. It’s total factor productivity is higher than other asian economies. It has augmented it’s exports making china predominantly export oriented economy. But it has also benefited from foreign investments there by augmenting its domestic industrial base. Speedy custom regulations and quicker approvals & process for
doing business also enhanced it’s industrial business. These factors have contributed China in leading Player in “Global Manufacturing Hub ”
China’s Import of natural resources from other nations like Iron ore from India and local availability of resources making it resource rich nations when it comes to manufacturing .
India’s Software Export :
On the Other hand india has trnasformed itself in to one of the important player in exports of Software Services across the globe.
Factors Responsible for India’s Software Exports:
a) Highly skilled but cheap Labour available in Local Market.
b) Good english speaking youth available.
c)Huge Potential of Demographic Dividend since it is one of the young nations in the world.
d)Favourable investment climate for Software exports like SEZ.
Potential Areas of Co-operation between India and China:
So both India and China can benefit with each other via their strength of Manufacturing and Sofware Services. For example Indian IT Companies can establish their business in China and in the same way Chinese manufacturing industries can help in building India’s Infrastructure capacties. Chinese can increase their investments in building India’s economic corridor like Japan.
Meanwhile Indian Pharamaceutical companies can invest in China. But visa and other domestic restrictions are preventing this investments. Once these issues are sorted out it really will become true co-operation between the two.
Boosting India’s Manufacuring Sector:
Manufacturing sector is very essential for country’s growth. It is main driver for MSME(Micro Small Medium Enterprises) sector which contributes majority of employment and export sector. It is the sector where semi skilled labour can enter and get employment opportunities. For a country to become well developed country, it has to make proper transition from Primary sector to Manufacturing sector & Service sector.
But for India the transition has happened from primary sector to Services sector directly without giving sufficient attention to Industrial Sector. But however the growth of service sector it can not absorb as much of workforce since it requires highly skilled persons. So to reap the benefits the Demographic dividend we need to enhance and build the capabalities of Manufacturing sector.
In this context Chinese manufacturing strength will be a big asset to be used in developing India’s production base in various portfolios.
Role of Insitutions in Capacity building:
Though IMF, World Bank are mostly dominated and influenced by western powers, Regional institutions such as BRICS Development bank and Asian Development Bank have great influence on funding to enhance the capacities of Manufacturing sector. These institutions will also act as shock absorber against exhange rate fluctuations (like heavy rupee depreciation gainst dollar) thereby preventing import much costlier.
When domestic currency is safeguarded against external fluctuations,
India can rely on imports for raw material required for production base.
Similarly our exports will also become stable if we attain “Self Suffiency” at meeting needs of domestic requirements.
Challenges in India -China relations :
No prosperous opportunity will be without challenges. In such context there are equally challenges are ahead in relation between India and China.
Below are challenges :
a) Border intrusion by China and tensions arising thereon
b) Visa restrictions by both countries
c)Impact of Srilanka and Pakistan on India -China relations
d)China’s maritime influence in Indian Ocean and other
ASEAN region
These challenges are not easy to solve at one go. But mutual and stragetic consultations between two countries often are only the way forward to build their trust and boosting confidence with each other.
Panchaseel or “Peaceful co-existence” without interferring in internal matters of other countries will play a major role.
Impediments in Trade relations:
Delay in approval for projects from Chinese investments in India.
India is still not feasible in “Ease of Doing Business” as there are lot of hurdles in Project Implementations like environmental clearance,un necessary bureacratic delay, approvals for Constructions, and so on.
Acquistion of land and rehabalition of displaced people
Visa and domestic laws restriction in both countries.
Geo- Strategy in India -China Relationship:
In 21st century many westeren countries are concerned about
India and China with their potential economic super powers.Many nations are willing to align with India and China Since new institutions such as BRICS Development bank and Regional grouping such as BRICS and SCO( Shongoi Cooperations Organisation) are becoming very important in defence and economic related matters across the globe. So they these two nations are ironing out their differences between them and concentrating on building relationship between them they will surely become Super powers of the World within 2025.
Conclusion:
As there are many opportunities ,equally are challanges available in India -china trade and strategic relationship. So it is time to set aside differences and build vibrant relationship between two countries in 21st century. The day is not very far off when these nations will rise on the occasion as “Super Powers” in Global context within next decades.

Has Indian Society become silent to injustices?
INTRODUCTION
Our forefathers of freedom struggle had visualized an Indian Society that is full of economic, social and political Justice to curb the injustices which had its origin right from the ancient civilization. They got incorporated in the form of preamble which is the Jewel set of Indian constitution. These Jewel set can Shine only if the four pillars of our nation such as parliament, Media, Executive and judiciary implement it with full spirit. If it has to become Kohinoor diamond then our people should voice their concerns whenever the shades of justice loose it polishness. In this essay we are going to analyze how various Injustices have creeped into society and took its roots in various forms.. This essay would also bring up the attitudes and capacity of Indian society to address such injustices whenever it enters our nation
SOCIO-ECONOMIC INJUSTICE
The evolution and progress of a society depends mainly on its social and economic fronts. Whenever these values are compromised there is always a dismal state of picture that would be awaiting the society. Our Indian Society too was in such a dismal state during ancient civilization when it faced gross social injustice. The four fold classification of caste and pitiable status of women stand testimony to this. During ancient era the arrow pointed always in favour of dominating classes. But the pre Independence era witnessed a much better picture when Intellectuals such as Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ishwara Chandra VidayaSagar ,Vivekananda, Ambedkar stood up for abolition of the injustices such as Sati, untouchability and supporting widow remarriage and women’s education. Post Independence period has witnessed another new chapter of injustice. Indians started witnessing the scene where woman killing female foetus is a common picture and rape incidents diluting the sacredness of “All Indians are my brothers and sisters” .The Indian system reacted vociferously which could be proved by the examples of various laws like criminal law amendment act 2013, Vishaka guidelines ,Nirbhaya fund etc. But the vociferousness has not reached its high pitch to discard these injustices completely.
Economic injustice existed right from pre-ancient era but actually started seeing its intensity when India became a victim of colonization. Drain of wealth theory created a platform to make our suffering voices to reach empathetic people. But despite all these efforts we could not avoid the scenes of millions perishing due to poverty and famine. To remove the sorrow picture from our memory our lawmakers and Judicial wing came out with innovative legislations, rulings to avoid food insecurity. But the sorrow state of poverty and hunger continues till date. But on the other hand Our country too accounts for large wastage of food which is almost equal to consumption capacity of UK. But such injustices are not getting its due attention due to its dormant silence. One of the worst sufferers of economic injustice is the tribal community Who are yet to be fully synchronized with mainstream society. Even though solace came through forest rights act, TRIFED etc, the development and environment dilemma still make them sufferers. Jarawa tribes issue brought out by media highlighted their vulnerable situation of dancing for food. But here our media voiced its concern but remedial system still maintains its silence
ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE
India is gifted with various landscapes. Ancient Era expressed their love for nature through various beautiful poems, music etc. But once the Industrialization and colonization started such landscape began to loose its charm. In the beginning people were fascinated by profit motive at the expense of destruction of environment. This trend continued resulting in the emission of harmful gases and pollution. Domestic waste started piling and Industrial wastes add fuel to this ignitable situation. Thus started emerging health concerns resulting in life threatening diseases. Slowly people started realizing the intensity, came up with catchy concept of green. Government too made their voices heard through various legislations such as Environment Protection Act ,wildlife protection Act etc. But siren missed its effect resulting in several malaises that became irreversible. Recent disasters of Uttrakhand and Jammu Kashmir stands witness to this. Another anthropogenic factor which serves as blot to Indian society is open defecation. The land of Mahatma is witnessing such injustice to which Indian society is attitudinally silent.
POLITICAL INJUSTICE
By incorporating the principle of Preventing the concentration of wealth in few hands through Directive principles of the state policy Our constitution makers have made justice to equality. But this equality started witnessing its decline when the worst practice of corruption started to take its head. When corruption escalated its speed people started accelerating their voices. Thus was born various wonderful laws and regulations such as Prevention of corruption act, citizen charter, right to information. But still the circle is not complete due to the gross negligence of Whistle blowers. The voice of corruption is muted and silence is activated. Thus the vice still continues to enjoy its position because of the silence of good people.
The vibrant women community is prevented from escalating the ladder of power even after depicting their efficiencies at the local level. Their voices are falling on deaf ears which is depicted by the failure of enactment of 33% reservation in parliament. Redistributive justice failed and the thunders of Naxalism could be heard. Unless the society lent its ears to their injustices India would continue witnessing the scenes of bloody red corridors
GLOBAL INJUSTICE
The land of snake charmers started witnessing its transition to mouse charmers .But this transition carried with itself a venom of eaves dropping. The recent snooping gate made Indian community react sharply. But the loss of privacy could be restored only if Indian Society in corporation with other countries could voice its concern constantly. Another global factor which constantly worries Indian society is terrorism. People are constantly voicing their concerns but India’s non alignment policy in world matters and noninterference internal matters dilute its stand on terrorism globally.
But Indian feathers are leading from front regarding the plight of LDC in climate change. India is vociferously demanding the compensation for the injustice meted out to developing and least developed countries because of industrialisation .Also Indian society is never ready to accept the dominating principles against subsidies that claimed to be distorting the international trade. Whenever our poor traders voice their concerns due to dumping of goods of various countries the Indian government protected them back by suitable measures.
CONTEMPORARY INJUSTICES
Globalization era started adding many more pages to the chapter of Injustice. Some of the most notable ones are surrogacy, digital divide, human trafficking, renouncing parents, plight of widows (Vrindavan), insensitiveness of the media . Each and every issue above mentioned has varying degrees of attention paid to it. India has become a destination of reproductive tourism where our female community sell their wombs for money. Such practices are rapidly rising in India and slowly the volume of protest is also rising. Digital divide is causing inconveniences to rural India where the actual strength lies. The world is pacing at a rate where all the information are just one click away. This potential has not reached the rural people and India system is passive on this arena. Human trafficking and encouraging them in prostitution and begging racket is a common picture witnessed in the 21st century. The support against such practices is provided by NGO’s but the society as such is not concerned and taking steps. Government has reacted sharply to such practices by strengthening their legal framework.
The loss of societal values such as empathy, care is a common scene witnessed in Indian Society. If such values have strong base in Indian Society then it would not have any old age homes. The land of Krishna would not witness the begging scenes of widows. .But the neglect and lack of concern of such issues due to paucity of time of globalised India sets a wrong precedent. Media’s emergence had a noble cause called freedom struggle propaganda. But the same media which once stood for the noble cause could not maintain the same pace to highlight the evils of Indian society. Instead they became the prey of corporate lobbying, political propagandist and money making. Several societal sensitive issues were ignored and commercialization of news has become the mandate. Public outcry is not yet visible because society too is attracted to the illusion of entertainment. The birth of several life threatening diseases and out of pocket expenditure has ballooned in health care. But the plight of poor people fell on deaf ears of pharmaceutical manufacturers who always highlighted the motive of profit margins. Such evil practices led to the origin of generic drugs . If this model of generic drugs didn’t evolve various diseases could have swallowed precious lives of humans. Not only Indian society could take pride in voicing such concerns but also raised their voices against testing of cosmetics in animals. These priceless fauna were subjected to rigorous painful testing to know the impact of various cosmetics. But the feelings of these voiceless creatures earned a sympathy and we are the first in Asia to ban such tests
CONCLUSION
The growth of injustices is at such a rapid pace that we are witnessing new chapters everyday . Though the volume of chapters has increased, the volume of concern has not reached its highest pitch. There are still some injustices which are yet to be heard. Indian Society being the harbinger of human rights should raise its voice whenever they start to show their shades. Else Indian society would suffer not by the violence of its bad people but by the silence of its good people.

Instead they became the prey of corporate lobbying, political propagandist and money making. Several societal sensitive issues were ignored and commercialization of news has become the mandate. Public outcry is not yet visible because society too is attracted to the illusion of entertainment. The birth of several life threatening diseases and out of pocket expenditure has ballooned in health care. But the plight of poor people fell on deaf ears of pharmaceutical manufacturers who always highlighted the motive of profit margins. Such evil practices led to the origin of generic drugs . If this model of generic drugs didn’t evolve various diseases could have swallowed precious lives of humans. Not only Indian society could take pride in voicing such concerns but also raised their voices against testing of cosmetics in animals. These priceless fauna were subjected to rigorous painful testing to know the impact of various cosmetics. But the feelings of these voiceless creatures earned a sympathy and we are the first in Asia to ban such tests
CONCLUSION
The growth of injustices is at such a rapid pace that we are witnessing new chapters everyday . Though the volume of chapters has increased, the volume of concern has not reached its highest pitch. There are still some injustices which are yet to be heard. Indian Society being the harbinger of human rights should raise its voice whenever they start to show their shades. Else Indian society would suffer not by the violence of its bad people but by the silence of its good people.
