On the road with Hillary

Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly the Indian American community’s favourite candidate for the 2008 presidential elections. Later this month, the honourable Senator is all set to interact with the alumni group of Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT). For this, she has promised to take time out of her hectic presidential cam- paigning. About 4,000 Indian Americans are ex- pected to attend the function. A New York Sun report claims that several Bollywood stars will be called for yet another Hil- lary campaign event sometimes later this year. Indian stars are shining extremely bright for Senator Clinton, we must say!

Army, blood, curfew & death!

The sheer magnitude of this so-called struggle for survival is so very large that it is engulfing almost everything.

This on-going devastation in the cloak of survival, peace or security is actually destroying most innocent lives. More than 2 million children have died & 12 million have been physically disabled or injured during the last decade due to these on-going wars. From Israel, Palestine to Yugoslavia & Sierra Leone, all these countries have not only used youngsters for wars, many more have become unwanted victims of crossfire. In Palestine alone, about 119 children have been killed directly & more than 700 due to the uprising. These ruinous wars not only leave children injured, orphaned & homeless, but also vulnerable to illness transmitted through unclean & poisonous environment, exacerbated food & water quality. This is complimented with psycho-social turmoil. War in essence gets over but the remnants linger in the premature minds of the hapless children. Almost any rational, would agree that these most innocent lives should be spared from these acts of violence. But such loft y proposals remain confined in the commission reports & seminars only while execution remains impractical. The reality however is far different.

Energising India

Finally, the Indian government recently unveiled its much awaited Exim Policy, commonly known as the Trade Policy, with once again an ambitious export target to achieve. Guess what’s the projected export target for the year 2007-08? It’s a humongous $160 billion! Looks like a pretty difficult target, but one must not forget the accomplishments of our government, which in the recent past, has exceeded all set targets of exports. Consider export figures of the last three years, $83.5 billion in 2004-05, $103.1 billion in 2005-06 and a mammoth $125 billion for the last fiscal year, and one would easily understand the pace of our growth rate.

Brand: Spark

Headline: Full Of Life!

Baseline : Na
Agency : Leo-Burnett
4ps Take : Yet another small car has hit Indian roads – this time, it’s Chevrolet’s baby, Spark. So how does the brand ‘distinguish’ itself? Simple! It’s targetting the youth, so the communication is bubbly, peppy and very young! The car is being positioned as one that’s full of energy and zing; geared to take you anywhere and everywhere. The attractive visual–that gives us a good view of the car (from outside, as well as the interiors!) – is backed up by some very informative stuff on all the new features that the Spark comes loaded with, offering customers great reward to the prospect. The power idea? Other than youthfulness, the brand is easy on the pocket and comes with a competitive price tag. So, will GM’s small car gamble pay off?

Threaten or use peaceful means... Choice is yours!

Atruism in human as well as world affairs is that if you threaten people, they will defend themselves. If you reach out in good faith, people are likely to reach back.

A case in point is the long tortuous relations between the US and North Korea. One of many illustrations was when, in 2002, President Bush named North Korea a charter member of the “axis of evil.” North Korea was developing plutonium bombs and represented an imminent threat, according to the US intelligence. The charges in fact instigated the very threats that Washington had warned against. North Korea, unlike Iraq, could already defend itself – with massed artillery aimed at Seoul, South Korea and at US troops. The stakes rose as North Korea began amassing its nuclear arsenal.

The new Turks!

Of the 15 former Soviet Republics, Turkmenistan is one of its kind – politically repressive, yet the wealthiest nation amongst all. Owing to the conspiracy of silence in media, the true picture of this nation was hidden for years. After independence (1990-91), authorities framed two important development policies to empower the citizen – privatization and capitalism. Turkmenistan’s present social security system finds its foundation in 1991, where old age, disability and survivor pension facilities were provided comprehensively. Not to forget that men and women have been equal before the law, though socially, a woman’s role is confined to that of a homemaker.

Hide the vehicle, run to the courts... But remember, you defaulted, and you ‘have’ to pay back!

Going by the All India Debt and Investment Survey, nearly 1/4th of the Indian households were indebted in 2002. Figures that have gone upwards in the recent years with bank credit to household and consumer durables growing by over 50% during 2001- 2006. Expectably, the growth of loan recovery related complaints went up by 34% during 2003-2005.

But then, what do you do when Shylock comes a calling? Well, as they say amusingly in banking circles, you can’t run, but you can surely hide! Taking in view the recent judgments meted out by the courts on the scores of loan recovery cases, one can aptly say that contemporary recovery methodologies have not gone down too well with the judiciary in the past few years.

‘Bed’-deviled

Have you ever visited one of the premier hospitals – say the All India Institute of medical science (AIIMS) – in New Delhi? On any normal non-crisis day, hundreds of serious patients strive to occupy a hospital bed. Pathetically then, the Indian healthcare system has proved to be thoroughly inept in providing for the basic needs of healthcare in the country. According to the last available WHO report, India has fewer than one bed and one doctor per 1,000 population. India has 6,00,000 beds, compared to China’s 3.2 million hospital beds across the country. A state-wise analysis show that 33% of Maharashtra’s hospital beds are concentrated in its capital Mumbai alone. More than 50% (of the 60,000 that are registered) of Maharashtra’s doctors have practice in Mumbai.

National laws take precedence over international treaties.

The compliance issue comes to fore particularly in cases related to enforcement of anti-terror laws and the protection of human rights. And when it comes to striking a balance between national security and human rights, the National Commission of Human Rights clearly states that “Undoubtedly, national security is of paramount importance... Any law for combating terrorism should be consistent with the constitution, the relevant international instruments and treaties, and respect the principles of necessity and proportionality.” It is important to note here that the Indian judiciary is guided by the principles of Dualism (see box) – national laws take precedence over international treaties.

Hyundai & Maruti, set on a pricey path!

Country’s leading automobile manufacturers Maruti and Hyundai have upped their prices on select models by up to Rs.12,000 and Rs.3,500, respectively, with effect from February 1, 2007. The hike comes as a consequence of the rising input costs. Some part of the revenue (obtained from the hike) will go towards better dealer margins, which in turn will aid better customer service. At Hyundai, the price hike has been restricted to Santro which will get expensive by Rs.1,000. On the other hand, all major models of Maruti, including the newly launched Zen Estilo, will get dearer.
