the bombay attack was a terrorist attack and its prevention or removal would have been through a efficient border and internal security system... this is police work, nothing to do with having aircraft carriers or fighter planes or irbm rockets.
the terrorists in the bombay attack came from the sea... was the indian navy, with its israeli anti-ship rockets and german submarine technology, able to stop the terrorists from entering??
why was more money and resources spent on navy ships than on coast guard ships and boats?? why was there no well-equipped police force at the railway station (
58 people died there and injuries to 104 more )?? why wasn't bombay police able to stop the terrorists from taking control of the hotels?? just simple questions we must ask if we need to improve.
why can't there be a eastern/southern bloc defense agreement where russia and china can provide security to india, pakistan, afghanistan and bangladesh against the nato bloc?? what is the point of south asian countries having huge and expensive militaries when the establishments of these countries have not provided any paradise system to their citizens??
but that is the correct path.
with economics, a sensible person must necessarily ask simple and fundamental questions if one wants to achieve a harmonious society... if we complicate our discussions with accounting equations and strange graphs we will keep perpetuating complications and never arrive at solutions.
and there's the more fundamental point that the unnatural and unnecessary money system must be abolished... even at the first step of the resultant effects, imagine the drastic removal of economic and social crimes and injustices !! as a further effect, imagine all those material facilities/necessities that can be opened up or made possible for the majority of the seven billion of this world who earlier were deprived of them just because they didn't have money !! as a continued effect, imagine the lessening of conflicts among countries or factions !!
in a truly civilized humanity, among the things that must be abolished should be economics, meaning abolishing money system.
yes the libyan jamahiriya had oil resources which it employed to full benefit of not only libyans but in exporting its socialism to other countries ( bolivarian venezuela has adopted direct-democracy ) and in supporting freedom movements and socialist movements like nelson mandela's anc and the farc of columbia.
but if libya had oil then india had agriculture, minerals and in recent 20 years the it/services industry.
it was in a socialist writing that i first encountered a fact of the indian economy where despite 50+ percent work-force being employed in agriculture, a major part of india's gdp income comes from the momentary/transitory industry called the it/services industry... this point can be taken to speak of the unscientific and inefficient manner of india's agriculture system.
there are many people in india who for some reason find comfort in triumphantly declaring that india the world's third largest economy... wikipedia page for 'economy of india' says that india is a trillion dollar economy and according to wikipedia page for 'list of countries by gdp ( nominal )'
[1], india is 9th in the ranking.
we must ask ourselves how have the grand-sounding income numbers of india been employed for the benefit of the country's citizens and the world?? in the same last list
[1], cuba is number 64 in ranking ( vastly lower than india ) according to the uno analysis column, but the same uno through its agency, undp, produces the annual report called 'human development index'
[2] and for the same year 2014 ( as with the gdp listing ), cuba is at number 44 in ranking and india is at number 135, meaning cuba's real indicators of human development and comforts are greatly better than those of india.
so a poorer little socialist cuba gives to its citizen greater comforts than the world's third largest economy and extremely capitalist india??
don't you think there is a wrongness in how money and resources are employed in india?? so many things are missing in india, like homes for 70+ million, yet the indian government and the mostly unnecessary military are spending 65,000 crores ( nine billion dollars ) on buying western fighter planes?? how can this be justified?? and to your question about security i answer below.
and let me also say that in the same 2014 hdi report, the war-affected syria is at number 118, meaning that by 2014, syria though torn apart by three years of a huge nato-created proxy war, still was able to promise and deliver welfare services to its citizens !!
i don't understand this - how can a useless person like mukesh ambani be allowed to construct a 27-storey ugly building ( the world's ugliest probably ) as his personal house in bombay while so many people are homeless or live in slums in the same city??
beyond the simple 'what the hell is this !!' question is why should someone useless like ambani have so much money to waste while many tea estate workers in darjeeling died in 2014 because of hunger because of lack of money to
buy food??
creating or not creating a welfare/socialist system is not about population at all... it is about intention of the establishment or of the defenders of the political system... if socialists are accepted as a guides for india's true development they can easily re-allocate, sell and re-deploy resources, money and security forces so that india is removed of social/economic/sociopathic crime, class structure, corruption, inequalities and disharmony.
the ussr was the world's biggest country and despite the need for improvement there that country still offered facilities to its citizens in the 80's that most indians don't have in 2016.
1. my posting in 2014 of gaddafi's solution to kashmir.
2. my posting of a solution for south asia based on rearrangement of south asia on the lines of the direct-democracy system of libya.
3. those other things i mentioned in my previous post here.
tell me this... has anything socially and economically changed much in india since 1947??
"practical" has no meaning in revolutionary change of society/world and in scientific pursuit... what must be done must be done.
