KNOWLEDGE ABOUT INDIAN ECONOMY.
Due to lack of education, most people are not interested to know about the Indian Economy. They do not have as much interest as they have in politics and cinema. They learn by hearsay or from media which may or may not be correct. The following Govt. web sites give a clear picture. But it is difficult to understand. Web sites 4, 6 and 7 may be useful.
1. Ministry of Finance, Government of India
2. Department of Commerce, Government of India
3. Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion
4. Office of the Economic Adviser
5. Investment and Trade in India
6. Union Budget and Economic Survey
7. Reserve Bank of India's database on the Indian economy
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT LANGUAGE
I find people constrict English words so as to send SMS or WhatsApp messages on a cell phone since the available space is less. But in FaceBook there is sufficient space. Recently I read a posting on FaceBook as given below.
"It's very sad to c a girl like Anitha who has a bright future committing suicide.. Wat can v do now.. Nuthing. Other than a putting a status? Is tat it.. Nope.. V hav 2 change it frm d roots.. If d same thing happened wit our family r neighbors. Wil u let it happen. V wud fight 4 it.. Each nd every person shud join nd fight 4 wha is right. D same was conveyed in d movie PURIYATHA PUTHIR.. Even celebs like kamal hasan sir told d same in his interview. Let's bring d change"
In early days, Germany was considering to adopt this " constricted " English as for publishing and for official language. But saner elements prevailed upon the ministry to avoid such adoption. I request all my friends to introspect what will happen if:
1. Kids are taught English like this in school?
2. How people will read if newspapers print like this?
3. Will people write like this in their office?
4. Why spoil the beauty of a language for convenience?
5. Have sympathy for others who find it difficult to read it?
