So it appears that the India’s $35 tablet is for real. Really. In an interview with NDTV 24×7, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal showcased one version of the tablet, running the Android operating system. Sibal said that the Indian government has been told that they need to order 1 million pieces for the price to be $35. India intends to procure a million of these tablets for distribution to Indian universities in 2011: the Indian government will subsidize 50% of the cost (so the cost to the exchequer will be $17.5 million). Watch the entire video, with a demo of the device, from NDTV, below:

Like OLPC, the Indian government intends this to be a direct deal, since a retail distribution model will lead to an escalation in price. Sibal said that both Google and Microsoft (for Windows CE) are in talks with the Indian government. Remember that OLPC has offered to share its technology with India.

The device also has a USB in, and a video out, and a slot for a SIM card. So can you connect it to your TV, with a key board, and connect to the web? What the demo and the video fails to mention, is the storage space in the device, though it does have a slot for a flash drive.

Also, I wonder if they intend to include biometric features in this, such as a fingerprint authentication, which would be important for Aadhar. It might add to costs, though.
Let there be Independence of right thought & action. Happy Independence day. Paraag Jaiin

Once a smoker was smoking at the airport.........
A gentleman came & asked him.
How much do you smoke a day?
Smoker:- Why are you asking such a question?
Gentleman replied:-If you had collected that money instead of smoking,the plane which is in front of you, would have been yours.
Smoker asked that gentleman:- Do you smoke?
Gentleman:-No.
Smoker asked:- Does that plane belongs to you?
Gentleman replied:- No.
Smoker:-Thanks for your kind advice, but that plane is mine

[Smoker-Vijay Mallya].


Moral of the Story:-Unnecessary advice is injurious to health.

Meat lovers gain more weight over time: Being a little less carnivorous may help you stay slim.
Election commissioner SY Quraishi termed Tamil Nadu a 'notorious state' for the prevalence of cash for vote scams, unhappy with the undemocratic deterioration of political standards in the state.

In an internal discussion note, the EC has blacklisted 25 IAS and IPS officers of Tamil Nadu from the ensuing Tamil Nadu assembly elections.

Regarding the role of money in the past elections, the EC has received many complaints from opposition political parties, media reports and NGOs about the distribution of cash during electioneering campaign.

What's happening here is not capitalism gone mad, but the merger of the State and the Corporate interests - the original definition of fascism. In free markets (ideally) the power to decide lies with the local communities as a result of private property. Unfortunately, because of poor land reform in India, people living for thousands of years in the land are being evicted for the sake of corporate interests.
After Supreme Cout's Judgement/observations on skewed development which is leading to dispossesion of land from tribals, without adequately compensating them,the maoist just happen to be taking advantage of the mess.

Tum Agar Saath Dene


Tum Agar Saath Dene Ka Vada Ka
ICAI charges high fees from students, it provides no class room teaching to equip them with the fine nuances of financial auditing. The only meaningful interaction that a student has on the way to become a CA, is with the senior CA who gives the young rookie a chance to get mandatory articleship.


It is high time the government takes a close look at what these up coming auditors are taught at that early stage. How to make fake balance sheets, fake profit and loss accounts, fake account books, fake vouchers, enter fake entries, and manage fake receipts and what have you. In short, a new generation is equipped with dangerous weapons to sabotage the economy of the country. They are trained to make a Satyam happen every day. How can the graduates of this institute of lies be expected to be loyal to the government of India. Articleship is all about picking up the tricks of a trade that thrives on loopholes.

IIT post-graduate gives Rupee its symbol
Too many ideas have crept into this symbol. The English letter “R”, the Hindi script for”Ra”, a Horizontal line to match the British pound, US Dollar and Euro symbols

it reminded me of the USSR flag. You just have to rotate the sickle and hammer until the hammer handle is horizontal.. And you have the rupee symbol that has got the nod.

Can a leader trust a yes man?
Why should (should not) a leader trust a yes man?

The question was around trusting a yes man....Yes men are malleable and easy to walk over (like sand). For a leader, trusting someone means relying on them to tell you the truth (even when it hurts or is unpleasant). Figuratively, you "build your house" on them. Would you build your house on sand?

Arthashastra and Neetishastra.

1) A person should not be too honest. Just as straight trees are chopped-down first, honest people are taken advantage of first.
2) An egoist can be won over by being respected, a crazy person can be won over by allowing him to behave in an insane manner and a wise person can be won over by truth.
3) Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions - Why am I doing it? What the results might be? And Will I be successful?
4) Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.
5) If you get to learn something even from the worst of creatures, don’t hesitate.
6) The four greatest enemies of a man are - the father who has taken a loan, the characterless mother, the beautiful but promiscuous wife and the stupid child.
7) The world’s biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.
8) There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.
9) A woman is four times as shy, six times as brave and eight times as lusty as a man.
10) Prostitutes don’t live in company of poor men, birds don’t build nests on a tree that doesn’t bear fruits and citizens never support a weak administration.

It is odd that the government should have chosen law and order as its final alibi after some exhausting self-laceration in its search for a credible explanation for the escape of Union Carbide’s Warren Anderson on December 7, 1984.
Why do we say “law and order” rather than “order and law”? Simple. Law comes before order. Law defines the nature of order. Law is the difference between civilization and chaos. Law is evolutionary: the edicts of tribes, chiefs and dynasties lifted human societies from scattered peril to structured coexistence. The laws of democracy have vaulted us to the acme of social cohesion, for they eliminated arbitrary diktat and introduced collective will. The divine right of kings is dead; it has been reborn as the secular right of an elected Parliament.
A nation that cannot uphold its law cannot preserve its order. When Anderson was smuggled out to safety, the authority of state abandoned the responsibility of state. Excuses, evasions and lies have shifted over 26 years; this central truth has not.
Unsurprisingly, Anderson sneered at the establishment that knelt before him; contempt is the umbilical chord of the colonial, or neo-colonial, relationship. The crux of the Bhopal tragedy is summed up in a few sentences uttered by Anderson as he was escorted out of India on December 7, 1984: “House arrest or no house arrest, or bail or no bail, I am free to go home…There is a law of the United States… India, bye bye, thank you.”
‘House or no house arrest’: he could not care a damn about those funny-looking policemen (in lathis and khaki shorts?) who had dared to arrest a pillar of the American corporate establishment. ‘Bail or no bail’: what was a rotten piece of paper signed in an Indian court worth to a lord of Wall Street? Not even the decency of silence. Anderson was publicly, even proudly, contemptuous of those who did not have the courage to interrupt his freedom for a mere industrial disaster in which a few thousand semi-slave Indians had been gassed to death within hours and thousands more would die over years.
‘There is a law in the United States’: Anderson had twigged on to a basic truth that the law is a malleable reality for those who are “well-connected” in India. How could Anderson have respect for India’s law when those entrusted with its sanctity had defiled it? Anderson laughed at Indian law, and jeered at the Indian state. Compare this with the fact that his company was scared witless at the prospect of an American trial. Carbide fought hard, and successfully, with predictable help from a comprador Indian establishment, to shift the trial from America to India. Their subsequent collusion with Indian courts touched Supreme heights.
British Petroleum knew the perils of entanglement with American justice and shelled out within six weeks of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Big Oil (which is far bigger than Big Chemical) has been forced to put aside $20 billion for the repair of the environment after an ecological disaster that has not killed a single innocent human being. Technically, BP need not have paid more than $75 million. The first demand on Carbide, 26 years ago was for $15 billion. It has paid the equivalent of just one billion dollars (at today’s prices) for the death of nearly 20,000 people and the horrific maiming of over 100,000.
Barack Obama slipped on a bit of oil himself when the spill began. He thought playing to the gallery would subdue the clamour, while BP contained the damage. He upped the ante (it became an environmental 9/11) even while his National Guard helped BP by hiding affected bird-life from media cameras. Obama began to taunt the British in British Petroleum, perhaps because he found it easier to attack a nation than a multinational; but public opinion was not to be mollified by rhetoric.
BP paid America out of fear, not because of a demand order from its conscience. Carbide had nothing to fear, and never possessed a conscience. QED. BP will not pay a dividend this year. Carbide paid a dividend even after Bhopal.
‘India, bye bye, thank you’: those famous last Anderson words. Bye bye; this is a divorce, not a separation. There might be some alimony in it, but don’t start shopping until the cheque is in the bank.

Accusation is the easy exit route from Bhopal. Introspection will take us back to the beginning. Betrayal is impossible without trust. We did not trust Carbide to be honest. We trusted our political class, and it continues to search for new and inventive ways to betray us again.
