Obama’s India Visit: Acknowledging India’s Rise

Dear Friends,

My last post on the blog was way back in July and the blog itself has remained inactive since early August. I apologize for this prolonged absence friends. But then its not that I have stopped writing. Its just that I was busy typing case analysis, assignments and reports all these weeks. Lots of interesting events on the national landscape had the media on its toes all this while. The prominent one include the dismal prelude to Common Wealth Games, the dazzling games, the shameful spectrum scam, reassuring Bihar polls and Obama's India visit. This write up is about the last one. May be another on 2G scam may follow. Read on for my analysis of this high profile visit.

When Barack Hussein Obama was elected as president of the most powerful nation of planet earth, he was hailed as the face of change US nationals and the globe was seeking. The first state guest of this charismatic professor turned politician was none other than the widely respected Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh. This gave a hint that the Democrat leadership of US seeks to strengthen its ties with India, a nation growing at a modest pace when majority of the world was struggling to break free from recession.

Obama’s statements during his visit to India reaffirmed that the two largest democracies are partners in mutual growth. The four day trip, like other high profile meets, was preceded by a lot of speculation of which little materialized. Obama seemed to make it clear to India and to the world at large that Indo-US relation is heading more towards a give and take than US gives and India takes. He was not here to offer diwali gifts to the nation which is home to 17.31% of world’s population. Instead he was here to create job opportunities for his folks back home. E was here to strike a partnership for mutual growth. The message was clear: United States of America needs a friend in India.

The visit began in the historic Taj Hotel in Mumbai where he met the survivors of 26/11 attack. A move in the direction of building a people to people relation, a society to society contact between the two countries and not just a military or business relation. However he did not speak of war against terror and its perpetuators, which irked quite a few political analysts. Obama chose to visit Humayun’s tomb and not the Taj Mahal he interacted with students and industry leaders. All of this to indicate that he was visiting India and not the Prime Minister. The trip highlighted India’s importance in multiple ways. In his attempt to seek access to Indian markets and jobs for US in India, he tried to prepare a level playing field in exchange of American firms outsourcing their projects to India. After all, the firms outsource because it is uneconomical for them to restrict all of their operations within America.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Barack Obama addressing a joint press conference at New Delhi

Indian government described the visit as a "milestone" in Indo-US relations. This one statement from External Affairs Minister, SM Krishna highlights the importance of the outcomes of this visit includes lifting of curbs on exports of dual use technologies. With ISRO and DRDO now removed from the Entity List of US Bureau of Industry and Security, US has in a way accepted India’s nuclear power and that we do not proliferate. India has been seeking both of these for quite a while now. US in return urged India to unite with it on Iran, a position diametric to India’s near friendly relations with Iran.

While the US president was in India, the majority in house of representatives back home shifted from Democrats to Republics. However, as the president has a leeway authority with respect to foreign affairs, this change is not expected to impart significant effect to foreign affairs policy of the Obama administration, which has been, if nothing, unique. First year of Obama’s rein was a honeymoon with China and thus it slightly annoyed the likes of India, Japan and Philippines. No doubt he is making amends this year. Obama also signaled an aircraft deal which could create as many as 27000 jobs back home. Though defense deals are never inked in presidential visits, Obama wanted to address his people who are clearly disappointed with the slow pace of change they all wanted. Obama’s domestic policies have been seen as averse to corporate America, a view he attempted to change by indicating business worth US $10 billion when he met industry tycoons in Mumbai. In any case, Republicans have traditionally been more beneficial to India’s cause than the Democrats and their victory can only better the Indo-US ties. However, this loss could translate into stiff tussle in passing bills concerning domestic changes.

To conclude India and US are heading for a strong alliance. Alliances can be geopolitical or geo-economic where one country needs another like the relation between US and Saudi Arabia or they can be Society to Society relationship like the one between US and Great Britain. India’s relation with US qualifies for a Society to Society relationship. This visit took both countries a few notches closer towards establishing such a relationship. Obama acknowledged that India has finally emerged.

Expanding existing horizons

Hi friends,

All the posts in this blog so far were either about current affairs or about debatable topics or about lots of advice....
Some may find it a little difficult to contribute to such topics. For example i was at a loss at a point of time.I didnt know what to post or how to comment when Atul posted about naxalism. There was so much I did'nt know, it was a topic which i had'nt reflected upon.....

This could be the case with some of us here. We maybe be following the blog, but we might be at a loss when it comes to posting something.But reading and following a blog is not enough - in our terms necessary but not sufficient.We have to contribute too....

Enhancing our writing abilities is very important. After engineering most of us will definitely intend to study furthur. GRE, CAT, GMAT whatever the choosen path maybe everyone will definitely encounter situations where their essay writing skills are tested. GRE,CAT - SOP(Statement of purpose), GMAT - Profile and Personal Evaluation essays.Some of us might take up jobs right after graduation. Even to them writing is not an exception. For a steady growth in any company ample reflection of ur technical, clerical(reading,analysing,writing and calculating skills) and communication skills is very important. We will have to draft letters of utmost importance or prepare prsentaions for our clients. All this expertise will not come overnight.It has to be nutured.Writing cannot be learned by reading a few essays here and there.It can only be practised.

So in order to encourage and enchance ( to a little extent atleast) the writing skills we can start by taking a topic of our choice and posting atleast a paragraph(a mini-mini essay) about it.
The topics can be random, informal, formal and even bizzare. They can be topics like...What u did this weekend?What is ur schedule for the day? A prank u played on your friend etc.,

This is just to get u into the habit of writing regularly. Though a liitle stress will be laid on grammar please do not worry. Ur contribution means a lot to us. It means you have taken the next step in making yourself successful...

So guys and gals, you've come to the end of the post now..So stop chatting on gtalk, stop updating ur status on facebook, put aside ur fears and spend the next 5 min in writing that paragraph....NOW!!!!


Warm Regards,
Mrudula Singampalli.

Interviews - not very difficult hurdles

Hi everybody,

Atul first i want to tell you that you are doing a great job! With iit-kanpur and everything else on your plate...it's really inspiring that you are maintaining this blog so very dedicatedly!

Second if the juniors are reading this blog...i urge them to take part in it effectively. More questions, more doubts always act as a stimulus and help seniors(atul in fact)post with greater frequency.

Recently, i recieved a few mails from juniors asking me about campus interviews and how to prepare for them. They seemed a little apprehensive about facing the interviewers and wanted to learn from our experiences...So i am posting this article hoping it will help you....Posts, corrections, suggestions and other comments from seniors will be greatly appreciated.

Gearing Up :
The first thing you have to develop before attending an interview is your confidence.Do not sit in front of ur books with the fear of not getting a job...never!
You can,will and must crack the interview.Now that ur attitude is set we will come to the technical part.....

It is not necessary to learn new things,all you need to do is brush up the very basics of our subjects.Make sure you know a little bit of everything...For example if u take CN u should know the 7 layers and the protocols used in those layers(you wont have time for thorough reading if your interview is imminent...but if u have time i strongly suggest that you go for it!)

Apart from this prepare well and try to learn as much as possible about your favourite subjects..usually the best combination is always a programming language like c,c++,java,c# a theory subject like OS and a subject with every day management applications like SE.
But make sure you learn the practical applications of the subjects.
For example if you choose OS u must be able to answer questions like
- What is the latest OS u've worked with? What are the new things u spotted in it? Can u compare it with the other OS's u've used so far? etc.;

GD:-
GD is something where confidence and intelligence matter. Though fluency is also important you can cover it using the above two. If it is a known topic, very good talk confidently about it.Make sure you put ur views in a clear manner so that others can understand it without any difficulty.Coherence is very important.Also try and make the opening statement because you get extra points for bring the initiator.
If it is an unknown topic u can't start...DONT WORRY! Listen to the views of others...listen to what they are saying....form a connection between what they are saying and the things u know...put forward your views..
NEVER EVER STAY SILENT IN A GD FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE AT THE START.You should make your presence felt in the very first minute of the discussion.It is good if you can stay update with the current affairs but it is not absolutely necessary. U will have an edge over the others if u have a bit of general knowledge.

Project:-
Apart from these another very important thing is ur Project. Usually our final year projects are not completed(sometimes not even started) by the time the company officials come for placements. That is why during the summer u should do a mini project.It will hardly take 15 days but it is very useful.

Training:
Coming to industrial training, all they check is whether u understand the hierarchy in the industry.U just need to understand what softwares that particular company is using, what platforms are being used for integration and things like that.

Misc:-
Before you attend the interview make sure u know as much as possible about the company.Its caption,logo,aims,objectives,products,services,founders etc.,Concentrate on the written test and DO NOT TAKE IT EASY. A lot of elimination takes place here and the technical round.Usually if u r through both these rounds it is quite enough.They dont elimimate more than 10 people in the HR round.

if u have any other doubts..feel free to ask us :-)
If i've forgotten anything please add....

Thank you,
Mrudula Singampalli.

Remembring The Past

Dear Friends,

  After a prolonged absence I am back to blog. While this period did have its share of significant events viz. Unrest in J&K, Maoist Violence, Debates and Discussions on IPC for Sexual Abuse and Honor Killings, GoM meets on Caste based Enumeration, SEBI vs. IRDA for ULIPs, new logo for INR etc. etc, I was busy in relocating from Vizag.

This article however will not be about any of those events enlisted, instead this is for all those who are preparing for competitive exams of any kind. Preparation has to be planned. So lets get started.

The first step towards our preparation should be to build belief, faith.

There is nothing which we as individuals cannot accomplish.  

And why not, all competitive exams are meant to be cracked. So believe in your abilities. Ability to learn, apply, prevail and sustain. The order is extremely important. Now most of you would have had an attempt at highly competitive exams like JEE, AIEEE, EAMCET etc. and would have learned some lessons from them. One key point to note is

Institutes do not assure success, dedicated preparation does.

Let me make myself clear. I am not taking any credit away from any of the factors concerning this process Institutes play a key role in your success but not every student who is enrolled with them tastes equal success.  The difference of course lies in the way students adapt to the system. Instead you can succeed without a formal coaching.This brings us to the second ingredient: Attitude.

By Attitude I mean the necessity to follow diligently your way of study. You need not work for long hours but work with full concentration for limited hours. Invariably in all exams you need to develop your speed and accuracy. Sit for lets' say 2 hours only but increase the number of attempts and accuracy. More importantly, learn to seek help. May be your friends are also your competitors but learn to share your ways with them. Never hesitate to ask for help from your friends, seniors or faculty. Remember that you are not demeaning yourself by seeking help. You are instead opening yourself to new opportunities to learn and improve and thus get better. Similarly remain accessible to all those who mean something to you. Help them out. Take some time out and address their concerns. Share and you will improve.

Third and most important factor is to keep yourself motivated. It is important for any aspirant to realise and keep reminding oneself of the purpose of the endeavor.  It is important to answer the question, "Why am I doing this?" Pressure keeps building with every passing day and you may find the going getting tougher. This pressure, my dear friends, can make or mar your performance. The pressure or burden of expectations may come from varied sources like your parents, friends or yourself. The best way to negotiate with such pressure is to talk about it. You can talk to yourself or to a friend you confide upon but ensure that you channelize this pressure properly.

 Lets' Convert Ourselves From Desiring Aspirants To Deserving Recipients of Success

I am sure plenty can be added. Awaiting your responses in the form of criticism and comments.

Is India High on Potential, Low on Application?

Dear Friends,

The thought of writing something on this topic has been around for quite sometime now. But somehow I managed to delay the temptation. Finally, after listening to Kapil Sibal's interview, 10 mins ago, I decided its time for another small write-up on the blog. The interview was about the recent reforms our ambitious HRD minister endeavors to bring about. Now to our topic.

The world is heaving a sigh of relief as the economy all over the globe is strengthening. Certainly, the Indian service sector, the driver of our economy, will benefit to a significant extent. Among the IT and ITES sector, L&T Infotech, Mahindra Satyam, TCS and Infosys, among others, have bagged multi-million dollar projects. But then is there another angle to this sweet, nice picture?

Lets go back in time by 20 years.

The 7th largest nation of the world had no major say on matters of prominence. It was labeled as a poor country, struggling to cover its deficits and in debt despite the best efforts of its far sighted leaders. A country with high corruption and crime rate despite having a voluminous and a well-compiled Constitution and a system with healthy decentralization of power.

I agree that I have not brought out the positives but whatever I have stated above is true.

In those days we had lots of Indians flying to the Arab nations for employment. They used to comeback after a few years and were certainly richer but the nature of the work was anything but respectable. Their employers hired them because they found it cheaper than the local workers. In short: Indians, and workers from similar nations, supplied what was the "cheap labour" and were easily available because of the high number.

With changing tides, literacy level has increased, we are more skilled and learned. The result: lots of Indians are placed in positions where they pull the strings. There are more CEO's, doctors and engineers of Indian origin in the US than migrants of any other nation. India today is an important strategic partner for the so called "developed nations". However, we are still called the cheap laborers. A customer in US has to narrate the problems of his Notebook PC to someone sitting in an air-conditioned building in Bangalore. The pay rolls of workers in UK is being monitored by a Software application made by an Indian MNC. Certainly I am not questioning the quality of the jobs we perform as software engineers but why do we get to do only limited things?

Why does Intel, Google have a R&D wing but TCS and Infosys don't? Why do we have only one Anand Kumar and only one group of Super 30 in the entire country?

The answer to these troublesome questions lie in the education system. Let us look at the various actors involved in the education system: the parents, the School Management, the Teacher in the School, the Environment, Neighbours of the student, the State government and the Central government.

Clearly the government alone cannot reform the system. Measures need to be taken by everyone involved. Thankfully we have a minister who believes he can bring about positive changes. But is that enough? Academicians all over the country have been pressing for a contemporary syllabus. But aren't we underplaying the increased burden on the students? What should be done to prevent the small but significant brain drain from the country? Why did C.K.Prahalad choose US ahead of India?

What do you think? Is India high on potential, low on application?

Naxalism: Can Someone Justify This?

Dear Friends,

Last night I was thinking about Naxal movement in India when a news strip caught my eyes. It read "7 CRPF men killed in Bijapur following a Naxal attack".

The prime minister describes Naxalites as "the single biggest internal security challenge ever faced by our country".

What began as the Communist movement in India, is now a menace. Ironically the founders who were responsible for the genesis of this struggle have distanced themselves from the movement and some have even turned to parliamentary democracy for revolutionary activity but their followers continue to distort their ideology with every passing day.

Before we label them as home grown terrorists, we must understand the motivation and the cause of their struggle. Mao said "power flows from the barrel of the gun" and perhaps that's where these self-styled Maoists derive their motivation from. The cause is to prevent themselves from being deprived of their land.

Let us not forget that India is not only growing as a super power in space research, in world economy and in IT sector; but it is also ranked 2nd in the number of malnourished children(after Bangladesh), underweight children are more common in India than in the Sub-Saharan Africa, 4 children of our nation die every minute - and they die of curable diseases like typhoid, measles, pneumonia and malaria.

There are villages where snake bites are common but no medical aid is available. We live in a country where a prime minister once said "for every one rupee we allocate, only 10 paise reaches the common man" (The PM I am referring to is Mr. Rajiv Gandhi). Today the world bank says that only 31% of the allocated money is put to use, the rest ends up in lockers, safe in remote banks. The public distribution system is so bad that several tonnes of grains in Punjab and Haryana are wasted, while there are droughts and famine in Bihar, Orissa.

Aren't the peasants justified in protecting their lands from feudal lords? To an extent yes. But the question is, should it be done like this?

How can one justify killing innocent people? A civil war, or a people's war should not devastate the civilians. India has remained a successful democracy and despite Naxal threats there have been elections. What have the representatives from these areas managed to accomplish? Every year Rs. 2 crores is allocated to each Member of the Parliament for the development of his/her constituency. Why has no progress been made?

Operation Green Hunt has certainly had a huge set back after Dantewada episode, but then are our CRPF and COBRA men enough? Why was CPI(M) not banned in West Bengal when the central government banned it? Why does the Home Minister offers to resign but refuses to use military or air force?

Dantewada has also been the place where the CRPF and COBRA forces had killed more than 50 naxals, in Sept. 2009. Certainly the message is clear, whoever plans better wins the battle. And that has been the case in every battle fought.

Why not deploy other para military forces? When the State Police does not have enough men and inventory too tackle the Naxalites why not upgrade them? Undoubtedly Naxalites fight their war from the jungles in the Guerrilla warfare style, should we not take this to another level. They acquire or manufacture the arms, certainly this needs money and it comes from loot and forceful extraction of money. Why not take steps to prevent them? We can take some inspiration from Assam where ULFA activities are pretty much put to rest off late.

What will happen if India attempts a war against Naxals...like President Mahinda Rajpaksa tried against Prabhakaran's LTTE?

In my opinion we need to step up the heat. We need to mobilise more men and deal with Naxals with steel will. However, military action is not the only way out. Invite them for talks, let the representatives work for their constituencies. Why not offer them opportunities in other sectors like handicrafts, tourism? It is no longer the peasants' struggle it started with...let's see where it leads to.

All the Best

Dear Friends,

6th day of the month and no new posts...well yes I have been busy. The purpose of this post is to put on board the reason for long absence and to let you know what to expect.

I am leaving Vizag this evening and will get off the train on 8th. Latest by 9th evening there would be a write up on Naxal problems in India, college life and life after college and some more issues.

Keep suggesting the topics or discussions you would like to have and feel free to post your views.
In the mean time, few of my friends may post some articles. As I had said in my first post, "Why I decided to Blog?" this is an attempt to bring into light everything which can ever bother you. Be it the dossiers exchanged with Pakistan or the death sentence of Kasab, the resignation of Shashi Tharoor or the Government intervention in Indian Medical Association. Watch out for lots of interesting stuff.

Got to go.

All the best.

Keep posting, keep blogging, keep learning.

Caste Sysem: Education, Employment, Marriage and Beyond

Dear Friends,

As I said in my first post, "Why I decided to blog?", this blog is a small attempt to bring into light every small thing which matters to us; an attempt made to reflect upon the society and the way we look at it; an attempt to voice our views, opinions and concerns on various facets of life. Well the title of this post gives enough indication of the focus of today's post. So lets get started.

You would have come across the following information in some way or other:

• Premier institutes of the country, IITs and IIMs oppose caste based reservation
• Inter caste marriage annoys gram panchayat, refuses to accept the relation.
• Inter caste marriage results in honour killing.
• Demands in parliament to have reservations in private firms

Is it time to do away with the caste system? If yes, then is it going to be easy? Certainly no; then where are the difficulties? Lets have a look.

As we all know, castes were developed to recognize the deeds of the person. All humans who performed similar tasks for livelihood were labeled to have same caste. Yes the focus was on karma. Advantages were clear, there would be brotherhood and not rivalry among the people of same caste. However, a person's caste was determined with his birth. Again this was very fair.

A priest cannot teach his son the art of business.

So let him teach what he knows the best. However, times changed. It became necessary for a brahmin to work for an entrepreneur. It was apt for a rickshaw puller to be educated. Hence things changed.

From pre-colonization to post independence, a lot of water had flown under the bridge. It was time for social upliftment of the deprived. It was time for the uprising of the oppressed. It was time to breed equality. The only way out was to force the so called 'upper caste', to place them under compulsion; in order to allow a breathing space to the people of lower caste.

This resulted in reservations.

That was 6 decades ago.

Today we see ourselves as a developing economy, a nuclear power, the IT hub of the world. A nation which was growing at more than 6%p.a, while the most of the world was under recession. We look to have a greater say in the issues concerning the world. We build Arihants and Chandrayaans; we acquire Arcelor and Corus; we sign nuclear deals and dossiers. But we also have farmers committing suicides. There is a gap between rich and poor; between the rurals and urbans; between the rich of the rurals and rich of the urbans. There is prosperity but there is also naxalism and civil wars. Yes we have a Bangalore and a Mumbai; but we also have a Dantewada and a Dharavi.

Aren't we living in a country diversified not only by language and religion but also by problems and issues? Shouldn't the laws of this land reflect the change in times; reflect the diversity and unity? Why not remove reservations in phases from the country? Why not have no reservations in more developed urban areas? Why not have reservations based on economic status of a family? Why not take into account the per head family income?

Can there be an end to the caste system? I believe yes.

If we permit inter caste marriages; imagine a brahmin marrying a businessman: what would their children be called? What significance will the caste bear?

It is all actually very simple

Remove caste from all equations

• Decide reservation based on income.
• Stop considering caste as a factor in marriages - it is the profession, lifestyle and compatibility which matters.

No doubt it will be tough to implement them, but its nevertheless possible. There will be opposition from the so called old heads and it will be the youth who will face the burnt...but in the long run it would be beneficial. Are we ready to change the society?

What about the political interests? Its an open secret that every party aims at broadening their vote bank. Will they allow such a change? If they don't then should we allow them into the parliament? The strength of any democracy is its people. Pakistan today is a failed state because its citizens are rendered powerless. We have the right; we have the power but alas we seldom show it.

What are your views on the caste system in India?
Should we continue to have castes or should we abolish them?
Can we bring in the change?

Please post your comments and responses.

Economics: Satyam scam good for corporate governance?

Dear Friends,

As I specified in the earlier post, "Why I Decided to Blog?" am back with my first write up. The aim of this blog is to encourage healthy discussions, so why not get started straight away.

Economic Times Reports:

Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(ICAI) believes that Satyam scam is among the best things that could happen as in near future it would improve corporate governance. ICAI is the apex body of chartered accountants in India and a statement of this effect on its part carries a lot of importance. The body believes that Satyam has now become a case study which would help in controlling frauds.

Well that's what ICAI has to say, but my personal view on the matter is that the scam was handled very effectively. In a matter of hours govenment decided to save the company. Indeed the scam hurt the image of India Inc. but the way things have shaped up is quite appreciative. Now for the matter of corporate governance, yes Satyam will eventually be a case study, but it also exposes the possibilities a director can explore for meeting his vested interests. This is in a way similar to the recent recession, whatever happened was bad and may be we have learnt our lessons but does this mean that we won't have an economic slowdown again? Certainly not. We had a great recession in 1930s, didn't we have one more?

What do you think, can there be another Satyam? Was the government right in intervening?

Awaiting your responses and comments.

Why I Decided to Blog?

Dear Friends,

Blogging is not new to most of you I guess, but as you would see the purpose of this blog is different. A few more days and I will become an alumni of GITAM. The last 4 years have been enthralling, it has changed my life and my outlook towards it. Perhaps that's what life is all about. You meet people, get an insight into their psychology and learn from them. Perhaps the best ability of a human is to learn from experience and the one who makes good use of this, beyond the shambles of uncertainty, attains success. And that's a personal observation. As I gear up to start afresh in this wide, fiercely competitive and challenging world I feel I can give back something to GITAM; to my friends and juniors and to the department in particular. As a junior I have always appreciated the value addition that a senior's guidance can provide and have found it quite pleasing to accost them. However, I don't know how helpful I have been to my juniors so I decided to offer myself another chance. And this was the best option to start with.

What this platform would provide you is a discussion portal to voice your views, your concerns about anything which bothers, concerns or interests you. From final year projects to industrial trainings; from industrial tour to final placements; from Lalit Modis to Barack Obamas; from Kapil Sibals to Jaswant Singhs; from academics to extra curriculars. May be I will be able to advice you over some of these issues, others will be taken care of by other alumnis like me and some others will sort themselves out. This brings me to specific areas of interest: what future plans do you have friends? Let me guess:

• Mulling over MBA(CAT & Co...I mean MAT, JMET, SNAP et. al)
• Planning to leave the country(GRE)
• Take up public administration(UPSC)
• Start earning
• Get more technical(M.Tech, research et. al)

Well, whatever it is guys realize one thing in life:

Its you and only you who has the right to define your success.

And once you do that never ever change it, unless of course you attain it. Hopefully I will find time to upload plenty of articles, prepare my own analysis and write ups of varied issues and keep posting. Please do tell me what type of discussions you wish to have. Help me make myself better. Any questions, suggestions or comments on any topic is of utmost importance to me. Please do tell me the topics you would like to discuss.



Cheers and may all of us rest in peace.

Very soon I will post my first write up on Satyam scam.


To all those who approached me for any sort of advice.

With lots of love
