EDITOR'S COLUMN


Friends

We are well into the new financial year. Both, Railway Budget and Union Budget are already out and life appears to be moving gingerly ahead without any radical shift of fortune, except that the anticipated share market revival has not taken place.

Summer months are round the corner hence the mercury is steadily going up. Also going up is the political heat. With developments of different nature, political parties are taking diverse stands which can affect political permutations and combinations. There is unease in New Delhi’s corridors of power. There is speculation that there could be election to the Lok Sabha earlier than 2014. Election to the Karnataka Assembly has already been announced for next month. Atmosphere is really hot but uncertain. Incumbent party may have to pay for incumbency factors. Who will come to power at Bangalore is difficult question to answer. It looks co-alition is going to return to state politics. In any case, let’s hope that there is deliverance to the harassed people of Karnataka.

There was a very pleasant surprise when we received a feedback from a young lady, as young as, all of 16 years. A 10th Std. CBSE student, the youngest to respond, in a language far beyond her age. Meghna Achar has really made our day with her incisive observation. We are indeed touched. Hope she continues to read I & C and regularly reverts with her valued feedback.

International Women’s Day, is an annual feature on 8th of March every year. We have taken up the issue under Focus for the importance it deserved. However, how politician and police joined to-gether to hijack the feminine movement, despite the loud positive noises of the political class is something known, but not discussed. We have tried to combine both issues for its relevance. Hope readers will find it interesting and worth your time. Do revert as usual with your considered inputs. Rest as usual.

Month-in-Perspective for October 2022

New Delhi : All living beings are in transit through this sorry world. The day our mandate is over we just have to vacate the space, doesn’t matter even if it’s Buckingham Palace. So, the reigning Queen of England left her mortal self to rest in her eternal space. She is no more. Elizabeth Alexander Mary, born on 21st April 1926, was anointed Queen of England on 6th Feb 1952 ended on 8th Sept 2022, uninterrupted and unquestioned for all the 70 years. Born Princess Elizabeth of York, in Mayfair, a suburb of London she was coroneted on 2nd June 1953, born to King George the VI and Queen Elizabeth. Indians by and large need not be interested in knowing more of the queen, either as a monarch or as a person of English origin.

It was on that day a crowd of non-violent protestors along with Baisakhi pilgrims had gathered in Jalianwal

Focus for October 2022

EMPOWERING HUMAN POTENTIAL AS A CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY: THE KP RAMASWAMY SAGA Speaking on “A PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT FACE”, as eminent management expert of Yesteryears, Mr. Shanu Rangnakar had observed “Two grabbing hands are all that the private enterprise could present before the people. There is a crisis of image in this sector”. This was in early 1975, that is close to half a century ago. How has this image undergone transformation during this past, close to fifty years? It’s a question with profoundly mixed answers in this era of World Trade Organization and consequent globalization. “People must come to accept private enterprise not as a necessary evil but as an affirmative good” was a dictum attributed to late Eugene Robert Black, the third president of the World Bank. He was president during 1949 to 1962, probably the longest served president of World Bank. They were truly the transformative years of World Bank also known as International Bank of Reconstruction and Development. The a
