FDI in retai

gucci purses

The government is talking of reforms only to divert attention

from corruption scandals. Why should the BJP become a party

to their conspiracy? The government neither has the moral

authority nor the majority to take any economic decisions.

They had promised in Parliament that they would go ahead with

FDI in retail only after consulting stakeholders, including

all chief ministers and opposition leaders. No effort was

made for this. They have betrayed us. They must first take

back the retail FDI decision, then we can talk about FDI in

insurance and pension. It's not about the issue. It's about

their intentions.

Will you support a no-confidence motion against the

government?

If there is one on an issue like FDI in retail, we will

definitely consider it. This is a failed government.

There is talk that you are Kejriwal's next target.

If any allegations are proved correct, I will leave politics.

Please investigate me. I have a clear conscience. Besides

being the abode of the Dalai Lama in India, McLeodganj is

replete with plenty of food for the soul as well as the body,

says, Narayani Ganesh

McLeodganj or Upper Dharamsala is synonymous with the Dalai

Lama who has been living there in exile with his followers

ever since he was forced to leave Tibet in 1959.

Unsurprisingly, therefore, this hill town in Himachal Pradesh

is a veritable "Little Lhasa" festooned with multi-coloured

prayer flags, its streets lined with food stalls selling

momos and popcorn, Tibetan bread and green vegetables.

"Blackstone and Embassy Property Developments signed the

transaction earlier this month. The deal was followed by the

October 4 order of the Competition Commission of India, which

gave clearance for the transaction," said the person, who did

not wish to be named. "It is an equity-level investment,

where a holding company was floated with three commercial

assets under it. However, the deal finally cascaded down to

the SPV level."

A detailed email sent to Embassy did not elicit a response

while Blackstone in an email reply said, "We would not like

to comment on this story. Our communication protocol does not

allow us to speak on market speculation."

Experts said the deal is in line with this year's trend.

"Given the uncertainties in political and economic

environment, investors are risk-averse and are investing in

pre-leased commercial assets. Around 70% of the transaction

closed this year are in pre-leased assets," says Rajeev

Although in the struggle between modernization

Their goal is impossible to achieve. The Islamists could not take their societies back 1,400 years even if the rest of the world would let them. And it will not let them. Neither the United States nor any of the other great powers will turn over control of the Middle East to these fundamentalist forces. Partly this is because the region is of such vital strategic importance to the rest of the world. But it is more than that. The vast majority of the people in the Middle East have no desire to go back 1,400 years. They oppose neither modernity nor democracy. Nor is it conceivable in this modern world that a whole country could wall itself off from modernity, even if the majority wanted to do so. Could the great Islamic theocracy that Al Qaeda and others hope to erect ever completely block out the sights and sounds of the rest of the world, and thereby shield its people from the temptations of modernity? The mullahs have not even succeeded in doing that in Iran. The project is fantastic.
The world is thus faced with the prospect of a protracted struggle in which the goals of the extreme Islamists can never be satisfied because neither the United States, nor Europe, nor Russia, nor China, nor the peoples of the Middle East have the ability or the desire to give them what they want. The modern great powers will never retreat as far as the Islamic extremists require. Unfortunately, they may also not be capable of uniting effectively against the threat. Although in the struggle between modernization and tradition the United States, Russia, China, Europe, and the other great powers are roughly on the same side, the things that divide them from one another--the competing national ambitions, the divisions between democrats and autocrats, the transatlantic disagreement over the use of military power--undermine their will to cooperate.
