An indigenous Sub Prime Crisis?????

Recently i [accidentally] went on to read EPW and then to my surprise i went on to read a article about the increasing chances of Sub-Prime [mortgage] Crisis (yes!! same as that in US) in India..I would like to bring this issue up through this medium...

Globalization in India is at its best with most of the vernacular firms preferring organic growth to the inorganic and numerous private players entering in the country.The is the space for firms in each and every industry and numbers are soaring like anything.Same is the case with the Banking System.

Banking system was developed to help the poor and to help middle classes but today it seems that as "Globalization" is well underway ,banking is also becoming a business with the increasing competition from the private Banks.Even the public Sector banks are focusing more on the profits that can me made out of different lending options.Government is also thinking to increase the share of the Private sector in PSBs and this moves proves the governments focus on its earning rather than people.

Instruments like Credit Derivatives and numerous other devices that ensure secrutization are being offered by banks so to proliferate their businesses.Lucrative lending options with less interests rates are being offered to the one who can be incapable in returning the loan back.I would like to throw light on the fact that the prime reason behind the mortgage crisis was the complex instruments made by the banks and indiscriminate lending option,which in the end,confused the banks per se.Moreover the RBI's monetary report warns for the amount that consists of the outstanding loans which are remain yet to be paid and hence it has put temporary hold on the proliferation of Credit derivatives but the averse doesn't seem elusive.


So i think our intelligent Entrepreneurs and respectable government would do their best to avoid this catastrophic situation

My Stance on Nuke Deal..

Well, to start with its not exactly my stance but some points which should be put in front of govt. before it goes for a deal...Here are they!!!!

Nuke Deal!!!.......Now a days it seems that nothing is important but the civil nuke co-operation with US...I am not against this deal but in my view the government should not haste for such a significant issue regarding energy......there are some points i would like to put in this debate which are preventing me for favouring this deal fully.....


Firstly,the govt. is pursuing the pact on grounds of energy requirements,But if we try to look towards other renewable sources of energy like wind power(which is about 7200MW against 4120MW of nuclear energy...also acc. to suzlon,INdia hold the wind power capacity of 45000MW),solar power(a mere .5% of indian electricity demand)they dont contribute to a large percentage of india electricity demand so why not try to increase them instead of so large investments on nuclear power(it can be done afterwards also).
solar energy holds huge potential as a source of energy if investment is done on it......


Secondly,If govt. is so keen in developing India as a nuclear power so why not develop indegenious reactors instead of importing those reactors.(moreover i read that US has not gt even a single order for the export of those reactors since 1980s).Also the investment on the importing would be larger than the prodcution and development of vernacular energy alternatives


Well, seeing all this i thing govt. should reconsider the situation and should not hurry with the deal.I respect Mr. Manmohan Singh and i hope that he takes the right decision.....

PLus, personally i am somewhat skeptic about US policies which right from the beginning of globalisation have been highly biased and were totally against developing countries..(take example of the oil prices)

P.S-Facts and figures are taken from reliable sources......Plz report immediately for any discrepancy....
