Why Muslims are vehemently opposing the Uniform Civil Code?  Why don’t let their woman have equal rights?  Why are they following outdated religious scripts?  Why are they not joining with mainstream life?  Why are they not accepting the law of the country? Don’t they know that the petition is filed by Muslim women only?  Are they special in this country?  And more and more questions are raised by Non Muslims.   Well, not all the questions are relevant considering questioner’s lack of awareness about the petition sent to the Prime Minister by Bharathia Muslim Mahila Andolan and the concept of Uniform Civil Code. There won’t be such barrage of questions if they know the crux of the matter well. The letter sent by Bharathia Muslim Mahila Andolan to prime minister and posted on January 1, 2016 at their website clearly demands a codified personal law for Muslims. I repeat that they demand ‘a codified personal family law for Muslims’ and are ...

BJP government has suddenly taken up the Uniform Civil Code in the name of gender equality, harmony and progressiveness.  One India and One Law is the concept and has been heavily funded by some media companies in promoting pan India animosity among various political parties and communities.  One India and One Law can be catchy and media friendly to increase the TRP of television channels, but not even one percent of GDP growth.  Is One India and One Law is the forerun for One India One Language; One India One Culture; One India One Religion; One India and One ethnic, etc?      Media started discussing and debating the law commission questionnaire issued on 7 th October and we have conveniently moved away from surgical strikes and increasing terror attacks on border area.  Nevertheless, it is the arrogance of Law commission that prepared a questionnaire in an irrelevant and negative format like a school children survey questionnaire. I have...

Isn’t?    The fundamentals of sale process remain same in any sales process, but in social media we face numerous challenges.  In physical sales, words, sounds, body language, modulation, tone of voice are all important to convince the customer apart from product presentation.   However, in virtual world we require relying on customer profile analyses by understand their social behavior, preferences, etc, during sales process.  Establishing a social selling division ease the sales process with progressive methodologies for effective results.   Social Media platforms are being used to create lot of noises and require funneling them into action.

Flap of a butterfly in Brazil can create a tornado in Texas is a famous chaotic theory explaining the sensitive nature of business.    Too many small things or effects are uncovered in our business and in daily life let alone understanding the causes.  Everyday there are butterfly flaps happening around us and we gave very little attention to it, because, we always worry about bigger effects and failures.  Often, we fail to understand that the bigger failure is the collection of smaller failures that keep happening in our daily life.  While we may have one or two mechanism to uncover the internal warnings using strong business intelligence tools and holistic monitoring of data analyses, but we have very little control on external sensitive developments.   Knowing the business landscape and our company position or vulnerability is paramount to sustainability.  Most businesses fall in trouble due to failure in understanding the butterf...

We can, some have, except an idiot driving in opposite direction, but we are perplexed with the reverse driving in Indian politics.  BJP, the party is always at best to drive in reverse direction, better known as retrogressive force, now have a competition with RJD and JD(U).   SJP is waiting to jump into the fray soon when UP assembly elections are due.  Yes, for next three years we are going to witness the fight between Kamandal and Mandal.  If this is called ‘development’ spearheaded by BJP, then we need to produce millions of brooms to clean the country for next fifteen years.  It is all started with drifting of Modi from ‘development agenda’.  I have one or more reasons to wonder whether Modi has really drifted away or we misread the word ‘development’.  Today, the meaning of development, at least, to me seems ‘development of divisive politics to consolidate Hindu votes’.  Will Modi or Amit will take a pain to address the right mea...

Man is a social animal and true to this affix he made the society to be his jungle.  He always found ways to complicate anything he can touch and in the process he unravels new ideas and thoughts.  Man is a funny creature because sometime he works in divine mode and many times works on devil intentions.  Fun apart, jungles have no regulations and animals have only one rule that is ‘kill to survive’.  Now, the market is full of competing businesses with warfare tactics and effectively killing each other to survive.  Is it something to do with the imbibed characteristic ever since the first man Adam came to this world or behavioral characteristic emboldened through survival challenges?  Adam’s two sons had a bitter bloody fight for a girl and subsequently younger one killed the elder.  The bloodshed started from there and the rest is our world.  In social jungle, we exhibit the same characteristics of killing others using not swords, but wo...

Most businesses fail not because of external competition or threats only, but due to internal conflicts aided by external pressures.  Failing to recognize internal changes leads to organizational conflicts resulting in tremendous disorder among people and further affecting the product and profits.  Internal transformation is vital in adapting external inevitable.  Recognizing internal transformations and further aiding them to positive effects are necessary to cope with external alterations.  If not, the unnoticed internal transformations will eventually leads to painful failures.   Failing to recognize or guiding or terminating internal transformations due to human conflicts existing in every small to big organizations.  Eighty percent of companies falter over a period of time due to equivocal challenges in market place, losing the battle in new competitions, erosion of talents to competitors because of inflexibility in adapting business transforma...

I have recently conducted a one day marketing training course to young and established marketing executives in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Knowledge is a powerful tool if it is allowed to exchange.  While the experience is absolutely mine but the knowledge is not. Knowledge and experience need to be shared in order to enlarge our own knowledge bucket and be ready for new experiences. Marketing is a phenomenal ability combining ideas, relevance, values, strategy, planning and communication.  Marketing is the backbone of any business and contributes immensely in business growth if it is performed with due relevance.  Many of the companies in Saudi Arabia, especially, the small and medium establishments thinks that Marketing is all about setting up sales agenda and outlets.  Marketing is not sales or advertising only.  It is more about exchanging values between company and customers.  People may buy the products for a price, but expects uncompromising values t...

Young India is in despair, angry and often helpless due to extravagant approach and attitude of ‘I know it all’ politicians whose style and functioning have generally splinted their own fraternity in covering one another faults and crimes.  They dug under the pretext of wisdom and experience and prevented Young India in giving any space for active participation in politics.  Wisdom and experience may have its association with time, but not necessarily connected with the advancement of age only.  The old horses were pulling India at their own speed and clamped the progress of the country; otherwise, the natural growth is often pulling the country out of woods.  The law of natural growth is taken as the personal achievement of some of the political parties and individuals and failed to give necessary impetus to nation for the growth it deserved.  Young India is pushed to IT corridors, university campus, night clubs, employment offices, street corners and use...

Saudi Arabia is planning to issue five years residence permit for expatriates.  This is a fantastic move considering present one year residence permit which brings lot of instability to expatriates living in Saudi Arabia.  In addition, it is also draining Kingdom's expatriates economy.  If expatriates are allowed to have stability in their employment, they will substantially improve the domestic spending that is vital for Kingdom's economy. You may also read my views mentioned in the article. Businesses urge govt to scrap exit/re-entry visa

If you want to rule India, the first quality is that you should be shameless and the second quality is to know how to manipulate the emotions and foolishness of people.   In India, it is possible and possible again and again, because of our foolishness, ignorance and emotions.  The political parties thrive from our emotions, ignorance and blind followings.   Political parties and leaders were able keep the momentum and add more followers to keep us remain ignorant and fools.  All the political leaders are almost doing the same thing and now we have two distinctive examples.  One is Modi and another is Jayalalitha.  Modi uses the emotions of educated and uneducated mass by offering rhetoric promises with a time frame to achieve.  He promoted himself as the savior of the nation and promised to bring back black money to India within hundred days of his government.  Now his government says that they cannot disclose the names to...

Naratha Muni have found a celestial mango fruit and brought to Lord Shiva to share with his children Ganesha and Murga, the two son gods.  Lord Shiva would like the mango to be shared equally between brothers, but Naratha had another idea.  He suggested a running race for brothers to encircle the universe and the fruit will be given to the one who can come first.  It was fascinating and thrilling to both gods and competition begins.  While Muruga jumped on his famous rider, the peacock, Ganesha with huge body and elephant face knows that he cannot match his brother’s agility, and decided to use his mind by posing a wonderful question to Lord Shiva.  ‘Is not Lord Shiva the universe?’ Lord Shiva amazed with the intelligence of Ganesha and has certainly affirmed with him. Ganesha just took a simple walk around of Lord Shiva and won the competition.   After making exhaustive circum of universe with his peacock, Murga disappointed to witness that Gane...

A college girl took some mobile photo shoots of her domestic furniture and used electronics and uploaded on an internet site for sale.  She sold it for Rs. 45,000 and paid her first semester fee in pursuit of her career dreams.  This was a television commercial for online trade website and is the perfect depiction for India’s government policy and budget presentation.    Messers Modi and Jaitely want us continue to buy their dreams in pursuit of ‘Ache Din’.  Yes dreams only and not even their vision and road maps.  After 45 days in power, Jaitley was able to understand the ‘mess’ created by UPA and decided to mess around with the ‘same’ instead of offering a new road map that can entice a new economical growth.   Instead of offering a new road, they decided to travel on the same road with different carrier.  Mr. Jaitely had to agree with his UPA predecessor for the estimated 4.1% deficit.   Perhaps, is an indication of confusi...

Modi should have thanked in heart to Congress President and Vice President for helping him to reach the coveted position of PM.  Modi knows that the hard battle of winning election is more important than sustaining a progressive government, because he can comfortably continue the programs and policies initiated by UPA without many changes.  Modi talks about development without elaborating what is development means to entire India, because he knows that UPA programs are not that bad, but required impetus.  Women reservation, public distribution system, nuclear policy, foreign policy, FDI in retail, labour law reforms, and above all crony capitalism are all already on government agenda during UPA rule, but failed to take off due to UPA’s arrogance attitude in power.  Now, Modi can smoothly sail it to harbor because of his majority in parliament.  So, why worry about policies.  It was all about election and can speak anything because it is a matter of win or...

Be ready for a larger struggle.   Modi’s victory is a part of larger war in changing the political culture of India.  His victory was forgone conclusion when Rahul Ghandi was selected to lead the Congress campaign.  Congress was mentally defeated themselves before the election began.  Thanks to reactive politics of Congress, BJP able to win the battle.  However, everyone in Indian political fraternity including media have conveniently ignoring or unaware of the seeds of change that has been laid by the force of truth in a war against false. Not many would agree with me, especially now, but soon they will realize that 2014 Indian parliament election is not about Modi’s version of development against impotent government of Congress combinations.  It’s a turning point in the history of India.  It is a beginning of a new struggle that India is ordained to engage.  This election is clearly the beginning of polarizing the people and urging th...
