Streetcause CMRIT,being one of the active divisions of streetcause hyderabad always strives to serve the society what ever the circumstances maybe. After a short break in pandemic situation we were back with a slogan\"PLANT A SAPLING THIS MONSOON,GIVE THIS PLANET A BOON\". We have an event which rejuvenates the earth without violating covid pandemic norms.when I(Akshith muppidi- associate president SC CMRIT) have come up with the idea of green challenge our president likith and former president adarsh were very supportive. Together we have discussed with remaining Executive board and made plan of action for the challenge. On the day one we have posted our pics on insta and started nominating people. Starting with our director to alumni of streetcause we have nominated all the people. Initially people were passive but our new board members akhilesh, Sharath and rajeshwari took up the responsibility of motivating volunteers. Our former president adarsh made all the alumni participate in challenge and finally after the plantation of 100+ Saplings, now it has become a chain reaction in our institution this monsoon. It wouldn't be possible without the support of our team mates shankar prasad, former mentor ratan Vikram, pavan and samuel. <\/p>","type":"txt","id":1593024448649}]
Indian soldiers are fighting from all the sides of our country with the cruel opponents to give us security.Soldiers are one of the greatest assets of any country.

Moreover, they are a very selfless lot who put the interest of the country above their personal interest.\u00a0A soldier\u2019s job is one of the toughest things to do in the world.

Climate change is real, in fact 17 out of the 18 hottest years on record since 1880 have occurred since 2001. Earth\u2019s average surface temperature has risen by nearly 2 degrees Fahrenheit since the late 19th century. Diminishing polar ice caps and retreating glaciers as a result of climate change are just as worrisome. Greenland has lost as much as 60 cubic miles of ice between 2002-2006. Similarly, Antarctica had lost around 36 cubic miles of ice between 2002-2005 and we\u2019re in 2020, so it would be far higher at the moment. Since 1900, the global average sea level has risen by about 7-8 inches, the most occurring since 1993. The number of record high temperatures have started increasing while the number of record low temperatures have started decreasing since 1950. <\/p>
<\/p>
\nBut despite the countless studies, research works and publications on climate change, people still doubt its existence and consider it as something as a work of fiction. People tend to believe bad things won\u2019t happen to them and that effects of climate change will come in the future and is not a problem for the present, when in fact it is here knocking at our door, ready to exact revenge upon us for all the ignorant ills that we have brought on nature, nature\u2019s fury if you will. Instances like higher frequencies of bush fires and forest fires, cyclones, irregular snowfalls and rainfalls in unlikely places etc. that are a direct consequence of climate change make people instead think that weather and climatic phenomenon are random and they aren\u2019t related to climate change at all. <\/p>
\nPeople from developed countries blame developing countries for climate change who in turn contest that industrialisation is a necessary for them and in turn blame the developed nations for harming the climate to attain wealth and cause more harm to the climate due to their lifestyles. While people continue to argue on climate change and who are responsible for it, be it due to personal beliefs, political propaganda or commercial and economical gains, Mother Nature won\u2019t discriminate between the victims in its path of wrath, with the impoverished souls suffering the most with no way of defending themselves form the elements. <\/p>
\nWhile it may be late, this may still be reversable or at least possible to reduce the impact of climate change. We have all studied since our school lives about rain water harvesting, solar panels etc. to help save the climate and increase our dependence on renewable and eco friendly energy sources, so we have the knowledge but not a single soul bothers to implement it. It comes down to taking the initiative ourselves rather than waiting for the government to take steps, something that it\u2019ll probably never will, not in the foreseeable future at least. <\/p>
More pressure and lobby movements need to be done to force the government to implement eco friendly and conservation laws. In many instances, the government is itself responsible for large scale damage to nature such as in the case of the Brazil forest fires with the Bolsanaro government at its centre. <\/p>
\nThe current coronavirus pandemic has added to our plastic pollution woes with all the masks being dumped around and no place for them to go. To counter this, research is being conducted into plastic eating bacteria and microbes, but the process needs to be hastened enough to be able to put it into commercial use. More efficient desalination plants need to be brought up to ensure potable water by recycling unfit for drinking water. Large scale afforestation measures need to be carried out on an individual scale and the plants and saplings need to be looked after. Often times some random politician will plant a sapling for the 2 minutes fame and then go away while some goat or cow chews it up. <\/p>
\nWe need to reshape our eating habits and reduce our meat intake. Poultry and dairy meat products contribute a lot to methane and other greenhouse gases. While people are hyped about electric cars, the electricity would generally come from coal power plants. Again, we need to shift towards tidal and solar energy sources or other eco friendly ones. Smaller nations need to learn from the example of Bhutan that is a carbon negative nation. <\/p>
While there are countless other steps that can be taken, none of that matters if we don\u2019t do anything about it. We all already have the necessary knowledge having studied about it for years, but have done nothing yet. The time draws nigh and this is our chance to reverse climate change while its still reversible lest there won\u2019t be a future to look forward to, much less a future to live in.<\/p>"}]
A lot has already been said about Sushant Singh Rajput\u2019s death. Being a human, outpouring of emotions on social media was expected. 2020 has been a cruel year, and it had already taken away two favourites \u2013 ARUN JAITLEY ji, SHUSMA SWARAJ, Irrfan and Rishi Kapoor \u2013 and, like many others, I had felt bad about their deaths. But what Sushant\u2019s suicide triggered in many of us, including me, is a different kind of trauma. <\/p>
\nSushant\u2019s story is the story of every \u2018outsider\u2019 \u2013 every small town, middle class youngster who wants to make it big in any field, and who is alienated, bullied, mocked and sidelined to make way for \u2018one of their own\u2019, those who belong to cliques. That is what makes Sushant\u2019s story so relatable. <\/p>
\nFortunately, Bollywood also has Kangana Ranaut, who is known to frequently ruffle feathers by calling out nepotism and hypocrisy in the film industry, and every field \u2013 be it Bollywood, politics, law, sports, media or the corporate world \u2013 needs a Kangana to call a spade a spade. <\/p>
\nYou see nepotism in Bollywood is out there on display for everyone to see. But the real nepotism that has caused so much stagnation, corruption and oppression in our country is far less obvious but just as pervasive.\n\n\n\n\nThere is a belief that keeping money inside the family is the best way to protect assets and also keep the next generation in check. <\/p>
\n1st instance; <\/p>
\nIt's the MBA grad who had his parents take out a loan to pay for his course, and when he finally gets a job at a family-run company he finds himself creating marketing plans, economic forecasts and presentation materials that end up being presented at formal meetings by his employer's college-going child. <\/p>
\n2nd instance; <\/p>
\nIt's the young doctor looking to join a reputed practice but is unable to afford to start his own clinic so he goes to work for a family practice. The husband and wife doctor team run the show and of course, as soon as their son has passed medical school (by whatever means necessary), he inherits the practice. <\/p>
\n3rd instance; <\/p>
\nIt's the young architect who dreams of designing buildings but doesn't have the language skills to land a posh position in a top boutique firm. So he ends up in a family where he designs the buildings and then the owner's son who otherwise gallivants from parties to vacations comes in and gives the building a name and is given rank in the firm. <\/p>
\nLast year it was reported that 15 of the top 20 business groups in India are family-owned. They collectively manage over \u20b926 lakh crores of assets. Now, not everyone who has succeeded was born with a silver spoon. We know the rags to riches story of Dhirubhai Ambani. But we also know the story of his two sons. <\/p>
\nWhile Ms. Ranaut tried to find her way through the film industry and find a position for herself, so too are the young MBA grads, doctors and architects I mention above. But there is no social media outrage for them. In fact, there is no union or fraternity to even speak out about this. The employees will never speak of disenfranchisement\u2014they know their limits. <\/p>
\nSee, most of these individuals are talented, qualified and skilled. While they work hard, they also are aware of the reality that no matter how much they excel, they will never be able to join the ranks of the families they work for. <\/p>
\nI would love to say that nepotism ultimately makes sense. Because it keeps families together and brings out everyone's best qualities. But that's not the reality. <\/p>
\nI always laugh when I hear an aunty here tell me that I'm \"like their son\". It's a lovely sentiment but an expression I don't quite accept because there is a difference. Invisible and visible lines are drawn between individuals not related to the family and the family itself. Do you think Amitabh Bachchan would have thrown out Hrithik Roshan's character the same way he tossed out Shah Rukh Khan in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (incidentally, a Karan Johar film)? <\/p>
\nI've had my own personal struggles with my extended family as a result of my long-term health battle. I never questioned the pecking order and I knew where I stood and so before I let expectations destroy me, I withdrew from the equation.<\/p>
\nInherently, in our culture, there is a belief that family will not betray the sanctity of the clan or air their dirty laundry outside the house. There is an unspoken bond of blood that negates any rational thinking that trust can be bestowed upon anyone from the outside. There is also a belief that keeping money inside the family is the best way to protect assets and also keep the next generation in check. Ultimately, it seems this might be the biggest reason why nepotism is alive and thriving in India. <\/p>
\nAlmost 10 out of 10 times when I visit an elderly patient here, I'm amazed by the fear they have amassed about their own children. Rich or poor, despite having left everything to their children, they fear that they won't be cared for properly, and if they become incapacitated, their value will drop to zero. <\/p>
\nThe sons and daughters of these businesses and industries usually choose to hire professional carers for their elderly parents. Sure the kids will sit there in the hospital room, bring in the lawyer to sign business contracts at the death bed, but they won't change a diaper or walk with their parent to the washroom. <\/p>
\nFor me, this is actually the time when we have to shine the most. I would love to say that nepotism is something to be proud of because ultimately it makes sense. Because it keeps families together and brings out everyone's best qualities. But that's not the reality. <\/p>
\nWe cannot reach the heights we dream of because of these vocational monarchies that exist across the country, from small shops to big corporations. <\/p>
\nBut what has happened is that financial success and greed take precedence over effort, love and dedication when nepotism prevails. <\/p>
\nWe are currently living in a country where much is made of the fact that our Prime Minister once worked as a tea seller. For better or worse, he is a self-made man. Without a family per se, he's now managed to assemble, for him, the best team possible. Without a place for nepotism, actual accomplishment and loyalty to his beliefs are prevailing. Whether or not one is aligned with what the PM and his team stand for, it can't be refuted that his legacy is more along the lines of Ms. Ranaut rather than, say, Rahul Gandhi. <\/p>
\nIn a country with over a billion people, when we hear that 15 of the 20 biggest companies are family-owned or where two of the three big Khans have \"industry\" parents, it shouldn't surprise us but it should alarm us. We cannot reach the heights we dream of because of these vocational monarchies that exist across the country, from small shops to big corporations. goals<\/p>
\nNepotism cripples all of us, in every profession, at every socio-economic level \u2013 and nobody can refute that.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1592905253366","data":"5ef1cfa81313f"}]
After the Galwan Valley skirmish<\/i> wherein we have lost 20 invaluable lives, the popular idea resonating in Indian streets and social media is that Indians should boycott Chinese goods and thus teach China a lesson<\/i>.However, this in reality will have more repercussions on India than China.The phone we use to toys our children play with, the Indian economy is heavily dependent on Chinese investment. In the absence of a viable alternative and proper strategy, boycotting Chinese products will affect India more than China.<\/p>
Why the #Boycott China is an ill-advised move?<\/b><\/p>
1. Trade deficits are not necessarily bad.<\/p>
Trade deficit\/surpluses are just accounting exercises and having a trade deficit against a country doesn\u2019t make the domestic economy weaker or worse off.India has a trade surplus with countries like US,UK. But this does not necessarily mean that Indian economy is stronger than these countries.<\/p>
So, having a trade deficit is good?<\/i> <\/p>
Of course, running persistent trade deficits across all countries raises two main issues.One, availability of foreign exchange reserves to buy the imports.Today, India has more than 500 billion dollar of forex good enough to cover imports for 12 months.Two, lack of domestic capacity to produce in the most efficient manner.<\/p>
2.The poor are the most hurt.<\/p>
This is because poor are more price-sensitive.For instance, if Chinese TVs were replaced by either costlier Indian TVs or less efficient ones, unlike poor, richer Indians may buy the costlier option.Similarly, the Chinese products that are in India are already paid for. By banning their sale or avoiding them, Indians will be hurting fellow Indian retailers.Again, this would hit poorest retailers more due to inability to cope with the unexpected losses.<\/p>
3. Will punish Indian producers and exporters<\/p>
Several businesses in India import intermediate goods and raw materials, which, in turn, are used to create final goods, both for the domestic Indian market as well as the global market .An overwhelming proportion of Chinese imports are in the form of intermediate goods such as electrical machinery, nuclear reactors, fertilizers, optical and photographic measuring equipment organic chemicals etc.Such imports are used to produce final goods which are then either sold in India or exported. A blanket ban on Chinese imports will hurt all these businesses at a time when they are already struggling to survive, apart from hitting India\u2019s ability to produce finished goods.<\/p>
4. Will barely hurt China<\/p>
While China accounts for 5 percent of India\u2019s exports and 14 percent of India\u2019s imports, India\u2019s imports from China are just 3 percent of China\u2019s total exports.More importantly, China\u2019s imports from India are less than 1 percent of its total imports.The point is that if India and China stop trading then China would lose only 3 percent of its exports and less than 1 percent of its imports.However, India will lose 5 percent of its exports and 14 percent of its imports.On the whole, it is much easier for China to replace India than for India to replace China.Ban can also seize Chinese funding to many Indian businesses.In short term, replacing Chinese products with Japan or Germany, will only increase our total trade deficit.If on the other hand, we decide to use Indian products, that too would cost us more.<\/p>
5. India will lose policy credibility<\/p>
It has also been suggested that India should renege on existing contracts with China.This can be detrimental for India\u2019s effort to attract foreign investment.As one of the first things an investor especially foreign,tracks is the policy credibility and certainty.If policies can be changed overnight or if the government itself reneges on contracts, investor will either not invest or demand higher returns for the increased risk.<\/p>
6. Raising tariffs is mutually assured destruction<\/p>
Many argue that India should just slap higher import duties on Chinese goods or apply prohibitive tariffs on final goods.By doing this, firstly India would be violating rules of the World Trade Organization.Secondly, it would make China and many others to reciprocate in the same way.<\/p>
Equating border dispute with trade is no panacea <\/b><\/p>
The first thing to understand is that turning a border dispute into a trade war is unlikely to solve the border dispute.Worse, given India and China\u2019s position in both global trade as well as relative to each other, this trade war will hurt India far more than China.Thirdly, these measures will be most poorly timed since the Indian economy is already at its weakest point ever,facing a sharp GDP contraction. <\/p>
When is \"Boycott China\" possible?<\/b><\/p>
\nWhen the economical gap between India and China is narrowed, the country, prompted by emotions of nationalism amid the standoff between the two countries, can boycott Chinese products and carve out a path for AtmaNirbhar Bharat. <\/i><\/p>
Made in China<\/i> label has over the years catapulted into every possible industry operating in India. This includes the well known consumer durables comprising electronic goods, textile and garment industry, toys, medicines, car components but also encompass the Indian digital sector consisting of applications, OTT platforms, e-commerce companies and consumer fashion accessories etc. <\/p>
In long term, under the banner of self reliance,India must develop its domestic capabilities and acquire a higher share of global trade by raising its competitiveness.But no country is completely self-sufficient and that is why trade is such a fantastic idea.It allows countries to specialize in what they can do most efficiently and export that good while importing whatever some other country does more efficiently.Need of hour is well thought and balanced approach involving the following <\/p>
Evolving comprehensive China policy<\/i><\/p>
Strong political direction, mature deliberation and coherence are keys to handling the situation.Army\u2019s role can involve tactical adjustments and manoeuvres to deter the Chinese.But comprehensive China strategy should be left to those tasked with national security policy.Chinese transgressions in Sikkim and Ladakh can provide learning lessons for our future strategy.A complete strategy would involve military, diplomatic and political levels.<\/p>
Future plan of action Defence<\/i><\/p>
India should take the initiative on a timely and early clarification of the LAC.Identify areas of conflict and mark such areas as demilitarized by both sides through joint agreement.At the same time, India must stand resolute and firm in the defence of territory in all four sectors of the border.Contacts between the two militaries \u2014 joint exercises and exchanges of visits of senior Commanders \u2014 should be scaled down for short term future.Diplomatic channels must continue to be open and should not be restricted in any way as they are essential in the current situation.A border settlement is part of long term strategy.<\/p>
Strengthening alliances<\/i><\/p>
The events in Galwan Valley should be a wake-up call to re invent it\u2019s South and east Asia policy.This is an opportunity for India to align its interests much more strongly with the U.S. as a principal strategic partner.India should also infuse more energy into its relations with Japan, Australia, and the ASEAN.The time has also come for India to reconsider its stand on joining the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.To disengage from economic involvement with China, and build the capacities and capabilities it needs in manufacturing, and in supply chains networks closer home, India has to think in the long terms<\/p>
Future of business, trade and investment between two countries<\/i> <\/p>
Indian businesses in China and Chinese business operations in India can expect tougher future.The scenario on trade and investments could encounter similar obstacles.Areas of on national security, as in the cyber field and in telecommunications should take necessary reduction in import of Chinese items.<\/p>
So, the phrase BOYCOTT CHINA should instead be DEVELOP INDIA, in as many sectors and as many ways possible in order to become self reliant and stand as a strong alternative to Chinese products.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1592895923434","data":"5ef0caea54af2"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1592895923435","data":"5ef0cac456cf1"}]
Ever shared something on social media before realizing it was fake? For me, social media has become the best way to get news. On Facebook, I can read news from my favorite newspapers every day. On Twitter, by following top European and Swedish public figures, I can read their opinions about various events before they get picked up by journalists. On LinkedIn, I keep track of the latest business and tech developments and follow discussions in my professional communities. I appreciate social media for giving me an opportunity to stay informed on the latest news simply by scrolling through my newsfeeds. At the same time, for me, social media has become a place where I can get equally disinformed. And worse still, I too have been guilty of sharing news that I later learned to be fake. Rumors, fake news, and other data privacy issues might always have existed, so why are we talking so much about it now \u2013 and why the sudden considerable attention in the media? <\/p>
Trolls, bots, and privacy breaches, for our own safety, should we just give up social media altogether? Recent viral news of data breaches, together with other problems including addiction, cyberbullying, identity theft, trolls, and bots, etc. certainly offer a good cause.<\/p>
Can we stop the spread of fake news? <\/p>
Printed media like newspapers and journals build a relationship with their readers based on reputation. They establish this reputation by carefully checking information before publishing it. On social media, however, there are no editors, which allows all kinds of content to spread without control. Social media companies have started waking up to potential threats on their platforms. But, meanwhile, what can we do to protect ourselves from fake news? I think that, in this context, we shouldn't disregard the role of consumers themselves. As one of our respondents answered: \"You should read and figure it out yourself\" and another one added that \"People should be taught how to do research correctly and find the truth if they have read something online that has no reliable sources.\" And they are right. Shouldn't we be more critical towards the information we find online? We each have the personal responsibility of being editors ourselves, instead of demanding social media companies to play this role and double-check the information we consume. <\/p>
So, whose responsibility is it to stop fake news? <\/p>
Fake news on social media is a complex phenomenon and probably has to be addressed from various angles. There's no denying the role that social media companies have in controlling the spread of fake news on their platforms. But we, social media users, also have a role to play. For example, by learning to verify information that we read on social media platforms. Personal responsibility can be the first step to protecting the fabric of our societies. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1592846417914","data":"5ef0ec67b9ccd"}]
India-China trade and border disputes are always in the news. Amid this stand-off, Indian people threaten to boycott Chinese products. But it is feasible for India? China exports to India account for only 2 percent of its total exports. So even if Indians boycott all the products imported from China, it will not make as big impact on China. Calls to boycott China made products have erupted across India after 20 soldiers died for country in a violet face off with Chinese troops in Ladakh\u2019s Galwan valley<\/u> late Monday night. The protesters have also demanded revenge and serving of trade ties. <\/p>
The basic reason for the popularity of Chinese products in India is the low price of products. The cost of production of Indian manufacturers is high due to costly raw material, the old techniques of production, higher fixed cost. Due to the higher cost of production Indian products cannot compete with Chinese products in India. It is true that Chinese companies are more efficient than Indian companies. Since India\u2019s infrastructure is not well developed. <\/p>
\nIndia can\u2019t prevent the supply of Chinese products in Indian market because as per the rules made by the World Trade Organisation, it not possible to impose a full ban on imports from any country even there are no diplomatic and trade relations with that country. But the government of India can ban some Chinese products on the basis of health and security issues. Commerce and Industry Minister<\/u> replied that government had banned Chinese mobiles that don\u2019t have an IMEI number. China has also banned Indian milk products on the basis of serious health issues. <\/p>
It is well known fact that the Indian market is a price sensitive market. Indian consumers are more concerned about the price of the products than the quality of the products. So, if Chinese products are banned in India, it can raise the inflation rate in India because Indian products are costlier as compare to Chinese products. The people of the lower income groups will suffer a lot because they will not able to purchase costly Indian products. Boycotting Chinese products would mean fewer cheap products for consumers in India. <\/p>
\nA number of the sectors would be affected if India decides to boycott Chinese products. To be able to boycott Chinese products, India needs to reduce its trade deficit with China and strengthen its manufacturing sector to be able to produce goods back home, providing cheaper products to customers. A reduction in the imports of cheaper capital goods would also push up costs, making products costlier, affecting the consumers. <\/p>
\nIf all these are done in proper manner, we can manufacture the same products here in less cost and supply the same in market. \n\n<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1592894259975","data":"5ef1a4b6dd761"}]

INDIA noticed that the economical gap between India and China is narrowed<\/i>. Now, one of the main reasons why India hath emphasized to boycott \u201cmade in china\u201d products is that the present pandemic <\/i>COVID-19 is originated from China. Owing to this pandemic; almost all the countries hath declared lock down, which completely effects the financial situation<\/i> of the country.<\/p>
Not only India, but also many other countries like Philippines, United States and Vietnam wants to boycott Chinese products and made some slogans like \u201cBoycott made in china<\/i>\u201d, \u201cstop using and buying Chinese products<\/i>\u201d. The common reasons for this include \u201clow quality of products<\/i>\u201d, human rights issues, territorial conflicts involving china, etc.<\/p>
\u201cMade in China\u201d Products<\/u><\/b>:<\/p>
Chinese products are cheaper than the original ones. Chinese people stand first in many aspects like education, technology, etc. There are many breaches regarding the trusted laws. There were some illegal attacks planned by China. The USA hath banned the license to the Chinese organisations like Huawei. There were many security leaks. Most precisely, Chinese goods are treated as duplicates which are almost similar to the original ones in glance and performance.<\/p>
Most of the electronic devices and its spare parts are made in China. There are many manufacturing units for electronic gadgets in China. Even the brands which are marked as Indian uses the parts made in China; they\u2019re only assembled in India. Since, they\u2019re assembled in India; they\u2019re called \"Indian brands\"<\/i>. But, deep inside; it\u2019s a Chinese product.<\/p>
Why is china so popular in producing goods???<\/b><\/p>
Gigantic population, production efficiency & intensity and capital<\/i> are the three crucial factors<\/i> that have attributed to China\u2019s economy<\/i>. Raw materials of products are cheaper<\/i> because of two factors. One, most of them are produced in China itself<\/i>. And the other one is that, China only has VAT taxation system which allows taxing only value-added services<\/i>. So, the production is cheap<\/i>.<\/p>
Overpopulation <\/i>is the main reason for manufacturing low-quality products<\/i>. Most of the firms cannot find enough of the needed raw materials to produce goods that serve the customer requirements. So, they\u2019re producing instead versions made with cheaper or low-quality material. One of the main reasons why companies manufacture their products in China is because of the lower-wage workers<\/i> available over there in that country\u2026<\/p>
Implementation<\/u><\/b>:<\/p>
\u201cMade in China\u201d brands can be boycotted with a pinch of patriotism<\/i> but we cannot ban all the Chinese products. Because, we don\u2019t have manufacturing units<\/i> for all the commodities in India.<\/p>
In the reality of electronic gadgets; most of the processors, RAMs, display screens, etc that are used to build a mobile, television, laptop or a computer system are only manufactured in china. If we stop importing their goods; we may not be able to move as fast as we\u2019re moving now. But still, we can survive. If they stop importing our goods; it again effects our economy<\/i>.<\/p>
Everyone cannot afford all the original products which are a bit expensive; so, there are people who do compromise owing to their financial situation. In order to pass through; they purchase cheaper ones which satisfies their needs. And, those cheaper ones are products by Chinese companies. Practically, it\u2019s not an easy task to simply boycott the Chinese products just like that. They may lack in quality; but not in quantity\u2026<\/p>
It\u2019s not just those who consume the final finished goods from China, there are also several businesses in India importing intermediate goods and raw materials such as electrical machinery, nuclear reactors, fertilizers, optical and photographic measuring equipment, organic chemicals, etc, that are used to create final goods for both, the domestic Indian market as well as the global market<\/b><\/i>.<\/p>
Reality<\/u><\/b>:<\/p>
It is much easier for China<\/b> to replace India than for India to replace China. If India and China stop trading, then China would lose only 3% of its exports and less than 1% of its imports, while India will lose 5% of its exports and 14% of its imports<\/i>\u2026<\/p>
India is heavily dependent on Chinese products. If we should boycott all the Chinese products; there are many actions and steps to be taken by the Indian government. Our Indian government should encourage<\/i>:<\/p>
\u2022\tEntrepreneur\u2019s: To get newer ideas\u2026<\/p>
\u2022\tStart-up\u2019s: For useful inventions\u2026<\/p>
\u2022\tSetting up manufacturing units: Not to relay on China\u2026<\/p>
\u2022\tEasy access to business loans.<\/p>
\u2022\tHealth and safety regulations in the organisations.<\/p>
\u2022\tEnvironmental protection laws.<\/p>
\u2022\tEfficient business ecosystems.<\/p>
\u2022\tFactors aid in keeping the cost of production low.<\/p>
\u2022\tTechnological advancement in terms of machinery and industrial resources.<\/p>
\u2022\tValue Added Tax (VAT) system.<\/p>
\u2022\tTrading\u2026<\/p>
\u2022\tSmartphones industries.<\/p>
\u2022\tTelecom equipment industries.<\/p>
\u2022\tTelevision and smart TV industries.<\/p>
\u2022\tHome Appliances firms.<\/p>
\u2022\tAuto components firms.<\/p>
\u2022\tInternet Apps.<\/p>
\u2022\tPharmaceuticals industries.<\/p>
\u2022\tSteel industries.<\/p>
\u2022\tSolar power firms.<\/p>
\u2022\tLiteracy rate.<\/p>
The present Indian economical and industrial rules and guidelines are not enough to achieve all these things in and to boycott \u201cmade in china\u201d products. Not even in the upcoming 5 years. The income generated to India by exporting the goods from India to China is very meagre. Lest, the income generated to China by exporting goods from China to India is four times more\u2026<\/p>
The Literacy rate also plays a vital role. Everyone should be a literate. India should invest in start-ups. Chinese hath already invested in many Indian start-ups rather than India. Our India is still called as a developing country since many years. We can boycott Chinese products and make India as a developed country by encouraging all the above things. The India should strive hard and make the necessary changes to <\/i>develop the country<\/b>...<\/i><\/p>

An estimate of 2500 Indian companies has set up factories in China due to the low cost of production and cheap labour charge in India. The government pays a subsidy to the manufacturing sectors which reduces the cost of goods production. Additionally, a huge quantity of the goods is manufactured by the Chinese that reduces the cost of per unit. <\/p>
\nMany consumer products are made in Chinese factories such as Whirlpool, IFB etcetera due to the aforementioned reasons and are sold in India. If India were to boycott Chinese manufacturing products, the industry will soar with higher prices in the market. <\/p>
\nThe products hitting higher prices will most likely to be \u2013 <\/p>
\u2022 Optics: Spectacle frame, contact lenses by Bausch and Lomb of high power <\/p>
\u2022\tElectronics: I-Phones, Apple Laptops, Lenovo Laptops, Dell, Acer, Sony, Fujitsu Laptops <\/p>
\u2022\tTelevisions: Sony, National, Panasonic (Plasma Models), 3D Televisions <\/p>
\u2022\tBranded Shoes: Nike, Reebok, and Adidas etc. <\/p>
\u2022\tHard Disks: Seagate and Samsung make which are in 80% laptops or computers. <\/p>
\u2022 Cell phones: Oppo, Vivo phones (Chinese Make, made in India) <\/p>
\u2022\t70% of school equipment: Geometry Boxes, Rulers, Pencils of High Quality (Especially Erasers and Sharpeners) <\/p>
\u2022 Camera: Video Cameras and D-SLR Cameras <\/p>
The industry which is most likely to be badly affected is the toy industry. The Chinese imported toys are so cheap that Indian toy manufacturers are finding it very hard to compete with the Chinese company. China has already impacted the Indian electronic Industry by exporting cheap electronic items such as Diwali lights. Although, nowadays Indians are cautious before using them. <\/p>
The main question still prevails, can we survive the ban on Chinese goods? Will the general public be a sufferer or a benefit from this? <\/p>
I would say that we will suffer for a while. Chinese have penetrated too deep into the roots and it will be difficult to untangle the roots and emerge out of it. Even if the government wants us to be self-reliant, it will be difficult to carry on well for a few years. Indians will have to make a good quality product to be sold at a decent price with great efficiency and not incline into \u2018jugaad\u2019 or makeshift products.<\/p>
Indians cannot really prevent the supply of Chinese products in the Indian Market because of the rules made by the World Trade Organisation. As per the rules, it is not possible to impose a full ban on imports from any country even if there are no diplomatic, regional, and trade relations with that country.<\/p>
However, the Indian Government can ban a few Chinese products if it imposes health and security risk. For instance, Commerce and Industry Minister mentioned in Lok Sabha that the Govt. of India had banned Chinese mobiles that don\u2019t have an IMEI number. <\/p>
To conclude, Indian Government must take a rational decision instead of a personal patriotic decision on this matter keeping in mind that China sends just 2% of its total export to India while India sends 8% of its total export to China.\n\n\n<\/p>"}]
Recent howling and rage amongst the Indians, especially the youngsters are fair and justified on the basis of all pandemic diseases worldwide, which typically originated from China. With all the speculations about the Chinese government foul play for the world to submerge into the disaster is a huge matter enough for the anger and resentment amidst the crowd of the world, and not only India.\n\nBut then, in our country, through social media, we take the matter in our own hands and bombard our views until they get viral and reach the government. The recent development on the same being, when we showed our grand interest in boycotting each and every material which has the name \u2018Made in China\u2019 or even \u2018China\u2019 and \u2018Chinese\u2019 in it. Social media is full of stories and posts where we can see the solution to discard the Chinese made apps and install its replacement to work with. Great! Absolutely great!\n\nMeanwhile, when we were busy doing this, the Chinese military made its move in the border, and that even concluded the loss of lives of our army soldiers. These all events worked as a catalyst to create hatred and detestation in India, which resulted in such outbursts that we want to ban those products.\n\nNow, see to this scenario, where Donald Trump made a statement to put down all the United States companies in China and establish it in India. That\u2019s indeed a piece of good news for us, but will that happen? Since we already know that Mr. Trump often loses his temper and makes some statements which he later doesn\u2019t act on.\n\nWith all these viewpoints, I would like to make my judgment on this matter. China has the power and population. The country is a great industrialist. If the rest of world, or even India, ban China and stopped importing or exporting products, the world economy may collapse. There are several operations and supply chains which are convoluted with China, and replacing all those in such a haste would lose employment and will be disastrous to all of us, even more than this pandemic disease which we are dealing with.\n\nNow, can it be possible in the coming five years? Well, probably not. But we can start making a few changes on the same. Banning all the products at once will surely not help us, rather than picturing the effect that it might feel great. But that would be like hitting the ax on your foot. So, better to proceed with the gradual change and work out it in some years rather than filled with hatred and making a mistake. <\/p>","type":"txt","id":1592763248224}]
