India vs China Economy Going by the basic facts, the economy of China is more developed than that of In dia.

While India is the 12th largest economy in terms of the exchange rates, Chi na occupies the third position. Compared to the estimated $1.209 trillion GDP of India, China has an average GDP of around $7.8 trillion. In case of per capital GDP, India lags far behind China with just $1016 compared to $6,100 of the latt er. To make a basic comparison of India and China Economy, we need to have an id ea of the economic facts of the countries. Facts India China GDP around $1.209 trillion around $7.8 trillion GDP growth 6.7% 9.1% Per capital GDP $1016 $6,100 Inflation 7.8 % -1.2 % Labor Force 523.5 million 807.7 million Unemployment 6.8 % 4.3 % If we make the analysis of the India vs. China economy, we can see that there ar e a number of factors that has made China a better economy than India. First thi ngs first, India was under the colonial rule of the British for around 190 years . This drained the country's resources to a great extent and led to huge economi c loss. On the other hand, there was no such instance of colonization in China. As such, from the very beginning, the country enjoyed a planned economic model w hich made it stronger. Agriculture Agriculture is another factor of economic comparison of India and China. It form s a major economic sector in both the countries. However, the agricultural secto r of China is more developed than that of India. Unlike India, where farmers sti ll use the traditional and old methods of cultivation, the agricultural techniqu es used in China are very much developed. This leads to better quality and high yield of crops which can be exported. Liberalization of the market In spite of being a Socialist country, China started towards the liberalization of its market economy much before India. This strengthened the economy to a grea t extent. On the other hand, India was very slow in embracing globalization and open market economies. While India's liberalization policies started in the 1990 s, China welcomed foreign direct investment and private investment in the mid 19 80s. This made a significant change in its economy and the GDP increased conside rably. Difference in infrastructure and other aspects of economic growth Compared to India, China has a much well developed infrastructure. Some of the i mportant factors that have created a stark difference between the economies of t he two countries are manpower and labor development, water management, health ca re facilities and services, communication, civic amenities and so on. All these aspects are well developed in China which has put a positive impact in its econo my to make it one of the best in the world. Although India has become much devel oped than before, it is still plagued by problems such as poverty, unemployment, lack of civic amenities and so on. In fact unlike India, China is still investi ng in huge amounts towards manpower development and strengthening of infrastruct ure.

Corruption is the main outcome of democracy in India Favour The fact that the system provides equality to everyone ,from whatsoever backgrou nd and competency makes it easier to play around loopholes in the Indian Statute Democracy not play a direct role to prmote the corruption but it give power to t he people who could be non capable and have there own aims and shelfishness. Democracy not play a direct role to prmote the corruption but it give power to t he people who could be non capable and have there own aims and shelfishness. In damocratic system a person is chosen by other people.This procedure could be faulty because human being can be motivated trough the means of greed,or fear. Against The risk of Democracy is a systemic risk ; corruption is a personal equation and holds good or bad depending on an individual's and organization's personal valu e systems. The two should therefore not be construed/ read as a cause- effect re lationship. Democracy give choice to people to select the leaders on the basis of there capa bilty and goodness.If people choose the wrong leaders then that is not the probl em with democracy that is the problem with people. Conclusion The democracy dont support the curruption at all.But the people them selves are greedy and selfish who are motivatd for corruption.

JOB opportunities high in India or foriegn. Why? Posted By: kandasamy doss Job opportunities are high in India because now India is developed so many mnc

are open their branch in India. Here they invest low price then get high profit. So they open new branches from that we have lot of job opportunities have been produced Posted By: keerthi Yes job opportunities are more in India, which is developing now. Many foreig n companies are Opening their branches in India in the name of BPO's and CALL CE NTERS. The main reason why these foreign companies are opting India is due to the sim ple fact that India has many graduates and unemployed youth who are ready to acc ept a job with less pay then their foreign counter parts. Due to which they will gain more profits. Posted By: sowbhagyavathi As India is a developing country, the Job opportunities in India are more. India has large number of graduates and postgraduates in each and every field su ch as science and technology, IT sector, arts, etc. As the graduates and postgraduates in India are ready to expose themselves to th e world of competition, they are ready to work for less pay. The main reason for that is, the people want experience and exposure to different environment where the chance of learning several things is more. Money matters less for people who have the capacity to prove themselves. The for eign companies in the present that's openings their branches in India because th ey knew that Indians are hardworking and they have the zeal to accept and work f or the upliftment of their country Posted By: meenakshisekar No job opportunities are not only more in India but they are also more in other countries like china, Japan etc.reason is now Chinese. Japanese they are also equally competent to u and us know why china has seen a drastic change in their development? Bs they work even harder and smarter than us. Even more people and m ore opportunities are there in India do u known that we are also ranking high in unemployment? Posted By: keerthi As meena said As far as job opportunities are considered they are more in china and Japan but they don't give a chance to foreigners as in US. If we consider the opportunities for Indians I think there are more opportunitie s in India than in US or any other country abroad as most of the mnc's are openi ng their branches here

Foreign Television Channels are destroying our culture Replies: Posted By: Roopa Foreign Television channels are destroying our cultu re In my opinion as the coin has too sides ... this topic is also hav ing both advantages and disadvantages. Coming to advantages some of t he foreign channels like BBC, Discovery, National Geography, Animal Planet, BSNC , Star sports, Ten sports... are very much useful to us to update our knowledge. And the technology used by these channels is excellent. But coming to the disadvantages of course there are some channels, which destroys our Indi an culture. All it depends on our mind set. If we use those channel s in right way they will be useful to us. If we use in wrong way it creates bad impact on our culture. Posted By: faraz Yes, I believe all in all the foreign TV are de stroying our culture. We have a rich and diverse culture. But, western culture d oesn't have such values and social esteem. They have a totally different mindset as they leave the child once his 10-12 yr old. They are spoiling the values and social fabric of Indians. Posted By: chris_ti_na1234 ng our culture to a certain extend. I feel that foreign channels are destroyi But I feel Indians are people who

are much on a positive side. If only the right aspect of the channel that is ri ght content is perceived then it wont do much harm. To be very practical ban on f oreign channels is absurd, but a controlled telecast can be done. As Indian audiences are usually family, I feel that those programs that suit a fami ly could be telecasted. Various channels of educational importance l ike discovery and national geographic are worth watching by Indians. I would like to raise a question whether Indian channels are promoting Indian cu lture. I think at first a proper rule should be made for the control led telecast of visual media whether it is Indian channel or Posted By: Rena HI, India is known and it is outstanding from other companys bcoz of its culture. Still it is known for its culture. Television is a form of media to create awareness among people and to entertain people. Accordin g to me, nothing is affecting our culture. Nobody is responsible for that. Each individual is responsible for his or her success or failure. SO foreign channels r not affecting our culture. Not only television, all the available sources wil l be a favor or against to us in the way of utilization. If u looks at it in wro ng manner, it is against and vice versa. There r many channels such as BBC, DISC OVERY, STAR SPORTS, ESPN, STAR NEWS and many channels which gives us a high stan dard and gives the information about the nook and corner. But if we think that foreign channels are affecting our culture, th en not only foreign channels, Indian channels are also affecting our culture. An d it is wrong only if Indian channels affect our culture. Culture is not in the way of dressing and culture is not fashion. It is the behavior, manner etc. So a ccording to me, all depends on the way in which we take. So if u watch the chann el in a wrong way, then surely it will destroy-not our culture, it will destroy u Education in India-or the lack of it. Posted By: pooja Hello Friends, Todays education system in India has developed a lot and according to me Indias education system is top most among all over the world. But in spite of this there are many people who are illiterate because of poverty many parent s want to send their children but they are not able to because of such high scho ol's fees so govt of India should introduce a rule such that they provide proper education to the children who are below poverty line. Even Big voluntary organi zations can come forward and can help them making each and every child to be edu cated and developing our country... Posted By: raghu Hello, Education is an important aspect, which can decide the country's futur e. If the literacy in the country increases, obviously the Economy gets improved . It's better to know that the Govt. is coming up with midday meal schemes, but this alone is not sufficient to overcome the poverty or help the poor children. I suggest that the Govt. has to request the corporate companies and Private scho ols to help the poor children. And it's the responsibility of each and every ind ividual to look after the poor children for a better future of that country. One can also help the poor children by sharing the knowledge like teaching a subjec t once in a week or twice in a week in Govt schools. This can help in building a bright future for that country. Posted By: keerthi Hello every body, Yes education in India has developed a lot. In olden days only few people in a family were educated and girls were not allowed to go to schools. B ut now the TREND is something different, there is no difference between a girl a nd a boy at any aspect. But still our India in not 100% literate. This is mainly due to the poverty existing in India.

Coming to the education system in India it is memory based education but not act ivity based. As a result there are very less people with good skills and leaders hip qualities. I think schools in India both public and private must give some i mportance to activity-based education also. Instead of leaving the responsibilities to government in order to educate the po or children the private voluntary bodies has to come up, and the role of youth i s very important here. As raghu said one can help the poor by sharing the knowle dge with them Position of Women in India compared to other nations Posted By: meenakshisekar Hi all This is quite a little bit tough topic. Friends we can approach this top ic in many ways 1.reg.societial status now days women are given equal status. 2.but from the point of safety its a? Please friends give some opinions to start with.b's its a very good topic that ne eds immediate attention. Posted By: sriya Hi Though women are given reservations in many sectors, but we lack in provid ing safety measures to women when compared with other countries. The attitude to wards women must be changed. Severe punishment must be given to culprits who ind ulge in crimes. This is the main point where we lack when compared with other na tions. In Arab countries if any person commits heinous crime like rape, he is gi ven capital punishment or severe punishment is given depending upon the crime he has done. In India, we dont have any such law. Recently her driver, but what pun ishment was given to the culprit murdered a call center women employee????? Eith er fine will be charged or he will be put in jail for 3-4 months. Will this fine be the correct punishment for the culprit??? The law must be changed; punishmen t must be made severe, so that no other person even thinks of committing such cr imes against women Posted By: meenakshisekar Very good sriya I appreciate ur thoughts bs I can c ineffable expressio ns in Ur words. What u r saying is 100% correct .I agree to u ad insists the sa me. Posted By: koneru9999 Hi, The position of woman in India compared to other countries is poor. In so me villages they are considering woman as a kitchen bee. This type of attitude h as to be changed. But compared to the early days, these days women are coming out freely and participating in every field. This is a good sign. Also, as our frie nd sruya said the law has to be changed is exactly correct. If the law was chang ed then these crimes will reduces. Posted By: satwath Ya I agree what shriya says. If we take the case of Dowry System women r made to suffer a lot in India compared to other countries. We see daily in th e newspapers women setting themselves ablaze bcoz of this. They r tortured by th eir husbands and in laws fr getting more and more from their parents the women s hould suffer like this. Govt should take necessary measures to stop Dowry system in our country to prevent the women committing suicides. Indian villages - our strength or our weakness? Posted By: sargunanrm

Hai all Today we discussing in interesting topic. Indian villages .in my view is good became village people are rea lly good hard workers and innocent, and they are all living with peaceful. And t hey are all not depending with others. Everybody work and live. Suppose to take a township people they are all living machine life. Without village just imagine we cant live. They are all need. And one more thing village people are celebrating the festival is really goood.villages is not there means festival is also gone. Village people are helping with each other but township you see. Villages are must need to India. Posted By: webrsk As v discussing a really good topic. Without village no more cities and peoples can live. Coz v getting all materials for food its coming from village only by hardworking villagers. So as this view its our strength but the village need to be improved well by implementing rural d ispensary, urban educations, rights of peoples. So every citizens is become a st rength full to India. So every village is a backbone of city and every city is b ackbone of India. Posted By: links571 Indian villages surely forms an integral part of Indians new success in global arena. The main contribution that they provide is the stability of eco nomy, which is basically lacking in the cities. But their contribution by far is very less considering the fact of what they are actually capable of. Improving infrastructure may be just one of the solutions to this problem. But the root ca use lies in the thinking level of the people. An educated person thinks every as pect of life in a different way than compared to an illiterate. By building know ledge based economy our country is surely going to succeed in bringing fid s and good economic growth in the next 50 years. Posted By: sriya Hi It's an interesting topic to be debated. My opinion is villages play a vital role in our nation's development. They are a boon to us. Ours is an agr icultural land. More than 70% of our population is from villages and their occup ation is mainly agriculture. The govt has to set up small-scale industries, whic h will in turn help the farmers, weavers and many other sectors. They produce th e food, which we eat. We need to be grateful to them. But many farmers today are below poverty line. We need to educate them; their children must be sent to sch ools. The government has to see that every village has a school up to 10 the sta ndard where children below poverty line must be given free education, then one d ay our India will turn into a new leaf.

Since India is an agrarian economy, thier role csn't be ignored.We can'nt exist if villagers don't provide us with foograins,vegetables,fruits.In India even after more than 55 yrs of ind ependence majority of people live and find thier thier livelyhood in agriculture .The contribution of agriculture though declining still significant in GDP. But the basic problem which our village suffers is lack of infrastructure facilities .Govt. should upgrade it.This wud certainly boost up our economy. (Reply to this comment)

Prashant Rating: said this on 26 Apr 2007 1:30:15 AM IST Hi all, This is an important topic of discussion and every indian should give th eir openion on this. according to my view villeges are the Backbone of India.arr ound 70% population of india is villagers,who are completly depend on the Agreec ulture,or bussiness related to agriculture.so Govt should have to pay attention towords the betterment of thire life ,and their childrens life, no dout, govt tr ying to make them educated but ,the real need is to provide the quality educatio n. this education policy is also some what responsible for the bad condition of villegers.bcz no one give attention towords the quality education thats why ,the litarate qualifide people still not able to compete in the job market.and after getting well educated they dont want to work in the FARM .so the ultimate solut ion for that is to make them awair properly regarding their Future . also shoul give more attention to provide latest farming technology,proper financial suppor t, also insurance risk cover of their crops. we must stop them from going to cit yes,for that we have to provide arning sorce at their doorstep meance at villege s. better way to help them is to provide subsidease to agricultural expendeture, and should provide some support to set up the agree based processing plants. the n only they can improve their livelyhood,and afterthat only we can emagin about the Peacefull India . and if we able to do this then no one can resist us to rea ch on the top of the World.

nitin mishra Rating: said this on 30 Oct 2010 9:06:28 AM IST As the famous saying goes Grass is always greener on the other side. People who li ve in the village might long to live in the city and those in the city may long for the peace and quiet of village life. However, village life and city life hav e several differences which may attract one person or repel another. Let us see some of these differences. Firstly, The first wealth is health, an elderly person might find life in the city to be better in the long run as there is better acce ss to health care facilities and quick availability of round the clock emergency services. However, the kind of health care available in the city is not accessi ble to someone living in the village, as the village might have only a local cli nic with a rural nurse available, sometimes even a doctor might not be available in the clinic. To add on to that the clinics are not equipped with the supplies necessary for an emergency, sometimes even basic medication becomes out of stoc k and unavailable. . Cities are normally very crowded places as compared to Vill ages. In the city, you might not have the privacy that you wish for. You would n ot be able to go outside without bumping into people. You have 10 people living in a small one room kitchen and buildings just as far away as 5 feet. This howev er is a total different case in the village. You might walk for miles with out e ncountering anyone and your nearest neighbor would live miles away. The populati on of the entire village may not be more than a few hundred. Due to high populat ions and great amount of disposable income, almost everyone in the city has one vehicle or the other. These vehicles, in addition to other sources of pollution, add on to the already worsening atmosphere. On the other hand in the villages d ue to the absences of a large number of vehicles and other sources of pollution, you have abundance of fresh air and a very calm, clean and serene climatic cond itions which are good for our health...

What is the effect of movies on youth. (Is it good or bad) Posted By: keerthi Hello friends, The Indian movies greatly effect our youth. The main purpose of wat ching movies is for the sake of entertainment or to have some relief. Every thin g is ok till that point. But when we see a movie definitely we grasp something f rom that, some people may grasp good and some bad. The general attitude of the people is they quickly grasp bad thin gs and they over look good. If something good is depicted in movies they usually say its "over" or sentimental. And most of our movies in India are love oriented and there is no thing creative about them.99% of the movies are based on a love story. These are

influencing the youth to a great extent. Once our Indian culture is that a girl and a boy marries with the consent of their parents and well-wishers. But now by seeing the movies people try to imitate the character s in a movie. Most of them are committing suicides if they fail in love. Love is just a part of life why should one give up every thing if they fail in love. I think Indian movies should improve in certain aspects. The on ly motive of the directors and filmmakers is to gain more collections from movie s. They should not think in that way. A movie can influence many minds. So they must think well before making a movie. They should see that they are creative an d in some way different from routine. Posted By: sowmya571 Hello Yes keerthi ur right Indian movies have good effect on youth ... they provoke many things like violence, love. Well not all movies are like that some are good too like RANG DE BASANTHI latest one which gives inspiration to YOUTH watt they shud contribute to INDIA, how politician are, ect... Well rather than focusing on LOVE they shud promote inspiration to YOUTH, WAT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THEM so that our nation will progress. THEY SHUD BE IMPROVED ALOT Posted By: Njoy I agree with keerthi & sowmya. Movies like PAGE 3 (HINDI), AA NAluguru (Telugu) are really exemplary. Posted By: keerthi U r right soumya. There are a very few movies like "rang de basa nthi which we can count with our fingertips. Hats why I said about 99% are love o riented .The remaining 1% may come under that category. I may be wrong in numeri cal statistics but most of them are love oriented, as we all know

Globalization - Advantages & Disadvantages Posted By: BINNY Globalization has many advantages for developing and developed co untries. But, this has lead to a great dissatisfaction among the under developed /developing countries. Though Liberalization has many impacts on any country's e conomy, it has increased the per capita income. Due to globalization the business market in the world has no bound aries, they can market their products in any part of the world. This has improve d the chances of laying hands on global markets & technologies, which would defi nitely increase our Quality of Living Standards. But globalization has lead to a major dissatisfaction among under de veloped/developing countries where they are cut off from the rest of the world. This has also increased the chances of inferiority complex among these nations. Posted By: sowmya571 Hello " Globalization - Advantages & Disadvantages " The Era of Globalization" is fast becoming the preferred term f or describing the current times. Just as the Depression, the Cold War Era, the S pace Age, and the Roaring 20's are used to describe particular periods of histor y; globalization describes the political, economic, and cultural atmosphere of t oday. People around the globe are more connected to each other than eve r before. Information and money flow more quickly than ever. Goods and services produced in one part of the world are increasingly available in all parts of the world. International travel is more frequent. International communication is co mmonplace. This phenomenon has been titled "globalization." These are major adva

ntages of globalization While some people think of globalization as primarily a synonym for glob al business, it is much more than that. The same forces that allow businesses to operate as if national borders did not exist also allow social activists, labor organizers, journalists, academics, and many others to work on a global stage. There is a fundamental problem with globalization, which will cause international tension and trade disputes without arresting the process. The problem is the irrational nature of the global market, coupled with the extreme vulnerability of the poorest and most marginalized in emerging economies to sudden changes in exchange, interest rates, or big investment decis ions. Globalization therefore can sometimes be destabilizing. Everyone sells when the price is already rock-bottom You can have a bizarre situation where everyone privately thinks that the currency is already t oo low, but continues to sell hard only because they are certain that everyone e lse thinks the currency still has further to fall. Rates fall through the floor in a mass wave of panic selling, as dealers dump currency in the near certain kn owledge that they can buy it back at a profit in a few minutes, hours or days IS DOWRY NECESSARY FOR TWO PEOPLE TO GET MARRIED? Posted By: pooja Hello frnds, I totally disagree with the concept of dowry I mean we should comp letely ban this concept. So many women are getting harass and they are getting k illed cos of dowry and many of them are taking steps like they are attempting su icides which is a very shameless act so we have got the power we can change the world as only youth can change the world so youth should decide that they are no t going to take dowries. Even taking dowry is a crime but more crime is giving dowries so w e should come forward to eradicate it from our society. Posted By: sowmya571 Hello Well I totally disagree for the sole reason that a person shud take dowr y 4 marriage. Since when compared a guy will jus do a job, but a female will tak e care of home, her job as well as kids and lot more... And also what is more important is AFFECTION n LOVE 4 each other rather than all these things. I guess guys shud think reg this and change them Posted By: Vision Hey sowmya My sister always wants me to take dowry & even my Mom too. Like this lot of females supporting dowry. Not only guys but also girls also sho uld think of it. They better not to enocourage their children and brothers to ta ke dowry. What you say sowmya? Posted By: Vision Have a look at this: http://www.indianchild.com/dowry_in_india.htm - http://www.indianchild.com/dowry _in_india.htm Posted By: rathour Hi frnds I agreed with "pooja's" view.definetly DOWERY is a curse Of sociaty.people think if they r taking more dowry they get prestige in society .so there should be awareness. 1stly,it should be banned. Women are getting harass and they are gett ing killed bcoz of dowry and many of them are taking steps like they are attempt ing suicides. We should come forward to eradicate it from our society. But its not a

n easy task. To eradicate among youth especially in There should be r declared as a crime. If

the dowry from our sociaty, there should be awareness Indian woman. awareness from childhood. To give and take dowry both any one is caught he/she should be punished

How to deal with international terrorism Posted By: meenakshisekar Hi all This is a very very interesting topic. Now the whole world fears of this thing only. To deal with international terrorism we (all countries) must join our h ands together and plan it out. Unless or otherwise this happens not a single cou ntry cannot abolish or deal with international terrorism. No country shud permit terrorist activities in their country and they s hud stick to that. Each country shud be loyal to each other and to the world after that onl y we can fight somehow. Posted By: BINNY I think international terrorism is a curse to this mankind. I agree w ith meenakshisekar that all the countries should join hands to fight against thi s terrorism. All the law enforcing agencies should join hands and eliminate terr orism from a particular region on a monthly or bi-weekly basis. All the countrie s should combine their technology, weapons and manpower to fight against these t errorists. Not only the govt but also, we have some responsibilities in fighting against the terrorism. We should not elect any corrupt politician. These people are indirectly encouraging and funding the terrorism by Hawala and other means. Posted By: pooja Yes I totally agree with binny and meenakshi we can deal with it only when all the countries join their hands together not fighting against them but unitedely we should fight against terrorism which is really a curse to mankind. Posted By: sidhu How to deal with international terrorism? Hi, I agree with u all but I like to add some more to it, fighting against t errorism is indirectly achieve by removing poverty, racial & religion & region ( rrrp) sentiments, these r the main reasons, why terrorism developing, if we able to spread a message, by saying only one & one only (rrrp) exists, that is mankin d, then we r able to succeed in removing most the people from that type of organ izations, with that those organizations become weak, then their existence will b e in doubt, so friends first we have to make our mindset to invite those guys wh o r like to leave those type of organizations, then there will be every chance t o eliminate any kind of organizations who r working against mankind. Posted By: mohanraai Well Guys, Ya I agree with sidhu's suggestion. We should first find out wh ich is lead to terrorism. We think all to combine all the nations, its is also a terrorism like now US fighted against Iraq like that. One of the nations won't like to join na then fight with that nation. This will leads to terrorism. So an alyze y the terrorism happening and all and find the solution. If some of the or ganization may come to surrender. This will give the solution. Other wise can't stop terrorism If there were no armies in the world

Posted By: arunabha2003 As someone said "Peace could be achieved with a barrel of a gun". If you think of this issue deeply, you will come across some questions I your mind. What is the price of your freedom? What is the price of your saf ety and dignity of you and your loved ones? You just cant it into figures, can y ou? Whatever freedom we enjoy in this world is because we are "FREE", becaus e of our armed forces that protect our borders with their lives at stake. We all owe them. But power, military or political, can be dangerous if in wrong hands. S o, it too has to be balanced, by governing bodies. Many think that without armies, the world would be a better place. We ll, in my opinion, there will be nothing as such... Posted By: OOPS Yeh I agree with you arunabha Posted By: faraz I disagree with both of you. If there were no armies in the worl d then there would be peace. Well if you see at a global level; no armies, no bo undaries, no countries, only one world. The world will be bursting out of its se ams of nationalization and liberalization will take center stage. People will in teract more and there will be free trade policies. When your wish of no armies i s fulfilled then more constructive policies will emerge for betterment of mankin d as a whole. Posted By: chayanika Dear faraz, according to you at a global level, we can think of a situation where thr is no army, no boundary, and no country. But faraz reality tells us to count from the opposite side. I.e. its because of countries and thei r boundaries, we need armies. And we can't ignore the importance of having well defined boundaries, as it is said, Good fencing makes good relation". Now, u was talking about having one world, but I think it is always better to have small pi eces of everything as then they can be looked after well. Just as we always bre ak a large complicated program code into smaller modules. Now comes the question of defense budget and war. Obviously to maint ain an army we are to spend a portion of our wealth and I think its worth it. Its nothing but a part and parcel of any country. And regarding wars, I think its th e authorities that are interested in wars or in waging weapons. And its not beca use armies are there, there is war. The truth is "as war is there the authoritie s employ the armies". Posted By: pooja Hello frnds, Yes even I agree with arunabha, it is not necessary that if their is no army there will be peace whatever we are today it is cos of army, to prote ct us they sacrificed their lives. Army is the heart of the nation and life of the nation...I am very proud of them. Army is fighting with terrorism they are the main reason who are contr olling terrorism till some extent
