Malls Malls everywhere not a single greenery around. India has certainly became a mall maniac country. Attractive stores, polished staff and AC with music, everything is there for a wonderful shopping experience. However, the real price that we are paying for this pleasure is yet to be understood. Megawatts of power, noise and much more, but the scintillation of Mall over overshadow those all. I'm not against malls, however, the way we have copied it from the west is not attractive at all.
Why do we need to copy everything, perhaps we could have developed our own mall culture in an Indian way. At worse, notwithstanding the western concept, we can always modulate it with the very Indian style. The way we copied constitutions from across the world, though we finally messed up. The madness of booking quick profits by copying or buying ideas or technologies from others and implementing the concept without learning the long term impact will cost the countrymen but not the politicians. We could rather have worked innovating our own idea.
We are creating a satellite colony of west where for every new idea we are waiting from our masters, waiting to buy the very new idea and pay the patent money lifelong and of course if something goes wrong we can always blame them. Whether it's some polluting automobile or an atom energy.The way Rahul Bajaj blamed best for not sharing the green technologies when he was asked to find a remedy for over growing polution because of his 3 wheeler auto rikshaws ,same way generations later we will blame west if some catastrophy happens due to recent installations of Nuke energy plants. The resident cabinate has filled up their swiss account from this deal and they will never sattle in the nearby cities of the plants.
Now when it comes to learning, we are not learning from their mistakes. We are doing the same mistake what they have done centuries ago, creating environmental disaster in madness of capitalism. We can't afford jettison our responsibilities to the future generation on the ground of blame game. Perhaps, most industrialist do not even bother about their responsibilities for the future generations, the only thing matters quick profit and market capitalization. But they must remind themselves that the money they are harvesting for their sons won't save them from natural calamity.
More demand, more supply, more spending that does not work in a community based society like Asia with huge population. In fact capitalism is instrumental in pumping more wealth at top of the social pyramid and making the bottom class more dependent on the mercy of top notch, hence making it more vulnerable economic catastrophe.
An illusion created by the government that this madness will take India to next level. Perhaps, government is not keen to explain what is the next level? The next level could be transforming the whole Indian community into a great labor and consumer market, making everybody in the society economically vulnerable. Take an example of Reality boom and how it will turn out to be a curse for the villagers. Tempted by the reality boom the villagers are prone to sell off their lands for some lump sum amount of money which would hardly last a few springs, its like he killed the hen which was giving gold eggs and was a perennial source of income though less. Initially it will be really good in terms of statistics for the villager, builder,growth rate and of course the politicians and bureaucrats who were broking the deal. It will further boost the industrial growth rate figures when the builder will sale flats/shops/mall on that land at 400 times higher price and will transform the whole area. Having a test of urbanization the villagers will start spending on commodity products and once again will increase the key growth rates. Now, the service class will take loans from the bank to fund the real estates, hence again contributing growth to Banking sector, in term the whole GDP will raise. Congratulations! The government policy have brought prosperity to the whole Indian community, but at what price? Lets visualize it.
Soon the money will be gone, thanks to good spending habits, and now the villager community which has been quite independent on its own as far as food and other daily needs were concerned, now completely dependent on the market, hence adding new consumers to global food market. Once again, demands will be up , however, the food supply will remain the same or less indeed; the price will inflate. Its a kind of chain reaction. When a city expands the key growth figures goes up at the same time, many families, communities loose their economical independence and the world looses vital farm lands. Perhaps, in a similar fashions the urbanization is eating up all our jungles as well. The government let illegal encroachments materialized, thanks to businessman Politicians and bureaucrats, hence destroying the ecological flora and fauna forever.
