GDP growth and Socio Political revolution.

GDP growth and

Socio Political revolution.

Here is my take, but before you read further I put in a Disclaimer.

I am a trained Medical Professional.

I am still not sure if I am fully qualified to deal with issues pertaining to Medical Profession,

forget about giving opinions on Economics, Sociology & Geopolitics. Hence what I write / think are my own personal views, to be read by the readers at their own risk with a dollop of salt and....pepper.

GDP growth:

India enjoy a Demographic dividend (In lay terms Indias maximum population is 20/30 years of age, young & working).

For this demographic profile 5 to 7 % GDP growth is its natural / intrinsic growth. The young working people consume & you have the economy expanding.

If there is any growth above 7% the credit goes to external factors like Government policies & global geopolitics.

Socio-political revolution:

So any GDP growth below this threshold of 5 to 7% will lead to tremendous social unrest, riots and anarchy (We have already seen the trailer in London and in the Arab Spring. Even the Anna Hazare campaign and the support of the Middle class to this campaign can be attributed to it)

We are slowly & surely progressing towards the sub threshold growth level!!!!

"If you Desire change, change yourself first". I used to advise patients to opt for a active outdoor life. But nobody listened. As a Surgeon at 56, aspiring to be a role model for wellness and fitness I participated in the Polar Fjallraven 2018 contest. Few years back on reaching 50s, I had lot of problems. Syndrome X, Midlife crisis, Mid WAIST crisis, Mid leg crisis and what not. I had the option of taking the Stick – wooden, aluminium, medicine !! I opted for two sticks instead of one. The stick of Running and Hiking. Over the past five years I have played Squash, Lifted weights done a few Half Marathons,Skied and Trekked. Local treks ( Ghatkopar Tekddi, Mulund Tekddi, Sahayadri Ghats and Forts and then high altitude mountain treks in India and Nepa...

#celebrating60s Atmanirbhar 41 kms run. Self supported Run. Nutrition, hydration, illumination and music all carried on back.

I dedicate the Run to Dr Pranesh Patil Gaikwad, senior Anesthetist Ghatkopar, fellow runner, co trekker, and travel buddy, with a prayer.. recover soon dear friend. I continuously prayed for him during the run and could finish the run smoothly. The collective prayer of all will smoothen his recovery. We have travelled to many places together, but many are still on the bucket list. Recover soon Patil so I can begin planning.

Cipla Embraces Gilead and a New Era as Priorities Change Divya Rajagopal Mumbai:   Once a steadfast backer of generics, co now enters into a deal to make Hepatitis drug for MNC ruary last year Hamied had said  In an interview to ET in 2013, YK Hamied, the founder chairm an of Cipla, and some say the scourge of multinational drug companies, prophesied that the Indian drug industry will witness a sea change around the year 2020.“The momentum of 1972 to 1995 (pre-patent era) can't stop . It will last till 2015, but not after that. So to protect myself for 2020 I have to make radical changes.“ On Monday , the world got a glimpse of the kind of change that Hamied had in mind when Cipla teamed up with California-based Gilead Lifesciences to make and sell its path-breaking Hepatitis C drug Sofosbuvir under voluntary licence. On the face of it, there is nothing wrong with this kind of a deal.Pharma companies ink many such pacts on a regular basis. But what...
