Any further left and we will be chasing our tails.

Is India heading towards collapse as we continue policies of distributing wealth which is not created but borrowed, either directly from local banks or from foreign investors? Biologists have tried to explain animal reproduction through r/k theory in which r type animals breed in huge numbers regardless of the cost to their environment, such as rodents, and k type animals who have few children and look after them for long periods, such as whales. The life history theory builds on this to explain life cycle of organisms through their reproductive value. Some conservative economists have used the r/k theory to explain human behavior. As primitive humans increased in number there was greater competition for food so the r type humans migrated out of Africa to regions where food was plentiful. They multiplied in large numbers, made poor parents, and, as competition for resources intensified, migrated even further. They left behind small numbers of k type people who had small families, made good parents and fought to establish a rich society. Economists in the US, a $16 trillion economy, want an increase in productivity to stimulate wage growth which is stuck at 1979 level, whereas here in India, a $1.9 trillion economy, the talk is of distribution to the poor without any acknowledgement that it was precisely these policies of the Congress that contributed to double digit inflation and a fall in growth rate which hurt the poor badly. The IMF has warned that without increasing productivity any growth in the economy will merely result in inflation. Mr Rahul Gandhi, Vice President of the Congress, has returned from a long vacation and has launched into the Prime Minister, calling him " suit boot ki sarkar " in obvious mockery of Modi's suits. This is a man who is an expert on the sufferings of Indian farmers, having lived all his life in a huge bungalow in central Delhi, surrounded by servants and with Z+ security. Large numbers of Indians are certainly bad parents as is shown by the number of children working in hazardous industries, children being married off in violation of the law and female babies being sold off for Rs 30,000. While cigarettes are heavily taxes and have large warnings on their packets there are no such restrictions on beedis which are smoked by the poor. States encourage beedi industry to create employment. Encourage the poor to produce beedis cheaply so that they can smoke themselves to death. When someone can actually write that " human needs can and should be limited " you see that they want Indians to remain as r type people, of little value. Imbeciles or Naxals: is that all the choice we have?
