Hail Obama as the leader of the new world

The election of Barrack Obama today as the president of USA symbolises the rise of a new world order. He stands for the change of perception of the people. His emergence signifies that in a modern world skin is less important. What is more important is the capacity to empower humanity. His rise symbolises the synthesis of poor and rich, black and white & brown and yellow. The synthesis of unified colour of USA was evident for the first time when he addressed million people in Chicago to acknowledge his victory. He graciously acknowledged the contribution of McCain in the nation building. Obama requested for his expertise to build up new world . Hail Obama as the leader of the New world order!

Why are Indian happy? Apparently he has made some remarks which are not really favourable, at the first sight, to common Indian and yet Indian largely rejoiced his victory. The most urban educated Indian felt that some one of their own has been elected. Obama had no connection, even remotely, with anything Indian. His respect to the Gandhian philosophy, tasting of Indian food, his friendship with his Indian roommate in his student days in New York are nothing remarkable. We all go through these phases in our life. I like Italian food that did not mean that I am admire everything Italian. I do not very much like British food and yet do feel great about British pride on scientific achievements as well as human approach towards people of the world.

Many people think Obama would not be as friendly to Indian Interest as George Bush was. Its wrong. What he uttered during his campaign days that he would not tolerate outsourcing may rather prove beneficial to India. He might rather ask Indian firms to set up shops in USA so that outsourcing could be avoided and yet Indian firm can proliferate by appointing Americans who is capable of learning IT.

His utterance on Kashmir should not be wrongly interpreted. What he meant that if better relation between Indian and Pakistan could be ushered in, than both the countries would be able to devote more time in the war terrorism. He has never told that Kashmir should be handed over to Kashmir is or to Pakistan. Did he said that? One thing must be kept in mind that what he said in the campaign was short crisp statement. As soon as he sit in the hot seat, he would weigh both the side and will proceed what is the best for the world.

Obama is an embodiment of change. The change is for a better world. The change is meant for the suppressed and oppressed people. The change is for the minority community. The small business in America ( including 7 to 11 stores) are mostly owned by Indian American, petrol pumps of New York are controlled by Indian. Obama promises that minority business would be looked after. In that event, who would be benefited? Indian mostly, as they are the owners of small stores in America.

I have followed successive elections very carefully. I have seen whenever Democrats win in election, America become a much more vibrant nation. The economy booms. One of my friends’ son went to America in 1990. I told him that he has gone in the best time to come. At that time Republican were ruling. I told them that in another four years there would be elections and in case Democrates wins, there would be more employment opportunities and better financial stability. In 1995 Bill Clinton came. America's entire economy changed for the good. Unemployment were wiped out. More and more jobs created. The same would happen to America 2009 to 2013.The economy would turn around and Barrack Obama would prove himself to be the one of the best Presidents ever produced after Roosevelt.

This is my dream only. Obama was raised well with values. He would be true to his gene--his father, a Kenyan by birth but could impress a white lady when the city was not liberal. Both survive tension of the time and never fell apart. Obama is the product of those values. He would survive all catastrophe. Especially, when he has a lovely partner in his wife.

Its true. Obama is an American. He would surely think of the welfare of America always. He would do his best what is good for his country. It would be foolish to expect that he would side with Indian, China or Kenya at the cost of America. Forget about such silly things. He is born as American citizen, raised in America and he loves his country dearly. It is natural for him to promote and his country is of not any other culture.

I pray to God to give him strength to serve his country well and bring peace to the world. World is looking at him with great expectation. Take care Obama! God bless you!

Though i support Obama fully but after reading this article some of my misconceptions about Mr. President of America (those which were not in favour of India) got cleared and i am truly grateful for that.

Thirty years ago, I was told by Jagdish Phukan, all time great Assamese Entrepreneur cum visionary writer,’ had Amrit been staying back in Assam the state would have transformed into a most livable place in the country’. The remark of Phukan was a personal assessment on his great friend who has been forgotten by most Assamese by now ! The conversation veered round our state when I escorted ,in seventies of last century, the then American Ambassador to India in a visit to Kaziranga and stopped over for a couple of hours in Kamrup Komplex to dine. Amrit was none other than Harvard educated Amrit Baruah who left Assam, in search of mythical El Dorado, back in fifties to USA but...

Assam remained mute spectator to this sad incident, perhaps, in agony; no Assamese knew how to react! He succumbed to heart attack soon after the morning work up on 21st October, at his residence in Bombay. Ranjan was an energetic boy from Guwahati, Assam, with a...
The interim Budget presented in the Indian Parliament was a lack luster budget in recent times. It did nothing to assure anyone any way as to how financial crisis facing the country’s economy would be met. It was merely an excise where statement of account was placed and expenditures were accounted for. Even from where revenues deficit would be met were not explained in details. It also did not specify how new urban jobs would be created to push back unemployment (though allocated 1,31,000 crore for rural sector) situation of the country. The interim budget was a copy book exercise that needs to be followed in normal circumstances. But, is this a normal time? The country is faced with...
Recently a few well known IT companies have decide not to hire present employees of Satyam. There are few thousand of fresh graduates who have been given appointment letters by Satyam but not yet given the date of joining. They are still waiting to be called. Perhaps all of them would have to forget about their career in Satyam for the new board will hardly be able to absorb any more additional manpower without setting the house in order. So in all practical reasons these young graduates having appointment letter would miss the bus of getting the promised job in Satyam without any fault of them. If these fresh engineers are denied employment by other big IT companies now, would it not...
