Sikkim Earthquake 2011

Sikkim Earthquake 2011 is one of the most devastating for the North Eastern State of India. The Sikkim Earthquake on 6.8 on Richter Scale occurred almost 20 kilometers deep inside the earth crust and jolted Northern India spanning from Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal, Nagaland, Manipur and also jolted neighboring countries like Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Tibet (China).

Since the epicenter of the Sikkim Earthquake was on India Nepal border, therefore death toll has been more in Sikkim. Sikkim Earthquake has snapped almost all lines of communication and transportation system in Sikkim. The monsoon has also played havoc in the hilly state where entire connectivity across districts and state capital is only through roads.

Earthquake in Sikkim is one of the most damaging in India earthquake history. Sikkim is a mountainous state, and is on the cradle of Himalaya mountain range and hence, the damage of life and property is more. Government of India is extending every possible support to the Government of Sikkim, so that loss to life can be minimized to least.

Rescue operation in the Sikkim earthquake has become problematic because of snapping of road network and because of rainy season, air service has also been severely restricted. The actual extent of the damage in Sikkim earthquake would be known once, rescue teams would be able to reach remote corner of the state.

Unemployment in United States

With the onset of downturn in the United States economy, unemployment in United States is increasing at alarming rate. President Barack Obama is making whirl wind round of all growing economy to increase the job prospect for American’s in worldwide. After 2008 downturn and recession across world, United States has been greatly affected by it and unemployment in United States has increased more than 9% in recent times.

According to Bureau of Labor Statistics in United States, price rise is badly affecting unemployed people in United States. The growth rate of jobs in United States has been negative in calendar year 2011 in comparison to calendar year 2010. Business Employment Dynamics, which measure proportion of job increase in a quarter in United States has estimated that gross job gain fell from 7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 to 5.7 million in the first quarter of 2009, which is a shocking 24.6 percent decline.

As per statistics, unemployment in United States is alarming, and as President Barack Obama has already shown his interest for 2012 Presidential Election in United States, therefore, he is targeting to control menace of unemployment in United States. In fact, to check the upward going rate of unemployment in United States, President Obama is proposing a budget cutting program, and plans to invest the amount in various sectors to increase the job prospect for common Americans.

This amount is expected to be in the tune of $ 418 Billion and would create numerous jobs in Defense, Pharmaceuticals, Banking, Infrastructure, Healthcare, Education and many more. The opponent of President Obama, have in fact come up with a different argument for investing the money in preferred sectors, which would increase the low end multiple jobs for more number of people in United State, which would ultimately check the unemployment in United States and stopping outsourcing of such jobs to China, India, Philippines and African countries.

However, only the time will tell, how these measures will going to control the unemployment in United States, but definitely, if this problem in unemployment front is not controlled at the earliest, it would impact President Obama’s candidacy for President Ship in 2012. Let us hope for the best that unemployment in United States can be brought down a level, which would improve the overall scenarios of world economic order.

Wikileaks on Indian Politicians

Wikileaks on Indian Politicians is creating ripple effect on Indian Political Arena. Wikileaks has opened up the Pandora box and Governments / People across the world get frighten with cable leaks every day. The Wikileaks on Indian Politicians are creating panic for politicians in India. The recent cable leak is about the statement by Shri P. Chidambaram, Home Minister of India. This Wikileaks on Indian Politicians of Shri Chidambaram stature has created flutter in Indian Parliament.

Wikileaks on Indian Politicians namely Shri P. Chidambaram has leaked the statement of Shri. Chidambaram which blamed North India is a big reason behind India’s backwardness. Has South and West India would have been a nation; it would have been a developed country by now. But Wikileaks on Indian Politicians or others remain to be verified for its veracity and sources of information. Cable leaks created headlines initially in United States of America and across world because it leaked “so called” secret documents of United States. Why I am calling these secret documents as “so called” because these cable leaks were known to people across world.

Then a case was filed against Julian Assange in United Kingdom to show the world that United States is after Julian Assange because he has leaked secret classified documents of United States government. This is being done to show the world that these cable leaks on Wikileaks are genuine and that is why United States is after it. So, this entire episode may be done to create a kind of face value for Julian Assange and Wikileaks by United States.

Now that they have created that face value of Julian Assange and Wikileak, perhaps United States can play with the people around world and releases documents to create problem in areas which should least get bothered with these cable leaks. Who knows that Wikileaks on Indian Politicians is a chapter in story of Wikileaks?

Japan Earthquake 2011

The Earthquake on the Richter scale of 8.9 in Japan has jolted all of us alike. No doubt we cannot exactly understand pain, the people in Japan are going through but our sincere wishes are with them. The horrific pictures of Sendai and other places, which I have seen in CNN/Impact, CNN-IBN, India TV and Star News have moved so much, that I am writing this article.

The Earthquake in Japan in 2011 is the worst ever in the history of the world’s third largest economy. The Tsunami followed earthquake was also worst ever for the innocent and lovely people of Japan. The time of warning of Tsunami was so less that many people could not able to get time to go to safer areas and killed more than 5000 people and many more still missing.

Now, the meltdown of the Diiachi Nuclear Power Plant of TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company)at Fukushima is indicating towards the impending Nuclear Disaster worst ever after Chernobyl in 1986. Lot of panic has been created because of radiation leakage in 80 Km radius around Diiachi Nuclear Power Plant endangering life of some 35 million people.

The situation in Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant has been aggravated because of earthquake in Japan in 2011, which was followed by approximately 21 meters high Tsunami in the coastal North East Region of Japan in Honshu Island. World is looking with aghast and deeply empathize with the people of Japan and pray from God that people of Japan can overcome the misery happened because of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown in 2011, worst ever in the history of mankind.
