Pendulum effect and our politics

we are what we are..

You all might have heard about Pendulum theory in physics.If my memory serves me right, it was Galileo who understood and codified this Pendulum theory based on gravity and motion and all the clocks in the world had pendulums which go back and forth keeping up the time interval between their swings.

Based on this pendulum movement there is a theory called Pendulum effect. This is applicable for culture, politics, economics and even in our behaviours.When the Pendulum is pulled to one extreme, this Pendulum effect clearly says that pendulum will swing back to the other extreme with force, motion and vengence ! Signs of this effect is most visible in administration. When there is laxity in enforcement of rules of banking norms and when NPAs swelled , RBI and the state banks swung into action. The rules have been overtightened and even good and genuine borrowers are made to feel the heat and sweat so much so that all borrowers are first considered defaulters or atleast potential defaulters. Borrowers with even good standing will have to prove their genuineness ,demonstrate their innocence and prove that they are not guilty ! PSu banks have swung from the other extreme to this extreme.

Same is the case in Politics. When X politician was arrested and jailed there was widespread resentment against the govt. of the day and Politician Y who masterminded it. After elections the politician X gains prominence and seeks revenge on politician Y by putting him behind bars settling his scores.The pendulum has swung to the other extreme.

But when the pendulum will come to rest.This is a million dollar question and pendulum can come to rest only when we follow the foot steps of statesmen saints like Gandhiji who advised that an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Somebody should have the will to stop the Pendulum.

India's Semiconductor play-now only semi-final!

India's Semiconductor Manufacturing in 2026–2030: PLI Impact, Global Standing, and AI-Era Policy Needs How India's PLI scheme is building semiconductor capacity, what it means for global supply chains, and what government must do next as AI demand reshapes the industry. 14 min read Modern semiconductor fab with Indian innovation flags and growth trajectory Semiconductors-Policy in India India's PLI scheme commits $10 billion to build semiconductor manufacturing capacity over 5 years, with TATA and Micron fab projects expected to deliver 1–2 million wafers monthly by 2027. By 2030, India could claim 2–3% of global semiconductor production - a major jump from today's <1%, though still far behind Taiwan and South Korea. Geopolitically, this matters: as supply chains de-risk away from Taiwan and China, India becomes a critical third hub for mature-node and memory-chip manufacturing. However, success hinges on three critical gaps the government must address. First...

Why Indian Rupee is falling steeply against US dollar?

  The Indian Rupee recently crossed the 97 mark against the US Dollar, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. If you've been tracking exchange rates or planning a trip abroad, you've probably felt the pinch. Everything from imported electronics to cooking oil is getting more expensive. And your money just doesn't stretch as far as it used to. This isn't a one-day blip. The rupee has been on a steady downward slide for months, and the reasons go deeper than most headlines suggest. It's a mix of what's happening inside India's economy and what's happening across the globe. Trade deficits, foreign investors pulling out money, rising oil prices, the US Federal Reserve keeping interest rates high — all of these are pulling the rupee in the wrong direction at the same time. In this post, we'll break down the key domestic pressures weighing on the rupee and the global forces making the US Dollar stronger. We'll also look at what the Reserve Bank ...
