Stronger Rupee = Stronger India

agree
even after independence we are still dependent of other countries for our income. this definetly needs to be changed.

Excellent, you posted a topic about it! I had tried to say something of the sort in another thread, but this article summed it up pretty well ^^

This article came as a forward to me yesterday

Dreaming when we will have 1 Rs = 40 $

Let me ask a question first.
What type of economic strength is preferable to India?

B) A strong Indian economy fueled by its strong innovations and products, no matter whether the rupee is strong or weak against dollar.. where Indians work only in regular office hours of 9 to 6, developing cutting edge technologies and solutions, selling our world class products both inside and outside India. For instance in IT field, imagine operating systems, compilers, databases etc all coming out of India..

Why just technological things? India is way ahead of USA & China in agricultural production. Why not pay attention to farming? In the end, what do u care for more? an iPod or a gr8 UI based OS or a tasty cuisine?

You wanna develop india, then think from all the prespectives, just being a strong innovater in IT & service sector will do nothing.

These Indian IT companie.................. teams to develop such products?

*snorts* Sorry, that cracked me up. Agree with what you said!

Even when 1 rupee = $1,i just cant imagine the things i could buy.... like a 8800GTX for Rs.600 ,Q6600 for Rs.266....hell for about Rs.5000 i can build a system that is more powerful than Alienware........

May be a Lambhorgini for about 2 lakhs rupees........

Lets get on to this people......we need to reach this very soon before i get old....

hey very true we jus can't ignore our contribution in agri...but the main thing that returns the major revenues is not agriculture but the IT and the other techies....it not about liking the iPod ot tasty cuisine but giving our nation a space in the world..

A country is as strong as the economy is.

Economy cannot be made strong without agricultural progress.

Don't think by agrcultural production u can't make lots of money. Do u know the margin of Wheet farmers?

Just got this today in a email from friend. I completely agree with this!!!

I have been Crying Horse since the day (Reserve Bank of India )RBI is protecting Dollar.
Every time the Rupee gets strong RBI pours in and buys the Dollar Via Public Banks.They do it to protect the Exporters from falling Dollar.
Oh hell with them and the RBI Rules.
A Stronger Rupees increases so much a buying power for this country.
Man this Govt ..i hate its role here ..!
Look at China . Even though USA warned China Last week on the Increasing Yuan still they didint pay much heed to it.
When will India protect its Self Interest.

Hey ppl,

would like to contradict here...

Do u realise how much loss is India incurring as the value of rupee has gone up...

losses in IT and Bpo sectors
loss in Exports..

The economic growth depends maximum on the Export market and ofcourse the IT industry...

This is the main idea of the article which I dont think you got my man!
The author is asking till when is India going to depend on the exports and BPO to get a decent income? Its high time that India starts innovating new technologies so that we can have our own software firms doing the business and we would not have to depend on the "branches" of other tech companies.

Do you know that a huge chunk (More than 50%) of the total income that M$ India makes goes to the US and is added to the national income of the US? Its our money, its their income. You like that? I dont.

And as freshseasons said, China is one hell of an economy. It just dont give a sh1t about USA. It has flooded the markets across the world with cheap and quality goods (Sorry about using cheap and quality in the same sentence ). Nowdays if someone carries a gift from US for his younger ones, its marked as "Made in China" . Hell yeah, we need that kinda economy.

But I think Indians (include those laws and our moron ministers )are working more for the profit of US than the profit of Indians

RBI does it to protect the Indian Companies and their business. These are not the BIG ones but medium and lower-medium scale industries which are 1000's in numbers and contribute to the economy equal to that of the Biggies... If RBI doesn't protect dollars, then people will start buying imported goods only as they will get it cheaper then in India just some people here said that Maruti and mercedes will cost same and someone said about buying 8800GTX for Rs.600 ,Q6600 for Rs.266 and blah blah..

Moreover exports will also have to face loss, as Dollar price will be less... Unlike China which you said their goods are way too cheaper and hence they still wont cost as much as other imported goods.. So they won't have to bear such huge losses as India would have to..

Why do you think RBI maintains price of dollar high which otherwise is just Rs.35-36. It is neither that fool to do so nor lacks in management..!!

Good one,

dude that's business.. I don't see anything wrong in that.. eka profit dusre ka loss and i guess no one will bear one's loss

The incomes of wheat farmers would not tell anything about agriculture's contribution to GDP, which for the resource applied is very low. We should concentrate on getting a smaller population involve in sustained agriculture while get the disguised un-employed in useful jobs rather than have 70% on agriculture which contributes a minuscule of GDP.

falling rupee is hitting freelancers and webmasters very badly ..as they get funds in USD and when conversion takes place they loose money ..and even more worse when paypal's conversion rate which is always below the current market rate...

Stonger rupee stronger INDIA i agree with that...
but for those who are working on web 2.0 from India ,they are loosing money in turn India is loosing something...even big companies like Infy are also suffering.

I'm starting to wonder. Doesn't everyone want India to be a rich, developed country? Doesn't everyone keep aping the west because they think its cool? We're slowly getting there, we're slowly (actually, pretty quickly ) strengthening the economy and turning into a developed nation, and now people are complaining. Yes, there will be losses, but its for the overall good.

thats so true!

Look at indias population.....

If Rupee = dollar , or IF and only IF soemd ay RUPEE > DOLLAR......

All NRI population back in india along with foreign wokers.....

Now where the hell there is place and employment for them in india.....

That time also INDIANS will have to move out....

So better its now....

Before improving economy improve indias infrastructure to cope with the BOOM.....else INDIA is GONA be A CROWDED COUNTRY with no place to move and no place to work.....

^^ There is no place left in the country ( OK there wont be after a few years) for "better" infrastructure.

Of course theres space. There IS plenty of space. Most of the population is just concentrated in the few cities and metropolitan regions. Go towards the rural areas, develop those places, and voila, more "space", as you'd call it.

The only reason we're having a problem with managing the population is firstly because of the lack of a decent education, and the lack of development in the faraway reaches of the country. As soon as the people stop getting concentrated in a few cities, the better.

hey i guess v r deviating from the discussion.......
v r here in this thread to discuss about the pros and cons of rupee growing...

According to me they should build more complex to increase better space management & to decrease space & resources wastage. which is going to gr8ly benefit us.

The original article is at *hitxp.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/stronger-rupee-stronger-india/

well as rupee grows the prices for everything in india should come down

like say if 1 RS = 1 $

then a ferrai and a maruti 800 will cost the same !!
but this is not possible.....the thing is that the price for maruti should come down !!
else if again 1 RS = 1 $ we will be paying 10 $ for 1kg of onions !!


now if rupee is growing Prices for everything should come down in Rupess !! get it ??

as long as AED is going strong,small time labors are happy(meant Gulf)

Agri is the main occupation of rural people. Your development moves to villages, there wont be much fields left for cultivation. What do you think we are gonna eat.

@rahul.ims: 1-2 offtopics are no threat man. This is bandwidth wastage section.

Aah, you think that "development" means pollution and cars only? Nope! It means better irrigation facilities, electricity, communication, education, better housing...

Many of those things will just help increase the overall productivity. So, your really improving everything in the end. Your food production included~

>_<...*LAST off topic post. Really*

A country is not called as developed until most of its income comes from tertiary activities (Retail, medicines and God knows what). So if youre dependent on agri for a major chunk of your income then your country wont be called as developed. This is what I read in my NCERT textbooks but since these books call Bhagat Singh a terrorist, I doubt the author's concept. And these things add to cars and pollution anyhow.

wow! what how dare they say that. r they crazy.

^^ There was this controversy. It came in newspapers. Children of 6-7th class were being taught that BS/Sukhdev are terrorists.
Now its changed.

good thing.

The main point is Making our country at par with other developed countries.I would prefer it to be like European countries like Switzerland,Sweden,etc than US.US is a sh!t country.No future for this country run by peoples with sub average brains(Bush has an IQ of 91!!).

Look at any developed country(including US) they are almost self sustained for their basic needs.This is where we are making mistakes we think development in tertiary sectors is key to rapid development.It must go hand in hand with our primary sectors like agriculture.This is the base guys.

As far as Rising Rupee is concerned it is happening at very high rates it should be a slow BUT steady process.And RBI is not a stupid Indian govt. institution it hires the best of the brains.And don't ever think you will still be earning what you are earning right now if rupee ever comes at par with dollar.

Just look at European countries they are happy,self sustained,they make less kids,And they give free broadband services(lol) seriously they define a perfectly happy small country.

As far as comparison to China is concerned there is nothing to compare.India has SKILLED English understanding workforce unlike china where they have huge uneducated workforce and very less skilled peoples and they too are not familiar with english.So their growth surge is temporarily and they definitely can't sustain it for more than a decade or two at most(my guess).

The IT companies will have to change to survive in INDIA that much is clear.And they better start nowlike there is no tomorrow.More R&D work than just insourcing dumb jobs.

The bottomline is:
1.)Stop worrying about US and China.
2.)Let our dumb government concentrate on primary sectors and small to medium scale industries.They are the base.
3.)let rupee gain strength but slowly so that export and IT companies gets the time to change and adapt accordingly or die out.
4.)Invest more on Education and R&D in our high class educational infrastructure.


DON'T RUSH DEVELOPMENT.LET IT BE SLOW AND STEADY.REMEMBER ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY.

^ China knows that they lack in english so they are setting up more and more schools and colleges where english is the main teaching language. Here the governement is going gaga over quotas. They are adding "the whole indian power supply" to their power supply every year (Although this has resulted in great amount of pollution which has rendered many of their agri lands and rivers as useless).

And AFA the agri of the country is concerned, we should not always depend on it. It gives food, that right but if we dont focus on Secondary industries, then we wont be having GOOD cars, rigs, and life. Primary focus only on agri will keep the prices of food grains low but will also effect the consumer industries.

There has to be a balance. Like US depends on other countries on food products but they supply electronics/arms to other nation. In EU, there are several nations which have surplus of milk(like holland) and some are good in agri (I dont know which ones), some are good with sea-food(Like UK) and some are good in electronics items. So EU is more balanced. But there seems to be a problem in France as quoted in this months Readers Digest.

I need India to be like EU. It aint possible though

China is a communist country and NO COMMUNIST COUNTRY CAN LAST FOR MORE THAN A FEW DECADES.Power to the people not to the government.

I agree fully that Indian government is the dumbest and the main deterrent to our nation's success.I hate it so much.If our govt. wants "equal oppurtunities to all" the stop the fu****g caste based reservation system.
Our govt. too is just using the same old english tactic"DIVIDE AND RULE".

But the stress should always be in primary industries.This is a must.You want cheap mercs and porches but it wont help in our development much as most Indians can't afford even a meal a day.Development for all not just for the rich and elite ones.

Hi

But is good for it hardware

now lattops are in 20 to 25000

and computer prices are going down

if $1 = Rs 1 then we can can have computer in rs 400 or 800

we all can purchase windows

no piracy

we can all fly thru airlines

only loosers want rupee go up.

se what infosys say : We dont worry.

thanks

^^ They dont have to worry. Its the employees which have to worry. Dollar dips, Infy increases the working hours of its employees.
If you are working in some industry which doesnot depend on dollars then at least one can think of a regular 9to5 job.

Look man you are talking like an utter moron and this pisses me off.

If ever 1 Rupee=1 dollar then you wont be earning the same what you are earning now.The prices of commodities will rise accordingly and sure enough you wont get a mercedes for the price of a 800.If this was the case then every american should be having a lamborghini but they don't.Is it tough for you to understand?

I agree that rupee should be stronger than what it is now but it should be a slow process.IF infosys(I mean the whole IT+Export industry) donot make money than they face losses and slowly will die out if it happens to be too quick.Then where do you think we are going to get foreign money into our country???Tourism or NRIs?

So Don't be an Idiot and use your brains.

Lemme tell you something very straight No matter what you think about our country It cannot compete with US and other developed countries as of now.We will have to wait for a couple of decades to take over the world.But it is inevitable and be sure to be at the right place at the right time.

Stronger Rupee ? Stronger India ?

Well, lets talk about Software Exports also shall we........ Rupee appreciation and depreciation is a huge deal. To conclude that India needs a specific type of economy is tuff, the scenario at the moment is good, hopefully it will continue this way.

i agree.
a s/w personnel,or an exporter on the never want this.but we should stand out from our personal needs and think for the country as a whole.

and rupee appreciating to 40RS/$.... well we might get to see this in the nest 2-4 years or so(after chandrayaan and delhi games'10)

maybe after a decade we could get a stronger rupee, because i think last decade rupee was around 50-1$

I will tell you all something...When I came to Australia I was shocked to see that many things here had a "Made in china" label attached to them... The labour cost is so much in Australia that the local industries cant compete with Chinese industries...It is a necessity for the Australians to import many things from China...people think twice if the anything has to be repaired...sometimes it is cheaper to buy a new one instead of paying for repairing it.... I feel thats how even India is trying to compete using its low labour cost in IT industry but even India cant compete with Chinese labour in hardware or any other industry....

its the other way around Weak Rupees - Less Inflation - Strong India

Rupee all time strong in a decade. 1$ = 39 Rupees
