Are we really Independent…

Our 1st Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlala Nehru quoted :
"Hum LayeHainTufan Se Kashti Nikal Ke,Is desh ko rakhna mere baccho sambhal ke"
By this punch-line the Govt. might want to convey to the future generation that please be careful regarding the foreign trade policies. They wanted us to be sure of the fact that our country shouldn’t get dependent on other nations, and our Govt.’s prior to 1991 strictly followed a closed economy paradigm.

The Turing point: In 1991 under the Govt. of P.M Narsimha Roa LPG policies were announced and it gave a green signal to the less Developed Indian Industry to fight against the competition, This step was found to be simultaneous bane & boon for the progress of our nation:
Indian foreign exchange started rising quickly & the growth shoot in the right direction, the govt. seemed happy with the investment proposals, inviting many opportunities and started blowing their own trumpet regarding the Indian image infront of the world, but on the same front the govt. and the states started loosing control over the investment companies and began compromising on moral grounds for the sake of the growth.
The Compromises were not the problem but what my question is, WERE THESE COMPROMISES JUSTIFIED? Or are we again getting dependent on the foreign sector, a question to ponder upon!!!
Tough competition was not a cloud in the horizon rather it’s a competitive world and those who can`t sustain themselves will die their own death and soon would be kicked out fromthe rat race. CAMPA COLA Company was one such player who had to move out of the market because they weren’t able to fight against the well established Company COKE COLA.
No objections against this but were the steps or we can say the methods adopted by COKE morally or legally correct?
Coca- cola operates 52 water-intensive bottling plants. In the southern Indian village of Plachimada in Kerala state. The company Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB)

    Isolationism In 1930s

    • 2383 Words
    • 10 Pages

    Indeed, in the early 1930s, when the Great Depression reached its peak, many had came to believe that their nation should withdraw from foreign affairs in order to focus more on its internal problems such as the economic crisis.16 This implied no more foreign military interventions, immigration, or even international economic alliances. As a matter of fact, Americans were considering that their economy needed to be closed from foreign markets in order to develop. To that extent, protectionist measures, such as the Smooth-Hawley Tariff that closed the U.S market to Japan17, abounded from 1929 trough 1934, protecting American endangered industries against foreign competition.18 As Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt said so, “our international trade relations, though vastly important, are in point of time and necessity secondary to the establishment of a sound national economy”19. In that sense, we may think that little American business owners, generally belonging to the middle class, supported isolationism, as it would allow them to keep their business alive. Furthermore, the government’s decision to withdraw from the previous monetary system of Gold Standard in order to devaluate the dollar, which would better support domestic recovery, caused the failure of the London Economic conference of 1933, which aim was to…

    Firstly, Gupta must understand that Coca Cola has faced several crisis in the past. On February 2003, CSE (Center for Science and Environment), an activist group in India has already brought the issue about Coca-Cola’s Kinley Bottled water which was declared containing pesticides residues, six months before they brought up the same issue about Coca Cola. Since Coca Cola India remained silent about the first issue, the buzz was created and spread, made it even harder to maintain the situation. While in 1997, Coca Cola also had a problem in India. They had to leave India, instead of revealed their formula to government, when Janata Party led India and oblige Coca Cola, and other foreign companies, to dilute their equity stake until 40%, as written under Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA). Any other crisis were happened too on other countries such as in Belgium and Atlanta.…

    As the last two sections have shown, contrary to popular takes on both the Obama Presidency and US trade politics, Obama’s inducing of protectionist measures into his trade policy does not constitute an overall breaking of the mould in US trade politics, rather it is merely a sustenance of the US executive succumbing to longstanding protectionist pressures domestically. In consideration of not only how protectionism is not a new development within US trade politics but also that Obama has been bound by the same domestic pressures as his predecessors, it may be considered surprising that Obama has been ascribed with a protectionist label that his predecessors often escaped. This consequently provides a new political puzzle that needs to be addressed…

    Most economists and even ordinary people could understand Canada and Mexico’s enthusiasm when free trade, destroying tariffs, was proposed. After all, the United States has long been the major consumer of exported goods in both countries. No longer having to pay taxes on goods imported into the United States meant larger sales and more profits for all Canadian and Mexican businesses. These profits were foreseen as perpetual economic boosts in their respective country. These boosts…

    After WWII, the growth of the economy and the development of poor foreign countries created an open market for many U.S. manufactures and farmers. They benefited from enormous profits. I agree and disagree with some of the government restrictions that have been placed on global trading. For example, I feel that certain import restrictions are necessary for our economy. The tariffs that are placed on the imported goods help secure many American jobs. This is because the prices of imported goods are higher then domestic goods, resulting in more sales of the domestic goods. The downfall to this tariff is that billions of dollars are wasted every year by American’s.…

    This free trade was primarily focused on international companies and countries beyond Europe. Renewing the President's authority to negotiate trade agreements on a "fast track” basis is an important step to achieve this goal. However one of the issues with this is that imports are crushing the amount of exports. In other words, we as a whole country have become too reliant on other countries, and in doing so, have become a dependent nation in terms of goods and trading. We can see this best with our need for foreign oil and its negative impacts that…

    • Additionally, Coca-Cola's bottling system is one of their greatest strengths. It allows them to conduct business on a global scale while at the same time maintaining a local approach. The bottling companies are locally owned and operated by independent business people who are authorised to sell products of the Coca-Cola Company. Because Coke does not have outright ownership of its bottling network, its main source of revenue is the sale of concentrate…

    Bella India

    At the beginning of the 1990s, the director of manufacturing Joseph Cherian accepted the position at Bella India with the idea of demonstrating that his home country was an excellent place for international companies to invest. During the 1980s and 1990s there was an increasing amount of net inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) into India, only in 1977 there was a negative net FDI which had been compensated in the next years. The fact that in the 1980s many companies have left the country was not so crucial for its economy, but the amount of the private capital was skimpy with just $ 0.2 billion p.a. from year 1985 to year 1990. The Indian economy was totally refreshed during the 1990s and experienced a steadily increase in the inflows with round $ 6 billion in 1996 – 1997 (Athereye and Kapur 1999). The following tables (OECD 1989 and Athreye and Kapur 1999) will show the development of the foreign investments in India:…
