Disarmament

English Essay on "Disarmament"

One of the most familiar terms of the day and, perhaps, the most talked of thing in international politics is ‘disarmament’ Hardly a week passes without some world celebrity saying something about it generally in favour, with the world press giving that a banner headline, even though the whole comment made or plan offered may not exceed a few sentences.

Nationalism versus Internationalism

English Essay on "Nationalism versus Internationalism"

Internationalism is one of the most familiar but controversial ideologies of our time, with the world opinion sharply divided on its feasibility. It is, no doubt, an infant doctrine, having been born as a definite idea only in the second quarter of the 20th century. But is gaining momentum so steadily that it has already come to be recognized as a forceful ideology capable of curing the conflict-ridden world of its besetting ills. Internationalism may, therefore, be called the ideology of the day and is sure to constitute the corner-stone of future of political thinking. Internationalism, like its adversary, Nationalism, is not easy to define in precise terms. It may, however, be described broadly as an idea of organizing the world population into a single political entity so as to pool up and utilize the total resources of the globe for the benefit of humanity, to which every race and every individual, unlike the present, shall have equal access.

Democracy and Discipline

English Essay on "Democracy and Discipline"

Man is a social being. He lives in a society, which means getting on with others. Thus, discipline is a must for getting on with others and the common welfare. There cannot be a well organizsed and civilised society sans discipline. Today, we are a highly civilised, cultured and developed people only because of willing obedience to certain rules, regulations, code of conduct and social behaviour, which have been there from the dawn of civilisation. If there had been no disciplines and self-imposed code of social and individual behaviour, there would not have been any civilisation, culture or progress. If these rules and regulations are not followed, there will be total chaos, bloodshed, violence, jungle rule and widespread misery. It is discipline which makes our life enjoyable, orderly, safe and worth living. Discipline forms the very warp and woof of our social fabric. Even in individual life, existence, presupposes obedience of certain laws of nature.

Foreign Economic Aid and Its Consequences

English Essay on "Foreign Economic Aid and Its Consequences"

A developing country would find it difficult to support its capital programmes exclusively from domestic resources for they usually involve import of some capital goods. If such a programme of imports is financed entirely out of taxation, it is likely to be deflationary and to strain the balance of payments; the taxes which are levied to finance the imports would take some purchasing power out of domestic circulation.

This unpleasant consequence can be avoided if home consumption falls and the goods so saved are exported, earning foreign exchange to pay for imports. If this does not happen, the adjustment will take longer to come into effect. The resulting deflation will lead to fall in prices of domestic goods, encouraging exports and rise the prices of imports and discouraging them. There will be a new equilibrium after the necessary adjustments have taken place. But the impact of stepping up the rate of capital formation is almost certainly to cause shortage of foreign exchange which has to be made up running down the foreign exchanges reserves.
