Dear members we would like to compile and consumer (retail) price chart of various goods used by consumers and capital,assets to expose the UPA government and the fraudulent experts like Manmohan Singh and his team about their claim of benefits of liberalisation and globalisation which could not be done properly in any area.The first thing to foolishly assume is that private sector individuals will work with reasonability in their mind and without excess greed and for Charity.No one does.Secondly these stupid pseudo experts talk of econ0mics theories in books which never work on ground.They are theoretical ideal conditions.For example in no industry there is perfect or pure competition and prices are never set by normal process of price demand forces and secondly because distribution mechanism and information flow to customers and consumer rights are very poor in countries like India and not satisfactory levels even n USA.Lobbies,cartels,associations and mafias are present every where.Most of natural resources like land and water are scarce and will become more scarce and hence economics dont apply there.
But our fools in planning and governance are doing acts wrong year after year and have damaged indian economy and created historic price rise which cannot be reversed now.The damage is severe and these people and parties need to be severely punished at least for sake of history and our progeny. We are interested in consumer counter price of goods at metro/class a and B cities: __________________________________________________________________ Year 2002 Current _________________________________________________________________ Milk(kg) Bread(standard loaf Britannia or Modern) Tomato(kg) Apple banana (kg/dozen) sugar (kg) Common salt (Tata i kg bag) Toilet soap lux(75 gms/90gms) Postal charge for letter(,15 gm) Petrol (1 ltr) cooking gas( domestic cylinder) standard plain 67/33 shit cloth(meter) maruti car 800 standard IIM fee for PGDM course per year IIT fee for B Tech per year standard room charge of janpath hotel delhi Auto/taxi rate per km Diegene-strip of 10 crocin tablet strip of 10 Dettol bottle (150 ml) Urad dal kg arhar dal kg basmati rice ordinary quality Kg 165 ltr refrigerator 48" ceiling fan ordinary design Plot of land in DLF gurgaon sq yard (or other place 10 km from city centre in any big city) New taxes started at Central ans tate levels with % I think above sample of commodities and services is adequate indicator of price rise It is not difficult to gather the data. Old diaries may be available and publications must be available in libraries. We are only comparing 7 years period. We would request members to do a bit research and efforts to compile above.They may suggest and add other items too. We would like to seriously take up this issue and relate it to liberalisation,globalisation and delicensing issues and issues of role of government agencies and their failure.Reckless taxation had also multiplying effect on the prices. It is theoretically said that with deregulation and globalisation quality and quantity of supplies should increase.this should have not only improved customer satisfaction with goods and services but prices should have gone down.Just reverse has happened.
