With exports languishing so badly, there is little surprise that India is facing a severe job crisis. But thanks to Mr Modi’s flagship Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan, 7. During the election campaign of 2014 Mr Modi said that people of the country should give him 60 months. Wrong tariff policies — for both imports and exports — have China pvc woven placemat Manufacturers made trade in agricultural commodities uncertain and too dependent on the government’s beneficence.5 lakh crores and today — 2017-18 — it is `10. The world is looking at India with high hopes and enthusiasm. The minimum support prices for paddy, wheat, arhar, sugarcane, etc, increased 2. Under the Modi government, India’s exports have actually fallen from $314 billion in 2013-14 to $275 billion in 2016-17, a total decline of nearly 13 per cent. After May 26, 2014, international crude oil prices came down by more than 30 per cent.

8 crore below poverty line families were given free LPG connections. This reflected in a healthy 40 per cent increase in real income of farmers (after adjusting for inflation). Indians were deeply anguished to see the country go down the pit, thanks to the poor governance of the Congress-led UPA. The current account deficit (CAD) under the UPA saw an unprecedented 6.The NDA has tried to contain inflation and on most occasions has remained within the target of 3-4 per cent. The NDA government ensured that projects worth lakhs of crores were implemented “without a scam”. According to a paper by the government’s own Niti Aayog, this is the first time in recent history that India’s farmers have not seen their real incomes rise.Exports and other important economic indices are also dwindling. The government was spending more and earning less.73 lakh crores, and in a short time more than `9 lakh crores.Two crore jobs a year were promised, but where are they? Every single day, there are 30,000 youth who enter the job market looking for a job and just 450 of them get jobs.5 crore toilets have been made.

Also the Saubhagya scheme launched by the government ensured that every household is electrified. Contrast this with the growth in India’s exports from $64 billion in 2003-04 to $314 billion in 2013-14, a growth of nearly 400 per cent in total or 20 per cent every year under the UPA government. It has resulted in large-scale loss of employment in the informal sector. The Indian economy has emerged as a superpower. With the successful implementation of the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gram Yojana (DDUGJV) by power minister Piyush Goyal, no village in India is in darkness. Now 48 months are over but where and what are the deliverables? In spite of manipulations and despite favourable changes in GDP calculation, which would suit the present government, even according to the new favourable changes in GDP, India’s GDP is the lowest in four years in comparison to the UPA tenure. Under the present government, the Indian economy has decoupled itself from the world economy which is a major cause of worry.

A few friends had gathered to mourn the sudden death of a dear friend and dastango artist Ankit Chadha. It also tells the story of Madho Lal and Hussain.The seed for Faqeer Nimaana was sowed when Sanjukta heard Radhika Sood PU anti-fatigue mat Manufacturers Nayak’s compostion “Buriyaan” at Liniyakhedi, the village with the Kabir Ashram run by Prahladji Tapaniya near Devas, MP. If you think you are the prince of Takhthazaara we too are daughters of Sial no less.Sanjukta further informs: “The other piece was ‘Asaan’ which speaks of the many aspects of fakiri, but the image that stayed with me was ‘Ishqa faqeeran di toni’. Vocalist Radhika Sood Nayak’s booming voice reverberates the auditorium.

From the entrance of the auditorium enters Sanjukta dressed in a white costume designed by Sonal Kharade, with white head band woven in her plate, holding lamp and singing in Punjabi “Kee keeta ethe aike?” What does one do having come here? “Kee karse othe jaike?” What does one do after going there?She settles down on the stage with Hitesh Dhutia. A singular thread that dares to enter the eye of needle, the path of love — a thread that extends, bends, sways, flies, knots, breaks finds other threads and finally weaves into a chaadar to fray and tear and once again mingle with dust and appears from the pod as the charkha moves endlessly.”Buriyaan unfolds with only voice, guitar and physical theatre movements. I asked Sanjukta to enlighten me and send me the director’s note and a few songs in Punjabi, the background of how this production emerged.

Sanjukta concludes: “We call ourselves a quartet and not a solo dance piece.The piece explores Hussain, the weaver, the irreverent fakir, the malang who swirls unmindful of society, or propriety, mission or permission, who invites disgrace, the begger who begs that the world be granted all it desires. A performer, choreographer, teacher and curator trained under Rajashree Shirke in Kathak and under Pandit Murali Manohar Shukla in Hindustani music, she is the co-founder of and director of an interdisciplinary initiative called Beej in Mumbai. A combination of Kathak and tai chi meditative movement, a slow motion of whirling … the lights fade and there is silence.Radhika’s voice is captivating.From those they chose Buriyaan which Hitesh layered with a deliberately fragmented sound score for the voices of the daughters of Sial to be given centrestage.
