“Our eyes yearn.
We simply can’t understand who is yearning.
So many wounds inflicted on our hearts
And they’ve become scars in rich
Whatever questions I tried before you,
Even our blue eyes turned into red.”
Yes, on the one hand it is being claimed in the market that the rate of inflation has come down after the implementation of Income Tax Slab 2, on the other hand there is no sign of any reduction in the number of people suffering from the factors promoting inflation.
Even where the mistake is happening and when will the people burning in the fire of inflation get relief to inhale from this hassle and to come out from the trouble.
If we talk about any of the food items, and will introduce them, prices are skyrocketing at this time and apart from this, people also have to be cautious about fake items. The situation is such that the lax attitude of the administration and the activities happening secretly continue as usual and the situation is so bad that if we pay attention while buying any food item, then every time we realize that the price of any item does not match the price quoted by the shopkeeper from the other shopkeeper sitting adjacent or nearby to him.
You also know that If we all believe this then it seems to us that we are being looted openly in broad daylight and no consumer utters a word and generally the consumer seems to fail to inquire about the weight and price written on any item purchased.
The most important thing is to learn that the price position of any item as an index on any item forces consumers to think several times about at which a company’s manufactured goods can be sold in the market, or the rate can be negotiated with the company concerned. Perhaps this is the reason why we see buyers requesting shopkeepers to reduce the prices before buying any item. However, if we pay attention to the prices posted by the company on any item, it is often seen that shopkeepers succeed in selling the company’s goods at prices lower than those listed and sometimes above and over the price listed.
The market for loot is so hot that everyone is fed up. Regarding the bread makers, the administration has never changed its mind about the weight of a roti (bread) as per the prices charged, nor has it tried to change it. Currently, bread makers in Jammu and Kashmir have increased the price of a single roti(bread) several times more than its existing value and you know that at present in many places (bread) roti are being sold at the rate of minimum cost as Rs 6 to Rs 10. However, if the weight of the any roti(bread) is eye closely examined, then the consumer is being forced to bend in the stormy winds, and, after upon eating it, the consumer can be seen feeling a balloon’s air coming out of the stomach like a balloon flashes in the summer hot sun.
Several forces have converged to push inflation to levels not seen in decades across the country: households are feeling the pinch, investors are rethinking their strategies, and governments are becoming the salient spectators. It is thus easy to understand for all that the inflation occurs too rapidly, it can push prices for basic necessities out of reach. Inflation also erodes consumer purchasing power, devalues currency, and can interfere with the ability to save. when inflation surges out of control, it can lead to uncertainty, loss of confidence, and social unrest.
You all share an equal stake in the rising inflation and people’s problems, but I don’t know why you’re so determined to hide this issue. I vividly remember those days when shopkeepers had a rate list, and every item was available at the same price everywhere. But now, since the era of education and adulthood has arrived, I’m seeing everything being auctioned off before our eyes. I do efforts to realize within you also that “Inflation grips the whole of India”. |
