  OIL BOND: ‘A DARK FINANCIAL LEGACY’ SARASIJ MAJUMDER In March 2026, India completed the final repayment of its long out‑standing OIL BOND obligations, a cumulative ₹3.23 lakh crore liability that had stretched beyond two decades over multiple governments. With this last payment, a major legacy burden on the nation’s finances has finally been removed. But, before discussing ‘OIL BOND’, let us review the Global Oil Scenario of the first decade of 21 st   century. BACKGROUND: Global crude oil prices experienced a dramatic surge between 2005 and 2010—peaking near $147 a barrel in July 2008 before a sharp recessionary drop and subsequent recovery—driven by a "perfect storm" of rapid demand growth, limited supply, and financial speculation. KEY FACTORS CAUSING THE SURGE : Soaring Demand from Emerging Markets: Rapid economic expansion in China drove massive demand for transportation and industrial energy. China accounted for roughly 40% of the world's oil demand ...

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years. Villagers talk about Arvari's rebi...

KNOW THY LEADER AND IDENTIFY ENEMY

Image
  KNOW THY LEADER AND   IDENTIFY ENEMY SARASIJ MAJUMDER Think about it—the man who has effectively FIRST MARGINALIZED   AND THEN ALMOST ERASED Arvind Kejriwal (AK-49) & HIS   PARTY without even uttering his name. AK-49 was once a ‘DEEP STATE’ man, later dumped. Uddhav Bhai is gasping for political life!! Congress party IS LIVING SOMETIME IN ICU , SOMETIME IN VENTILATOR for the last 12 years . And who ensured that elections were conducted relatively peacefully in a state like West Bengal—where, at one time, voting was synonymous with violence, gunfire, bombings, and loss of hundreds of lives. Who, and whose party and whose Leaders achieved the above? Introspect. Who revoked Article 370—a decision that Political Pundits & Critics once claimed would start with   a bloodbath in Kashmir, ultimately end with getting Kashmir joining with PAKISTAN. Well—the situation is different!! Who has largely brought the menace of stone-pelters in Kashmi...
