India on the way to be AATMANIRBHAR?
Since the Covid-19 outbreak, for which everyone blames China and declared it as Chinese virus. Indian social media has been flooded with posts, videos of Indians crashing their Chinese televisions and smartphones. While we have seen the #BoycottChineseProducts movement earlier, this time, China’s interference at the Line of Actual Control made things nastier and fueled the ire of Indians. Sonam Wangchuk, was the first to convey the benefits of boycott.
But really is it possible to boycott Chinese goods, specifically talking about Smart phones. Let’s know what are the facts and truth.
After videos of breaking the T.V’s and Smart phones made by Chinese company, a sense of nationalism is seen among people which can be noticed every Wednesday at 12:00pm when it does not take even 1 min to stock out MI phones.This is how the boycott is done. Well, should we criticize all the people purchasing mobiles of companies like MI, Realme, Vivo and oppo. A big no, we just can’t blame them.
The irony of the boycott is seen when we recognize among the top five smartphone brands in the country, ‘four places are occupied by the Chinese companies’. So what should one buy? It’s basic pshycology of a buyer to opt for the value for money product.
The first and foremost aspect that works as a advantage for Chinese smartphone brands is their ability to cost devices in the affordable and pocket friendly category. The manufacturers ‘give value to customers at the proper price with the adequate specs’.Moreover, they’ve achieved a dominant Indian online and offline distribution chain, said Tarun Pathak, senior analyst at Hong Kong news media. Also, in a survey published on June 19, only four out of 10 Indians said they will not acquire Chinese phones.
According to a report by Counterpoint Research published in May 2020, Xiaomi holds the highest share in market of 30 percent, Vivo indexes next occupying 17 percent of the market, number three is Samsung with 16 percent, further fourth and fifth position hold by Chinese brands Realme and Oppo with 14 and 12 percent market share, respectively.
The new launch of ‘OnePlus 8 Pro’, on June 18, was sold out within minutes on Amazon, said by a senior executive of the e-commerce marketplace. Also no drop in sales of other Chinese smartphone brands is seen either, the executive reportedly said.It is obvious that things will not transform overnight, mainly because consumers don’t have much choices. Samsung the South Korean based company is the only optional non-Chinese brand in the market. But how it will be benefited, we will be just shifting from one brand to other which is also a outsider. Also, “How will Samsung suddenly scale up to fill hole in the market even if it #BoycottChina pans out?” questioned Navkendar Singh, a research director with market intelligence firm IDC India.Even he says, “From a consumer point of view, it’s a pure value game and Chinese smartphone companies have been successful in fulfilling that.”
Eventually, brands are now attempting to prove their loyalties to India. They are playing it smart by playing-up their ‘Indian-ness’.“I won’t be surprised if a big chunk of presentations go into distinguishing themselves by how they’re building jobs in India, and furthering R&D,” said Pathak.
In a show on YouTube aired on June 16, Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth emphasized that “Realme is an Indian startup which is converted into a global MNC.” He added that many of the company’s creations and products are India-first and 7,500 direct employment in the nation is created by Realme.
Manu Kumar Indian Xiamoi MD said his company was more Indian compared to Indian companies. It has an entirely local administration, and has developed employment for 50,000 people. “And 100% of the data of Indian users stays in India,” he said.
What about Aatmanirbhar now?
A trade war with China is not the answer. Boycott is not a permanent solution, instead its just becoming slave of one another nation. India has been energetically acting to emerge as a production house for everything. But it’s not ready to declare itself entirely self-sufficient just yet.
A boycott isn’t about not using finished products but has an impact on raw material and machinery that facilitate the making of various Make in India initiatives.So before your anger ingnite to throw that LCD, and smart phone out your balcony, make sure you throw out almost everything else as well. Because every other thing you touch a Made in China sticker will be awaiting for a glance.
Dussehra: Victory of Good over evil, is celebrated on the 10th day of month Ashvina. Victory means Prabhu Rama over Ravana in famous hindu epic Ramayan. Also it means the end of Durga puja and Ramlila. In Ramayan, Ravana kidnaps god Rama’s wife Sita, as god Rama & Laxman cuted of the nose of ravna’s sister surpanakha. So to claim vengeance on them Ravana kidnapped sita. To get back maa sita Prabhu Rama and Laxman faught battle against Ravana with the help of hanuman, Subriv & other Vanar sena.
In this battle Ravana’s brother Bhibishan also helped god Ram against Ravana . At the end of Prabhu Ram wins the battle and rescues Maa Sita. Thereafter this victory is celebrated by burning the statue of Ravan, Kumbhakarn, his son Meghnath. Dusshersa is a climax of long day celebration of Navratri.
Navratri:
The nine days of Navratri is the time to reflect on oneself, observe silence & practice fasting. Fasting cleanses the body of toxins and silence purifies speech & mind. What does Dasehra means Das means ten and hara means take away. Which came after Navratri means nine nights if darkness. On each day of Navratri we pray to that form of goddess durga to take away that darkness of ignorance within us. After that on tenth day on the occasion of Dasehra we burn all the evil, bad things, thoughts, bad habits inside us in that fire in the form of Ravna as evil inside us.
Dusshera: Victory of Good over evil
Ravana is not the demon or evil, you yourself are one. In the battele of Ram and Ravana, god Ram had been invoked Durga May to help him win the battle against Ravana. We also should invoked Durga to help us in gaining back our Sita. Sita? It is awareness inside is which has been traped in maya surround us. To make our soul clean and pure we have to burn the evil in the fire by fighting and winning battle against evil. many evils and negative aura lives within us, we should overcome this with good things. This is what Dasehra symbolise.
It is a supreme festival of Hindu culture with true meaning. Furthermore it also symbolize the feminism as the battle is to bring back maa Sita from the Ravana. Whenever person crosses his limit, go beyond it and try to hurt marayda of stree. She will transform into Durga and will punish that person to death. Rama won the battles and the light and happiness spreaded. its our choice, either we want to be Ravana & get entrapped in the worldly pleasure or want to Rama (A spiritual being).To symbolise and to aware Dashera is celebrated do its called, Dussehra: Victory of Good over evil!

Q. When did your journey into writing began?
Priyadeep: “I am fond of writing back from school days. My grandmother passed away, I found dairy of dad- he had written a poem dedicated to his mom. The poem was very heart touching and emotional. So, I felt like I should also start writing, then I started writing small poems and about things happening around. Then I also started writing parodies on teachers just to express my thoughts. When I was in grade 10, then I started compiling my writings together. That time I use to read novels from ‘Chetan Bhagat’, ‘Nikita Singh’ and from many other novelists too. So, at that time I thought should try writing a book. That’s how the journey started.”
Q. When did you realised that you should be a writer and your writing should get published?
Priyadeep: “Actually, as soon I completed my first book writing, actually I started writing that book when I was in the 11th grade. So, I at that time it was bit hard for me to get things done in a commercial way to get my book published and it took lot of time for that. Then I started doing research how to get book published and I also mailed my work to many publishers. So, I got few replies and with one of the publishers I got my book published. And soon it was available for reading.”
Q. What was the most surprising thing you learned while writing novels?
Priyadeep: “I learnt my things from my novels and one thing I want to mentioned is – there is very slight difference between the things we imagine and things which really happen. I think people who are into writing are a kind of overthinkers, they think a lot. They think from different perspective and try to create an anonymous situation out from it. Being writer, I imagine many things but they are not into real life. So, its very important to keep imaginary world and real life separately and keep the things sorted.”
Q. A person can’t be a writer if he/she doesn’t have strong emotion, what are your views?
Priyadeep: “I would not agree on this personally, but a person can be a writer if they are not good grammar, even if they are not having a particular knowledge of language and to portrait things. Emotions are necessary for writing; we need to feel the situations in that particular way. Although very body has emotions it’s not necessary that to be a writer you should have strong emotions, with time and practise you can achieve it. I agree emotions play a vital role in writing and every one of us have emotions and everybody can write.”
Q. What was your childhood dream?
Priyadeep: “I wanted to be singer actually, that was my childhood dream. When I was 4 years old, my dad introduced me to pandit Anurag dixit. He uses to conduct my classical music classes and I was fond of performing in school and at many other places. So later I started to go in shows and started performing at very small age. I also used to sing local songs at that time. Since 12 grade I started performing- singing and also recorded few songs. At that time, I was also busy into writing and getting book published. So, writing made me feel somethings, like that’s what I want to be. So, I continued by writing.”

Q. What are the techniques and strategies you keep in your mind while you are writing?
Priyadeep: “Actually I try my best to justify the title, which I have given to the book. I think title should be always justifying. Then draft your story accordingly so you can keep the track of it. So, I make the points and draft and then start writing the book, so it’s easy for me if I need to add on few things in between. Mainly I focus on the words and vocabulary add it accordingly. I prefer to sketch the character and his nature, so its easy to maintain and build the story.”
Q. Generally how long does it take to complete a book?
Priyadeep: “My first book I completed in six months. And it took lot of time to complete my second book, because I have joined the office and started working at production house in Chandigarh. Now I am launching my next book, so it took me around 3 months to complete it, which I stared writing during lockdown. So, it’s in pipeline and will be out soon. Although it depends on the time and story to complete a book, it may differ from writer to writer.”
Q. How was your experience working with Badshah sir as a creative producer?
Priyadeep: “It was a very nice experience; I had a wonderful time with the team. We also shoot few songs and I learned lot of things about real life and reel life. I determined the people are so much different in real life, then we usually see in reel life. Specifically talking about BADSHAH sir, as we see his personification in songs, he is completely different in real life. He is very sweet, innocent and humble person. In real, he is not much interested into parties. He is very hardworking and fully dedicated to his work. The whole team was amazing, I got few friends too and the overall journey was awesome for me. I learnt many things from them.”
Q. Can you tell us about the moment when you meet Shri. Narendra Modi (Prime minister of India) and you and your work recognised by him?
Priyadeep: “It was an awesome moment for me, I am very grateful for that. Talking about my family they have framed the photographs and pinned to wall everywhere in my house. For them it was a very proud moment. For me it was a very happy and different kind of adventurous moment. I wrote a letter to PM office randomly and unexpectedly I got response to launch my book by him. I think that was one of the best moments as of now in my writing journey.”
Q. What are your future plans?
Priyadeep: “My next book is coming in November and I am also doing a freelance work in Chandigarh right now, it’s a project of 6 months. So, need to go to Ahmedabad for that work.
