[Archive Blog (29/10/2016)] Can India become a next Super Power ?

Festive seasons are on Media and Organizations are busying appealing peoples not to buy any Chinese products and never to support Chinese made product. Its a effort to encircle China which is investing hugely on Pakistan for their benefit. There is nothing to hide that China is soon to become a next super power of the World along side with Russia in a state to compete with United States of America. But question arises when India will be the next super power when India will have their own technology their own source and when India will export those in other Countries to create its own list to empower ourself as next Super Power. Any struggling Country is ready to take a support from a big units if its offering the hand of friendship along with huge support, as of now Pakistan need a support and China is providing unconditionally from Outside and Inside. China's one big reason to become a super power is the devotion of people towards the Country and second thing they're far away on their investment on Infrastructure, Games and Defense similar case is with Russia. Unless you won't be devotee of your Country unless you won't think on the Country's frame of mind and its almost impossible to put a structure of United Power.

Basically problem with India is its diversity after 60 years of Independence as well we still have different point of views and ideas which causes the huge conflict of interests. We're lacking to overcome some major issues as well, we lacked to develop our research system, infrastructure of sports bodies and static defense policy are the hurdles of India's growth. At the one hand India is progressing rapidly in Space programs but at the other hand we're still behind to develop any mechanism any technique to protect our crops being a Agriculture Country, every year due to rain millions of dollars crops get wasted in some part of India due to drought not only Farmers from the region but entire Country fights from the challenges, but still we haven't got anything rather then prayers. The amount Govt. till now announces and releases for Farmers Welfare and Support if got invested in some research and implementation then might be Indian Farmers too would have the same fate like developed Countries Farmer where Farming is not only a passion but also a great career to choose for. Anyway Farmers will be more thankful if they got the announced support by Govt. and its offices at the right time.

Its not like that no one has tried and did nothing in last 60 years, strategies built written down but file waited for the approval for long time and when it overcome from all the odds its sent to reset as the earlier proposal too by that time becomes old and then for new planning a new table will set and then draft will made. We got a complex system as well from which one organization can put a hurdle of other even one Ministry of same Govt. can questions another Ministry of same Govt. and that discussion can forever closes to the seal packed file. If Govt. changes then way of working changes and strategy changes if Govt. remains then timeline increases and pace of work got slow tats why development remains the major issue of every election from Municipal to State and Center. We might never heard in the election campaign that "We did this and will do that" instead we must heard that "We miss this and will complete that". During election you can very easily found politician near you but afterwards its very difficult to find even PA. Unless we don't change the structure of the system and people involves on it we can't change the society and Country.

We're heavily relying on import tats what a big reason why Countries considers India as Market any tieup with a respective Country means that we needs to be ready with the cash to buy any sot of thing and Country which is selling things are undoubtedly creating jobs in their own land but also will use that money to either develop their Country or invest on some other interest with entering in a partnership with other Countries. It means that basically buyer may have a power to raise voice but can't be dominate in some extend as even buyer need a shop to fulfill the need. Its what today India is fighting from terrorism alone as despite of so much man power we not ables to develop any technique and infrastructure both in Digital and Defense. Clearing the roadblocks of FDI and letting them to do business is also not gonna solve any purpose its like we're heading back to the past where Kings of regions allowed East India Company to do business and ultimately with that Company we had a British Ruling. Though British left us but few things we still keeping from them and after 60 years we may have our ruling and voice but we need a support of any growing kingdom.

As per the experts ideally we needs to spend our 2% amount of GDP in Research but we're spending less then 1%, in Defense India maintaining the neck to neck with other Countries with reaching to 4th Spot but we're still buying Jets - Ships, in Sports the expenditure is more weak and highly criticized by Sports Athletes who represented India outside in World Championships, Olympics and other games. If discussion comes on Education and Health then there will be a lot more to talk. Basic need of India is Proper Employment, Good Education and better Health facilities. As a youth-centric Country good education comes with a huge cost and tat doesn't guarantees the job of your liking, still we're far behind from Health sector millions of baby dies the day they born in a annual figure. We did using Smart phones whether brand is Indian based or Outside but it did manufactured in China or Taiwan and we're happily buying it as it costing less. We're enjoying Google and Microsoft though Chief of those companies are Indian but still India can't have such companies. We like to work for others but we never like to work for own.

We're searching for investment so that human cycle in the Country rotates properly but even its a investment of other we need a investment of our own. To become Super Power you need to become Contributor as well as need a Contribution without the participation on this 50:50 JV you can't expect any development. Unless you're not representing ourself as Land of Opportunity it will be very hard to create any Opportunity hence unless your thoughts are not big your any aim and target will not be worth. When you chase to become Super Power you become Super, if you chase Super it can be ordinary as you always set a doubt on you and your chase won't have confidence as well. If India needs a development then it needs to think like Super Power and needs to follow the footstep. Wasting Potentials are very easy but grabbing those is a kind of smartness. People refers to be Indian is quite a honor but we need People representing India in every field then only it will be a moral victory of India infront of the World.

Skype Lite: The one such app everyone was waiting for

Well finally from Microsoft a must needed lighter version of Skype App launched, well they might be late in the already crowded market but still good for professionals who're sticking around with it. Launching the lighter version may not for High end professionals but to ensure the popularity of Skype which can grow further. Interesting thing is that Skype Lite launched exclusively for the Indian Market which indicates the importance of India in terms of "Consumer". Last year Facebook Lite launched to aim the Countries having slow Internet Connection though it was build concentrating India as per their strategy. Not only Speed but Indian youths having massive space issue in their phones as well, bunch of similar kind of apps are enough to consume very little given slot in the lower or mid range phone. To tackle this Companies are launching Lite weight apps which consumes less data, less storage and less RAM.

Skype Lite is not that lite still have a size of 13 MB and if its being pull down from some 90 MB which used to be the original size of Skype App at 2015 then hats off to Microsoft for this. Ever since Facebook Lite was introduced the need of most important apps to go lighter was increased as well. India is a fastest growing Country on Social Media, Millions of peoples are having Social Media or forced to have a Social Media Account in the current structure of modern era world, today most of the peoples are having different mail accounts, different social media accounts, different profiles and for maintaining those demand of Smart Phone are increased, mostly in India need of lower or mid range phones are increased hence to maintaining every profile in lesser specs either user have to compromise or company has to, even if the number of public Wifi are increasing that doesn't mean we have full authority to consume data as there to we have limitation in the given resources.

Indeed entry of Skype Lite is late to focus specially in India and they can't hide from taking a blow on this, now they have competition from Duos to WhatsApp and strain to work better or atleast remain as a first source for the people. When Youtube Go launched its main focus was to give a option to the users to save the video offline but the only plus for the app was preview of the video rest it can't be the alternative of current Youtube App. As per the experts that App of Youtube was nothing more but to keep the edge from a competition like Facebook or Instagram who're moving seriously on Video division, specially Facebook with their Live feature. after the growth of Facebook Live, Twitter decides to integrated with Periscope to give people a option of Live in the Main App itself. Facebook Live option is although not available in Facebook Lite App.

How to Start With in Skype Lite ?


Launching of Skype Lite is very easy, you just needs to follow the instruction and have to checkout the privacy settings as Skype Lite can read your contacts, call history and messages, then you have to login with your current Skype Account.


 

 



Key Points for Skype Lite


* This 13 MB App is capable to work in lower internet mainly in 2G, so as per the speed whenever user will get a decent speed Video Call will convert to HD and whenever the speed fall the quality will also fall using compression technology.

* Skype Lite will show the amount of data you have consume and how much you have saved using Lite version, it will also mention you the breakdown of Wifi and Cellular Data. 




* Skype Lite can also be used as your default dialler app or messenger app. you can check out your messages, chat, call history, contact list without switching between apps, you can also apply filter for a better organizing. With this move Skype trying to eliminate other Messenger or all in one apps.





* The only thing user gonna miss in this Lite App are Mojis - GIF images which are like Animated Stickers which we all fond of it.

* Skype Lite covers 7 different Indian Languages like Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.


Skype Lite with Aadhaar Integration



This is quite a interesting thing because even many payment apps are not even integrated with Aadhaar. What will be the future plan for Microsoft with this can't be called at this stage, as Microsoft gave the option to the users so that user verifies the identity of the person he or she is talking or wants to confirm. User just needs to request for the Aadhaar verification, the other person if agrees for it, will receives a key via OTP for the confirmation to get it verify.


Skype Lite is the new life for Skype



Microsoft don't wants to stick with Operating Systems or Microsoft Office, they wants to expand their business in many way, they failed in Mobile Sector and lost their focus from other acquisitions. When Microsoft bid for Linkedin everyone was shocked with this, they do came up with new outlines like Linkedin Lite although they didn't came up with new App but promised to make a website lighter for Slow connections and launched "Sangam" program to help White Color professionals. Overall Skype Lite is a push from Microsoft to bring back the existing users similarly attracts the new during the season of "Datagiri", also with this way they buckled up to compete with updated competition.
