As many as 86% of farmer & 80% of agricultural labours are mired in debt, says a study on Indebtedness among Farmers & Agricultural Labourers in Rural Punjab.
The Arhtiyas (Middlemen) of Punjab
The Arhtiyas of Punjab are political connected.
In July 2017, in a public function the Arhyiyas felicitated Amarinder Singh with the title of ‘Fakhr-e-Quam’(Pride of the Community).
As many as 86% of farmer & 80% of agricultural labours are mired in debt, says a study on Indebtedness among Farmers & Agricultural Labourers in Rural Punjab.
No less than 8,294 farmers took their own lives between 2000 & 2015, says a study presented last year before the Vidhan Sabha’s Committee.
The study, commissioned by the state government’s revenue department, found that 83 per cent of all these suicides were largely debt-driven.
Their average other income excluding commissions & MSP cuts per year is 12 Lakh/ Annum. They receive 1370 Cr in interest every year
Punjab had 20,000 Arhtiyas as per a report in 2012 & the extent of farm indebtedness has doubled in the past 10 years
The indebted farmers are not in a position to repay the whole amount of debt in a single season;
The reasons is to divide their expenses and income to reduce the income & the sale tax, & to remain in business as usual even if one is cancelled as punishment for malpractices.

Dharmapuri MP Dr. Senthil Kumar in the Floor of Parliament said that the Public Distribution System in TN was introduced by Annadurai. PDS in Tamil Nadu was introduced in 1964 when Bhaktavachalam was CM. DMK came to power only in 1967
Niti Aayog report says TN has PDS since 1964. As always, DMK continues to take credit for every welfare measure implemented in the past. https://t.co/ht8JtE4EE6
Farm loans were waived off in 2006- Cooperative societies were not paid back in full as per their commitment to pay back. Only 20% paid back.
Electricity for farmers was introduced in 1984 and properly enacted in 2004.

Save Kattupalli?? From whom?
Yet another Flip Flop of DMK
Most print media including the Wire & News Minute had taken up the expansion of Adani’s Katupalli port.
The National Herald had also reported this with a political flavour. But vital details missing in all these.
The Kattupalli port received approval & began construction during the DMK Regime. Surprised to see questions posted by them now on the need of this port when chennai already has 2 ports. EIA submitted in 2008 by L&T and the port became operational in 2013 https://t.co/YQVsmdBE19
The EIA submitted in 2008 had clear mention of no fishing activity near the coastal areas.
The future expansion plan also was part of the initial proposal that was submitted.
Also find the proposed development plan. Now compare it with the initial proposal. No change at all.
See the biased reporting of The Wire.
As per the application for environmental clearance submitted by MIDPL in 2018, 1087 acres of sea area will be reclaimed by using the dredged sand but Wire reports it as 2000 acres.
https://t.co/ie7KR3J1tK
Total proposed area of expansion is 5238 Acres as per the report, Wire calls in 6111 acre master plan. Not sure where they got these information.
And the most important point to note in all these is MIDPL expansion proposal submitted by L&T, even before Adani acquired it.

A THREAD ON @SarangSood
Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.
Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen
1. Keeps following volatility super closely.
Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.
Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.
2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.
3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result
He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.
4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega
Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.

I am quite different from your style. I follow the market's volatility very closely. I have mock positions in 7-8 different strategies which allows me to stay connected. Whichever gives best profit is usually the one i trade in.

Anilji most of the time these days Theta only falls when market moves. So the Theta actually falls where market has moved to, not where our position was in the first place. By shifting we can come close to capturing the Theta fall but not always.

This week has been great so far. The main aim is to be in the right side of the volatility, rest the market will reward.

There is a difference between theta decay & fall in vega. Decay is certain but there is no guaranteed profit as delta moves can increase cost. Fall in vega on the other hand is backed by a powerful force that sells options and gives handsome returns. Our job is to identify them.

First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic
Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits
Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their
Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time
Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
i wonder if you can make a thread bout witchcraft in malaysia.. or list of our own local gods/deites..

Animist ceremonies of a religious or magical nature were normally held for the purpose of divination or making a request. This would either be done at a keramat or at a shrine similar to the Thai spirit houses or Chinese roadside shrines pic.twitter.com/I1hliyi0x3
