On the way to India.
A note from: Dr. Mohammad Tabibian (Economist)
It is a painful event for a nation to become poor, but it is not strange.
What if India was one of the richest countries in the 17th century and one of the poorest from the 19th century onwards.
It is possible to travel this way without noise, only occasionally we open our eyes with an incident and realize that we are getting closer there.
Recently, a bus overturned in the valley and a number of people, including young journalists, died and many families mourned.
It is said that wear of tires and parts was an important factor.
Thousands of buses and cars, trains and airplanes are suffering from this problem, which means that the country’s transportation facilities and other facilities are gradually eroding because there is no possibility of replacement.
Many workshops and factories are also facing the problem of erosion of machines and tools and the problem of the impossibility of replacement and degradation of production and working capacity.
This silent impoverishment is going on in many of our homes.
Let me give an example.
Three years ago, I bought a samovar for two hundred and twenty thousand tomans.
This year, its milk broke, I went to buy samovar milk, it says 350 thousand tomans.
The samovar itself, if you find it, is two and a half million tomans.
I did not buy the samovar milk
A pedal salt bucket broke three years ago, about two hundred thousand tomans, this morning the seller said, one million two hundred thousand tomans.
I did not buy it.
If the home refrigerator, which is more than 20 years old and it is possible for it to break, breaks down, more than 60 million tomans must be paid for a suitable refrigerator.
I will not buy
Vacuum cleaner, washing machine…
I am a tenured university professor.
If I had a life left, I would soon find my house empty of many essentials.
The purchasing power of the monthly income of many of us has reached a third in three or four years
When we get below a hundred dollars a month, we will be below the poverty line, without having tried or committed a crime.
Don’t be surprised if I say we are on the way to become Indian.
In some areas of the cities, people’s faces are becoming Indian
Faces are caused by the continuous lack of nutrition, which is caused by the gradual increase in food prices. And the appearance is used and old because of the top coat.
In 1360, there were activities going on in the program organization to compile the country’s economic development plan
One day, some revolutionary students from a university came to my office.
They said that we heard you say that the goal of the program is to reach Japan in twenty years!
They emphasized that this goal is low and we must make a revolutionary leap and overtake Japan sooner.
I said that I have not said such a thing and I don’t even imagine that we will reach Japan in fifty years
Now, forty years have passed since that date, as if we have taken the wrong turn towards India.
I know those students also live in Canada, they have reached Japan
India is also progressing, my concern is that it will pass us by and we will find ourselves behind.
Did you notice that in the debates of the presidential elections, no one talked about lofty ideals, lofty goals for the progress of the country??
Everyone talked about the promise of providing some money for subsistence allowance, or uncalculated promises for providing housing and the like, or monitoring the market and controlling distribution and price.
Perhaps it is appropriate to keep the discourse of progress and progress for the country and the continuous improvement of the lives of our countrymen alive as a national ideal and not allow it to be swept aside on the path of becoming an Indian.
