Nationalist Japan!?!

About 60 years after second world war, it looks silly to think that Germany and Japan can be global threat. I'd personally support to deviate somewhat from their pacifist constitution created under the shadow of post-war situation to make it more consent to the present situation. Germany is not facing any direct threat, but Japan does. The geopolitics in Asia is the complex as it can get. The endeavour of present japanese government to change pacifist japanese constitution, is not only debated internationally with famous western black-or-white perception, but also seen the same way in modern japanese generation. Essence of patriotism is lost in well-to-do generation of both countries, but it is still burning in the generations those of India and China, and other developing countries, which faced harsh realities of colonialism, as well those of USA, where passion for nationalism is kept alive, indulging the nation in continuous blasphemy with idea of nonsense war. Germany and Japan cannot afford to stay pair of shoes of the USA forever. Both are great nations and they have offered more to the world than holocaust and m(s)ad-imperialism. Japan should realign itself in present complex geopolitical equation. If the nation cannot unite for such change in constitution, I fear it may lead to schizophrenia of selective radical fascism which will haunt the society, economy, in fact, the whole state of affair.

Money tightening

Can money tightening is always the best solution to curb the inflation? In the latest Indian budget, more attention has been given to control the inflation. It seems some monetary action will be taken, too. But as the history shows, it hasn't worked always. Here is the quote from the article “Privatisation: How such sacrifice should poor make?”:

Social Slum Zone, socioeconomic viable solution?

The plight of the people who are forced to move out of their decade old living place, which is seen as opposite of modern way of life, can be seen in all developing countries. The scarcity of the space in megacities is forcing creation of new laws against almost 70% of the population to make life comfortable for richer people. It is government's responsibility and competency to frame better driven policies to accommodate all types of lives. Special Slum Zone wouldn't be better solution, since it would lead to alienation and ignorance towards the needs of the most needy in the city. I accept all the arguments of the author, but I disagree with this solution.
