Do You Know- The US prison industry is one of the most profitable industries in the US?

Yesterday, while watching a show on the national geographic channel, I came to know that the US prison industry is among the top most profitable industries in the US. There are more than 2 million prisoners in US jails, which is the highest number in the world much higher than China, the most populous country of the world. America has only 5% world population and it accounts for the nearly 25% prisoners in the world.

As per the estimates, this industry is likely to grow in the future by making a billions of dollars of profit. Therefore, there are many investors who want to invest in the US prison industry. In just ten years of time, the number of private prisons in US has increased from 5 to 100 which shows the growth in this sector.

These prisons make profits by forcing inmates to work at a fraction of the cost for the industries working in the jail premises. These prisoners make many items from army helmets, number plates, paint brushes, home appliances, speakers, furniture and many more.

The success of any business depends on the availability of cheap labor and prisons are helping industry with cheap labor. Most of the prisoners have no other option but to work for very less wages, if they say no to work, then they are given the hard punishments.

It is shocking to know that one of the most advance and richest country of the world is also one of the highest producers of prisoners in the world. Whereas countries like Sweeden are closing their prisons because of falling numbers of crimes and on the other side, crime rate is sharply increasing in the US, and further some people are making good money on this increase in prisoners in jails.

Some thinkers have written that US prison industry is anti-human and it reminds about the German Nazi concentration camps. A country like US which pretends to be liberal and human friendly needs a look at its social system and why such a huge social crisis exists in that country.

About Bihar Sanskrit Shiksha Board results, recognition and Authenticity

  I posted about the Bihar Sanskrit Shiksha Board (BSSB) earlier too because I found many people struggling to find the results of their exams. Many frauds have been done in the name of this school board and there is news of fake certificates sold for Rs 10,000. For the first time, I have found a school education board whose website changes so fast and we can find multiple websites online. Initially, the first question which came to my mind was that Is Bihar Sanskrit Shiksha Board is a fake one or a real one because it is very hard to find the real and current active official website of this board.  In 2008, the website of this board was www.bssbonline.com and then changed to www.bssbpatna.com. In the 2020 official letter of the board, the official website was written www.bssbpat.com. In an earlier 2019 official letter, two websites are mentioned www.bssbpat.com and www.bssbpat.in.  Online I found the mention of biharsanskritshikshaboard.in as the official website. There is a website n

Movie Review “Slumdog Millionaire” (Dark face of India)

Danny Boyle’s latest film “Slumdog Millionaire” has shown another dark face of India to world on which any Indian will not feel proud. Though, in recent times standards of living for common people in India has seen significant improvement, however, still our 15-20% population is living under same ugly conditions as they were living 50 years back. India has seen an unparallel growth throughout the country where some places and states have grown tremendously as compared to other places and states. Why we should we go any far, we can give the example of Dharavi slum in Mumbai where story of Slumdog Millionaire mostly revolves. Dharavi is biggest slum area of world situated in the heart of Mumbai, definitely not a thing to be proud of, however, this is big reality of present India. We may become super power of world; however, these truths will always remain with us. Through, this movie Danny Boyle has tried his best to put forward best of worst in Dharavi. Slumdog Millionaire has already b
