Russia has not made any statement yet, condemning Turkish offensiveness.

 
Despite the claims, cooperation with Turkey is much more beneficial for Russia
In the mid of January, Turkey launched operation “Olive Branch” in Syrian city of Afrin. The purpose of that to tackle Kurdish militia that was causing problems inside Turkey from sitting over there in Syria. As, the offensive gesture proceeded in Syria there are speculations that Russia was involved helping Turkey overcoming the Kurdish militia. Explicitly, without Russian consent, operation of such temperament could have not been started.

The operation on one hand required Air force to enter into Syrian territory which must be conducted with Russian approval. On the other side of dilemma, Turkey thought it vital to assure from Russia that Bashar ul Asad will not gain edge over the situation and snatch the places in Idlib province on which Turkey has its hold.

Another strong argument to this allegation is that Russia has not yet made a single statement condemning the Turkish offensiveness. Additionally, it seemed impossible that operation of such caliber by similarly a smaller state was initiated without the shoulder strength of a larger one. General from YPG force has questioned Russia why they have betrayed the Kurds and as they did this they have to pay a price sooner or later. According to the YPG, Russia became the eyebrows for Turks when this operation started.

Reportedly, Turkish Chief of Staff Hulusi Akar and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigo met in Istanbul last year during summer. In that sitting the seeds of operation olive branch were planted. Thereupon, Russia gave access to Turkey for usage of Syrian airspace that later became the opening door for operation in Afrin. Surprisingly, Ankara started building its military base near Kurdish areas of ruling and that was the part of that agreement. However, Russian withdrawal of troops from Afrin is a fact that no one can deny and this act is making the objections more clear.

Russian relations with Kurds been never so lively yet they only used their support when it needed to stand up in the terrains of Middle East. Additionally, YPG always allied with United States and opposite to Russia.

Additionally, Russia elections are approaching in 2018 and Vladimir Putin wants to start its campaign by successfully inaugurating the Congress of Syrian people which is hosted by Turkey. In order to end this combat through a peaceful measure the help of Turkey is essential. Henceforth, Putin needs Turkey on his side.

An important chip on Turkish side is gas pipeline that is being constructed in Turkish waters. Moscow is willing to expand its gas export to higher level and it is not ready to face anything that cripples this process of construction. The Turkish steam is a Russian dream indeed.

Income inequality in India is getting worse.

 
A country of poor people but, not for poor people
At the event of ongoing World Economic Forum, a report was released by Oxfam. The report underlined the increasing wealth disparity in India in couple of years. Reportedly, the 1% of total population owned 73% of total wealth in 2017. However, the figure was 58% in 2016. By and large, the increasing ratio is much higher than expected and this is prodigious situation.

Meanwhile, experts analyzed the situation as worse than before. Indian tax reforms were brought in by British authoritative rule in 1922. As can be seen, the inequality has raised surpassing the situations from any of the year passed. Additionally, economists have confirmed the rapid growth of economic diversification between the countrymen. Henceforth, the approximate calculations have to be noted seriously. Meanwhile, if someone is going to object the estimations, than the direction and rapidity of income equality would still be a concerned aspect to deal with.
 
Top 10 Indians are having 73% of total wealth.

To demonstrate, the liberal mode of ideological economic system in this country has seems failed. The poor who are working hard for the owners, living in poor conditions but building infrastructure as struggling for the education of their children to get going. As can be seen, Indians are struggling for a meal a day. Consequently, these conditions are going to urge on more corruption and patronage resulting in weakening and discouraging democracy. Explicitly, according to the reports, it will take approximately 900 years for a low income worker in India to earn what the top executives and owner in leading firms are earning in a year.

There are extreme level steps that government has to conduct including to promote inclusive growth by encouraging labor sectors, high tax ration on super-rich personalities, tackle gender discrimination and reforms against tax dodging. The estimated tax evasion is $200 billion. Most importantly, the fact is developing countries are losing about $170 billion in tax dodging every year.

By and large, the solution of this massive drawback is lying in Indian hands. Growth diversity can be eradicated through limiting the share of shareholders which are getting ten times to the salary of an average worker who works day after day for the firm. The companies should encourage limiting the pay ration to owners and executives as well.
