Have you heard about a country called Venezuela? It is a big country. Bigger than the Indian states of UP, Bihar, Punjab, Haryana, Bengal and Orissa combined.

And how much is the population? Only 35 million ... .. less than the population of Delhi NCR ........ God has given everything to Venezuela. Fertile land, abundant rain, hundreds of small rivers and thousands of miles long beach.

In spite of having such fertile land and so much water, there is so much hunger in this country today that men have virtually turned into cannibals. There is nothing like farming of crops, fruits & vegetables, dairy, poultry, fishing, etc. in this country.  Even if they can't grow wheat, rice, and vegetables for such a big country, there are grazing areas millions of hectares. Does Venezuela not even have a few cows, buffaloes, sheep and goats to graze and provide meat to its starving population? There is so much abundance of fish in the rivers and ocean.  Yet Venezuela is still starving.  The situation of inflation has reached such levels that if you take a bag of Bolivar to a store, you will not get even a pocketful of bread ....... Inflation rate is 16,98,488% compared to last year. Today you will get 3607 Venezuelan Bolivars in exchange for an Indian rupee.

You may be surprised to know that Venezuela also has the largest crude oil reserves in the world, larger than Saudi Arabia.

You would also be surprised to know that Venezuela was a developed and prosperous nation just 20 years ago, but the wrong policies of its leaders turned a prosperous nation into a beggar in just 20 years.  Today the situation is so bad that many Venezuelan women have had to resort to prostitution for just a piece of bread.

A good leader can turn his country into Singapore in 20 years and an incompetent leader can turn his country into a Venezuela.

What was the mistake of Venezuelan leaders?

After World War II, when there was tremendous demand for oil in the world and the prices were skyrocketing, Venezuela was having a gala time. In 1945, the country was making 1 million barrels of oil per day.

The government started distributing free stuff to its citizens. Every service in the country was government provided and every service was free. In exchange for oil, goods came from all over the world; ration, cereals, fruits, vegetables, medicines, machinery and textiles, everything was imported in exchange for the oil, and the government gave its citizens everything free.

In the 50's and 60's, when the whole world was working hard to increase manufacturing productivity, in Venezuela, not even a needle was produced.  They even imported commodities like cabbage and tomatoes from Europe.

Venezuela is a very beautiful country. Yet they don't have a tourism industry.  Venezuelans were so hostile to tourists that if a tourist ever went there by mistake, it is said that nobody would offer him even a glass of water. Usually in such countries foreigners come from abroad looking of employment, but since there was free service in this country, all the parties and even the people of Venezuela were against the entry of foreigners into the country.  Their thought was, why should foreigners take advantage of our free service.

The result was that the citizens did not do anything for a living, neither farming, nor any other industry, and the government did not let even labor to be imported from abroad to let industries develop. Therefore, there is no development in the country, even tourism..

Then one day the price of crude oil started falling.  The government owned oil company was PDVSA, and the government, typical of a communist government, told the company to give jobs to everyone.  The company told that it does not need more employees.  But the government insisted on it and gave at least one man of every family a job in the government oil company PDVSA where he did not do any work and took home a free, fat salary.

Then the price of oil fell further and the oil company started incurring huge losses.  As a result, providing free stuff to the population became impossible. Slowly every commodity became scarce.  35 million freeloaders who had not done any work in life, started looting. Girls got into prostitution. The socialist government still did not learn.  It started taking loans to continue providing free stuff to its population.

Today Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, is the world's most unsafe city, where people slaughter, and girls sell their body for just a piece of bread.  One plate food costs 1.5 million Bolivar.
at the whole of North India's demand for melons is met from it.
