There is a chain of market which links the producer to the buyer, but everyone does not benefit equally in the market.
The foreign business persons made huge profits. Compared to this, the garment exporters made moderate profits. Some people like small farmers (like Swapna), weavers, workers earn little. The profits made by the merchants or traders are somewhere in between. So everyone does not gain equally in the market. In democracy everybody has right to earn a fair wage for his work.
If people don't earn enough then they cannot think themselves as equal to others and cannot live with dignity.
The market offers people opportunities to work and earn fairly. But it is the people, who are rich powerful and have large establishments take away the maximum benefit. And the poor people, because of their dependence on the rich, are exploited in the market.

The atmosphere is divided into five layers starting from the Earth's surface
(i) Troposphere Its average height is 13 km. The air we breathe exists here. Almost all the weather phenomena like rainfall, fog and hailstorm occur in this layer.
(ii) Stratosphere It lies above the troposphere which extends up to a height of 50 km. This layer is almost free from clouds and associated weather phenomenon, making conditions most ideal for flying aeroplanes. It contains a layer of ozone gas.
(iii) Mesosphere It lies above the stratosphere. It extends up to the height of 80 km. Meteorites burn up in this layer on entering from the space.
(iv) Thermosphere In thermosphere, temperature rises very rapidly with increasing height. Ionosphere is a part of this layer. It extends between 80-400 km. This layer helps in radio transmission. In fact, radio waves transmitted from the Earth are reflected back to the Earth by this layer.
(v) Exosphere This uppermost layer. This layer has very thin air. Light gases like helium and hydrogen float into the space from here.

Due to Censorship a news item, scenes from movies or songs are not shared with public.

Despite the absence of censorship on news, most newspapers are unable to provide a balanced story.
