SENSEX

       In the year 2008, there was a global meltdown in the financial sector and resultantly the stock market crashed throughout the world. Indices of stock markets plunged downward.  BSE, was no exception. SENSEX lost 1408 points in a single day on 21^st January and the downward trend continued throughout the year. Baffled investors and traders lost huge sum of money and sadly some of them even lost their fortunes as Sensex came down from 22000 plus points to 8000 minus.

       During one of those days in Ranchi, one Jharkhand-Minister was addressing a press conference on some other issues. One journalist, wanted to have a dig about his concern for the stock market.

       He asked politely, ”Sir, there is a very rapid, uncontrolled and continuous downward fall in SENSEX for the past few months, investors and traders of Ranchi are also suffering because of this, what is your Government doing to arrest this falling?”

       The minister replied after some thoughts, “सेंसेक्स तो क्या, हर सेक्स पर सरकार की पूरी नज़र है. दोषियों के विरुद्ध यथासंभव कानून की तहत कड़ी से कड़ी कारवाई की जायेगी.” (Not only SENSEX, Govt. is having a close watch on all the SEXES; stern action will be taken against the culprits as per law.)
