15)

Subbamma familys budget. Suppose if next month, their house-owner increases the
rent to Rs. 2,500. At the same time, bus fares and petrol charges also increase, so his
family has now has to spend to Rs.2, 000 per month on transport. With the new prices
their cost of living has now increased by another Rs.1000. How can his family manage, if
there is no increase in their earning? If they have some savings, they can use that.
Otherwise they are compelled to borrow from friends or relatives. But they also have to
repay them with interest charges, isnt it?
If Subbamma borrow from close relative, he need not have to pay interest. If they
borrow from a money lender, he will have to repay the borrowing with some interest. If it
is interest Rs.3 for every Rs.100 or 3% per month, Rs.75 would have to be added every
month as interest. Suppose Subbamma family is able to repay only after six months, this
means, they have to repay Rs.2500 plus Rs.450 i.e., Rs.2950.
One way for them to adjust their budget, is to reduce some of their expenditure.

India shares borders with this country. Burma, like India was a colony of the
British. It was a major supplier of teak wood, food crop like rice and minerals like tin and
precious stones like rubies and sapphires. Burma also became independent just 5 months
after Indian independence. They established a parliament with two houses like as in India.
There were elections in which different political parties contested during the year 1951,
1956 and 1960. It appeared that Burma too would emerge as a democratic republic like
India. However, the Burmese did not have a united political party to lead them at that
time.
You may remember that in 1947 India had a large number of princely states like the
Hyderabad state and it took a few years to weld all of them into one Republic. Similarly
Burma too consisted of a large number of small states and ethnic-linguistic regions.
