Various estimates peg loss to Indian GDP due to climate change between 3-10%. Decrease in water supply could disrupt agricultural production, leading to food inflation & social unrest.
Success with the implementation of reforms in any sector is possible only if there is a constant monitoring and evaluation of the reforms being implemented.
The VFX effects are what you’d expect from a run-of-the-mill video game or a mediocre fantasy show. But a film that supposedly cost thousands of crores? The audience deserves more.
The central bank has rolled out some of its toughest measures in more than a decade to curb speculation & support the currency, which has been setting successive record lows this year.
Three-day conflict between India and Pakistan underscored the growing importance of information warfare as a critical domain alongside conventional military operations.
It’s easy to understand why the government can’t speak the hard truth. When this war ends, as all wars do, India’s interests will lie with both the winner and the loser.
Japan unfortunately cannot take up the slack created with America. Indian merchandise exports of $ 5 billion last year, versus $ 80 billion to the US. Plus the US is a market for service exports that others simply cannot match.
My heart tells me this goes beyond opening the marker for US agricultural exports. A loaded political question in India. Also beyond the personality and temperament of President Trump, obviously a monumental challenge for the whole world, including NATO allies. 2. The defining partnership of the twenty first century. Over hyped, both sides did their sums and realised it was not delivering as expected. Our problems with America will not end with the departure of Trump, any more than they did with Biden’s. 3. With America and China, the two superpowers and largest economies, Indian foreign policy needs to return to the drawing board.
You are right in mentioning that ‘no Indian prime minister can offer the kind of concessions Trump seeks in agriculture’. But if I were the prime minister, I would have enforced zero import tariffs on all products and services worldwide and made India the world’s number one free-market economy, I would have India such a heavily industrialised country that the interested farmers would themselves sell their lands for market prices directly to industries without the govt mediating. At the end of my five-year term as the prime minister, I would have implemented reforms in land, labour, and capital to make India a developed country, only to see the electorate kick me out of the PM’s office. For me, the nation’s prosperity is more important than farmers and their ‘third-rate socialist security’. Long live the free market.
