Whether or not Atmanirbhar Bharat can yield economic dividends, it is already a political success in giving people an economic vision in times of recession.
India’s goal of an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and a $5 trillion economy isn’t achievable by leaving behind a flexible and multi-purpose revolutionary drone technology.
The third phase will run for 3 years till 2023 and aims to benefit around 58.5 lakh employees. Rs 1,584 crore has been allocated for the current fiscal.
It’s unrealistic to expect manufacturing to be 25% of India’s GDP by 2030. ‘Atmanirbhar’ concept is Nehruvian, and India’s competitiveness has to be improved.
On Dattopant Thengadi’s birth centenary, Mohan Bhagwat is set to release a book today on the RSS stalwart who had laid the foundation of Sangh’s economic philosophy.
In a virtual address at IIT Delhi’s convocation, Modi looks to encourage students to work on start-ups and focus on improving Indian citizens’ ease of living.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah had announced that CAPF canteens will only sell swadeshi goods amid a push by Modi government to make India self-reliant.
Google has decided to strictly impose a 30% fee on all digital purchases through Play Store, but backlash from Indian firms has caused it to push back deadline.
Railways signed an MoU with RailTel last year to upgrade India’s antiquated signalling systems with European tech. Atmanirbhar Bharat has made it change its mind.
The proposed amendment to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code aims to reduce timelines and provide for a mechanism that involves minimal interaction with the court. It fails on both counts.
Open to public feedback until 26 November, the revised guidelines, among other changes, give CA firms more flexibility to advertise & promote their services.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
They sold empty slogans only which their supporters, that is nearly 50% of votes polled, happily accepted. So what is the issue. They got more seats than 2014 and they hope to cross 400 mark in 2024. When the majority of the voters are ready to accept these non performers others should not hold any grudge. It is democracy. It is people’s choice
Spent force BJP, divided opposition unity, unfortunately GOP lead by incapacitated leadership, lethargic son added BJP to become stronger inspite of all-round dismal performance under the capaintancy of Modi. Ache din slogan never be Ground reality under Modi leadership. Farmers agitation meticulously weaken by Delhi sultan’s is well known fact.
This author is very predictable and essays the same story again and again. Please write thought provoking and analytical stories. Such a huge waste of time reading the article and then seeing the authors name.
They are way better than my great grand father, gran mother, father was PM , so vote for me, I haven’t done a single job or earned a single rupee, but vote for me.
Fall of UPA in 2014 was solely due to witch-hunt of Rahul and Congress on TV news channels day and night
Success of BJP-RSS even after all kinds of big disaster is solely due to
-TV channels getting inside people’s home and mind day and night to tell them ALL is WELL, never been better + Congress is still the problem if you are facing any problem
Not only is Congress the problem for the bhakths, but even more fundamentally, Nehru is the reason for every problem affetcting the country, even 50 years after his demise. And educated Indians buy that bullshit lock, stick and barrel.
One wonders though if the propensity to consume bullshit is in anyway linked to gomutra consumption … !!!
I believe if only BJP-RSS allow TV news channels to openly criticize BJP-RSS and run real stories & debates on its work, actions, and eventual consequences on We THE People of India (Real ones, no Fake needed)…….
There will be mass Kranti against BJP-RSS & complete removal of its Sakhas from OUR land.
There is so much resistance and force against BJP-RSS, its just that they won’t let us unite.
TV channels put peoples mind in a Trance of BJP-RSS bhakti and poison of hate for others. This Trance has to be broken.
I know 20 channels on YouTube who are doing the task of showing real threat of BJP. But on TV box …. Only NDTV vs 20 fierce pro-BJP TV anchors.
So you are saying Modi is selling a vision, a vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat. Why are people buying this vision? Have they critically examined it? Or thy buy anything that is on sale? You have a big problem ignorant, politically immature people buying any nonsense. Like Modi, Trump is still a very popular leader in America, even after his humiliating defeat! 74 million voters, second highest ever, voted for this defeated president, a traitor to his own country! Why would even ONE sensible voter would vote for such a man? BUT VERY CLOSE TO 50% VOTERS VOTED FOR HIM! AGAIN, IGNORANT, POLITICALLY IMMATURE VOTERS! The experiment of democracy has failed. Even today the Department of Homeland Security in the US has issued a nationwide terror alert: “WASHINGTON: The US Department of Homeland Security declared a nationwide terrorism alert Wednesday, citing the potential threat from domestic anti-government extremists opposed to Joe Biden as president.” The new president Biden has almost an impossible job of uniting the country. WHY ALL THIS? BECAUSE, LIKE MODI, TRUMP SOLD A VISION TO TH PEOPLE THAT DEMOCRATS WOULD TAKE THE COUNTRY TO HELL, AND THE STUPID, IGNORANT, IMMATURE P[EOLE BOUGHT THAT VISION! What is happening in America can also happen in India, if the electorate keeps buying every nonsense that is thrown at it.
An outstanding comment Mr Rohit Desai ! And a truly perspicacious comparative analysis of the deadly and deeply disturbing demagogue phenomenon roiling both Indian and the US. Sadly, men like Modi, Trump, Hungary’s Viktor Orban, Turkey’s Erdogan, Poland’s Kaczynski, Brazil’s Bolonaro and so on continue to hoodwink the masses by appealing to simple identity politics, nationalism or by stoking up prejudice.
Thus, Donald Trump secured votes from poor white people in poverty stricken West Virginia by promising them a bright future whilst at the same time openly advocating the removal of Obamacare. Indeed, I recollect a BBC interview with a sick coal miner and his equally sick wife. Both had monthly medical expenses of upwards of USD 11,000 which were covered by Obamacare such that they had to pay nothing. Yet, they voted for Donald Trump who pledged to repeal Obamacare ! Likewise, Trump incited a mob of mostly working class white Americans to storm the Capitol building but then quickly dumped them when he realised the adverse impact of that riot on his own future. Facing prosecution now, the many useful idiots who participated in that deadly assault are now thoroughly disappointed that Trump did not pardon them ! Clearly, in the US, appeals to white supremacy, Christianity, unfounded fears of immigration, Muslims, Mexicans and coloured people in general got Trump votes. Even though he was no saviour of the US working class and in all likelihood a traitor who danced to Putin’s tunes. And yet, as you point out, nearly 50% of American voted for this uncouth, corrupt and un-Christian political dilettante and charlatan !
The American satirist H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) predicted this state of affairs in the US. As he once said of Americans:
“As democracy is perfected, the office of President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
” !!!
Mencken’s prophecy came true.
PM Modi is not very different from Trump when it comes to demagoguery as opposed to actual delivery. Like Trump, he too appeals to the Hindu identity using the divisive, dangerous and deadly ideology of Hindutva and to stokes Hindu prejudices against Muslims, Christians and now even Sikhs. The economy of the country was in doldrums even before the COVID crisis; the bureaucracy is slowly being emptied of professionals and replaced by Hindutva friendly apparatchiks and BJP yes-men; crony capitalism under Modi is far worse than what it has been under the UPA; communal violence simmers; the press is gagged; comedians get arrested; Godse is worshippeda and Gandhi is vilified. On the external front, India’s soft power advantages abroad have been thoroughly squandered. Worse still, by engaging in the utterly idiotic Howdy Modi circus in Houston and promoting Trump “Ab ki baar Trump ki sarkar” nonsense, Modi’s amateurish stunts have come to zero with the election of Biden & Harris. Worse still, BJP trolls have vilified Kamala Harris and consider her to be a traitor to Indian causes !!
And then, one must not forget the fact that the Chinese are slowly nibbling away Indian territory – although the BJP would rather not talk about that.
But none of these facts on the ground will deter the middle class, Modi devotee from voting for the Messiah again and again even though the middle class gets poorer by the day and the Amabanis and Adanis get richer by the day.
Going back to satirist H.L.Mencken who wisely sums up demagogues like Trump & Modi in his quote:
“The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.”
in fact opposition is not lead by a competent guy, congress party remained a family enterprises, at least writer must agree with Modi ji on dynast ruined the country imagine if dynasty have been in cricket only Gavaskar or Kapil dev kids been opening or captaining indian cricket team, MSD, VIrat, Rohit and other just been serving as drink boy to the ground.
Abey gadhe, (sorry, but pyaar wala hai, itni si baat samj me nahi aati tum logo ko) he is popular even with economic downturn because Nationalist Indian know that he is trying his level best. when you guys were mocking for thali bajao etc. initiative and making fun of Indian civilization, it was seen by common people as an act to rally together. Ask your chief editor how his own prejudiced eyes did not let him see 2019.
Get over your blind spot caused by your hatred of Narender Modi (or your ferver to bring Congress to power i.e Rahul Gandhi who despite your insistent advice, sometimes packaged as an instruction book like a recipe, has failed to mend his ways).
That a mule would never win against a racehorse in any race is not that hard to comprehend.
is it not Mr Vij?
