Meghnad’s interest went much beyond economics and politics. This is reflected in his writing, particularly after his retirement as a full-time LSE professor in 2003.
In the latest budget, the FDI limit was increased to 100 percent, but most foreign companies are not buying such large stakes in the Indian insurance sector.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
We most of the Indians are nowadays victims of pseudo-idealism and pseudo-nationalism !
West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC Supremo Mamta Banerjee is not to be blamed for denying
landing permission to helicopters of BJP leaders !
It is the NaMo led BJP that is responsible for creating such a bitter and hostile atmosphere in the nation
intimidating and coerceing the opposition parties to satiate his boundless lust for power for establishing
an authoritarian and totalitarian regime for pretty long a period ! NaMo’s lust for power and megalomania
tempts him to cling to power endlessly !
Charity indeed begins at home ! Is NaMo led BJP not blameworthy for this conflicting and
confrontational aura ? As you sow so shall you reap is a universal and time tested proverb !
How can a parliamentary democracy flourish sans a strong opposition? During almost five
years of NaMo regime there is gross subversion of constitution and undermining of the various
institutions and instruments for hollow and petty political motives ! Has the regime ever tried
for a consensual and collective wisdom approach in league with opposition parties to address the
issues to deliver the goods in larger public interests ?
All the time, the ruling party at the centre has been busy contriving and intriguing ways and means
to downgrade, wipe out and finish opposition !
Does it imply idealism and nationalism ?
Should not all the political out fits of India in the best interests of the nation shun both the
“Chopper Politics “- “Confrontationalist Politics ” and through a consensual approach go in for poll
reforms ? Is the system and polity not at its wits to do away with exorbitant and extravagant election
process ?
Should not we all think over the ways and means in the right ernest and then press the Election Commission of India
to make poll process simpler, ideal, very economical and pro-people as well as pro-nation affair ?

Didi should have a large heart.
MR. ASHOK,
” It takes two hands to clap.”
Has NaMo led BJP too has a large heart ?
Magnanimity, grace, dignity and broadmindedness
are the words nowadays very alien and bizarre in
the era of authoritarianism !
NaMo led BJP only understands one term- very close to
its heart that is clinging to power by hook or crook !
Is it not ?
