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.
For me the problem is very simple… india has far to many farmer with very less amount of land, if we consider it to be an industry you are not creating producing products in scale ( I mean individual land owner) it is natural that their costs are higher and profits less.
Every policy that gov’s (any gov) makes should be to move ppl out of farming, remember agri products have inflationary effect, with any changes to the price of these produces. Policies to remove middle man by introducing giant wholesalers directly dealing with the farmer (again by creating farmers with big pool of land) with cold storages. If you want to fix this issue in short term you will always cause bigger problems in the long terms. simple example is our banking system, loans where given out freely to industry during the recession which are now being declared as NPA.
Any sort of loan waivers to anyone(with no exceptions) will be like pumping money in Air India, money never comes back nor the company gets better. because the issue is systemic, when the gov’s are put under such kind of pressure they will always plan for the next election and commit all sort of waivers on which I have already mentions my views.
Being OK with communists hijacking the cause of farmers is an extension of liberal ignorance.
Such a brilliant and much-needed perspective. So rare to find such gems amidst the cacophony. Thank you.
Thank you writing this. Brilliantly put. Lal Salaam.
