Water is becoming the new oil. While China and Pakistan employ it as a tool against India, hydro-diplomacy has scarcely been a major instrument in New Delhi's foreign policy.
Modi will push for his version of state-driven capitalism led by a strong leader. But we know that can't work in a complex, private sector-driven economy like India.
Until now, units operating even in recognised industrial areas needed a separate factory licence. The move is expected to especially give a boost to small and medium enterprises.
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.
Well said and without the stammers of ifs and buts. I, however, see this development somewhat differently:
The establishment in Pakistan will now ( that is to say after the Trump bragging ) garner additional clout resulting in more largesse for itself at the cost of the Pakistani nation. This will drive yet another nail into the Pakistani coffin by the ruination of its finances.
This is akin to choking the cat with cream. But its an option the Indian government must mull over seriously before deciding on a Pakistan decimation policy.
At times a leader must take a tangential, unexpected route. Shock and awe must be responded with shock and awe. For Modi, this could mean calling and addressing a press conference and clarifying India’s stand, while refuting Trump’s claim explicitly. Make statements with reference to Simla agreement, educate his citizens and make them aware of why India is going to be steadfast in its position. It is not just Modi and his MEA who are the stakeholders, the citizens of this country are equally worried about this weird development.

Excellent analysis.
