Conceptualised in 2009 & foundation stone laid in 2012, Gujarat International Finance Tec (Gift) city remains a patchwork of state-of-the-art facilities & under-construction centres.
Peter Manuel's ‘Cassette Culture’ showed the booming Bhakti music during the '80s and '90s when Anoop Jalota, Gulshan Kumar achieved success by singing the sanitised Bhajans.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
That is a cheap shot, a back handed slap of a decade of incompetent governance of the current PM . What does it have to do today in the midst of a pandemic? During the election it was all ra ra for a Right wing PM getting reelected for another 5 years!! To his voters, Hindutva matters more than another promise. For his Bhaktas even a big promise is unique and is worthy of a vote. No one affected in a win-win deal. What does it matter to the useless rest???
Considering the actual work started only after 2014, and the level where India’s regulatory authority currently are, GIFT has actually made quite some astounding progress. It takes decades to build a Financial capital like Singapore and Hong Kong. Right now, the city’s goal seems to be to build good infrastructure, that lasts for a long time, and from what I’ve seen and read, it’s going good. Give it 4-5 years, let the Effects of pandemic wear off and maybe then an actual analysis could be done. It’s too early rn.
Some of the stuff written over here about the infrastructure is already outdated.
at least something being built and not all money spent on freebies, scams, loot, corruption, dynasty
