With his govt's different approach to Kashmir, a spirit of "one nation, one constitution" has become reality, said PM Modi while giving his Independence Day speech at Red Fort.
Modi's speeches over last 5 years covered govt plans and achievements — from Swacch Bharat and Jan Dhan Yojana to Kashmir outreach and surgical strikes.
From his first Red Fort look to today, Modi has been front, centre and flashy. Here’s a look at the most anticipated part of his swatantrata stylebook.
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.
Modi should do this, Modi should do that i.e. Modi should do Everything. This is what Congressees tell people. However, they themselves wouldn’t do anything except lecturing . People are smart and they are with the doer and not with the ranter.
India being unique in lot of social/religious/culturally/demographically does have unique economic situation not compared to any other: for instance for GDP content only 10-15% is corporate contribution among others while non corporate players’ contribution which cannot be put under organised/unorganized sectors is ruled out every year. Having recognized the Indian situation, I do not think that Indian Polity really treat Indian economy in conventional line of treatment. Ingenuity is the need of the hour, money to govt coffers need not go through taxes or any other conventional terms, there are other means which economic planners need to trash it out. Economists who have their hands dirt dealing wit the nuances of Indian economy and understand it well, Not pragmatic to look back to past always !!!

Well written piece, but you are talking to a population that is covering in fear of an imminent Pak attack sold to them by Modi. They really have no understanding of the economy and are used to tightening the belt when things get rough. They are told that all their troubles are due to Nehru and Congress and Modi will take them out of their misery. They still believe him because he says he should be given 60 years like they gave the Congress. It is a tough situation. Once the shit hits the ceiling in terms of economic collapse, Modi will have another dream to sell.
Fascists like you who think you are intellectually superior and we are dumb people fetch more votes for BJP/ Modi. Your arrogance that you are very smart and Modi voter is dumb what ensured 300+ seats.
One remains a little sceptical about the phrase Jobless growth. Each major invention since the Industrial Revolution has evoked fears that jobs would be lost to machines, but employment has grown continuously. Consider the case of the US, a post industrial society, mainly services now, adding a couple of hundred thousand jobs each month, with growth in the 2 – 3 % range. Had India been growing at 6 – 7%, if not higher, as claimed, millions of jobs would have been getting created each year, not necessarily in the formal sector. God – and the CIA station chief in Delhi – knows our true rate of growth. If we took care of that, employment would not have been in such dismal shape.
Well written and lot of valid points, but can the opposition take these talking points forward to the general population in an effective manner? Merely writing a couple of such articles may not help carry the oppositions message to the public.

Your track record has been analysed by people and they passed their judgement in May. So get your act together and grow up.
