The term “Indian economy” refers to the economic system of India, which is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the world. Ranked as the fifth-largest by nominal GDP, India is an emerging economic powerhouse with a diverse economic structure. As a developing country, India follows a mixed economy model, incorporating both public and private sector elements. While the government plays a significant role in regulating and overseeing essential sectors like defense, infrastructure, and transportation, it also encourages private enterprise and foreign investment to drive growth in other industries.
Historically, India’s economy was predominantly agrarian, with a large portion of the population engaged in agriculture. However, over the past few decades, the country has undergone significant economic transformations. This change was marked by the liberalization of the economy in the 1990s, which opened up markets, reduced trade barriers, and attracted foreign direct investment (FDI). These reforms played a key role in integrating India into the global economy and propelled growth in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, and services.
The services sector, particularly information technology (IT), telecommunications, and business process outsourcing (BPO), has emerged as a cornerstone of the Indian economy. In parallel, India’s industrial base has also expanded, with key areas like automobile manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and steel production contributing to its development. This growth is further fueled by India’s large and growing domestic market, driven by an expanding middle class, rapid urbanization, and a young labor force.
India’s trade relations have evolved over the years, with significant partnerships formed with countries such as the United States, the European Union, and China. However, India faces a growing trade imbalance with China, importing more than it exports. Additionally, the depreciation of the Indian rupee has led to challenges like inflation and rising import costs.
What a paid journalism. Good, carry on zainab sikandar and Theprint. Good luck
These are all bullshit stories written by so called writers who are paid with corruption monies. Otherwise no sane person will write such idiotic articles.
If wishes were horses. My heart goes out to Zainab Sikander. She has been given the task of propping a cadaver. Honestly, nor many outside Karnataka know Shivkumar and those in Karnataka know what type of a politician he is. Chidambaram’s bail application has been rejected by the Supreme court. For him the comment made by the Congress party spokesperson ‘ Truth will prevail ultimately’ seems prophetic.
The author is totally ignorant of Karnataka politics, ground realities are different here, Congress party is in shambles, dks case is not just a corruption, he has earned more enemies the ham his admirers, the admirers are a minority with money and muscle, the majority are innocent and silent.
Few paid goondas create some ruckus on the streets and paid meds gives coverage to the same and the author thinks the mojo is back. What non sense. Wait for these leaders to be proved culprits and sent to jail to give company to lalu and then you write about the mojo.
This is a propaganda article masquerading as “News”. Another fake news article designed to rouse sympathy for criminals. When will our citizenry realize it is pointless to protest against putting corrupt people in jail. Pathetic.
Zainab Sikander is at it again! She’s riding her magical Unicorn, whipping up a non-existent ‘mojo’ against an perceived enemy of her cult.
When she hollers, “Side-effect of Shivakumar and Chidambaram’s arrest: Congress gets its mojo back”, isn’t she assuming that Congress once had something of a mojo in the past. Let’s recall who had such a magnificent charisma to inspire such a magical charm in the party and its followers in the recent decades.
Is she talking about the time-server, the dame-luck smiled on a lame-duck, the greatest fiasco of a PM, Manmohan Singh? No, it can’t be! He sure is a loyalist to the powers-that-be, but he is not a charmer, not even a conversationalist. Then, is she referring to Pamulaparti Venkata Narasimha Rao? He did led India from an economic disaster, but a Congress leader described Rao as someone having the charisma of a “dead fish”. He was scape-goated and disowned by his own party, even in his death. Maybe, it’s the five-finger discount Rajiv Gandhi, who pocketed ill-gotten wealth in his Swiss bank accounts. He rose to power on his mother’s ashes and people’s sympathy, not exactly a case for personal mojo. Is it the accidental inheritor and protector of the grand old party, Sonia or the immature Pappu, who thinks mommy owns the country. Neither are: the Congress under their leadership was routed like never before and even lost the status of an opposition party in recent elections. Pappu even lost his family heirloom, Amethi. The Congress never had a mojo in the first place! So, What is Zainab Sikander blabbering about?
If throwing of two low-lives in jail for their corruption is somehow going to inspire and resurrect the mojo of a faltering party, it sure is in a deep dark hole. Maybe next, Gandhis and the rest of the old-guard needs to be thrown in prison too, so as to just see whether it revives the party or not! Then, Zainab Sikander can read from her magical ‘mojo meter’ and spin some wonderful tall tales.
Or this story was never about Congress. Is this whole story about Zainab Sikander’s mojo? Is she projecting?
You have not established how it is that investigating corruption equates to vendetta politics.
Waah, auntyji, waah, kya logic hai! If you prosecute big multi-multi-crorepati netas with grievous corruption allegations, they become the underdog and hence more popular… It’s ok to be biased and stupid; but to assume everyone else is also the same, is arrogance.
Congress will never be over. Congress is as old as India. The heart of the freedom fighters are in the Congress. The BJP is medieval, regressive and aggressive for a country as diverse as India which is one of the oldest democracies in the world. BJP will linger on but their own negativity will be their downfall
If Chidambaram could have been Sincere…. During his ministerial responsibilities………. Then Why there is the hell of economic Problems including unemployment and falling Dow in various Indian business within in-house and also foreign.
When all you have is a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail.
The analysis , one knew , where it was leading , on whose side ‘ muqqadar and sikandar’ are.
Is’ nt it a bit naive to think that caged predators would bark at their masters. The pertinent point here is how many erstwhile leaders of GOP have gone to jail in the last 50 years.
Fourth pillers are ruled by crooks who turn to the side like hypocrats favoring Congress. This is particularly with Quint, caravan, toilet paper of India etc. Oppose government constructively but not by equating with Congress missrules. It’s common sense. We lost trust on fourth pillers of democracy with this biased article.
Everything in this article is sheer ‘Wishful thinking’ and imagination. Congress is in the worst of the situations it ever faced. There is neither any ‘mojo’ nor any enthusiasm. If the writer only cares to read reports of how ONLY 120 persons attended a public “Protest’ meet against the arrest of PC in Chennai, which the TNCC President led, and how 65 of them (including said President) took to their heels the moment Police arrived, she may like to withdraw this fiction.
Loughable reporting. There is no such fallout as reported. Trying to justify crimes…. Shame….
Regardless of how well the Congress capitalises on the economic slowdown to rebuild its standing with the people, this is now a rampaging herd of elephants in the room that the incumbent will have to deal with. 99% of Indians are hurting. Distractions, PR, nothing will work.
The taste is in pudding. If election were held today, Modi would win RESOUNDINGLY! The voters would still eletc the likes of Pragya Thakur Sing with huge margins!of lakhs of votes! Like a patient not responding to medical treatment, India is not responding to democracy! Dumb voters!
For Zainab it is OK for political parties, ruling and opposition, allied and play friendly games on corruption and no one is caught. Together they can loot and fool the people and that is OK. It is true, no govt has gone to the extent of catching the real culprit and looters and punish them. Earlier the policy was… you scratch my back and I will do for you.
Whenever any politician arrested for any crime he starts lamenting about vendeta politics. Even Lalu even after get conviction in jail yet he says same thing. Media give hype to it but same media when talk about corruption blames govt for in action against big short. Now in this story there is nothing about offence nor even any politician ever gave account of his amassed wealth in quick time when same congress talks about poor ecnomy. Then how their wealth increase what buisness they which yields so much wealth. Can reporter or accused tell the nation who are behind this paid news
This is a well written article. Unfortunately, in India’s polity now there is no strong opposition party. By “strong opposition party”, I don’t mean high decibel screaming, but constructive criticism of the Modi government’s claims. Rahul Gandhi”s twitter comment “congratulations on 100 days of no growth”, hardly enlightens the public on the failures of Modi government, if any. One must appreciate that bureaucracy, and investigation agencies are same irrespective of the change in ruling party at the top. If ED officers behaved heartlessly with DK Shivakumar, so have they and CBI done in the past when they were controlled by UPA. The problem is with the agencies which are willing handmaiden of the ruling party. This attitude is not going to change in near future.
Congress is almost Finished . Its Corruptions are also coming out.
I guess the writer is a congress spokesperson because only they can be delusional to this extent that they feel their leaders arrest got their mojo back! Good luck congress!
