Understanding who 'real Modi' is an issue since PM made some 'strange' decisions, said economy expert Martin Wolf in conversation with ThePrint’s Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta.
Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times was the guest at ThePrint's Off the Cuff. Wolf talked about how the Indian economy has...
Despite growing passenger volume, 11 out of 14 carriers reported losses in 2023-24. IndiGo recorded profit of Rs 8,167 crore, which reduced to Rs 7.253 crore in 2024-25.
Dubai airshow crash & pilot death have rekindled concerns over pilot safety, and need for smarter automated systems that can step in when G-forces, temporary loss of consciousness hit the pilot.
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
Wolf pointed out all India’s obvious problems everyone knows. But what’s the solution, which he dared not said but hinting Modi team has no experts, and its conflicting security vs economy policy with China.
Embracing of US will spell disaster for India, fighting China to last Indian, paid in rupees.
India will be cultivated like farm with chemical fertilizer, pesticides & GMO, to be harvested by West capitalists until barren. Ask debt laden Latin America that is once wealthy until West capitalists creep up their shores with usury loans-investments.
We have been hearing this from time immemorial. but when are we going to implement the right policies. All political parties in India are still in a socialistic frame of mind. They want the maximum control by the State.
You claim to be a senior journalist of importance. But I have gathered the impression that you are a sick journalist of no consequence. Inspite of all the excesses committed on journalistic freedom in Maharashtra you have chosen to keep your lips sealed. Is there some sort of caste equation in the journalistic fraternity where some are untouchables?
The problem with these analyses is that these foreigners do not know the realities of India. The economic problems of India are only a part of India’s bigger challenges. The central challenge is to counter the breaking India forces that have been given a free run for 70+ years by the fascist congressi-communist forces – sometimes unknowingly and most of the times knowingly. These foreign “economists” do not know or do not care about the existential threats that the congi-commy fascists pose to India’s survival as a nation. The economic challenge pales in comparison.
Yet jumping into bed and embracing white US is welcomed and fine?
My heart tells me Self reliance – unpronounceable in Sanskrit – is just a phrase to be marketed. It lacks deep intellectual content, has not been thought through. Make in India too has fizzled out, but it was a worthwhile idea. Boosting the share on industry in GDP from 16 to 25 % was a national mission that ought to have been pursued, with benefits for employment and experts. As with the assertion that there have been no intrusions, Aatma Nirbharta is something the mandarins and others will tie themselves in knots trying to reconcile with the economic policies everyone understands are good / needed for India.

Stop growing vegetables in your terrace garden. Right?

Days of seeking a white man’s advice in Indian affairs is long over.
