"Brazil is the country of the future -- and always will be" once defined the country’s inability to realise its potential. India must not attract a similar tag.
Gandhi Smriti is a memorial for a man for whom simplicity was a religion, let his story be told simply. Restore Cartier-Bresson’s photographs, they show facts.
Modi government is taking a risk by concluding that India has the heft to disregard opinions of friendly countries and make enemies out of parties not in power.
To help India become a $5-trillion economy, the National Infrastructure Pipeline has been unveiled. But the big constraint is money willing to be locked up for years.
More than 60 per cent of the suits remain pending after two years of having been filed, and this proportion is agnostic to whether the suit is a commercial or ordinary suit.
New CPI series will take 2024 as base year, will provide more accurate measure of inflation, spending on digital services. Expected to enhance representation and reliability, says Saurabh Garg.
The agreement, signed after meeting between Rajnath and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on sidelines of ADMM-Plus in Kuala Lumpur, aims to deepen bilateral ties in the critical sector.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Countries for which India is just a huge potential market are worried only about India’s economy. But, India itself has many concerns besides Economy, such as education, health care, building better infrastructure, not to speak of internal and external security, which is always the uppermost concern when we have a friendly neighbour like Pakistan and looming threat of China. Lack of lending by banks is due to misconduct of businesses in defaulting to repay the borrowed money. India is in the process of cleaning up its financial systems. There is good ground for being optimistic about India’s future, given its vast natural and human resources.
Librandus have never liked Modi even when he was a CM. In librandus world view only they should rule and no other view point can be better than their own. All this adds to illiberal attitude but they are still called liberals. The LIBERAL label has become like a dynast in politics or an Indian Secular. For example a communal Shivasena suddenly becomes secular as soon as it share power with the secular club. Similarly most communal would become secular as soon as he/she joins a secular club. Secular and liberal are now reduced to club membership labels and nother more than that.
Your rant would have made sense if you acknowledged Modi’s pitfalls. He has literally done nothing except spread hate against other groups. Its because of this hate and fear that Liberals believe he should not rule. His supporters live in victim mentality. A Muslim questions him on corruption, and you guys target his religion. That is the problem!
Modi has done nothing? I live in Belgium and everyone here is praising Modi’s ability to make hard decisions and not take the easy way out. Modi has the approval of every country in the world.
Shikhar the problem is when You refuse to acknowledge any narrative except Your own. An incumbent PM, wins a larger vote share & increases his seat tally. That is ignored by people like Yourself by burying your head in sand. Some from yourfraternity start crying about EVM’s, some say Modi won because he ‘polarised’ the elections. Is this kind of behaviour better than that of an ostrich? Please watch a post election analysis by none other than Shekhar gupta in which even he was forced to admit the reach of Modi’s social security schemes.. So even though you are sriving with your eyes closed, JAN Dhan, Ayushman bharatm Saubhagya, mudra loans, clean india mission and many more schemes have made a difference in the life of the common man. Perhaps you cant understand that because the so called liberal intelligentia, as they call themselves, have been completely cut off from the ground like their leader the prince rahul. one last comment my friend – do read the comment by Mr Dev once again above! Nowhere he mentioned anything about the religion of the author! Not once. Still, without even reading his viewpoint, you accused him of targeting the authors religion. Its very sad, and reflects the disease in the liberal fanatic community of India. What we say is right – if you dont agree you are uncouths & illeterates. Very very sad.
The propaganists have zeroed in on “India’s image in West” as a tool they think manipulates Indian thinking. Yes, urban english-speaking Indians yearn for Western approval. But they’re not enough to make a political difference.
This man, a nothing and nobody, joins the list of such writers who repeatedly get space in Indian media.
The author forgets to mention the Economist opined in 2014 that if it had a vote, it would vote for the Congress Party and heralded Rahul Gandhi as PM in waiting. Sadly for this arbiter of western liberal thought, wether this Govt lasts or not, Indian voters continue to quite vocal in their distaste for continuing the Gandhi Political Dynasty. The Author perfectly right to point out, India is punching well below her potential. However, this is an economic challenge to be directed with genuinely bold reforms of the inefficient socialist system of the Indian State. Kashmir is inseparable from India and Western ideas are best kept within their own borders on the subject.
You dedicated 80% of the article to tell about left and democrat point of view and when it comes to republicans and conservatives you have just stated economic performance !!! I feel thats too shallow a view.
if you have a look at historic GDP growth numbers we know every few years Indian Economy throws a spanner into the works and we eventually self correct. If BJP govt is so bad for the economy can you explain 7.7 % average growth during first 4 years ?
When you roll a ball on a suface and then try to stop it , it does not stop immediately it takes time.
That’s the same with economy.

he is actually referring to what maunmohan singh did when he brough grwoth rate from 8.4% to 4.8%
ONE TAKES THE GDP FIGURES PUT OUT -AFTER REPEATED UPWARD REVISIONS- BY THE GOVERNMENT WITH A PINCH OF SALT . EVEN RECENTLY FIGURES FOR 2019 (18-19) HAVE BEEN REVISED FROM 6.8% TO 6.1% . ON THIS ONE MUST PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT ARVIND SUBRAMANIAN , THE FORMER EA TO THE MODI GOVERNMENT , HAD TO SAY . SO LONG AS MODI WAS IN THE OPPOSITION THE FIGURES RELEASED NY NSSO WERE SACROSANCT , BUT WHEN IN POWER THE SAME NSSO’S FIGURES HAVE BECOME UNRELIABLE , IF NOT UNTRUSTWORTHY . FUDGING HAS GOT ITS LIMITS , BUT COMES WITH A LOSS OF CREDIBILITY BUILT OVER HALF A CENTURY
The wages of ideology. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru has long been mocked by one set of Indians. The alternative to his Idea of India is now playing out on a 70 mm screen, with Dolby sound. Decide which film is better.
HH is obviously writing this article in the background of likely Trump visit later this month. However, economy is not his usual business and he should worry about his original country, Pakistan rather than India. If USA is today showing less interest in India, it is entirely due to its inability to sell India its defense equipment, stop purchase of S-400 etc, inability to sign FTA and generally lower economic growth in recent years rather than Indian democracy and Kashmir in particular. This is par for the course on both sides. If economic growth has faltered in recent years, Modi has enough capacity to overcome the issues and he is taking sure though not bold steps towards it. The way Modi has completely altered the internal political dynamics in India is unbelievable and perhaps not palatable to many outsiders, particularly liberals and sickulars. Trump is known to be transactional President. Who knows Modi will offer him a deal for Afghanistan tied with return of POK to India which Trump can’t refuse! Who knows Modi will offer original version of Art 370 to Balochistan, Sindh and Gilgit-Baltistan, POK and Indian Kashmir excluding Jammu under the Chinese ‘one nation two systems’ formula? HH should real worry about these wacky ideas from Modi-Shah leading to potential vivisection of Pakistan rather health of Indian economy!

The whole country needs therapy.
