Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
Very illuminating article. Corroborates with Shekar Gupta‘a CTC posted a few days back, comparing Bohra’s profound agriculture and Punjab’s regression. The anger of the Punjabi farmers is justified but is directed at the wrong person and government. They should hold Badals and Amerinder Singh accountable for their increasing poverty.
Our problem isn’t poverty like other states. But corruption. For that mainly BJP+SAD is responsible.
Very insightful article Shamika Ravi Madam. Today Punjab is suffering with decline in agriculture due to their unsustainable Agriculture with highest use of Fertilizers. Then most of the Youth doesn’t want to do any hard work. They just want to establish superiority in terms of Non Essential Goods & lot of Pomp & Show to others.
In Punjab Communist Unions have strong hold in Rural Areas and they have made the sufficient damage to the employment & Industries as they did in West Bengal. Due to vast interests no Leader in Punjab wants to help Farmers to understand bills better and Upliftment of Small Farmers. They are struck in the claws of Powerful FPO and Big Zameendars.
How much intelligent you guys are Communists Punjab lol!
BJP+SAD are in power from long time. You guys aren’t even gonna to blame the government.
You can’t blame communists in Punjab. They never made government in Punjab. Government of Punjab, especially SAD+BJP is responsible.
It’s that simple!

Believe me, it’s not that simple matter.
they don’t need any government to go through the laws instead they need reforms which are sustainable for everyone not only for their friends ,corporations
2 weeks ago, Shekar Gupta had written about how Punjab loves a fight. I had commented about that article in similar veins of this article after I did some research. Punjab was lower in GDP than Bihar with lot more water resources. Industrialization was low and high reliance on agriculture. I also mentioned about Punjabis immigrating to anywhere in India and the world where ever they are allowed. Seeing the farmer’s agitation chiefly arising from Punjab I guessed, corporate investments could suffer here. This author has brought out a lot of data points in support of why Punjab needs a fully thought out solution, not just 3 agri bills. We need constructively critiquing authors like her, every where. some day people will realize. Imagine if every news site in India carried an article like this….some one would take notice and take steps in right direction
Dear The Print,
Given the health crisis the world faces today. Could u request Shamika ji to write a series on health sector ( past, present and future). Also specifically how to make it like the one in EU( if its a gold std
Kyunki, vaccine aane ke baad ,iske bare me sab bhool jayengi
Another reason why Punjab is falling behind big time is its youth will not work hard on fields or factories but will immigrate illegally/legally to Canada/UK and drive cabs /trucks there. Punjabis find driving cabs in Canada to be superior to studying or working hard in India.
As long as fetish for Kanedda remains Punjabi youth will end up what they are doing so far – driving cabs. trucks, washing vehicles, and playing loud monochrome obnoxious music.
Harsh Reality of Punjab Today. But interest of Akalis and Mandi’s Strong Middlemen and Big Jameendars are hampering all the progress and returns.
They are trying to make it a religious issue throughout the Punjab
can u say india is uptouching the hills and the vary of its states, just think of it not to take a single state , make a habit of asking governments or at least appropriate comments about our falling constitution, unemployment, crimes , economy , media , freedom of speak
Arguably the finest writer in the pantheon of economic writing in the country. Shamika Ravi has substance in her writing because she brings in data rather than polemical nonsense which has been a hallmark of our high-pedestal Lutyens writers (including an ex RBI governor who reportedly put sex in the sensex).
May Shamika Ravi’s tribe grow manifold, that will be good for our country. I’m just glad when I see smart people still choosing to stay in India rather than going to the US where their talents are better recognized.
Yet another great article by Shamika Ravi ji. I recently read the article by Punjab’s sitting FM. Nothing concrete which can defend the current system and oppose farm reforms. Punjabis too don’t realise this. Any punjabi aware of these realities should demand from the state and centre not subsidies for the blackhole agri which sucks up money but produces very little wealth, but a pay back in the form of more decent non agri opportunities. Just because they were pioneers of green revolution doesn’t mean they need to be stuck in that. India has moved on by leaps. Punjab needs to catch-up. If not, stop blocking delhi and holding India’s reforms to ransom.
people do not want change. they want status quo. nothing will change as the recent protests indicate. of course, dynasty politics also plays its role.
