Across The Aisle: The familiar sound of the drumsSubscriber Only
December 02, 2018 01:40 IST
It is the market that first called out the Prime Minister and his government. Markets do not like crude disruptions such as demonetisation. Apart from the enormous pain and suffering that it imposed on millions of people and businesses, demonetisation caused grave uncertainty, and markets dislike uncertainty and unpredictability in government’s policy actions.

Across the aisle: Another institution is fallingSubscriber Only
November 25, 2018 01:00 IST
I am in favour of some tension between the government and the Governor. However, I strongly disapprove of government-appointed directors deciding issues that fall within the jurisdiction of the central bank/Governor.

Across the Aisle: The day of reckoningSubscriber Only
November 18, 2018 01:01 IST
The sensible course for the government and the RBI is to put aside the issue of reserves and focus on the immediate concerns.

November 11, 2018 00:16 IST
As long as Sardar Patel lived, he did not forgive the fanatics who killed Mahatma Gandhi (as Home Minister he had banned the RSS for 17 months), but both the RSS and the BJP have found it expedient to forget that chapter of history.

Across the Aisle: Power lies in non-useSubscriber Only
November 04, 2018 00:41 IST
The government’s initial concern was only about interest rates but, on that issue, Dr Urjit Patel was on a strong wicket — he had the support of the Monetary Policy Committee. Soon, the government realised that interest rate was not the only ‘hurdle to growth’; other fault lines had emerged

Across the Aisle: Things fall apart; the Centre cannot holdSubscriber Only
October 28, 2018 00:30 IST
There is an old saying ‘Misfortunes don’t come singly’. It seems that the gods are not smiling on the Indian economy.

We have failed our childrenSubscriber Only

While ‘Right to Education’ vastly expanded enrolment of children, not enough attention was paid to the quality of the schools, the teachers and the instruction.

Across the aisle: In J&K, the road to disasterSubscriber Only
October 14, 2018 01:24 IST
J&K is polarised as never before. Jammu is at odds with the Kashmir Valley, Leh leans towards Jammu and Kargil leans towards the Valley, but both Leh and Kargil also assert their identities.

Was the Defence Minister telling the truth when she said that she was not aware if Dassault had chosen a private sector company as the offset partner?

The NDA tried to sell the false notion that if a person could not identify himself the person would not have an identity.

Five steps to NirvanaSubscriber Only
September 23, 2018 00:10 IST
External events are impacting the Indian economy. The government is unwilling to alter or calibrate its positions on the projected growth rate, government expenditure, NPA resolution, and tax enforcement. The government seems to believe that it can tide over the crisis by further muddying the muddied waters!

A big ask in election yearSubscriber Only
September 16, 2018 01:10 IST
The consequence is that the government revenue has become oil-dependent, government is loath to give up easy revenues, and there is mounting anger among the people as prices of petrol, diesel and LPG soar every day.

Across the Aisle: Black to white magicSubscriber Only
September 09, 2018 01:29 IST
RBI had done no study or preparatory work; yet the Central Board of RBI hurriedly met on November 8, without an agenda and without a background note, and dutifully “recommended” that the notes may be declared no longer legal tender.

Across the Aisle: Jobs- The make or break issueSubscriber Only
September 02, 2018 00:05 IST
The reality is that a loan of Rs 47,268 is not sufficient to create a job. That amount may be enough to buy some tools or furniture or install an air conditioner or a refrigerator. It may be used as additional working capital. By no stretch of imagination will Rs 47,268 create an additional job.

August 26, 2018 04:00 IST
The first year was promising and the second year too started well. The first major blunder was demonetisation on November 8, 2016. This was followed by other blunders — flawed and hurried implementation of GST and tax terrorism.

August 19, 2018 00:33 IST
To most of his party colleagues and the RSS, he was the right man to lead the ‘right’ party. To many belonging to other parties, he was the right man in the wrong party!

First anarchy, now autarkySubscriber Only
August 12, 2018 00:05 IST
Autarky will never be dead and buried six fathoms deep. It has a way of rearing its head from time to time, and that is what seems to be happening now under the BJP-led NDA government.

Across the aisle: Engaging with Mr Imran KhanSubscriber Only
August 05, 2018 01:02 IST
Mr Imran Khan has said that if India will take one step forward, he will be prepared to take two steps forward. That may simply be posturing on the eve of being sworn in as Prime Minister, but nothing will be lost if we take Mr Khan at his word and appeal to him to deliver on his words

Both Najeeb Jung and Anil Baijal knew exactly what they were doing as Delhi L-G , yet if they did act in a peculiar manner, it was not because of ignorance but because of subservience.

Across the aisle: Calculate price of a trade warSubscriber Only
July 01, 2018 00:05 IST
It is in India’s interests to be one of the adults in the room and stand up for an open trade order. True, India is not the US or China but is big enough to count... What the world requires is a coalition of sensible countries that will anchor world trade while a few countries disrupt world trade.
