I think the H&D of Paki army got hurt big time and they could not digest the fact that India could do an attack so deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan could not do anything. Their attempt at hitting back got nowhere and they had to hurry back and return the POW, but to save face and also to show t...

can GE be postponed for say six months..?? That my dear Doctor, is a recipe for disaster. Opposition parties will be up in arms claiming that Modi has declared a dictatorship. The political capital that Modi has from 2014 to date will evaporate like a fart in the wind. The BJP will lose spectacular...

It is very important to understand the difference and credibility of IAF and Pakistani propaganda. Official word of IAF carries lot of credibility and is good for us to believe and understand what happened that day. PAF or the Pakistani side there are going to be too much misinformation and trying t...

In such emotionally charged atmosphere it is difficult to debate. The view points are vastly different - on oneside are economists and others who believe state should facilitate economic growth to improve the lives of people and on otherside are people who are OK with deliberately creating and enfo...

So your only point is - government said something that they want to achieve on the night of declaring demonitization and they failed to achieve it. They may have said 101 things after that but you just don't care. Also you just don't care the changes it has made, mindset changes it has made, higher...

If you follow Gurumurthy's latest speech (available on youtube), you will see that he said the economy would have collapsed if not for demo; but the argument - at least my understanding of it - was not because of gold and real estate, rather that demo essentially recapitalized bank deposits, and ba...

But much of that money has come in and is being taxed, if you had gone through the posts Direct Tax collections in 2015-16 which were 7.4 Lac crore jumped to 10.05 Lac crore in the 2017-18 Re and Indirect Tax collections without customs has jumped to 8.06 lac crore in 2017-18 RE from 5.04 crore in ...

Venkat, what do you mean by effected by demonization. What kind of effects you are seeking and the absence of which means that demonization failed. Once we have a clear understanding of the frame of reference. We can have a discussion. Else at best you are talking past the other members. At worst y...

venkat_r

Venkat_r, question is, what is that you wanted out of demonitization? Did you expect all the people will declare their black money and all the corrupt will go to jail? I think you wanted only politicians to go to jail but if you think you want justice then every one one of us - including low and mi...

Where is Dr. Manmohan Singh's speech on Coal scam or CWG scam or many such economic events under his PMship? If he claims to be fair and balanced he should start from his own period.

Supratik, have to respectfully disagree as it is not trolling nor is it my intention - may be I have not looked hard enough, but did not find anything that says that black money has been taken care of or the fake notes have been handled. If you have please post on these and educate me, willing to le...

venkat_r

Plenty. Look at the increase in tax payers, tax collections and digital payments. Any increase in them automatically leads to a decrease in black money. If you want to bolster your case here, at least stop trolling here with idiots like Dhruv Rathee and The Wire. At least I posted some links to beg...

Seems like most people have not read enough about the demonetization, and spending lot of cycles on how to do it again or to determine how it was good. Would highly suggest to read up some basics from Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Indian_banknote_demonetisation The basic premise of ...

Glad the clean up was done - thanks Arshyam, my point was not to lesson anyone as a person was a cahiwallh, but economy especially the one for the country is a complex subject and if someone got it right then it still has to be applauded But unfortunately in my opinion that is not the case, as none ...

Oh so finally you were able to pick one small piece like prices comparison from 2018 and 2008 and want to dismiss that, and by the way I have not asked you to watch his statue video but to watch the demonstration one, as this thread is for that. Nice way to discredit people who have an opinion that ...

This is a big video - interview of Arun Shourie, so not a Vatican source. Even if you do not like him, I would say watch that, and his analysis on the economy.

Watch the first 30 minutes - it is pretty informative.

venkat_r

Well do not get frustrated that he is not towing your line, and if you have anything that disputes his argument, please put that forward If you are disgusted, with that it either means that he is so totally off base or that has touched a raw nerve, all I would say is give it time and keep an open mi...

So what’s wrong if the Supreme Court is questioning it? In my opinion it is pretty good and things are going to be out in the open. Too much fear mongering and speculation going on here - Supreme Court would be interested if the due process was followed and if it was done by GOI then that would end ...

Easy to discount everyone, economists like Raghuram Rajan and co. And assume that Modi got it right, can we be a bit open minded to understand rather than dismiss who gives a good argument with proofs

If there was ever a need for establishing multiple assembly lines, it is for the Tejas - they should set up 3 different lines, govt should spend to have HAL convert the existing lines to produce Tejas and produce 4-5 per year first and increase that to be 6-8 per year.

Important thing that I got from that report is that they are planning a technology demonstrator in 2025 and the replacements in 2040 - kind of gives the timeline of one of the best company in Aviation, we should have similar expectations from AMCA and HAL at best, and give more time for the company ...

To call it a success, want to understand why it was done and if that was achieved. It was announced to remove BM, was that done ? Shifting the goal post and adding different spins makes me suspicious. Let's use this metric. There are two specific logical requirements: * Why was it done ? * What was...

You bring absolutely no facts, apart from random conjecture, to determine whether it is a success or not. And then you call it a "circus". Why ? How are you so sure that it has failed, when the government and the RBI are still working on it ? Well though I called it a circus, I am not sur...
