Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai should be linked first. And complete Del-Mum.

The next phases of the bullet train should be built in southern India and completion of Del-Ahmd, may be Delhi-Amritsar and more spurs. It will be more economically viable as these are the more developed parts of India. Rest of India can come in the phases after that when purchasing power rises cons...

Now that Fadnavis and Shinde have got Dharavi redevelopment project off the ground they should seriously try to solve the MIAL (mumbai airport) slum rehabilitation mess. It is pretty bad that visitors arriving at India's financial capital have to see the airport slums at first sight of India. Rekha ...

What nonsense is going on? I am confused.

Caste datas thus far available through various surveys may be inaccurate. Many land owning castes have been removed from general category by the British. Also there should be a column for more than one caste or multi-caste as inter-caste marriages are now common.

Sikkim and Goa will have developed economy status (nominal) in another 6-8 years. I think the IMF cut-off for nominal is 14500 dollars for developed economies. They are already at 7000-8000 dollars nominal. Next will be HY, TG, next GJ, TN, MH. Bihar will be last. Maybe around 2050. There will be a ...

This is just monthly data which can go up and down. You have to look at yearly data. Yes there are benefits if you become a net exporter from a net importer. Some of them are the following. Save foreign exchange Create domestic jobs Create ancillary and subsidiary companies Multiplier effect on cons...

In addition, they should have RCC fencing along railway tracks near stations to prevent people from accessing platforms through railway tracks. This is a common practice in India.

The small (about 3000 sq kms) Comilla district of Bdesh bordering Tripura has unofficially 0.5 million Hindus.

AFAIK GDP figures are revised 2-3 times to get to final figure.

Very good article by Suraj. Don't be fixated by quarterly or yearly ups and downs in GDP growth rate. Be fixated on the average. Be Rahul Dravid and not Virender Sehwag. We need to keep the average strike rate at 7-8% real GDP growth rate and 10-11% nominal upto 2047. The big bull in the China shop ...

You have to double the count of Hindus. Every Bdeshi Hindu knows that there are close to 30 million Hindus. Their census shows half i.e. about 14 million. You can also extrapolate from the last British census of 1941 of undivided Bengal. Also it is very likely that the Muslim population in India, Pa...

There is significant Hindu population in Rangpur, much less in Rajshahi.

Now that the BJP is in full control of Delhi and NCR as well as central govt there is no more excuse not to turn the region into a world class UA. They need to do these 3 things within the next 10 years 1) Implement Swacch Bharat mission. Except for some posh areas I have not seen another capital re...

Sheikh Hasina is 77. She was able to bring down anti-Hindu violence by 70% but not able to eliminate it. By backing her again you are going to only postpone an inevitable confrontation. It may happen after 5 years, 10 years or 20 years but it will happen. You will end up doing fire-fighting every no...

Cutting fuel prices is a bad idea. We should encourage faster shift to EVs. Hence, the budget promotes EVs. Short term pain, long term gain. Oil imports are a big component of total imports which leads to trade deficit which puts pressure on the rupee i.e. it depreciates. Regarding eletronics which ...

Very good budget. Probably best budget so far by NS. She should look to rationalize the top IT backet (above 50 lakh) in future to encourage wealth generation.

This is not feasible. As soon US Fed carries out more rate cuts, RBI is going to do the same. This means interest on FD is going to go down. People want cash in hand due to rising cost of living. Better to cut net tax and make it more granular. IT is only 20% of total tax. You are going to generate ...

Tax slabs should also change. There is granularity at the bottom 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% but not at the top. It should be something like 20%, 22%, 25%, 27%, 30% with 35-37% maximum. 47% taxation is extortionist. You want HNW people to stay in India and build businesses instead of moving to tax havens.

There is incessant complaint on social media on income tax. Finance ministry should fix this problem. And not wait for middle class revolt or lesser number of seats in election. All you have to do is modify taxation based on growth rate and inflation based on a formula every few years. Given that a ...

I think the 250 kmph Indian train will run on regular tracks. Media may have confused it as bullet train. No point in running a slow train on an expensive fast track. IR plans to gradually increase speeds to 250 kmph. They will most likely eventually go for ballastless, fenced tracks. Minimum quadru...

Just doing the NRC using a better version of the Assam NRC will solve the problem. Nothing fancy is required. Then it becomes just a policing function where you deport those whose names are not in the register.

Now that several railway stations are undergoing redevelopment IR should consider building Aerocity like complexes at least near the major railway stations. They can have hotels, malls, etc. Especially in big cities.

Most Bdeshis are doing menial jobs by under cutting wages. Today you will find it difficult to employ Indian labor by paying less than MNREGA rates. This only aids businessmen and employers who will hire anyone including illegals for less money. It also leads to wage suppression. It also helps polit...

This is a bad idea. This may sound good for a developed country with labor shortage. In under developed states in northern, eastern and central India tens of millions are looking for some work. In addition 40% of labor force in India is doing agriculture. You need to move a majority of these people ...

Cleanliness is a huge problem in India even in BJP ruled states and a big turn off for tourists. The shitting on railway tracks has more or less ended but slums and ghettos around railway lines are everywhere. Introduction of trains like VB has led to return of foreign tourists to trains.

Observations on Vande Bharat Express. I first travelled on VB 3 yrs back NJP to Howrah. It looked like Hema Malini in her 20s. I recently travelled on VB Chandigarh to Delhi. VB now looks like Hema Malini in her 70s. Both were blue-white color. Clearly while it is a good first effort it is not upto ...

Bhupendra Yadav should become the next BJP President. He has delivered stunning victories in MP and MH. The Shinde-Fadnavis combination should not be disturbed in MH. Fadnavis is young and can become CM of Vidarbha when that happens.

BJP has provided relatively corruption free Govt in Haryana for the last 10 years. But it is too heavily dependent on Center. Very few state gvt projects. Khattar was clean but very slow and a poor communicator. Saini has been there only for 6 months but is a much better communicator and has taken f...
