X-post I have re-checked my calculations. If the 6 million plus voters under judicial review in Bengal SIR are deleted then the Bdeshi illegal voters will be more or less eliminated from voting. If it is less say 2-3 million then many would still remain in the electoral rolls. The population of Beng...

MP, Gujarat and Goa are playing test cricket. With long term incumbency they consider it a 5 day test match and are taking singles. Odisha has made a rapid first 6 over field restriction start but have to see implementation. HY and UK have made a slow start but now have started taking singles. Imple...

The Rajasthan govt has gone into coma. Nothing is coming out from that state. Haryana and Uttarkhand have started moving.

There are many problems with what you wrote. Here are some. 1) Freebies and targeted welfare are 2 different things. It is already known that targeted welfare helps in alleviating poverty faster. The data over the last 10 years is right in front of you. 2) When you are saying there are 2% tax payers...

Even if the Salve story is true I do not see how it suddenly changed Indian cricket. I was then a young man and there was no TV. 1983 was all on radio. What it did give to Indians is a light of hope in a desperately poor and struggling country. But the cricket team struggled for decades. Before the ...

I am talking about the WA story. Never heard about it before.
Indian cricket turned after it became a professional sport. Even when we had legends like Sachin, Saurav, Dravid, etc we were not a team expected to win.

Bakwaas.

Bakwaas. Indian cricket changed after it became a professional sport courtesy IPL.

India should send the men's and women's football teams to the Asian games. The women's senior, U20, U17 and men's U23, U17 teams are very promising with some changes to the line-up and should get exposure to build solid future teams.

Now that they have ballastless track technology thanks to Mum-Ahmd bullet train project they should use them for legacy lines to improve ride quality and increase speed.

vsunderji,

Is the slight jerk and swing we see in VB trains due to the track alignment and curvature? Will it go away with concrete slabs?

The real population of West Bengal should be somewhere around 80 million and the number of voters should be around 60 million and not the 76.6 million whose verification is ongoing in SIR. If the figure on 28th Feb comes substantially higher than 60 million then SIR has not been able to delete illeg...

The 60 foot overbridges that Delhi is building should have escalators or lifts. Otherwise no one is going to use them.

Why can't railways get out of the dal, rice, chicken curry, paneer curry routine on premium trains? If the airlines can do it so can the railways. They should get out of the jail food, hospital food routine. If necessary charge a few extra rupees in vande bharat trains.

I am not sure how Ahmedabad is going to pull off CWG2030 and OG2036. The city does not look prepared e.g. in the videos I do not see any pedestrain infra. I think they are going too slow and may end up in a mess close to the event.

It is time for the govt to consider whether Netflix should be banned in India. They are continuously producing propaganda content like the latest Ghuskhor Pandat. We have had enough of these fellows. I think the govt has taken this very lightly so far.

Supratik

Don't be diappointed. We have seen worse in the 80s, 90s. India is going to develop through iterative improvements not suddenly like China. Too many socialist legacies to be fixed.

This is a maintenance budget as most of the reforms in IT, GST and labor codes have already been done. Nothing fancy needed at this stage. Some regulation has been eased in IT and customs. F&O taxation increase is to prevent too much speculation in the markets as a lot of bad investors are loosi...

I did not understand 2 projects announced for railways. Is Surat-Dankuni DFC something new or they have changed the alignment of the east-west DFC?
Also why Varanasi-Siliguri bullet train project and not Varanasi-Kolkata? The latter will make more economic sense.

Oil imports are currently 35-40% Russia, 35-40% Islamic countries primarily Saudi and Iraq, Rest from different sources including US. Gas imports are around 50% primarily from Qatar. Complete energy transition to EVs will take at least 15-20 years primarily due to creaky supporting infra in India. T...

Sanctions we have to see. I am not sure if they have blocked Russian investors from western financial markets. If not then they will not. For the near term Russia is blocked from western markets. So India will be a good option to reinvest oil profts and earn money. Once Ukraine is resolved we can fu...

We should do the same thing with Brazil and other resource rich non-western countries particularly in Africa. All in rupees.

Also India is facing low inflation and deflatationary pressures especially since the GST cuts. This maybe to counter that as currency depreciation leads to inflation. To me most of it looks like a short time effect. They should speed up the Indo-US trade deal.

Underlying reasons given by economists are Trump tariffs and FPIs withdrawing 17 billion dollars from the market in 2025. But clearly RBI is not aggressively defending the currency.

Supratik

There is an ongoing run on the dollar rupee exchange rate with the present RBI governor not aggressively defending it unlike Shaktikanta Das. This is going to mess up all calculations.

The SIR process in West Bengal is likely to be only partially successful in weeding out illegal Bdeshis. The reason is that many have entered the rolls prior to the 2002 SIR when the CPIM was in power in WB and the INC in power at the center. The only option now left is the NRC.

There are serious complaints about construction delay and poor quality of construction of NH66 especially the Mumbai-Goa portion. Apparently the project has been ongoing since 2011 and is still not complete. There are a few videos available of poor quality of construction on youtube.

Rupee under severe pressure against dollar but RBI is not intervening. I am surprised.

Nepal should return to a consitutional Hindu monarchy and eventually ban all Communist parties.

Govt should keep an eye on whether the corporates are passing on the GST rate cut benefits to the consumer. Corporates may try wind-fall profit gains.

The BJP state govts in Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Chattishgarh have gone into coma with no developmental updates coming out. The other state govts are doing fine with regular updates. Seems nothing is getting done in these 4 states.

Also less bribes. The more unecessary regulations, the more rent seeking.

SC has "suggested" that Adhaar be considered, not "mandated" or "instructed". ECI is an independent constitutional body and has the right to determine which documents are to be considered.

Maharashtra should declare Sanskrit as the third language and end the language controversy. Many if not most northern states have chosen Sanskrit as third language.

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.
