Nam, probably you have not understood what I said. I will start with by saying the shoe salesman in Africa story that many of you have heard before. Two shoe salesman were sent to Africa for survey. One reported to the company "Don't send any shoes here. No one here wears them". The other ...

That is just one factor and corporate tax cut will help there. Plus land and labor. While there has been some movement on labor nothing on land. If you make it mandatory to give 4x rate for rural land and 2x for urban land it will lead to disaster. Imagine paying 2x rate in New York for something. T...

I am against IT tax cuts. IMO they are in line with most advanced countries. Plus any cut will become permanent. However, the tax slabs can change. The logic is that with expanding economy, income rises and more people move up to the higher bracket but are penalized unnecessarily for this. Cost of l...

So MH is the first state in India where both the ruling and opposition party have Hindutva ideology.

If anyone wants to know what the new generation of Bengali intellectuals think - read or watch them speaking. They are the likes of Sanjeev Sanyal, Anuj Dhar, Anirban Ganguly, etc.

Garga is not anti- or pro- anything. He is pure tomfool. He has to just speak a few sentences and you can catch him. These are the morphed Commies. After Bengalies kcked out that ideology they are peddling the same horse goo with fresh perfume.

Those "seculars" who are gloating about the MVA coming to power in MH will not know in future what hit them if the SS turns out to be a successful political party. Then instead of one you will have two - both ruling and opposition as Hindutva parties. Good luck to UT. Hope you build a part...

Garga Chatterjee is a stinky skunk that no Bengali worth his salt should touch with a barge pole irrespective of which political party he supports or belongs to. He is a newly repackaged version of the older Bengali Commie agenda of pandering to a frog in the well syndrome of Bengali sub-nationalism...

It will be viable. It is next to rapidly urbanizing middle class areas with catchment right upto east, north, south Delhi. With highways and expressways that is just 1 hr drive.

Change tax slabs next budget. Real interest rate should not be more than 6-7%. Retirees will be unhappy but nothing much can be done. While jobs are being created not enough quality paying jobs are being created. Something the govt needs to focus on. There are still complaints about GST regime and e...

The core Hindu vote of the INC in WB has migrated to the TMC and the core Hindu vote of the Communists has migrated to the BJP. So yes the TMC is essentially a H party. The TMC did some M pandering to extricate the M vote from the CPIM. Now the M vote in WB is substantial and cannot be wished away. ...

My brief summary of the political situation in MH. The divorce of BJP and SS was going to happen for several reasons sooner or later. 2 political parties with similar ideologies are competing in the same political space and friction was bound to happen as one tries to get the better of the other. Th...

The SC RJB verdict is a game changer as it establishes the principles of restitution as legal and constitutional provided done lawfully. The left and their international backers apart from basically lying on our civilizational history had propounded the theory that restitution was untenable, illegal...

These things are going to happen slowly but steadily as we are still weak while Hinduphobes or anti-Hindu power centers are still strong. Cannot be done suddenly.

Kashi and Mathura temples are fundamental to Indian civilization. The Mathura temple specially as it is the birthplace of Krishna the greatest icon of Hinduism globally. It is going to happen.

It is time to renegotiate the FTAs. We now have a $100 billion dollar deficit with these countries. As for traditional Indian companies not being able to compete. Very few are entrepreneurs. Most are traders. As long as they make margin selling an imported product they are all fine. The only hope ar...

ASEAN and other FTAs did not happen because you were asking Hima Das to be world champion after tying her left and right shoe laces together. Ofcourse it would not happen because you need to first carry out domestic liberalization and make your companies competitive. None of this happened in the las...

I won't be that pessimistic. Land was an IED planted by the NAC. We have to slowly get out of it. Labor is ongoing. Labor laws have been simplified. My guess is that PSU strength is first going to be reduced to prevent political unions from getting in and then further liberalized. It will take 5-10 ...

FTAs have not greatly worked because we are not competitive in most manufacturing and even agri. The reasons are several. Cost of money, high corporate tax, land, labor and lack of innovation. Except corporate tax and to a lesser extent cost of money the other issues are still pending. If we sign th...

Except India all other countries are negotiating from a position of strength as they already have a robust base for their products.

The question is what are we going to sell to the partner countries. We are not even able to sell Indian made mobile phones to Indians themselves. Signing RCEP at this stage is pre-mature. It is like trying to sell LCA to America.

Supratik

After a long hard thinking I feel this may not be a good time to sign the RCEP agreement. The reason ASEAN, China and other countries want India to sign are different. Chinese access to US markets has been severely curtailed. It is looking for another big market for its products. ASEAN is an export-...
