This is hardly significant. For all we know the inflation can be 7% and growth being 3%

Sensex now down by almost 500 points.

Interesting that the FM is not comparing allocations to that in previous year - for any initiative. That used to be the hallmark of previous speeches. Will be interesting to see which initiatives got more or less money.

Why does Air India need KYC documents to register for their frequent flyer program? Other airlines, it takes two minutes to register. I tried once and gave up when I saw all those requirements. I even emailed them about it and sure enough I did get a 'Dear Customer' reply saying it is not their fau...

As MoF improves NPAs in banks through cleanup and recapitalization, it needs to ensure LIC doesn't sink with poor investment decisions. Bailing out PSU IPOs and investing in questionable corporate bonds has been a big hit to LIC and will eventually be paid for by the policy buyers. LIC Rs 11,000 cro...

Let's be real. A large part of the 2019 win was because of the response to the Pulwana attack (in Feb) and the pro-farmer budget (remember the Rs 2000 given to each farmer before polls). This is substantiated by independent opinion polls. Both those to be irrelevant to the final result. Both a war/...

Now another perspective: * Topline GDP growth has very little correlation to the political impact of this government. It was re-elected by the most outstanding landslide in Indian electoral history, one quarter before the bottom of a long economic crisis. * What's more, the government was re-electe...

Read about the youngest ever MVC winner, 2 LT Rajeev Sandhu who fought back even though both his legs were almost blown off. Whose parents never even saw his mortal remains.

Through cr*p like this: BJP MP calls Delhi CM Kejriwal a “terrorist” Or when it’s leader says that Feb 8 Delhi elections are between India and Pakistan.

^ thanks sir. Used to think Congress enhances military budgets to save jobs, but sounds like another reason is gaming the budget laws.

Unfortunately in spite of all the sloganeering by Islamists against India & Hindus, quite a few of my Delhi friends are firmly with Kejriwal (they were always against BJP anyway), this is a psec crowd, not muslim, believes in anything against BJP & Hindu extremist theory! AK might get away ...

What was also disappointing was the seeming disparity in IAF’s gallantry awards for the Mi-17.

Agree with your sentiment, however I do think that this is a culture issue, not a process/policy issue. At its core, L1 tendering is a reasonable system. Where it fails is that (1) requirements must be drawn up correctly before the bids are invited or else, we know what happened in MMRCA v1.0 when w...

Of one thing I am sure, the crackdown on the left-nexus in our public institutions is long overdue. If there is a 2nd Trump term, Modi & co should make this their first priority. This is gold. Our wonderful “deradicalization” plans must wait for Trump to win a second term. We must wait for the ...
