Gaps in case made by Prof. Bhagwati's
by Alok Prakash on Dec 06, 2010 12:59 AM

Prof. Bhagwati fails to state that the first 30-40 years of India's independence were focused on two items:
1. National Integration: The power plant was built very far from the coal mine, so that there would be interdependence between the states - even if the result was inefficiency.This was a deliberate strategy by Nehru, and very successful in integrating India's vast diaspora.
2. Green revolution: Upliftment of Farmers - Gareebi Hatao. Approx 80% of the population of India benefited. India went from a nation with many famines & deaths to now a net exporter of grains. This was Indira Gandhi's focus and very successful.

Prof. Bhagwati claims that the economic reforms in India have benefited all segments, but fails to offer any data that proves this.
He merely makes this assertion
"After a considerable debate, it is now generally accepted that the enhanced growth over nearly 25 years year was associated with lifting nearly 200 million of the extreme poor above the poverty line."
The improvement data he does cite are mostly for dalits, women.

the inequality
by basanta borah on Dec 06, 2010 12:11 AM

i m not negative thinker, but we need to take care of the increasing (with the economic boom) communal and regional inequality; otherwise only the so-called elite class only can taste the butter. and if thats is the motto of economic boom, i will rather opt to keep poor

economic reforms and India
by Kumar on Dec 05, 2010 06:34 PM  | Hide replies

Just 10 years back no one in India can think in dreams also that most powerful country in the world USA will come to third world country India for creating jobs in USA. I can't believe it.
India has reached this leave in short time All because of Dr Singh as Finance Minister and now PM.
Just 10 years back no one even talks about China and India. Only USA, UK and Europe were King. But time cycle changed so fast that today everyone even in developed countries all are taking about India and China success.

PRESS RELEASE OF DR.SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY IN 2010

November 24, 2010.

Dr. Manmohan Singh,
Prime Minister of India,
South Block,
New Delhi.

Dear Prime Minister:

You may by now have realized that the 2G Spectrum scandal is not only bad for the country in the dimension of corruption, but now it emerges that there is a national security dimension too. The RAW, IB, CBI, ED all have enough material which they may have placed before you regarding the dubious aspects of the principal player in this scam.

According to my information two sisters, Anushka and Nadia, of Ms Sonia Gandhi had received sixty percent of the kickbacks in this deal i.e. Rs.18,000 crores each. The frequent travel of Sonia Gandhi and her immediate family to Malaysia, Hongkong, Dubai and parts of Europe including London requires to be probed under the law. What requires your special attention is the mode of the travel, not by commercial airliners, but by jets provided by the corporate sector which itself is illegal under the DGCA Rules. I find that often Ms.Sonia Gandhi and family have traveled to Dubai and then traveled onwards on private jets provided by dubious Arab business interests to Europe. It is not clear on what passport they have traveled. In Dubai they were felicitated by agencies of countries which are hostile to India including that of Pakistan.

You can no more not take a stand when evil is permeating in the country in the form of terrorism, religious conversion and demographic infilt
