During the second edition of our flagship Ideas for India conference, we hosted a wide-ranging panel on federalism in India. Foreign investors and commentators often regard India and as a monolith, with a focus on a burgeoning middle class. More than 90% of British investment into India in the last 20 years has been in six states only. But to understand India more fully, it is importance to understand the unique place in federalism in India. After a phase of political regionalisation between 1989-2014, in which India seemed to be on an inexorable trajectory of deepening federalism, the election of PM Narendra Modi has returned the centralising potential of India’s Constitution into full view. In some ways, he has used centralism as an enabling force for coordination of policy at the all-India level. At the same time, delays in disbursing GST refunds to states, and centralising design and credit for direct benefit transfer schemes, have caused tensions with state governments. This session focuses on the interaction between State and Centre, and why it matters for a global India.

The International Monetary Fund forecasts GDP growth of 6.8 per cent in 2024-25. #India is enjoying international goodwill because the world is seeking both a democratic counterweight and a commercial alternative to Xi Jinping’s authoritarian #China. At the same time, another narrative about India has gained currency over Modi’s decade in power: according to international observers, its #democracy is in steep decline. Much of this is captured in a series of new books that seek to shed light on the country since Modi first took office in 2014. 😉 Three in particular take a critical perspective: * Christophe Jaffrelot’s Gujarat Under Modi, * Alpa Shah’s The Incarcerations, * Kunal Purohit’s H-Pop. But it is also worth absorbing the government’s own views on itself. 😎 In Why Bharat Matters (“Bharat” is the Modi-favoured Hindi word for India, and he uses it throughout), Jaishankar makes a compelling case that the world needs an economically growing, diplomatically nimble, digitally connected India.  #economy #economics #markets #investing #strategy #management #future #money #culture #book #books #globaltrade #geopolitics #india #china

Having been in office since 2014, Narendra Modi’s rule has catapulted India to greater prominence on the global stage. Many equate his policy agendas to robust economic growth, tackling corruption, and putting “India first.” On the other hand, Modi’s administration has been criticised for mishandling a growing discontent within the agricultural sector, instigating conflict between religious groups, and failing to revitalise the health and education sectors. Against the backdrop of ever-strong popularity among voters, it is imperative to discuss whether the BJP’s direction under Modi has been more polarising than unifying. The question then becomes: what (or who) is the right path for India as it surges ahead into the future? The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe. Palki Sharma batted for Modi at a The Oxford Debate debate :This House Believes That Modi’s India is on the Right Path. Watch her well researched data points of India's' progress under Modi's rule. 🔶Do you share your perspective if you are not in agreement with Palki Sharma

No question is wrong. Only answers can be incorrect. Need of the hour? India has decided to publish its own Democracy Index. This new index will provide a fresh perspective on India's democracy. As the saying goes, "you get the government you deserve." This holds true for every aspect of a system, governance, and practice. When a system doesn't work, you can either fix it or build your own. While the former may not always be possible, the latter is more empowering. India has always challenged western ratings indexes and agencies, but now it has run out of patience. This move towards transparency will allow for authentic methodology and transparent test results to be published. Let's see how this new index will shape India's democracy. #democracy #India #transparency

Honoring the Unsung Hero: PV Narasimha Rao Discussing Finance in India without acknowledging the pivotal role of PV Narasimha Rao, is an incomplete narrative. Rao's tenure from 1991 to 1996 marked a watershed moment in India's economic and foreign policy landscape. Despite facing formidable challenges like a severe economic crisis and political turbulence, Rao in along with Manmohan Singh, spearheaded bold reforms that revolutionized India's economy, laying the groundwork for its global emergence. A historic achievement among Rao's reforms was the dismantling of the License Raj, an archaic system suffocating economic growth. His leadership ushered in an era of liberalization, privatization, and globalization, unlocking India's potential and propelling it towards rapid economic expansion. While accolades such as the Bharat Ratna often used by parties as a Electoral Tool, but bestowing this honor upon PV Narasimha Rao underscores his extraordinary vision and unwavering commitment to the nation. It goes beyond mere symbolism, recognizing his indispensable role in shaping India's trajectory. Let's remember and celebrate the legacy of PV Narasimha Rao, an unsung hero whose contributions continue to resonate, inspiring generations to come. https://lnkd.in/g3VGidGR #PVNarasimhaRao #UnsungHero #India #EconomicReforms #BharatRatna #FinanceReforms

Narendra Modi The biggest festival of democracy is here! EC has announced the 2024 Lok Sabha election dates. We, the BJP-NDA, are fully prepared for elections. We are going to the people on the basis of our track record of good governance and service delivery across sectors. #PhirEkBaarModiSarkar Ten years ago, before we assumed office, the people of India were feeling betrayed and disillusioned thanks to INDI Alliance’s pathetic governance. No sector was left untouched from scams and policy paralysis. The world had given up on India. From there, it’s been a glorious turnaround. Powered by 140 crore Indians, our nation is creating new records of development. We have become the fifth largest economy and crores of people have been freed from poverty. Our schemes have reached all parts of India and the emphasis of saturation has yielded great results. The people of India are witnessing what a determined, focused and result oriented government can do. And, they want more of it. That is why from every corner of India, cutting across all sections of society, the people are saying in one voice- Ab Ki Baar, 400 Paar! Our Opposition is rudderless and issueless. All they can do is abuse us and practice vote bank politics. Their dynastic approach and attempts of dividing society are not being accepted. Equally hurting them is their corruption track record. People don’t want such leadership. In our third term, there’s much work to be done. The last decade was about filling gaps created by those who ruled for seventy years. It was also about instilling a spirit of self-confidence that yes, India can become prosperous and self-reliant. We will build on this spirit. The war against poverty and corruption will go on at an even faster pace. The emphasis on social justice will be strong. We are going to work towards making India the third largest global economy. We will further cement our effort for fulfilling the dreams of the youth. I can clearly see that the coming five years will be about our collective resolve of establishing the roadmap that will guide our trajectory as a nation for the next thousand years and make India the embodiment of prosperity, all-round growth and global leadership. I derive great strength from people’s blessings, especially the poor, our farmers, Yuva and Nari Shakti. When they say ‘मैं हूँ मोदी का परिवार’, it fills me with joy and makes me work harder to build a Viksit Bharat. This is THE era to make it happen and together we will! यही समय है सही समय है!

🌍 Exploring Economic Policies: India's Protectionism vs. Europe's Liberal Approach 🇮🇳🇪🇺 In my latest article for the MPJE association, I delve into the complex realm of economic policies, shining a spotlight on the divergent strategies of India and the European Union. India, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has embraced a protectionist stance with the "Make in India" campaign, aiming to fortify its economy amid rising unemployment. However, I argue that, given India's economic and societal context, a more liberal economic policy could be a wiser choice. On the flip side, the European Union exemplifies a commitment to international collaboration and free trade, fostering a thriving, interconnected market. While Modi's protectionist agenda may promise short-term gains, I contend that sustainable economic stability can be achieved through international cooperation and controlled free trade. Let's engage in a thoughtful dialogue about the implications of these policies for India, Europe, and the global economy.

#India 🇮🇳: „…our nation is on the cusp of a take-off” -claims of democratic backsliding — which the BJP rejects — have alarmed some observers in India and overseas at a time :-when leaders around the world are betting heavily on the country :-as a ~ geopolitical and ~ economic partner -To Modi and his supporters, such concerns are little more than the refrain of a chattering class out of touch with the India he is building, :-one that caters for a majority :-that they claim had long been sidelined in Indian politics -“Our foremost guiding principle in foreign affairs is our national interest,” Modi says. :-“This stance allows us to engage with various nations in a manner :-that respects mutual interests and acknowledges the complexities of contemporary geopolitics.” -When pressed on whether India’s closer relations with the US might be described as an alliance, Modi says relations are on an “upward trajectory” :-despite allegations made by federal prosecutors last month :-that an Indian government official directed a plot to assassinate a prominent American Sikh separatist leader on US soil -idea of an economically emerging India is not in itself a new one for the world’s largest developing nation. :-But one reason the narrative has taken hold so powerfully lately is because Modi reinforces it, with his talk of India building a $5tn economy and having entered an Amrit Kaal (golden age) :-Modi points out that India has progressed from being one of the “Fragile Five” to the world’s fifth-largest economy :-Infrastructure building has taken off during his premiership, and Modi’s office rattles off the numbers: ~ a doubling of airports to 149 from 74 less than a decade ago; 905km of metro lines, from 248km a decade ago; 706 medical colleges, from 387 before he took office :-despite a major infrastructure push and its status as the world’s fastest-growing big economy, India is not creating enough jobs Text by Roula Khalaf, John Reed & Benjamin Parkin in Financial Times Link to the full article: https://on.ft.com/3TR8ts7
