India’s Growth Story: Astute Planning or an Accident? 

Only Indians listen to ur channel .Pakistanis r hooked to religious content channels .

We wish had Gen X people like Mr. Aiyar , we could have been at a much better place today. Kudos to indians for not being stagnant with growth opportunities and moving ahead with time. Same can be refected from way he talked.

Pakistan must learn from india in many fields,I want to see IT cities like Banglore and IIT universities in Pakistan

I am surprised why your channel does not have more subscribers and views. Internet works in mysterious ways.

Everyone criticized Modi for not printing and distributing money! America did it and created high inflation which has cascaded to Three back failures and high interest rate for borrowers! Looking back Modi team has managed it very well

Insightful and intellectually stimulating conversation. Uzair Younus good job.

It is a fact that Indian economy went through a very difficult period because of the 1971 war with Pakistan and Indian government's contribution to help settle newly formed country Bangladesh and its refugees. This had a heavy toll on Indian economy

My dumbass legit thought indias was some new startup rather than country

I found opportunity to listen to their conversation now only but noted that Uzair should be good listener. Let him not prove to Shankar Aiyar that he himself was as good as economist as Mr. Aiyar.

Good conversation! Subscribed

Well this is awsome

Pretty deep discussion.. loved the insights!

very nice

Pakistanis will as usual say hamare pass kalma hai..

Fascinating discussion. Thank You!

Excellent conversation

Good

UZAIR BHAI PLEASE FIX TITLE!

Aiyyar has an axe to grind, being a crypto-idealogue, like so many more of his ilk. People who talk of water and agriculture issues in India while wholly innocent of the principles of thermodynamics that demonstrably control every single aspect of growth and income. Aiiyar the ideologue fails miserably [ and in this case is either unwilling or unable to dissect the governance and policy making apparatus of state govts]. He is being most disingenuous and being guilty of something much, much worse. Anyway, facts do not lie. Take state govts. such as that of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, as examples of a great and pervasive ill. A lot more ould be said about the administrations of state governments, but here, let us just question Aiyyar on the following: Hase he ever dissected the tax and total revenue flows of each state government, and tally that with the amount of money and resources lavished on just the tiny segment who are government employees? Let us a rhetorical question: is it sane or even ethical to spend >60% of tax revenue of a state to benefit fewer than 1% of population? There is cant that gets one promoted to the ranks of the great and mighty institutions, like those infesting Washington. Ashok Mitra, a devout Marxist, found himself at the World Bank, and he dis have to sweat for this post, quite as much as Amartya Sen had for his Nobel prize. There are aspects of intellectual honesty that equally gets one disbarred from all forums now allowed by the great and the mighty. There are a lot of people of the E&PW types who write about agriculture, without understanding how agriculture, food production cut across a vast number of disciplines other than economics. MS Ahluwalia correctly pointed out the dismal state, on an all-India average, of rates of agricultural growth and income growth per year. And he honest enough to question how to enact policies that would give Indian agriculture at least 4% a year to hang its hat upon. MMS wrote on perverse subsidies vitiating growth in agriculture, but did not take any useful steps to attack the worst of these, e.g. the Public Distribution System, or at least reform their worst aspects. We have far too many articulate fools who have crafted a Faustian bargain with the centers of power in Europe and the USA. They are indeed very smart, and unlike Bhagwati, know which lines to toe.

At the time of this podcast, India economic was slow, low growth rate etc etc..... Today every one says it's one of the best performing economies, imf says india growth give them hope, bill gates says it's an bright spot... what changed in 2 years?? Maybe because this hindu nationalist fascist nazist of a leader?? I don't know qnything about economy so if you can explain Uzair???

This is some r/mildlyinfuriating stuff right here 😔

Wow, he seems to be in love with his own voice, please bring better experts

Fantastic conversation !
