Reimagining India's Economic Future with Dr. Raghuram Rajan & Rohit Lamba 

Why does he talk about India sitting in US? He is talking more about Indian economy now than when he was at RBI

This man lost all credibility after he aligned with Rahul Gandhi. Wants to be next Manmohan Singh

Huge respect to Dr. Rajan and his wisdom. Man has a spine to speak the truth. Very informative and educational video. Thank you.

This material is being picked up in the West. The Economist magazine reprinted an article about Rajan's and Lamba's book. As an American I would warn you to be very suspicious.

My god, NEHRUVIAN, India was fully bankrupted in 1991, sold nation gold. PLEASE STOP.

His resume. Don't you think facts are important. Unless opinions are more important.

Dr. Rajan is talking nonsense. The Germans, the French, the Russians, the Japanese, the Koreans and now the Chinese produced many best scientists using their own mother tongues. If India does mot have a unifying national mother tongue, is their problem. After all, only 12% of indians speaks standard english, so what is the advantage india has?

Thank God jaitley and Modi booted out this egomaniac. At that time, I wasn't quite in agreement with the decision of Modi, in retrospect a masterstroke

Rajan defended CONgi who had ₹300+ crores with him Rajan wanted indian gov to give out money during covid which worked wonderfully for western economies right Rajan should just leave Bharat alone, he and Raga shouod continue thier yatra to thailand as it is raga spends times there after every defeat

RRR talking about economics 😄. The guy predicted doom for India and we grew by over 6.4%.

Hi Raghu is US citizen he should contest for US presidential election hence he should stop wasting his time to visit india and stop talk about his views. When he was working in RBI he should talk about his achievements rather than criticizing Modi government.

PURE GOLD. Excellent insights! What a brilliant talk and interview. Halfway the the book. I love it.

RR was made to feel that he was God's exclusive gift to India when he took over as Governor RBI. He fondly accepted that verdict. Pulp media painted im as IndianaJones-Keynes-Gregory Peck all packaged into one. The Left and the woke crowd has now taken him over and he has been playing the social oracle for a few years. His tiring sermons on democracy and inclusiveness are tiringly repetitive and hopeful of hitting the target some day. Plain fact - he is pissed off on being removed. He misses the limelight and has been going horribly wrong on his technical predictions for many years now. His warning of looming recession and low growth for India were almost in the manner of a prayer. His partisanship in misinterpreting statistics would embarrass a post graduate student. His misrepresentation or non acknowledgement of work done in the health sector & stack , on boarding of Ayushman to over 25 crore despite being a state domain. Infra and DPI, DPD OCEN ONDC which has been dramatic to say the least. How does one create jobs?Financial inclusion of SMEs is unthinkable without mass credit. Which is what is being achieved in population scale. Yet RR is at his setmonising bit all the time. The syrupy sermon on Services sector - again ignoring the huge govt focus on that sector. Why ? Who is he actually fronting for ? Is his mission and standing as an economist compromised ? All evidence points to that. A simple bureacrat at RBI is now doing a commendable job. That would hurt the ego of all the three economists who were together at the helm in the past at RBI. If RR is an honest commentator he should have something good to say about Indian economic performance. He is openly miffed and pissed at hearing anything positive about India. The western bloc which is obviously backing him will dump him when convenient. Dr. Rajan , swallow your ego , go back to ur academia, shut yourself up, work seriously with scholars, shed your spurious avatar-status and create genuine work instead of doing political skullduggery using your academic capital. You will be bankrupt very soon. Remember this - your star status and charismatic appeal are over. Write memoirs if you feel like. But get back to genuine hard core academic research. That is who you are meant to be.

RR was wrong before and he will be wrong again and wrong because he has an agenda. Curious to know if RR can a list 8 meaningful reforms and improvement he brought to the system during his tenure? Quantity vs Quality! Who doesn’t want both at optimum level it’s just quantity follows quality. The more you make the better you will get at it. Look at how china reached from quantity to quality.

I feel they are assessing Indian economy from an US lens...those parameters dont hold good for India...

In his first speech as RBI governor, Rajan promised banking reforms and eased curbs on foreign banking, following which the BSE SENSEX rose by 333 points or 1.83%. After his first day at office, the rupee rose 2.1% against the US dollar. As Governor of the RBI, Rajan made curbing inflation his primary focus, bringing down retail inflation from 9.8% in September 2013 to 3.78% in July 2015 - the lowest since the 1990s. Wholesale inflation came down from 6.1% in September 2013 to a historic low of -4.05% in July 2015. In a 2014 interview, Rajan said his major targets as governor of the Reserve Bank of India were to lower inflation, increase savings and deepen financial markets, of which he believed reducing inflation was the most important. A panel he appointed proposed an inflation target for India of 6% for January 2016 and 4%(+-2%) thereafter.[41] Under Rajan, the RBI adopted consumer price index (CPI) as the key indicator of inflation, which is the global norm, despite the government recommending otherwise. Foreign exchange reserves of India grew by about 30% to the tune of $380 billion in two years. Under Rajan, the RBI licensed two universal banks and approved eleven payments banks to extend banking services to the nearly two-thirds of the population who are still deprived of banking facilities.

more one is educated , more on is confused . One need to be street smart to excel in life. Mr Raghu Ram is educated and has little knowledge about how Indian economy works.

Raghuram Rajan has been repeatedly incorrect on India and he keeps doing it for the benefit of BJP. Society of justification, which he is fond of, just check Society of Justification suffering in UK, France and how illegal immigrants are troubling them inside and outside the parliament. Good luck to him.

😂😂This papu ex governer don't know shitt about economics whatever he said from past 9 years has been proven wrong. he is just unhappy with modi that he didn't repeated him for his 2nd term 😂

What a sad 😭.. government bdlte bechare ki job chli gyi... Hr election se phle aa kr RBI economic pdane lgta hai.. phir bhi Jeet nhi pata Pappu 😂😂😂

The comment section is a revelation. RR is done! He speaks more like a politician when asked about economics. Sit down, man! Enough of your BS. If you keep repeating the same thing again and again then you are bound to be right someday. Even a dead clock shows the right time twice a day...

Overhearing at South Campus

No Occupancy Certificate was the Norm.

39 and 369 only for Dr Virna.Pandey

So sensible. Amazing clarity

Beautiful paintings as the backdrop of the splendid interview 😋

RRR is one of the most overrated economist’s around and his every suggestion isn’t just dumb but is layered by a malignant intent to ruin Indian economy! He wants govt. to stop spending money on manufacturing and invest in service sector is astonishingly lame for a man of his caliber. He wants India to take US route where wealth inequality is very apparent, sounds very suspicious.

That China is not an idea led growing country is ridiculous. Raghuram Rajan is making some cliche statements not based on facts or logic

More than justification, i would call it, rationale. What made you do this. Help me understand..

India as bright star in global economy is a sore eye RR. He predicted doom and gloom for India. That is proof of his incompetence .

Worst governor 1 high intrest rate when dollar was at lowest in 2013 14 2 high inflation 3high npa all loan to vijay ambani amd birav sanctioned under his watch

Folks, Dr. Rajan is right, but please everybody understand, under the current political system the nation will not develop! It has no incentives for politicians to do the right thing. So please the blog indian-liberal at medium. Do not waste hope in this rotten system, establish a new system, one that values democracy. I would be delighted to have this blog be brought to the attention of Dr. Rajan and anyone else!

When PAPPU will become PM RR will be the FM.🤡😅

RR does make a couple of good points but overall betrays at lot of pent up angst. He may be well meaning in his intentions for India but these days he is not completely fair and unbiased in his interpretation of Indian political economy.

In a spurt of innocence if the grammatization is a little 2 plug n point 3 why wasn't the currant jam around. That was for the unassuming with the hot seat burner against his innocent non concentration that Bundle Delhi was said on the sly as the IIT itch is a trifle pudding thats sweeter than his goregaon 🍇 grapes

Bichouna. A reminiscent in decanter

One of the worst analysts , Raghuram Rajan! Giver of Bad loans!

What has been his contribution as a member of the Economic Advisory Council in Tamil nadu . Maybe he has provided a model for unbridled corruption .

Well if Mr Rajan wants to debate his point of view he should do it with IMF or the CEA not with himself and the congress cronies which is is one of them

He says something then contradicts himself. Where is your magic wand mr know all.

Listen to Raghuram Rajan and do the opposite for the progress of the country.

Vice-Chairman of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).[48] In May 2016, in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy leveled several allegations against Rajan.[49][50] He accused Rajan of raising interest rate to the detriment of small and medium industries. He also claimed that Rajan has been sending confidential and sensitive financial information using his University of Chicago unsecured personal email address.[51][50] But Rajan said that these allegations are fundamentally wrong and baseless and addressing them would amount to giving them legitimacy.[52] On 18 June 2016, Rajan announced that he would not be serving a second term as RBI Governor, and planned to return to academia.[53] In September 2017, Rajan revealed that though he was willing to take an extension and serve a second term as RBI Governor, the government had not extended any offer to him which left him with no choice but to return to the University of Chicago.[54] He also denied claims that the University of Chicago had, at that time, refused to accept his leave of absence to continue for a second term.[55]

Talk is cheap
