Why India is Broken explains IMF/WorldBank/Princeton Economist Ashoka Mody | Book Talk 

Dear viewers, watch, reflect, then agree or disagree. It is just a book, but by an expert and prominent economist. If you disagree, present your facts. Watch the show I have provided data and articles supporting most of his claims about India's education and PISA performance, and about unemployment. If you are only listening then you are missing the charts and pics and videos of the supporting data.

Broken India is the fastest growing large economy in the world. Just imagine if it was not broken.

What Prof Mody tells about relation between sustainability and GDP is well settled old principle available in classical texts. For example, factories manufacture Cigerate and other Tobacco products, and these products affect people's health but at the same time these products add to the revenue and GDP. Such contradictions are common to all GDPs whether America, China, or India. Nothing specific with India. How can one base his argument on such classical contradictions to brobeat indian economy. Is it not a fact that Europeeya stringent environmental laws made the manufacturing financially unsustainable in Europe, and forced the factories to shift to China which had much relaxed environmental laws resulting in lower production costs in China, where no civil society or environment lobby can pressurise the Chinese government. Environmental sustainability had always affected the economic sustainability of manufacturing, leading to migration of manufacturing to new geographies. Let us consider the oil based economies like OIC plus which has caused havoc to environment at the cost of other millions. Should'nt the oil producing countries pay for climate justice. COP27 based many of its recommendations on this very premise. It is something academically classical without having any relation with the policies of any specific geography. It is upto Prof Mody to attribute to an specific economy. Such opinions make me to think that I am not getting academic analysis rather being fed an analysis based on political beliefs.

"Mody’s dismissal of India’s developmental gains in the three decades since liberalization comes across as churlish." - Foreign Affairs article. Most of the problems he pointed out are in the process of resolutions - and can be witnessed in coming years. For example, new-age waste disposal companies are coming up by the dozens, segregating waste and processing them into useful products. Basically the book is a rant on issues of before, not tomorrow... And the solutions and resolutions are ongoing!! 😀😄

Just came back from a holiday from India two days ago and felt like I'm in prison here in the UK 🇬🇧. India is no more old India. it's better than the UK. If I have a choice, I will leave tomorrow and won't come back. 😊

Dr Khan sir India is already third largest economy measured in PPP terms even before the start of this interview 😊😊

I found this session the most valuable. I appreciate u and Mr. Modi for giving attention to the topic that are not usually discussed. Quality of Education, Health, unemployme nt are few biggest hurdles in front of India.

Land fill burning happens in Kochi too repeatedly!!! The decentralised govt didn't work on this issue.

Dear Esteemed Scholars, India is not broken and it is not breaking either. I left India in 1999 as a 25 year old professional and returned back after 20 years. India is developing and developing very fast. People are "Satisfied" with material needs. However, quality information is disseminating very fast and in languages easily understood by people. One of the most remarkable achievements is limited use of chemicals in agriculture, thus preserving the land or as we call it "Dharti Maa". Industrial sector is also growing fast as more and more people are consuming relatively modern implements. The main difference for india is space constraint and natural dust which erodes the shine (Chamak Damak). If we had some more space we could have built wide roads like the already developed parts of the world. I also have a solution of the dust. Make everything matt finished. I wrote this before listening in because the title made me do so.

I absolutely agree with Mody Ji. I have studied in a top private Delhi school, my Real education actually came after 20 years when my children went into education out of India. We really need to address this massive problem. Our teachers want to be Politicians, babus, biz people but not teachers. Our teachers are the biggest cheats and corrupt in their minds towards The Responsibilities of Teaching Children is the key to build our Nation 🇮🇳

Thoughtful disscustion, thanks prof. for such type of contant... निंदक नियरे राखिए आंगन कुटी छवाय।। fruitful criticism always aware u and crystal clear reality,so if u want something marvelous always listen our critic's..............😊❤God bless Prof.

I have noticed a singular trend amongst the Indian origin "intellectuals". Crapping all over India grants them immediate recognition from the West -- something all these ivory tower intellectuals seem to desperately crave. I want to make it clear that my comments are NOT directed towards Dr.Khan -- but to the author of the book under discussion. I live in the USA and I travel frequently to my village in Andhra Pradesh. When I was a kid, my village had 2 families with 2-wheelers -- and they were considered rich! These days, every home in my village has power, refrigerator, TV, at least one motor vehicle, and more. I rarely see beggars come around to each house to beg, or even on the streets. That was so so common when I was a kid. As far as I can tell from publicly available data, India has moved about 400 million people out of poverty in the last 2 decades. Sure, there is poverty still -- there always was. Sure there is unemployment still, there always was, and always will be. But, there has been a lot of employment as well. Look around India's neighborhood. Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar -- India is the only bright spot in terms of GDP growth, forex reserves, world standing, and all the things that matter. So, when I see all these shitty intellectuals write books about how bad things are with Indian economy, Indian democracy, Indian press freedoms, it just really gets my goat. We need to ship them off to Pakistan or elsewhere, where they would have little time to write these tomes and would be more worried about just getting on.

Two reasons that often get overlooked concerning the "Indian-origin CEOs being ubiquitous" situation: i) Indians do not question authority and barely challenge the system. ii) They are being given these opportunities by the other already overrepresented community(juice), so that Indians can act as a fall guys for them.

The thing is India never focused on low skill high employment industry like Textile, footwear, real estate, MSME etc. What we focus and keep on focusing is hi tec industry like IT, Mobile phone, semi conductor etc which generates GDP but not sufficient jobs and require high skill employment. Second is we never focused on quality education. Except IITs and NITs our colleges are producing skill less degree holders.

I may have a different perspective - India is NOT broken. There is progress everywhere. Are there challenges that still need to be addressed, of course, yes? Indians are proud, and confident and are no longer ashamed of being called 'an Indian'. Has the quality of life improved - an emphatic Yes, in my opinion. When it comes to the other challenges - I agree, with unemployment/underemployment, health care, inequality, social justice, and rampant corruption. It is a part of the process. India will eventually get there (I am optimistic). I believe all stars are aligned, we just need to execute the vision and curtail the corruption if not eliminate it completely. 100% agree on the need for improving the quality of primary and secondary education.

Khan sir Professor is right…. Indian are brilliant inspite of the Indian education

He is talking and written reality, unlike many people. Very small % of Indians are privileged with better living standards. I know right-wingers will cry because he is talking reality.

Who think Mr. Khan become member of open socity foundation And taking grant form that for research on india 😂😂

Remnicent of VS Naipaul, "India , a wounded civilization".

Professor ji ,I even work world wide more than half of the globe continously 3 to 4 yrs then left .finally decided to work and build india .

Really a different and candid discussion. Yes, we have a lot of social baggage that drags down every good effort. If we would have focused on educational excellence and population control soon after independence, we would have been way more developed by now. Thank you Prof. Khan and Mr. Modi.

One of the best episodes in Khanversations. Few comments: 1. The impacr of MNREGA on employment has not been touched. Often, labour intensive activities - construction, material handling etc - have reported huge shortage of labour resulting in their moving away from labour intensive practices to capital intendive ones. MNREGA , and related poverty alleviation measures ( eg free grains to many households) has resulted i in many workers finding it easier to meet badic necessities without struggling to find employment. 2. India's industrialisation efforts suffer due to labour laws and regulatory issues. As a result, most industries prefer to find ways that avoid regular labour employment 3. The explanation of personal popularity of certain leaders - Eg Modi now and Indira in the past - is also related to lack of popular choices. However, Prof Modi's observations on decentralisation is extremely valid. We often see smalller states outperform larger ones and this supports this argument

Point by point rebuttal by economics student. As I understand it. Constructive feedback (pratipaksha) 1) On joblessness and growth economists like Prof. Arvind Pangariya and CEA V. A. Nageshwaran has given detailed explanations and counter arguments too! 2) Women role and jobs please refer to Prof. Shamika Ravi and also a finding that In Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu after liberalisation after some time women decreased participation in labour activities and stayed low for around 5 years or so but started rapidly picking up after that . Inference :- After basic needs are taken care of some fake family pride stops women from work but soon realisation comes and women start working again. 3) Decrease in growth post 2016 detailed explanations by economist K. V. Subramaniam 4) Environment pollution huge issue totally accepted but India was sole G20 nation to achieve 2015 COP Paris targets. 5) Recent uptick in Ganga River Dolphin population is result of continued efforts to clean river's. Also there was increase in population of fish in Krishna river too! 6) Courts and judicial system already people like Sanjeev Sanyal member EAC are talking about for there reforms Law Minister also hinted same things. 7) Urban rejuvenation is going in full swing in the country . From Mumbai metro to RRTS and ATAL Mission work is on in war footing. 8) This year pollution coming from parali burning in Haryana decreased too. 9) Also crime rates are falling . So called 'RIOTS' have also decreased. Insurgency has gone down repealing of AFSPA have shown so.! 10) Education work is going on it too . New NEP is step in right direction . Boom in e-education is also a good trend Example :- Recently in Maharashtra a exam for assessment of Teachers performance was conducted which will then is going to decide on which teacher to make permanent. Many colleges 11-12 have shut down in state which provided sub standard education. Many more is being done . But yes a long way to go ahead!!!!

Interesting & fruitful conversation with relevant topics. Quoting Hindutva as one of the factors is an exception " I guess it would have been ok if that bundelkhand guy would have told that I earn good & I do feel pride to be associated with dairy product business & I am an animal lover & among all animals, I love cow the most.

Dear professor Muqtedar khan, I am very thankful both of you for your discussion with Mr Ashok Modi. Our democracy practices have sufficient ability to find solutions of all challenges before 1.4 b people of India. Both population density and education is definitely great challenge for us but our Indian moral, social, economic, environment, love, tolerance and co-existence fundamental value system are strong enough and deep rooted in Indian society. We Indians love to believe in the concept of life "slow and steady" wins the race. We never been in hurry in life. So we are still surviving after one thousand years of all kinds of atrocities. Thank God and thanks both of you again for this kind of critical discussion.

On judiciary he is absolutely correct.

This was a brilliant video. We need a lot more of these. Way better than Pakistani anchors whining about their country and envying their neighbours. Thank you Professor Sahab.

The same IMF/World Banks has said India is bright spot in an otherwise gloomy world outlook. Even with the covid, while established economies struggled, India did very well. If I look back over the last 30 years, India had definitely improved a whole lot, poverty levels are down, unemployment down, purchasing power is up, middle class has risen, infra has improved , ,, I can go on. Granted , there is opportunity to to better, but exaggerating that "India is broken" is ridiculous!

0 job created in 10 years 😂😂😂 this man is smoking strong mal 😂😂😂

These cynical oldies are so out of touch with the reality and stay in a bubble of their ideological tinted perspective from which they see the world.

Job is a matter of concern for all government in power. I always felt that indian growth is jobless in organized sector but sir please consider huge part of indian economy is in unorganized sector,what's your opinion?

Professor Khan the real question which ought to have discussed in this interview is, how come India’s nominal GDP is 3.4% of world GDP in nominal terms when its population is about 17.8 % of global population? Low productivity of Indians? Reasons? Ways to improve India’s Output of goods and Services in shortest period of time.

A very provocative title of the book.. and the topic of your conversation with Prof.Mody. I started watching the video to see if Prof.Mody also resorts to wokeism like many left liberals on Indian origin do these days in the US. I found his articulations refreshingly honest, backed up by his own reasoning. He did not try to disregard or argue against any of the data points you shared. He maintained focus on his main themes and explained why much work needs to be done yet to develop this country. Hard to disagree with ANYTHING he said. But... this is the same India that Churchill once declared that it would not survive a decade as an independent country. India experienced starvation deaths soon after independence. The country had no core competency of any kind to speak of, to conduct international trade back then. India has traveled a great distance from those depths. India is a power to reckon globally today in many facets. Its infrastructure is developing so rapidly that not even eternal optimists have envisaged. So let's not trash/play-down what India has accomplished. Much needs to be done and it is upon the current generation of youth and next generation of politicians to carry India forward to greater heights by embracing new changes/challenges and finding solutions.

To achieve these goals as pointed by ashok mody, India has to become 10 trillion dollars economy, and I think India is on right path

You are far away from reality of indian masses. Wake up

Fully agree 👍. For past 70 years, we were failed by our politicians. It will be a humongous task for the present government to change the status cope. Mr Modi ji, u should be in India doing these things. Why r u sitting in US?😅😅😅 PLEASE come here and help our country ❤

Excellent! Eye opening discourse for us unfortunately our leaders won't take note of it

I think this is why china being autocracy people are happy. People don't care when they have jobs, getting salary, purchase what they want, eat sleep. Who has time to think about govt when they have jobs.

Good one, special efforts being made to show India is screwed up. Well, you are free to do this, Best luck!

Prof please bring any economists who can tell us how can India grow with double digit for at least two decades. Growthonomics is best way to become developed all the European countries he was talking about had followed same method since 1700, recent example is China. All the data he was telling, is publishing here everyday, no need to read book for that. Time for find solutions, not problem.

Absolute truth

Very enlightening

Mody ji if flooding is happening in china, USA, germany nd every country in the world

What are solutions for what are you saying?

Great! Full marks for objectivity. Guy writes a book titled 'India is Broken' in 2023. Sitting in Princeton, the most anti Indian university in the US. India will always have problems and plenty of them. If that's all you want to see, fine, you will see plenty. If you want to see unprecedented growth, people being moved out of poverty, social empowerment, massive opportunities, massive infrastructure projects, boom in manufacturing, etc. you can see plenty of that too. Finally, anything one can say about India, the exact opposite of that can also be credibly argued. So it is upto your narrative which image you focus on. Thanks for revealing your and your guests narrative

looking at the comment section I realise.. Us Indians are very poor at taking constructive criticism. & The discussion was a very good constructive criticism on where we lack & what needs to be done to fix the problems.

Dr, Khan, I really enjoyed this video where you were discussing with Dr Mody, his book about India. Thanks for bringing such content to your audience. Dr Mody's views on the subject of India;s economy and society were very untypical and interesting. So he definitely is an out of the box thinker and we all need to appreciate such thinking. I am not as pessimistic as Dr Mody on India's prospects. I would certainly agree with his logic on education quality and making sure that the quality of the education system improve continually from where it is, especially for the masses. I also agree with his views about the need for more accountability in governance and society in general and also about the importance of focusing on women empowerpment and employment. However, I also believe that GDP and GDP per capita are very relevant for any country. Rising tides lift all boats. I also wish he could have been more prescriptive on what is needed to fix the problems he identified. But thanks for bringing such an interesting speaker, and please bring us more diverse voices. As a fellow Hyderabadi, I want to also let you know that we share similar roots. I live in California now, but have a lot of fondness and hopes for our mother land.

His book was on the some facts of past centric data...past means 8 to 10 years before...current situation is not judged properly

He has forgotten the power of Indian culture and civilisation, which has made the Indian migrants most successful lot everywhere. As per Mr Modi no job is created in last 10 years, than also it is not like what happening in Pakistan. In all recent economic meltdowns, India survived due to its culture and social fabric. It will be really sad that Mr Modi will not alive to see Indians dominating everywhere in future

I will request Prof Khan to make a VLog (preferably a discussion with suitable intellectuals) on what makes Indian Muslims different than the suicidal routes taken by Pakistani Muslims, and the why reasons bcz of common ancestry? That will bring out what Indian Muslims should avoid, and what Pakistani Muslims should learn from their counterparts in India. A sort of academic understanding.

Dr khan has done a great job in facilitating this conversation ! Just one comment - this a historical account of fault lines in india , perhaps a bit outdated ! I see a decisive forward trajectory in past 5 yrs and we should see more concrete results in next 5-10 years! I don’t feel so optimistic about USA and EU !

He's definitely a very educated successful person,but in his love letter to India it's only depression and people of India may not want to here such things because they know their issues and trying to resolve in their own ways, even in such chaotic political environment of India since independence.. So he and people successfully doing outside India should lower their expectations little bit..

Very interesting and informative

They are Indian CEOs not India's CEOs like Dr. Khan, he is Indian but not India's. He is America's property

He is looking at India from pessimistic lens while others looks at it from optimistic lens. He is right if we cannot provide jobs for the younger population it will create socioeconomic problem. My point of view is while new age technology has created jobs but it has taken away traditional jobs. Hence we need to focus on job creation at much faster rate as technology like AI etc will take away more traditional jobs. Environmental degradation is a major challenge which we need to address as India is rated as most polluted country in EPI published by Yale. Having said that India Inc are doing some phenomenal work in the area of Sustainability and government is now focusing on it too. The recent budget is focused on green growth which is an example.

Sat sri akaal Modi sahab,Dr.Khan as well all listeners....

I couldn't understand calculation of zero job creation in last ten years

Would love to listen to more of such podcasts.

Prof Khan, I am an Indian living in UK for one and half decade now. I can see spate of problems in education system in UK. PM is literally banging his head and asking people to be better at numeracy so that they get better jobs. We have so called ‘mug up’ system in India but in all developed countries best jobs are being taken by Indians. I think the balance should be drawn between the education system in West and India.

Remarkable book.sir...

Yes government of India needs to do more works in job sectors..

Guest needs to go to India and see how businesses are propping everywhere. Young generation doesn’t even wants to work for someone else, having said that all these businesses are creating jobs , may be not as structured as in West but broad brushing is plain stupid

Digitization also a factor for unemployment various sectors and it doesn't meant digitization is not essential

To some extent Mody Sir right. Good and important discussion Sir.

Great sesson

Mai addicted hota jaa raha hun sir. Aapke iss tarah ke sessions se ❤. Thankyou so much 💖

In ower Village, a woman gets 350 RS per 6 HR a a man gets 500 RS per 8hr in normal days and in April May June thay gets some more. (Season of grain 🌾)

Sir, why is only per capita income so important and not the gdp on ppp terms? In 1 doller, you can get a one-time healthy meal in 90% of india. Is it possible in developed countries? They income more because they have to spend more for living. No one is denying that india is not a developed nation it is developing. Yes, India can do more and should do more, but india is broken, is nowhere near the truth. Some states are growing very fast but some are not so. So how can whole india be compared. Some of there have problems, and they need to be solved, but that's not the picture of the whole india

Employment- There is a lot of work to do in India. So jobs are plenty. The problem is everyone wants more money with less work. Accountability- This will happen only if you have a love for the nation or fear of the law. Women Empowerment/Development- Only financial independence can empower women. Environment- Indian Agriculture policy moved from output/acre to output/litre , River rejuvenation, Tree based farming, Organic farming, Multicropping etc... Health- AYUSH Judicial-?????????

Oh come on india has poor sanitation housing infrastructure but that's more of an opportunity than a problem.. that's the premise that India will grow faster as it has a lot to catch up on many things.. eats the fuss

Mr Mody the problem you are asking is available from last 70 years. In India we are not paid by hrs just like US . Don't compare with US

Boss....on the many points...I'm not agree with Mr. Mody.....👍🏻🇮🇳

The biggest issue is Time management, productivity and not acting for carbon neutrality - ( producing two or less children is carbon neutral!) .Modi is trying to address these same issue - by addressing river rejuvenation, reduce wastage from 50% to less than 10% .

Agreed sir I feel there is more noise than what it is. These days Indians have Turned to jingoism rather than facts or discussion. Speaking against BJP is propagated as speaking against India More than the economic achievement, democracy in india is dying a slow death and inequality in wealth distribution allows only a few sections of society as well as business to hold on to power than others. I wish India would grow but not at the cost of civil rights and freedom. Joining politics from a apolitical family is next to impossible without affiliation with powerful organisation, wealth or fame this politics in India is unique that keeps ordinary out from the game of democracy and allowing only a selected few from powerful groups to rise to top. Calling indian politics as the largest organised crime would not be false. Courts in india have nearly 5crore pending cases roughly 1 in 25 Indians have pending court cases itself is the testimony of a failing system and lack of ability to provide citizens with justice. Until these fundamentals are not resolved India could not achieve its true potential. India needs to grow at 9% till 2029 to achieve 5 trillion economy it is still growing at about 5-6%, neither economically or socially india is achieving its potential thus I feel "There is more noise than what it is".

I watched the whole conversation. He is speaking some good facts. Everybody can't get access to IIT level education. That's the truth. But we shouldn't be saying bad things. He is older than most of us. It is much easier to demean others than listening with sincerity. Accept the shortcomings and improve on that. Thanks Dr. Khan

I was about to buy this book today but had to be mindful regarding my already burgeoning to-be-read list 🙈 it is definitely on my wishlist ✨️

Vanakkam &Namaskaram. Modiji he tho Munkin. Jay hind vandhe matharam. Love you modiji.

I also do think that India had very poor quality Politicians at the time of Independence. They needed to invest in Primary Education 1st before going for any modernisation without resources or poor resources.🇮🇳But following the Soviet Model was disastrous.

I do believe that the issue of unemployment in very huge in India. But to answer the question of decadal growth, just one question-does the living conditions of Indian have improved as it was in 2012 or does it have gone down in 2022. Does an average man on the street is earning more money then he used to in 2012 or has his income has decreased. Does steal consumption, oil/petrol consumption, electricity consumption,and no of cars on streets have increased or decreased. I think data tells us the real figures more than anything else. Yes has it increased at the rate that we wanted too. No absolutely not. We would have wanted an average growth of 10% p.a but we got nearly 6.5to 7%p.a which is a significant decrease I.e 30% less than what we would have wanted. But achieving 10% growth is hard. I don't think we will be able to achieve 10% growth anytime in the future also. But I would be be very happy if India achieve 7% growth over next 30 years. And what govt says and what they do are completely different things. For ex "Modi the liar" - says we will become a developed country by 2047 which is 24 years from now. But I was calculating according to statistics available that is impossible no matter what. If everything goes right then India can become a developed country by at the very least 2067 and not 2047, which is 20 years ahead of govt prediction. And that too if everything remains stable. So what they say and what is achievable are two different things. Plus on the matter of women employment I think you guys don't read those data in depth or purposely choose to ignore it I don't know. But if you look at the data of women employment there is two clear distinction, the rural employment and the urban one. So in the urban areas the women employed has marginal increase i.e nearly 1 % while in the rural area it has decreased. Because in the rural areas what is employment I.e sowing, cleaning, other household activities but nothing else which pays literally nothing. In 2005-06 the rural women were working to support their families basic needs but since then the money the male member earning in the family had increased so those women no longer needs to do minusculine jobs because they no longer have to support those basic needs. That's why even though literacy has increased but employment in rural areas have decreased. And it is going to stay that way in rural areas . I read somewhere that, a very famous Indian ecomist said back in 2000s that What India needs to do is built 600 large and small cities that will solve a lot of problems of India and Indians from employment to solving corruption to solving problems of discrimination on the basis of sex, caste and so many other things. And about urban employment I don't see an incremental growth in women participation in that until and unless Indian parents gives up this idea of arrange marriage. Because marriage is still a big thing in India people do want to get married and raise their kids unlike Japan or South Korea or Britain. So most often than not it's the women who have to make that sacrifice. I have seen and one of my own sister in law gave up her job for having and raising kids.She was a teacher teaching Computer and IT but gave up her job 2,3 years after getting married.She wanted to raise her kids.Its the way it is. Then comes the problem of women safety as well.

great insight...love this video ..make this type of video more where we discuss genuine India's problem. rather than pakistan problem

The Title is very Leftie. But, Prof. Mody is so right. Hope we all listen to him and correct ourselves.

Mr Khan I am leaving your conversation because it's very biased. Can he tell me why Walmart closing four stores in. Chigaco so can he please look at the holes in the socks.

What an eye opening book

Well, India has always been broken with respect to all these aspects right from the very beginning. If it was not it would already have been a superpower. But it does not mean that India has no prospects. India seems to be able to produce competent workforce but India is unable to accommodate them with jobs. It is the consequence of skipping becoming a manufacturing based economy and jumping directly to become a service based economy. So India has been unable to produce jobs for the uneducated or low skilled workforce. That is what manufacturing generates.

Dr Mody is correct... Central state and local government not in same page that's why environmental problems from central.. education system from state and flood is mis management of municipality...India need self employed approach not job seekers approach.. every one looking economic data at large not at granular level.. We can't compare with Korea or Taiwan..we are 1.4 B people..

So All west n China was considering for all along GDP as barometer for growth n going gaga over it.. but when Indian time comes then start saying no no that's not the case.. it is like when India begins to win 50 over cricket then people will come n say that it's boring...Lol 😂😂😂

Your hatred for Modi and India will not be achieved Mr jiadhi Khan. I know your love and support for Muslim brotherhood, LET, Hizbul Mujahideen and other barbaric organisations. Be assured we will not let you cross that line. You keep trying jiadhi khan

Professor mody 🤔 George sosros 😂😂😂

As Jay Shanker Told.."old, rich Evil "😅😅

I may not fully agree with Mody as I see lot of emphasis is now being made in made in India projects (defence)and infrastructure ,service sectors -travel and even states are working on their projects so we are at least moving in right direction and may need to be done more. However we need to think about AI and other disruptive technologies and their implications on employment in future.

We need to watch now the growth of economies of the world with COVID exposing the strength of nations and its handling of the people and issues arising hence forward and how world leaders respond and lead their respective nation its economy and welfare of its people.

excellent conversation. 'vishwaguru' gang should watch this and get some sense.

We gave very good jobs to everyone in Nehru Dynasty till 10 years ago. Now, we turned our attention to the others here.

Education - New Education Policy Accountability - Information Technology is used at every level of governance. Judicial - Information Technology is used to make the judiciary more efficient, Scraped worthless and outdated laws. Health care- Ayushman Bharath Yojana Environment- Thrust on Renewable energy, Electric vehicle, and the development of Effluent treatment industry Women Development - Rise of minimum age for marriage, Scholarship in Higher Education, Criminalising of Muslim Instant divorce, Ujjwala, Loans for women-led businesses, etc Employment - Digital India, Gati Shakthi, Atmanirbhar Bharat, Startup India, Mudra yojna etc

Sir My Khan Sir I respect your analysis.but your and me birth place same in Hyderabad..but why you are feaver Pakistan.I feaver india.what diffrence to you and me.tq

After leaving India long ago both of u not aware of reality. Because India growing so rapidly both of u having a guilt feel. Within ten years both of u will comeback with folded hands.

One of the best discussion on this channel you ever had, we want more such learned personalities on your channel, whenever I look towards mainstream media it appears absolutely absurd they never talk about such fundamental issues, Dr khan i sometimes finds you biased on some issues,but this time you nailed it, we all need to understand what professor mody is saying as soon as possible,if we want to progress really.

Just boring and unrealistic left libaral views. Not worth your time Khan ji

I thought India is only faltering in ‘Democracy’, ‘Happiness’, ‘Religious freedom’, ‘Press freedom’ & few more indicators … now I learnt we are lagging in PISA test too… 😱 ..and then there is Mr. Tata ordering 470 planes(with order from another 300 coming down the line)..and all the Car companies selling more Cars and Ministry of transport making roads at about 20km per day .. I don’t understand how will all these ‘Un-happy’ ‘Un-employed’ ‘Low Maths-Science-Reading’ skills people get on those planes and use those roads ? And with such miserable situation on all fronts why is the stupid power consumption going up(10-13% monthly increase y-on-y) Every time I hear these economists I am reminded of the noble prize acceptance speech of economist Fredrich Hayek titled ‘The Pretence of Knowledge’(which would roughly translate as ‘ज्ञान का ढकोसला’) where he warns the world to not give to much credence to economists.

Our education system may not be very good but we’ve been still able to send a satellite to Mars in first attempt that too without spending too much money on it
