Overview

"Before the next government takes charge in New Delhi in June 2024, this collection of articles is intended to provide the harsh ground realities of the economy with the hope that some corrective measures would be taken. The articles start after Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that India had entered into ""Amrit Kaal"", in 2021, and was marching towards ""Viksit Bharat @2047"", in 2022. While nobody knows what ""Amrit Kaal"" stands for, the vision, goals and roadmaps for ""Viksit Bharat @2047"" are likely to be spelt out in the first 100 days after the new government takes charge, assuming as does the Modi government that its mandate would be renewed for a straight third term. These articles pierce through the fog of incessant rhetoric of a glorious dawn and a glorious future - using both official statistics and other credible evidence. They seek to answer many unanswered questions and unravel mysteries behind policies and practices, covering a wide spectrum - from statistical system to growth, employment, gig economy, poverty, hunger, inequality, household finances, agriculture, industry, services, trade, private capex, corporate governance, banking, insolvency and bankruptcy code, privatisation, stock market, taxation, environmental governance, genetically modified (GM) food, freebies/ welfarism, caste, data privacy etc. Some also track global economic developments."
