Have to come to a Pakistani channel to hear Dhume talk positively about Indian reforms, strange world :)

Great podcast...loved it. One thing which I will like to add that his welfare policies approach has not ended in his second term. In fact, it has become more rigorous. In his first term, he focused on toilet construction, electricity connection, cooking gas, bank account opening, medical insurance, LED bulb distribution etc. In his second term, he is focusing on tap water connection (which is proving masterstroke), housing for all scheme, efficient public transportation in urban areas.

the best podcast on indian economy.. totally agree with him. the west is showing these protest as if modi wants farmers to starve of hunger and as if he dont want to win elections again. i come from a farmer family too. support the reforms since day one. its sad to see this state of india where some people would not stand for any reforms because modi did it. also true is 50 percent people in agriculture does not make sense at all.like 2 percent people in america are in farming and have more farming land than india. yes RCEP was accepting defeat. its good to be true to oneself. people farming on farms smaller than home gardens and 5-7 cattle. and compete with markets where farmers in australia own 100 times the size of farms in india or 1000's of cattles. or cheap imports from china. its accepting that we cant compete with them now. but without these reforms we would never be able to compete with them. its good to see rich not being viewed in bad light. you need money to do welfare too . you cant distribute poverty and hunger as its a better equality process. let no one be rich. let everyone be equally poor.. lol

you missed the jam trilogy, ujjawala, banking reforms, water to every village, road networks, Bad banks agri and labour reforms, reduction of corporate tax etc

14:00 To 14:50 .. I think people who think Modi won his second term purely because his communal politics and Balakot Strikes, should hear this on a loop until they understand how delusional they are.

Actually, I don't think Congress would change this policy, when they come to power. Modi did this which was in many policy papers. No one had the political willpower. What we need from govt. is to be more consultive with masses. Modi has authoritarian tendency, so no one trust him.

Very insightful, Air India has been privatized

aire gaire from India have become an expert on indian reforms specially folks like chutyanand dhume

Coming from Junaid akram podcast

Dhume looks like Maharashtrian surname

The big difference between Indian manufacturing ambitions and the Chinese manufacturing policy is that India primarily wants to attract manufacturing to satisfy internal demand and not, necessarily, to focus purely on exports. This explains why India is opting out of the various trade agreements. The bet here is that the Indian economy will become the third largest national economy in 5-10 years (4th if you count EU) and then it will be attractive for firms to manufacture in India just for the Indian consumers. In time, once the domestic manufacturing base is established, there may be scope to look at trade deals and exports. But meanwhile, the orientation of the Indian economy is a service led export growth with a focus on producing goods in the country to meet domestic demand.

Watching this in March 2023. Air India was privatized on 27th January 2022.

Air India has been privatized. What do have you to say now? India is the 2nd largest manufacturer and exporter of Mobile Phones.

At least he is wrong on AIR INDIA. AND THAT PUTS LOT OF QUESTION MARK ON HIS CREDIBILTY. And I skipped his video right after that. Unfortunately it was 2/3 of the codes.

Nice discussion Uzair. We did talk about powering bureaucracy to control social media. What should be a decision of an authority when clearly a third party social media platform is biased & pushes shadows of their agenda in population?

So... Air India has been privatized now. Took more than 6 months since this podcast was published, but it's done. As for RCEP: literally no country opens itself up before it is ready to compete. U.S. was a high tariff and non-tariff barrier economy until about WW-II. Most of the East Asian tiger economies too were export-oriented. There is nothing that says India can't do it, even now, at this late hour. If anything, the Covid-19 pandemic related China- and Vietnam-centric supply chain anxieties have opened a good window of opportunity for India. And finally, India has announced a production-linked incentive in the clothing manufacturing sector too. Even bigger, and I'm surprised Sadanand didn't mention this (although knowing his politics, I know why), but BJP has been clearing the way for more private sector involvement in defense and space sectors. And there is more big bang reforms to come in banking/finance-- starting with more Rupee denominated debt market being opened up for foreign investors. As for the social issues: Ayodhya to sirf jhanki , Kashi Mathura baaki hai. If anything, BJP and Modi have been too soft on Hindutva and are going to be taken to task if they're not careful. The project of unifying Hindus as a bloc after the secular project of dividing them on caste lines is continuing for BJP even if it seems to be flagging and will need renewed impetus. BJP's biggest voters are the lowest classes and castes, and likely many Muslim women too who were happy with finally getting freed from Triple Talaq (which you forgot to mention completely... oops!).

Air india got a buyer TATA

👏👍✊️👊

This was a really great episode. I have always been anti-Modi and this episode sort of opened a window to their policies. Thanks!

After 2 years its looks like some joke conversation😂😂😂😂

If you are open to a more pro modi government narrative on economics i think you should have a chat with harsh madhusudhan .

apne padosi Bhai ka channel Chalao yrr. Nice one.

I came across ur channel recently, Loved the content. My main worry with the Modi Gov is there atmanirbhar bharat Policy seems to be more and more protectionist. They have been raising tariffs on huge amount of goods. I was really disappointed that India did not join RCEP. If this continues we can forget double digit growth

There was no better person to invite on this topic than Dr Raghuram Rajan

First

Why don't you focus on your own country?

Looking back to it...Air India is privatized and how. Sadanand ji is proven wrong. Hehe
