Last 12min was great. Kudos Krishnamurthy

Raghuram Rajan is blown away by Subramanian.

Raghuram Rajan should understand that being an Economist is different from being a political consultant. If you try to be a political consultant to a party like Congress then you are no longer an objective Economist.

He is a shame as a RBI governor. For your knowledge middle class are buying cars more. In my society 1.5 year back, there was a lot of space for parking. In just 1.5 years it’s completely full.

According to Raghuram Rajan, no one is better than him in managing the Indian economy than he. His views are politically biased. From fragile 5 to Top 5 is a great achievement for any economy.

Raghuram gives convenient independent interviews but when it comes to debate like this he is totally floored

RRR is a spokesman of the Congress

Absolutely shocking to see Raghuram Rajan turn out to be such a Liar, a man of no integrity ... !! ... He openly acknowledged in the past that he has allegiance to the Congress party at personal and also at family level, walked along with Rahul Gandhi in his recent Yarta ... and now telling the Kellog crowed that he is apolitical, and only an academic ... ??!!

Rajan says democracy is under threat where Manmohan Singh dismissed 11 governments while Zero under NDA. Leaving it to the audience

Raghuram Rajan is that old guy who is afraid of touching the laptop to see the actual data

Excellent Stuff prof Subramanian

Rajan should be economical with his political advise rather than being political with his economic advise!

Kudos to arvind subramaniam!! All substance and hard facts. Thats how economists should be.

Raghuram Rajan assumes that that the present govt was handed over a country at level 5 , but that's not correct. It inherited a country at level 1. Modi can't skip step 3'4'. Despite all of it , this Govt is creating a foundation for the future by investing in chips, digital infrastructure along with physical infrastructure like roads etc.

Raghuram Rajan made India as Fragile 5 during his tenure as RBI governor. Does he have an answer on why it happened? btw, Mr Rajan talks about freedom of speech but count the number of times he interrupted Mr.Subramanian while he is speaking.

The Politician in Raghu has dominated rather than Economist inside him.. 😅😂

one reveals himself -inner personality-only when he speaks about himself before an enlightened audience.Raghu has fallen in my scale of esteem which was high..

Subramanian has been excellent. MMS dismissed 12 regional governments and not a single word on decline in DEMOCRACY!

I cannot believe an Ex-RBI governor does not understand the importance of semiconductor mftring, which is the leading force powering tech revolution all over the world for some time now. Manufacturing will also promote the service sector growth around it.

Rajan should come in front and join the Congress party. He will sound more credible than now

Raghuram rajan is not the opposition but he rubs his shoulders and root for the opposition and corrupt every other day

Why is that Raul Vinci s kothadimai so frustrated and his fingers, palm never left his forehead most of the time 😂😂😂

Raghu ram rajan said he is commenting as an academic here but if that is the case then why did he join rahul gandhi's pada jatra? And he also showed great concern over manipur and i being from north east know it very well what has been the approach of central government towards north east since independence. But in the last 10 years the centre is paying more importance to north east. But it was an interesting podcast to hear two different views. Thanks 🙏

Such a fantastic debate . It was nice to see 2 knowledgeable economists share insights .

RRR is the worst governor in Indias history .. Thankfully Modiji got rid of him

Dr Subramanian shows he is a straightforward academician by drawing data from internationally accepted sources. Rajan’s assertion that he is an academic rings hollow. He is not objective in his observations; it looks like he has scores to settle. Rajan’s body language was unprofessional throughout and his condescending comments directed at Dr. Subramanian showed his immaturity. It is clear that the student has surpassed the teacher!

He got hurt for not reappointed as RBI governor hence making bad propaganda and giving disreputable comments/interviews against his own country in international level. He forgets that Economy does not always goes as per book.

Looks like RRR had terrible head ache listening to his mentee. His hand is always on his forehead.

Why do Rajan sitting like 'Injithinnakurangu'

If Vikram Sarabhai had not kick started space programs how ever humble way back in the 50s , would we be having ISRO and DRDOs today with the top notch Space programs? Unfortunately his foresight has a lot of shortcomings , and I am glad he has more American followers than Indians.

RR ,how come you are an economist......because of you i started voting for BJP.Earlier i was voting for Cong...you guys are destroying cong and we are going to see cong.mukth bharath in on 4th Jun..kudos to you

Raghuram Rajan... .. Feel ashamed that I had once admired this guy..

Frustrated man Raghuram Rajan

I would really appreciate Dr Rajan to understand the reality and at least encourage Modi ji to continue the good things of current Government for its goal of 2047 vision.

Great discussion with facts!! Hope this help people judge on facts and not on perceptions!!

Educated in British Raj's affiliated universities woke American mindset! God knows why they made him RBI Governer, worked for USA in Background!

Wages of both agri, hotels, construction have gone up by 2.5 times, over the last 6 years. The daily wage rates are minimum 1200 to 1500 rupees per day

Raghuram Rajan gave massive inflation of 12%. Like Manmohan Singh, he also was a Flop Economist

👏👏👏 Lovely debate... well done, Subu! It wasn't easy to defend actions/views when criticism flows, especially from a senior academician who was a guide and a mentor in the past. Criticism is good but should be constructive criticism where one can agree to pick up some of the shortcomings and improve the future course of actions for larger benefit of the human beings... here for all of us The Indians! In parts Raghuram Rajan did appreciate but very reluctantly... I can probably guess why & understand the reasons! He should have acknowledged the fact that 'every one manufacturing job creates 3 service level jobs' ... the point Prof Subu was trying to bring forth instead of harping on only growth in service level jobs! Secondly, India & Indians did benefit from liberalisation in terms of opening up the economy and increasing service level jobs but what we didn’t do was to substitute the imports by subsidising and encouraging manufacturing in subsequent years which was a grave mistake... the present government has done that exactly by starting the 'atma nirbhar bharat' project. The self dependency... the import substitution was an absolute necessity for India by increasing start-ups and manufacturing for the intended growth! However, I am really proud of Prof Subu, who handled the pressure very well with facts and figures in front of him. It wasn't about scoring points, but it was very much to do with putting forth rational & practical perspectives in order to uplift a huge country of 1.4b people in this era of uncertainties!!! I am proud to be an Indian of this India Growth Story!!! Cheers 🎉

Raghuram Rajan is the worst RBI Governor tht we ever had! Kudos to Subramanian for exposing the propaganda!

Mr Subramanyam is Awesome, explained the details fluently.. seems someone really worked hard and got good result.. Mr Raghu is a great economist but he missed an opportunity to lead country in a very difficult time.. Team which led Indian finance was new but they did wonderful.. New leaders are real good..

He got hurt by subramanian Swamy.and he has to now compulsorily criticize modi...but may be he now has a friend in Swamy because Swamy is also doing that only these days😅

Great listening to Subdramanian who was part of the team who steered the country through the financial crisis through the covid and thereafter. Noted RRR was finding the talk a little painful because he did not have much to contribute technically. The difference between the two persons is RRR is a pessimist while Subramanian is positive and not the Modi basher.

We are the poorest country?? What is Raghuram Rajan saying?

Raghu was forced to look at the roof top😅

See whatever Modi is doing to democracy as Raghu claims, it goes back to the argument of a strong state vs weak state , i.e centripetal and centrifugal forces of power. In 2013 when Congress was in power , and Raghu was RBI governor, they had lent a lot of crony lendings which all formed NPA's later on leading to banking crisis. So Mr Modi said he will offer a strong state , instead of a weak coalition state where the power isn't centralised leading to corruption and inefficiencies. The people bought that idea. Therefore it's the people who felt the need for a strong state and now you can't blame Modi. What people ask for, they get it

Great discussion..

Raghu Ram Rajan is a example of how a spineless a person could be in a position of RBI governor who was blind to all that nonsense going around. This country doesn't need Phd/,IIT MBA in economics to run the country but common sense in a person

De Rajan. Please come out of congress ideology if you have any serious attachment to India. That will be the great contributions even God would bless you for that. Be as perspective as Dr Arvaind Subramanian.

We all should be allowed to question each and everyone fullstop.

I’m not sure what Rajarajan is trying to say in his international interview. He mentioned that people are moving into the service sector, particularly security jobs, to support their children’s education. He also compared this to the manufacturing sector. In my opinion, small-scale manufacturing businesses producing standardized products could create more job opportunities if circumstances allow. However, it’s unclear if the same can be said for the growth of security jobs so called urban cities, even with referrals.

Fantastic discussion with lead economists. While we have done well in view of difficult global conditions, as rightly pointed out by Dr Raghuram Rajan, we need to take care of fundamental needs of our country which are in the field of education and enabling infrastructure.

Excellent data points by Prof. Subramanian. With learned Nationalist like him guiding the governments, India will definitely transition to being a developed economy in coming times.

the object of these debates is how to make necessary changes for growth

@Mr. Raghu & @Mr. Subramaniam, both of you spoke about unemployment. As a person, in market I feel, the current younger generation is of unemployable by the way of their character and enthusiasm. They unemployable at all. If you need proof, please check withany major companies HR and department heads like, design, production, planning, quality control, metallurgy, etc. The need of the hour is change the education system. Otherwise, indian young minds will become useless soon...

Never heard of MSME getting loans during Covid. Even today MSME have not recovered, and being the largest contributor to employment resulted in the unemployment figures today

Subramaniyam is on fire with facts❤❤❤❤❤

Raguram Rajan has shown his affiliation to a political party. His arrogance was there to see. He got it back from Subramanyam. Well done Subramanyam

What is the division ➗️ year between entry at the IIT betwixt the 2 and the spin angle on the outfield in the given sum

The question is who can solve the problems of India? Rahul Gandhi or Modi. That answers the democracy question Rajan

One very interesting thing about Raghu is the length of his hands: like an ājānubāhu Couldn't understand why the camera was focusing on Raghu when Krish Subramanian was speaking; weird Really liked the funda of Krish of working from first principles, just like Elon Musk, born the same year (1971)

Did Karan thapar or Ravish criticised the previous Govts like they do th current Govt? Are they neutral? Did Govt remove them? Mr.Rajdeep is the best critic of this govt. Is he not expressing views in the Channels? Is he unemployed? Ridiculous points by Shri Raguram Rajan! What will he say about the corruption in various state govts? I completely disagree the political comments he made and he picks the points of blame only of this govt.

debates like this is a welcome change...we need to pay attn to the education centre and definately the health of the youth ic crucial

RRR talks out of air. Subramanyam talks with facts. RRR carries in his head he is great. During RRR inflation was much higher and India was termed a fragile 5 in Feb 2014. Now in 10 years India has become top 5, which includes covid period in which India far better than RRR prediction that India was doomed. RRR was appointed person by PC on his post, not independent he claimed himself to be. Worst RBI Governor India ever had.

When k.s was introducing the camera man was sleeping.....he never bothered to show the person talking

The sheere arrogance with which Dr. Rajan approached this entire conversation and sort of disassociating himself is testimony to what he is made of. He can keep propagating his theories and we’d be more than happy to prove him wrong

Why camera is not on subramanian?

When he says, he got the scholarship, so no doubt, he has to bark for.

Kudos to Subu for coming well prepared with his cherry picked data. Rajan pointed and questioned a few times regarding how he is portraying his data but i guess he stopped after a while as he did not want to turn this into a public squabble. Rajan better thought there is no point in sinking to his level. Subu is not even trying to hide how biased he is. Again excellent exam preparation by Subu with all his small handwritten notes in all his pockets

There is enough proof to prosecute Raghu in RBI . Gold import scheme he must have good

What is the point of investing in universities if you don't have industries? Ship the engineers abroad ?

What was RRR contribution to the development and progress having been very close with INC first family then and even now. 57:53

It's fun to hear both and add arvind subramanian it would be more fun😅😅

It's okay to have contrarian view points. The debate was lively and useful.

Both sides make valid arguments. We should learn from both sides and apply both. Rather than applying one or the other. India should rise. Not left or right. Whole India should rise.

I really liked the part where Ragu Corrected Subbu at the end closing his mike that "Miles to go before I sleep" was said by Robert Frost and not Swami Vivekananda.By the way Swami Vivekananda said "ARISE AWAKE & STOP NOT TILL YOUR GOAL IS REACHED" (Raghu still being a mentor to Subbu is good to see ❤️❤️💯💯) Loved the discussion Subbu actually gave it quite good point on the democracy part . Raghu was seemingly quite nervous and kept on interrupting when Subbu was making a point. Ragu didn't allowed subbu to finish atleast.

The two gentlemen are intellectuals in their own right but they are conservative south indians who will not cross the lakshman rekha as they respect the position of the person to whom they are or were reporting. They need to protect their family over their over ambition on professional career to antogonise any politician past or present. It is the bitter truth and factual

He his doing his bit to help his friend, R.Gandi with so many youtube appearances yhese days... !!!!

the "robert frost" at the end. hilarious.

I loved how raghuram rajan was sitting when others r speaking.

Research in macroeconomics & public policy provide imperfect models of real life.

The disciple subramaniam has excelled his mentor RR

We already have them do you work for china

Productive discussion

So according to Raghuram Rajan, agrarian economy cannot grow fast! Now, whow us asking India for rice and wheat? It is a shame that this person was our RBI Governor!

Insightful talk by Raghuram Rajan,so inspiring 🙏

Hey Media!, when Subramaniyan starts speaking, why don’t you point your camera at his face? What kind of diplomacy is this?

1:11:24 Whats this Robert frost remark? A jibe at Krishna for taking an untravelled road?

so according to RRR you need spend more to invest in human resources but not to invest in manufacturing so they will continue at larger scale going out to some other countries

Rajan needs training in the acting school too. His body language shows it all. He isn’t able hide

Though do not stand by entirely with Dr Rajan, nutrition, education, basic law and order certainly should be pegged at the top of policy making. These are the building blocks of any nation. The growth rate of 10% should be a non-compromised goal to lift the country out of poverty. His comments on manufacturing though in different context, proliferation of manufacturing facilities should be seen from the sustainability standpoint and cost benefit including environment cost. His comments on self reliance measures of the government like PLI, chip manufacturing initiative does not find resonance. Dr. Subramaniam is the aspiring face of new India. Unless we are optimistic about India, we cannot grow on a diffident note.

It’s like this , the person in the center is saying there is problem there, we can’t do that, we should do this, we should do that etc. we don’t have good schools ( he forgets he did his schooling here only ) then he says we have iits which are very good, we can’t become developed country ohh man all negatives ,,,

Funny that raguram rajan questions other panelists as appointee of present day Indian government…without mentioning he was kicked out by the same government for trying to halt progress by hiking interest rates to seriously high level which would not allow any growth

Skill is critical

Hi Raghuram, I appreciate your focus on strengthening India’s educational sector, particularly through initiatives for top institutions like IIAM instead of subsidizing Intel chips. It’s understandable that progress takes time, especially given the previous Congress government’s shortcomings. Despite this, medical universities in India are expanding with the implementation of NEET. It’s unfortunate that you faced backlash, particularly due to comments on the Chidna shoe industry’s investment in Tamil Nadu. It would have been better if you had moved past the trolling comments.

Optimist vs pessimist a person who says pot is half full and a person telling half empty biased person

Congress agent vs Indian Economist 🤣🤣

RRR appears he is envious of Subu for having got an IMF job while RRR has been struggling in an University assignment. Further RRR has been appointed to serve some vested group to beat down India story. Subu talks with data which I am sure would convince more qualified people rather than the heavily biased general comments made by RRR. Finally this discussion must have interested those who wish to invest for the nxt two decades.

So the respected RBI EX Governor ans how he is coming to the conclusion that Four Wheeler sales is not on the rise because of the upliftment of Middle Class and only higher class is buying the cars, what's the logic here

He talks like a politician, this Raghu ram rarjan
