Power Flows from the Barrel of GDP

India's great leap forward in GDP has given it the credibility to move international alignments, says K Subrahmanyam.

Nevertheless, when China asks pukis to tame jihadists the latter do so. Kudos to China for dealing ruthlessly with treasonous jihadists within their soil.No nonsense China does not dandle teestas and sazmis.

India despite handing over millions, POWs well fed with biryani, free Jaipur Foot fittings & free surgeries done as goodwill gestures commands utmost ingratitude and contempt from jihadists.

I have been hearing this talk about boomboom economy of India for quite sometime.I suppose most of it goes towards upliftment of you know who.

Reminds me of the saying " it is akin to dissolving tamarind to turn the river sour or adding asafoetida to flavour the river ".

Well, the past 7 years show an undeniable rise of India's GDP, as the world has come to avail itself of our IT/services skills. The reason why the masses haven't been similarly uplifted by "India Shining" is that they don't have the skills to directly participate in this active segment of the economy. The illiterate masses need blue collar factory jobs that will achieve wealth redistribution and upward mobility for them, rather than taunting them with dreams that are out of their reach. Energy is fundamental to any industrial manufacturing economy, and that's why it's essential that we break out of the energy box we've been trapped in. Now we can supercharge our SEZs with the juice necessary to keep them humming around the clock.

I would certainly want to see Hindus conquer their stoop and rise to self sufficiency and excellence ,in short reclaim Her pristine glory.I want it to be an entirely Hindu achievement.

Not something like---(sic)moderate muslims brought sugar, (sic)compassionate christians brought lemons and sucker indoos brought water and only because of such sickular joint participation pathetic India is able to sip some lemonade.

However , to quote S.Gurumurthy:
"Unless secular India gives up its pseudo-secular drift and snuffs out the Islamist terror, the Indian growth vision will remain a dream ".
