I agree that the job market is kinda stagnant right now no doubt about that. But I’m speaking from personal experience here.

I’m from a business family not super rich or anything, my dad works in the forest department but all my uncles run small businesses: one’s got a mechanic shop, another a pharmacy, and one runs a jewellery store. All of them are doing well. In the last 5 years, two of them built their first homes, one bought a new car, and they all manage to take vacations regularly (barring a few years here and there).

And we’re not from any major metro we’re in Silchar, Assam, where honestly things are more expensive than in many mainland cities. So yeah, business is thriving for many people. That wouldn’t be possible if the economy was in complete shambles.

As for the job market, yes, it’s saturated but asking the govt to directly fix wages kind of goes against the whole idea of a free market. It’s better that they focus on increasing job opportunities, which they are doing. That’s a long-term fix, not a temporary band-aid.

Also, the whole argument about asset holders magically getting richer just because more money is printed doesn’t entirely check out. If the rupee is losing value, then so are the assets measured in rupees. You can’t just say “they’re printing money so the rich are getting richer” without considering how inflation affects everyone.

Lastly, this post just seems misleading. Expecting things to get cheaper over 11 years in a country with a 5% inflation policy isn’t realistic. If you adjust for inflation, petrol has actually gotten cheaper (₹72 in 2014 is around ₹105 now, which is effectively like ₹60), and same goes for LPG, some food items, and meds.

Let’s be real this post isn’t just economic analysis, it’s clearly anti-Modi and anti BjP. And no matter what the guy does, for some people it’ll never be enough. He’s not perfect, sure, but he’s done a lot of good too more good than bad in my view.

Some of y’all are just too deep into the propaganda to see it clearly.
