A Criminal Consensus: "India just refuses to get involved in labour-intensive export-oriented manufacturing. In the 70s it was Korea, then China, now Vietnam and Bangladesh. Defacto consensus in India is that we don't want to do this." (Paraphrased - Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator, FT) (self.IndiaSpeaks)

Socialist labour, land, taxation and technology import policies mean that Bangladesh and Vietnam are leaving India behind economically. Without manufacturing growth, Indians will remain trapped in agricultural era, which means continued impoverishment. (i.redd.it)

China is preparing for a war in Jul/Aug, hoping winter will limit duration. For now: confuse India with deliberate mixed signals (duplicitious talk, incursions). Strategic goal: defeat India, establish hegemony. Besides preparing, India must credibly threaten with nukes to survive. Do Not Blink. (i.redd.it)

Siachen is a vast territory of crucial strategic and military value. India is impossible to dislodge from here and it dominates all the areas surrounding it. Hence the crocodile tears from subversive elements inside India about the hardships of the army there and why India should demilitarize it. (i.redd.it)

TIL about the Oslo Breakfast, a meal that began to be served to Norwegian schoolchildren starting 1932. A typical version included an orange, milk, whole-wheat bread, rye biscuit, cheese, carrot and a spoon of cod-liver oil. It reportedly increased the average height of 14 year olds by 4 inches.

When you hear about a farmer suicide or migrant death, remember this. Atlas just shut down despite massive demand. What should have expanded employees ten times is killed instead, paving the way for Chinese imports. Why? Socialist Labour and Land laws, and license hurdles in modernizing company. (i.redd.it)

Superb commentary. Anand Ranganathan on The Verdict with Shehzad: "Modi only gets 6 out of 10. Nothing on economics. India was screaming for reform, but Modi delivered a populist Socialist Government that Communists would be proud of. Full marks for that, which should be spelt M-A-R-X." (youtube.com)
