@mushfiq_econ @aikhwaja @Shanta_WB @karthik_econ @ProfVarshney @pbmehta @afosterri @SouthAsiaBrown I feel it has a lot of do with centuries of caste system and more than a millennium of practicing varna and jati discrimination by a large section in the region.And instead of facing and resolving this issue we are often in deinal.

@MichaelKantro @stevehouf A not forward looking market would mean that there is some significant change in future expectations and prices are not adjusting to reflect that, until that expectation is actually realized.
