@vibhasjha1 sir, rbi has decided to hike repo rate by 50 bps. At times I wonder what qualitative difference does it actually make? Does a 50 bps rise, in reality, lead to more tightening as compared to a 40 bps rise?

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

@YousufNazar Sir, a small correction. I presume you're talking about 1991 reforms in India. At that time, PV Narsimha Rao was our PM, who fully backed Manmohan Singh to carry out the reforms, and not Sonia Gandhi.

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

Yes. Hindutva as a socio-political force is suited to medieval times, when our enemy came from West or Central Asia, and were primarily Muslims. Sooner it is shunned, the better it is. A theological Indian state is in no one's interests but China.

[FJ @Natsecjeff]

They won't allow few people and their statements to ruin all that. This is something that Hindu nationalists who are surprised how BJP has thrown its own spokeswoman under the bus need to understand. BJP is putting India's interests above those of a religious or political group.

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

@sahajtloi Precisely. We don't need a pro-Hindu sarkar, this is an euphoria. We need our GDP to be $ 15-20 Trillion, this ought to be a matter of collective shame that a jihadi sympathiser country like Qatar can bully us. China ko bol ke dikhaye, fir Maane...

@kartha_tara Shabaz Sharif since coming to power, has increased Army's budget, formalized their role, cut down education budget, disappearances continue, deal with TTP terrorists made without any Parliamentary oversight.... so, ma'am is he too 'selected' ?

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

@vibhasjha1 Sir, looking forward to your analysis of the economy section. 🙌

Sirji, can we expect a podcast this weekend?

I'm absolutely shattered. #moveon

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

@Tanmayvaidya5 @tilakdevasher1 Yes. Don't think even Indian politics can measure upto the same.

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

@Rezang_La Islamist extremism is a reality, but Kashmir isn't a communal issue. The inability of the state to look beyond the binaries of religion, will only compound the issue.

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

@vibhasjha1 Okay, sir.

Also, amongst the several factors cited by newspapers behind robust gst collection, none make mention of "pent-up demand". Is this a relevant/crucial factor?

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

@vibhasjha1 sir, our GST collections continue to be robust, signifying high growth potential, while, we will see K-Shaped recovery, a drag on our growth prospects. How to reconcile these two disparate outcomes? Fair to say GST collections will lose its momentum in future?

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

@thinker_karan The attitude/psyche of the people living now in Aryavarta makes me more sad. It is somehow tainting the legacy of the forefathers.

@TOLOnews @Natsecjeff From taunting the destruction of Somnath Mandir in Aug 2021 to this. Can't believe he's the same guy. 😂

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

I guess IK has lost favour & they are willing to accommodate Nawaz. Yet, what THEY don't want is Nawaz getting an absolute majority and thus want both (IK & PMLN) to remain relevant, so that the establishment's hold over national politics remains strong.

[FJ @Natsecjeff]

Only state interests are permanent. State has no permanent friends or enemies, internally or externally. Yesterday's dissenters could be today's patriots & today's patriots can be tomorrow's dissenters.

When you understand this, you will understand what's happening in Pakistan.

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

@MuminMalik13 Lol. Terrorists yesterday murdered a Kashmiri Muslim actress Amreen Bhat. Get your facts correct. Pak sponsored terrorism has made kashmir a hellhole

[Rakesh @Rakesh20221]

@javeednusrat Seems PMLN is desperately trying to revive "Vote ko izzat do 2.0", "civil supremacy" narrative, so that they have something to say in the polls. The fact that they are developing their strategy in response to IK implies, Khan has won this round.
