Jai Maharashtra,

Two days ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to Indians to adopt austerity. Reduce gold purchases, avoid unnecessary foreign travel, consume less petrol and diesel, shift to electric vehicles, and embrace work-from-home practices. Why? Because gold and crude oil are imported, and they drain precious foreign exchange reserves. And with the Iran conflict escalating, global crude prices have surged sharply.

Fair enough. But the Prime Minister and senior leaders continue to travel across the country with massive convoys, roadshows, helicopters, flower showers, and extravagant political campaigns. Will the prime minister admit that ‘such political excesses were our mistake, and all of us including me, will not repeat it’? Why should the common man suffer for your mistakes? Is austerity meant only for the citizen and never for the political class?

Crude oil today is hovering around 90–100 dollars per barrel. But this is not the first time the world has seen such prices. During the 2008 financial crisis, during the Arab Spring of 2011–12, and the 2013–14 phase (when the BJP itself aggressively attacked the UPA over fuel prices) and again during the OPEC production cuts in 2022–23, crude prices had similarly touched these levels. During 3-4 such periods Dr. Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister. Narendra Modi himself held the position once. Dr. Manmohan Singh did not ask citizens to stop travelling abroad. Narendra Modi himself did not make such appeals earlier either. So why now? When global crude prices had fallen to nearly 60–65 dollars per barrel, Indian citizens were still paying extremely high prices for petrol and diesel because of heavy taxation. The government earned lakhs of crores through fuel taxes. Where did that money go?

The Prime Minister once mocked the “freebie culture.” Yet elections - from Maharashtra to Bihar to West Bengal - are increasingly fought and won through precisely such populist giveaways. In Maharashtra, the ‘Ladki Bahin’ scheme has put tremendous strain on state finances. Instead of genuinely empowering women through jobs, education, and safety, governments distribute temporary cash benefits while inflation silently takes back much of that money. If the economic situation is indeed serious, will the Prime Minister openly ask all political parties to stop competitive populism?

The PM now asks citizens to reduce fuel consumption. Fine. But why did this wisdom not emerge during massive election campaigns involving thousands of vehicles, endless roadshows, and the transport of lakhs of supporters across states like West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala? That itself would have burnt crores of liters of petrol and diesel. This didn’t occur to you when massive money power was wielded to gain votes there? Citizens are also being advised to avoid foreign travel. But how many Indians can afford international travel today? Even the middle class that can afford it is living under constant job insecurity. Students wish to study abroad because India has not invested deeply enough in higher education over the last decade, nor created enough confidence in domestic institutions. All you seem to be interested in is imposition of Hindi.

Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors have been steadily pulling money out of Indian markets. Estimates suggest that nearly ₹1.5 lakh crore has exited over the past few months. The Prime Minister and his Chief Ministers travel to colder climates to cement investment deals. But if they are making those deals with Indian companies, why even go to Switzerland for it? The Prime Minister himself is embarking on another multi-country foreign tour beginning May 15. First cancel these travels and then preach austerity.

I'm voicing concerns of CAs in India and abroad. They are the gatekeepers of our businesses and crisis managers, operationalizing government policies. Despite their crucial role, they feel threatened, with privacy and confidentiality at risk.

I urge a CA Protection Act to safeguard them.

The Big Four (Deloitte, PWC, E&Y, and KPMG) dominate India's audit scene, with huge mandates. We must encourage Indian CA firms to grow and reduce their influence.

ठाकरे पॉलिटिक्स आणि पवार पॉलिटिक्स एकाच वेळी निष्प्रभ करण्याची खेळी देवेंद्र फडणवीस खेळत आहेत. त्यासाठी ते सत्तेचा पुरेपूर वापर करत आहेत. या वापराबद्दल आक्षेप असले पाहिजेत.

पण ठाकरे पवारांना हा धडा आहे.

This photograph from the Ashes triggered a train of thoughts.

The crowd walks into the glorious SCG to enjoy the presentation ceremony up close.

That right there shows that the Australian cricket board cares about the fan experience.

In India, the fans have to make do with crammed seats and expensive food.

On the other hand, the fans, too, were civilised and respectful, and didn't jump their favorite players. They love their cricket more than they love their cricketers.

The trophy was handed over by a cricket legend in Steve Waugh, not an administrator or a sponsor.

The whole series, despite being a one sided affair, seemed like a proper celebration of the game.

The broadcasting was top notch. Better angles, insightful analysis, and no cringeworthy fan boying over star players.

I guess it all eventually boils down to whether you want to build a sporting culture or just mint revenue while pretending to care about the game.

I know which side I'd rather be on.

Cricket gyaan: move over BAZBALL, TESTBALL lives on. ‘Intent’ matters but Australia won Ashes because TEST cricket is about mind and skill sets above all else. Puts into context also what a remarkable achievement it was for India to win in Australia in 2018 and 2021. #Ashes2025
