Enough with the stupidity, my friend. Are you aware of something called - financing of the CAD?? It is possible for countries to continue for years with a Current Account Deficit, by developing mechanisms to finance this deficit. And india has more than enough financial muscle to tackle these...

crocodiles - brute strength...

Haven't you and your kind from BD openly admitted, here, that your govt massages numbers to continue enjoying benefits that are allowed for LDCs?!

I am not arriving at any conclusion, hence not offering any analysis. I am merely stating some very obvious facts, for some perspective.

This is the problem with economics these days. Throw in a twisted logic with some jargon and almost anyone can get away with "analysis". For starters, its only a problem IF you don't have a solution. You mentioned a range of problems. Indian inflation rates have lowered recently, with the...

Martial Law. Given the chaos in the country and the respect that the military commands - the only way out of the mess is martial law. Also, if i am not mistaken, pakistan witnessed the highest growth rates under military regimes. There's no room for the carrot and the stick approach, at least...

Can ideology and political agenda change overnight? At least, that is the message Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Chairperson and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia carried when she arrived in India on October 28 for an eight-day visit. Begum Zia came at the invitation of the Government...

Selectively highlighting facts in the desperate hope of upholding a flimsy hypothesis - is a great trick that you should save for your blog. Either that or you find it convinient to indulge in hypocrisy. You have an issue with the UNDP granting India a higher HDI ranking merely because the...

Click on the following link - GHI Data | International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) It has two attachments. The first being the raw data that IFPRI has considered to arrive at the index. The data has been broadly categorized into 3 parts - "proportion of undernourished in the...

Lets not get stupid here. You can do better than that. India is an energy starved nation. We need to import massive amounts of oil because we need it. Does that mean that the oil suppliers need us more than we need them?!? Stupidity aside, the market is an equal platform allowing for price...

Doesn't India account for over 10% of BD's imports?! A high handed attitude with a large partner is not advisable.

If you could've, you would've.

I firmly disagree with any move to allow BD access to nearly half of teesta's waters. Though I could be wrong, but as far as I understand no other existing water sharing pact in the world (with the obvious exception of the Indus Water Pact) has been generous enough to provide the lower riparian...

hahahah...this has got to be embarrassing for the BD folk on PDF. She was pitched as a bazooka, instead she turned out to be a squirt gun.

Mr. Haq. The bull that ONE analyst sees is restricted to liquidity based surge in inflows. The inflows that he is referring to are with respect to FIIs. FII inflows are widely accepted as volatile and unreliable and fickle. A better indicator of buoyancy in the local economy - FDI - paints a...

India has some serious ground to cover. The fastest that India has, if i remember correctly, is about 400 teraflop.

Spare us your pseudo-warren Buffett investment philosophies. Business risk means the possibility of investments not fructifying. Business risk does not mean endagering life and limb.

This proposal by the PCB does not make sense on so many levels. For instance, ipl teams are backed by wealthy indian companies. Eg - RIL backs Mumbai Indians. For some perspective - RIL, by 2015, will have a market cap almost as big as BD's current GDP. in terms of bidding for players, will...

Contrary to what some of us might like to believe, i think the Author is BANG on target. The arrival of Starbucks is, again, subconsciously perceived by many as a sign of approval by an emissary of glorified western lifestyles. Pretty much like the response to Formula 1 in Delhi. For instance...

While it is imperative to choke out the naxal movement, overkill is hardly the solution. Longer term plans, focusing on land, education and micro credit is the way to go. This move might be seen as a pacifist approach, with a long gestation period, but fruits of the effort will be well worth it.
