Raghuram Rajan 'mentally not fully Indian', sack him, Subramanian Swamy writes to PM Modi

[livingdead]

The man heading bank of England is a canadian... as far as he is capable, and have been vetted at highest level, I dont have any issues. Also, he is a good looking central banker.

That is because the Queen of England is still the Queen of Canada.

Canada still has british Monarchy as its head and the Canadian currency has the British queen's face on it.

India and US does not quite have the same relationship.

Rajan is one of the best banker in the world, if not the best. He's a proud Indian and we should he proud of him and his work.
I'm gonna be really upset if they don't renew his term when it finishes, which I think it's coming up.

There is no alternative of RR at this moment. Or is Swamy proposing himself to be the RBI governor?

We live in a professional world. Just imagine how many people of all origins work at Boeing, NASA or DARPA projects. Just changing their citizenship before joining wont reduce their patriotism towards their mother country.
But this is where Professionalism steps in. Do ur duty and be true to the place of ur work. Dr. Rajan is "just" an greencard holder and not an US citizen.

It would be amazing for you to know that some of the best known Indologists or Egyptologists are foreigners. I wouldnd mind even Japanese citizen heading RBI, if he understood Indian economy and the capability to lead it.

RR is fine. Our economy is about to take off.

I worked for DARPA for part of my PhD thesis. And I was the only Indian in the group.

Hmmm?

I wonder about your leanings. always seem to be straddling the fence with the foot on the Indian side barely touching.

This Green Card is not red herring being used by Swamy to rile the masses.

There are 2 main factors to this outburst and it has the backing of BJP (Party and not the govt)

Point 1: RR has been pretty loose with his mouth frequently. As RBI gov, he should be apolitical.


Point 2: High interest rates. If a Western company want to invest in India, they get capital from their govt at a partly interest rate of 2%, where as in India, the Interest rates are substantially high. This is a huge blow to Indian investors.

Proof of RR 'honesty' and loyalty to India.

hmm...I am sorry. Is that accurate?!!
That seems too damaging and I doubt the govt would let RR get away with it if it really happened!

Interesting. Raghuram Rajan is a US green card holder.

In most jobs that would be called "Conflict of Interest" ............ clearly in India anything goes. Maybe the next Chief Justice of SC can be a green card holder too.

Yes, but Green Card is not nationality certificate, but only a residency certificate. A Green card holder is an Indian citizen ,a NRI, who does not have to regularly apply for Visa while working in USA.

People apply for green card for sake of convenience and job security in US. If Raghuran Rajan would have wanted US citizenship, he would have been gifted one by US-Gov straight away.

His holding green card is not an issue here He is ultra-conservative (financially) and has kept interest rate relatively high for much longer than needed, and probably that's why SS does not like him; but an expansionary policy had equal or more potential of backfiring, especially in view of depreciation of Rupee.

RR is fine. Our economy is about to take off.

US has strict laws that give SECURITY CLEARANCE to people who work in sensitive and security high risk jobs.

They have laws that have STRICT JAIL TIME for people who breach this law. Its called ITAR. The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) which is a set of United States Government regulations on the export and import of defense- related articles and services.

First off, people can work for NASA or Boeing as a non-US citizen on a work visa (e.g. H1-B), but they will be segregated from the the rest of the employees and CAN NOT work on any projects that are ITAR. ONLY US persons are eligible to work in ITAR.

Secondly, in order to be considered a "U.S. Person" as defined under the ITAR, you don't need to be a US citizen, but just a US permanent resident ("green card holder")..

But wait, it does not end there. A few caveats still apply, for example even US citizens can be classified as non-U.S. persons if they are employed by foreign/foreign-owned companies.


So clearly the US govt. and Industries do not agree with your ignorant views.


To do your duty and be true to your place of work IS ENSURED by Single Indian Citizenship in India.


Finally RR was the RBI governor during the UPA term too. There was no economic miracle back then. So if our economy takes off NOW, it is no thanks to RR.

That's not entirely accurate sir.

H1 Visa is mostly auto-renewal. A person at the level RR functions does not require a Green Card to ensure job safety.

A Green Card is a necessary pre-cursor to citizenship but not a necessity for doing job in US.

Still, him being an Indian, RR holding Green Card is a minor matter.
