ShapingTheFuture: Dynamics of Politics & Economy |DU Lit Fest| Dr. Ashok K Lahiri, Gautam Chikermane

An overt truth that came out from the discussion over the book "India In Search of Glory: Political Calculus and Economy" is that In Indian politics, the focus on long-term growth policies over short-term freebies is crucial for sustainable development and successful re-elections. Good policies, particularly those geared toward education, health, and infrastructure, play a significant role in shaping the country's future. Infrastructure development and ease of doing business are essential for India's growth, while job creation must be aligned with overall economic expansion. The emphasis on manufacturing, balanced welfare systems, and sustained economic growth is imperative for India's future prosperity.

In universal income biggest hurdle is our mindset, money will get out of financial system.

[@user-mh9wb7sm6j]

Dude , it is simpler - subsidies work till the money runs out.

Hindu rate of growth is because of nehruvian policy of socialism
Instead of blaming nehru we blame hindus to save nehru

Why is he having so much hate against Brahmins

[@NAUG8Y]

Sir I don't want you to do a video but I want to tell you that Acharya Prashant has created woke minded people, Buddhs and Modi haters through his channel. He is highlighting comments of those who say things against Modiji. He is giving false narratives about how Neta should be like not caring to others and whatnot.

[@ns1001]

Hindu rate of growth!! All those apologists expect to take it as humor always. They will shit in their pants to say islamic rate of growth leads to Afghanistan or Pakistan or to any other type.

[@NAUG8Y]

😢Isn't Acharya Prashant creating woke people?
