Being the 5th largest economy 'impressive,' but per capita income must also rise, says ex-RBI Governor  https://www.deccanherald.com/business/being-the-5th-largest-economy-impressive-but-per-capita-income-must-also-rise-says-ex-rbi-governor-2689078  16 September 2023 Rangarajan said post Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war, there is a need to lay down a clear roadmap for India’s future development and the first and foremost task is to raise the growth rate.... In 2020, India’s rank with respect to per capita income was 142 out of 197 countries.  According to calculations, he said, if the country achieves a seven per cent rate of growth continuously over the next two decades and more, it will make a substantial change to the level of the economy and India may almost touch the status of a developed economy. India needs to absorb the new technologies.. though the new technologies may lower the employment elasticity with respect to output

Is R&AW the new Mossad? India’s image turns from ‘soft State’ to hard under Modi and Doval https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/is-raw-the-new-mossad-indias-image-turns-from-soft-state-to-hard-under-modi-and-doval-13144392.html  Abhijit Majumder September 20, 2023

The new ‘hard State’ label is a byproduct of National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval’s ‘defensive offence’ doctrine, in which you go and attack the place where the offence is coming from. As NSA, he set his doctrine into motion with a terse but eloquent warning to Pakistan: “You do one more Mumbai, you lose Balochistan.”

And from the beginning of Narendra Modi’s prime ministership, we have witnessed defensive offence in motion. The 2015 Myanmar cross-border operation against Naga militants, the 2016 post-Uri attack surgical strike across the LoC, and Balakot airstrike of 2019 after the Pulwama terror attack were a dramatic departure from India’s former policy of masochistic restraint.
