In this episode with Salil Tripathi, Part 2, joining Amit Dosh for a Global Politics discussion on how the US and China dominate global power dynamics, Tripathi ties these themes into India’s struggle with free speech and rising religious nationalism, as explored in his book Offence: The Hindu Case. Tripathi underscores the erosion of India’s secular ideals, urging a return to pluralism and robust legal safeguards for artistic freedom against politicized censorship. This analysis serves as a timely warning against the dangers of religious extremism and the state’s complicity in undermining democratic values.Elon Musk & Donald Trump are dominating the US vs China game.

On November 12, the DRDO conducted the maiden flight test of the Long-Range Land Attack Cruise Missile (LRLACM), successfully meeting all mission objectives. Just days later, on November 16, India achieved another milestone by testing its first long-range hypersonic missile, joining an elite club of nations with this cutting-edge capability.What makes these tests so special?In this episode, host Dev Goswami and defence expert Shiv Aroor analyse their significance for India's defence landscape. What do these tests reveal about India's growing missile technology? How do they enhance the country's strategic position globally?The LRLACM test was especially significant because it showcased the Manik engine, a homegrown development representing a major advancement in the country's missile propulsion technology.Are these breakthroughs sufficient to ensure India's self-reliance in defence technology?Looking back at the evolution of missile technology, the duo traces its journey from primitive war implements to sophisticated systems like the BrahMos. How has this technological evolution transformed modern warfare and diplomacy?Moreover, they revisit the legacy of the BrahMos project as a model of international collaboration and technological growth.Tune in!Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound mix by Sachin DwivediBinge on the previous episodes here:How India hit it out of the park with the legendary BrahMos cruise missile: https://podcasts.indiatoday.in/politics-&-history/in-our-defence/how-india-hit-it-out-of-the-park-with-the-legendary-brahmos-cruise-missile-in-our-defence-s02-ep-21-991112-2024-04-25Hypersonic missiles tested in Iran-Israel conflict: Game-changer in modern warfare? https://podcasts.indiatoday.in/politics-&-history/in-our-defence/hypersonic-missiles-tested-in-iran-israel-conflict-game-changer-in-modern-warfare-in-our-defence-s02-ep-42-1101993-2024-10-04America to blame for Tejas delay? https://podcasts.indiatoday.in/politics-&-history/in-our-defence/america-to-blame-for-tejas-delay-in-our-defence-s02-ep-31-1052148-2024-07-18
Why does 50% of India's workforce remain in agriculture while the U.S. has just 2%?Despite all those hands in the soil, the sector contributes just 15-18% to the GDP. While countries like the U.S. and Europe shifted quickly from agriculture to industry, India's progress was pretty slow. So, is it too late for India to catch up and move on from agriculture?Although India did build textile mills and steel plants, its industrialization lagged behind faster-growing Asian economies like Japan, South Korea, and China, which aggressively pursued manufacturing.So, what happened? Well, India's focus remained on agriculture, missing the chance to build a strong industrial base that could absorb its large agricultural workforce. But there's a new hurdle—manufacturing isn't the job creator it once was.Experts like Subhash Garg argue India may have missed the industrialization train. With automation reducing labour needs, ramping up manufacturing might not create enough jobs for India's vast workforce.In this episode of The Neon Show, Subhash Garg, former Secretary of Economic Affairs, shares his unique perspective on India's economic ambitions and the journey toward the $10 Trillion Dream.Check out Subhash Garg's book, We Also Make Policy : An Insider's Account of How the Finance Ministry Functions, https://www.amazon.in/We-Also-Make-Policy-Functions/dp/9356994714Timestamps00:00 - Trailer01:25 - Subhash Garg's background in economic affairs03:27 - Why has India's "10 Trillion Dollar Dream" dented10:04 - India's current GDP12:50 - Need to shift labour from agriculture to high-value sectors16:48 - Why India missed industrialisation20:26 - The global manufacturing train left—and India missed it21:55 - Why should you invest in services for real growth26:55 - Sports, gaming, and entertainment are hidden gems for rural jobs29:54 - Why is agriculture unreformed31:34 - The impact of subsidies: is it a dead-end for farmers?36:47 - Garg explains GDP with the “potato chip” example42:42 - Why is farmers' share of the final product small47:10 - India's manufacturing needs a tech boost48:22 - Why India's PLI schemes aren't hitting their targets52:58 - How India's service sector thrived due to minimal regulation1:01:57 - Garg's positive take on brain drain1:10:10 - Millionaires on the move1:11:50 - Support for short sellers as market correctors1:13:12 - Announcement of Garg's book, expected in October-------------Hi, I am your host Siddhartha!

In 1947, India gained independence with a per capita of around $2000(adjusted with inflation).But over the next few decades, the govt adopted socialist policies, emphasising self-sufficiency and state-led development. As a result, India's economy grew at a slower pace of 3.5% per year.In 1991, India introduced a series of reforms— liberalisation, privatisation, and globalisation. India's growth rate picked up, and by 2023, India's per capita GDP was back to $2,600, driven by market-friendly policies and increased global trade.In this episode of the NEON Show, Krishnamurthy Subramanian, Executive Director at the IMF, explains how India can become a $55 trillion economy by 2047.To learn more read India @100 : Envisioning Tomorrow's Economic Powerhouse Connect with Krishnamurthy Subramanian Linkedin | Twitter---------Timestamp01:20 – The power of compounding in GDP04:55 – Chess game story that explains the power of compounding06:19 – Rule of 72 to understand how money doubles09:06 – How India will become a $55 trillion economy by 204712:33 – Thalinomics to understand inflation14:20 – What is money in economic terms?17:22 – Why was the inflation-targeting regime introduced post-1991?20:30 – Inflation's effects on currency26:42 – How does a currency react to economic shocks?30:34 – India's GDP in 1947 vs today31:28 – How socialist policies potentially held India back34:40 – Capitalism has always been in India's DNA44:31 – How socialist policies have hurt Indian farmers57:22 – Is agriculture a state subject?59:59 – How India's growth is linked to productivity01:09:30 – China's GDP vs India's GDP01:16:48 – Why India is a top investment destination01:26:10 – Indian startups should innovate differently-------------Hi, I am your host Siddhartha!

How the 1991 crisis got India to rethink its economic approach.By early 1991, India's reserves were nearly gone.The government took a desperate step—it sent 67,000Kg of gold abroad to secure a loan from the IMF.This was a last-ditch effort to avoid default, but it only bought a little time. But soon, the govt collapsed again, leading to a new election.In June 1991, P.V. Narasimha Rao became Prime Minister, and he chose Manmohan Singh as his Finance Minister— and things changed.Rao and Singh quickly implemented reforms: they removed restrictive licensing, welcomed foreign investment, and eased machinery imports.The 1991 crisis forced India to rethink its economic approach—it highlighted the risks of heavy borrowing and too much government control. But it also showed that when things get tough, bold decisions can turn a bad situation into an opportunity.In this episode of the NEON Show, Rajrishi Singhal, a senior journalist, banker, shares his deep insights into India's economic reforms and financial sector. Singhal offers a nuanced perspective on why India's economic progress hasn't met expectations, touching on issues from private sector investment to the success of reforms during coalition governments.-------------Timestamp 00:00 - Introduction to the podcast and guest, Rajrishi Singhal.01:23 - Corruption in India and its impact on the economy05:30 - how demonetization was not to take out corruption07:06 - Rajiv Gandhi was the original ‘Accidental Prime Minister'12:29 - What pushed us into the 1991 crisis14:45 - Raids on reliance industries 18:57 - How India almost went bankrupt21:45 - Complexities of India's banking system19:15 - What are regional rural banks (RRBs)25:26 - Corruption's impact on investments.28:41 - Why doesn't India have more new banks32:00 - Why private sector investments in India have been limited34:25 - Success of reforms during coalition governments40:26 - Foreign investors' concerns about sudden policy changes in India41:26 - Impact of demonetization on the Indian economy-------------Hi, I am your host Siddhartha!

The Identity Project: The Unmaking of a Democracy is a new book by the journalist Rahul Bhatia.

He's written celebrated profiles of everyone from Arnab Goswami to cricket chief N. Srinivasan. And his reporting has taken on subjects from Baba Ramdev's business empire to the COVID-19 pandemic.His new book is based on six years of research and reportage from across India, where he set out on a quest to understand the ideological moorings of what we have come to call “the New India.” To talk more about his book and the state of democracy in India, Rahul joins Milan on the podcast this week.The two discuss Rahul's reporting on Aadhaar—India's unique biometric identification program—and its precursors, the Hindu nationalist push for a new national citizenship regime, and the inner workings of the Indian state's coercive power. Plus, the two discuss whether and how the results of India's 2024 election have been a setback to the cause of Hindu nationalism.Episode notes:1.

Recently, a father and his son died in Visakhapatnam after their pet dog bit them. Reports say that they did not take the anti-rabies vaccine soon enough. Rabies is one of the oldest zoonotic diseases. People are often bitten by street dogs, who are present in great numbers in both cities, and villages of the country. With around 60 million free-ranging dogs, India arguably has the biggest population of street dogs in the world. Most of these dogs aren't vaccinated against rabies. Most of the rabies cases are dog-mediated. The WHO says that low awareness of the need to seek healthcare after dog bites claims the lives of 55000 people each year globally, mostly in Asia and Africa. True burden of rabies in India is not fully known, but as per given information, it causes 18000 to 20,000 deaths each year. This episode was brilliantly reported by Mahima Jain which got a special mention at One World Media's Podcast and Radio Award in 2022. The podcast takes you through the many factors that complicate rabies control and dog welfare in India. The episode talks about: The link between street dogs and India's struggles with rabies elimination. The kind of treatment that is effective against rabies, and how the Indian healthcare system poses a challenge in providing effective care for those who contract rabies. How India ended up with an overpopulation of street dogs Potential barriers in implementing the National Action Plan for Rabies Elimination by 2030 References Man, son die of rabies after pet dog bites them in Visakhapatnam - The Hindu Rabies as a Public Health Concern in India—A Historical Perspective Overview of Animal Laws in India Centers For Disease Control and Prevention: Global Rabies Work US National Library of Medicine: Striking back against rabies Burden of illness of dog-mediated rabies in India: A systematic review Modelling the challenges of managing free-ranging dog populations WHO Rabies: Rabies News: India sees 1.75 million dog bites every year, yet we face up to 80% shortage of anti-rabies vaccines Rabies deaths down by a third in three years in India, but snakebites continue to kill | Health - Hindustan Times In the Himalayas, growing population of feral dogs poses threat to wildlife, humans – Firstpost Over 300 dogs poisoned to death by Andhra village panchayat, alleges activist 5 doses over days, keep rabies away - The Hindu See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.
On Sunday night, India's new National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government was sworn into office, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at its helm once more.We have a new group of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) allies, a new group of ministers, and a new look in terms of how the Modi government will function in its third term. However, the economic challenges the new government faces are quite old.Many experts believe that concerns about inflation, jobs, and lack of upward mobility dented the BJP's electoral prospects in the recent general election. To talk about the Indian economy and the steps the new government must take, Milan is joined on the show this week by Trinh Nguyen.Trinh is a senior economist covering emerging Asia at Natixis, based in Hong Kong, where she surveys economic trends across Asia, including in India. She previously worked at HSBC as an ASEAN economist from 2011 to 2015. She is also a nonresident scholar in the Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.Trinh and Milan discuss the market reaction to the surprise 2024 election result, the key vulnerabilities for the Indian economy, and how India is performing relative to its Asian peers. Plus, the two discuss India's ability to leverage the “China+1” moment, the recent slump in foreign direct investment (FDI), and whether coalition government spells doom for reforms.Episode notes:“Political Earthquakes: Key 2024 Elections in Emerging Markets and What it Means for Growth and Reforms,” Natixis, June 4, 2024.Trinh Nguyen, Kelly Wang, and Diana Zhao, “Lower current account deficit shields India from external shocks and future success hinges on sustaining it,” Natixis, May 29, 2024.Trinh Nyugen and Kelly Wang, “Modi Drove Growth with Public Investment, Supported by Higher Fiscal Revenue; Foreign Inflows Should Help with Funding Pressure,” Natixis, April 12, 2024.Trinh Nguyen and Kelly Wang, “India's Womenomics?

On March 11, the Indian Defense Research and Development Organization conducted the maiden test of its Agni-V MIRV (Multiple Independently Targetable Re-Entry Vehicle) missile. MIRV capability is a complex technology and there are only a handful of countries that have developed it.The test represents a breakthrough for India's missile program but it's also prompted warnings of a new arms race in the Indo-Pacific, a region already marked by sharpening geopolitical rivalries. To discuss India's missile program, its defense posture, and its emerging space policy, Milan is joined on the show this week by Ankit Panda. Ankit is the Stanton Senior Fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He's an expert on the Asia-Pacific region and his work encompasses nuclear strategy, arms control, missile defense, nonproliferation, and emerging technologies.Ankit and Milan discuss the significance of India's MIRV test and the new “missile age” in the Indo-Pacific. Plus, the two discuss the China-India-Pakistan triangle, the importance of India's 2019 anti-satellite test, and the future of India's space policy.Episode notes:1.
