Worst Economic Times we underwent in his Watch .........he should write Op-Eds for Fin Times , WaPo and New Woke Times and save his usefulness in front of his American Handlers to retain his Green Card and other perks. I would say this guy was Moeed Yusuf of Economics in India. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is there any additional comments on how our generation (younger mainly who are graduating nowadays) would see the upcoming job opportunity in indian economy both in pvt and public sector.. Like in one hand we are facing pandemic and on other the monetization of PSUs, so wanted to know your valuable comments to overcome of this problem!!

A great discussion. Dr. Rajan comes across as intelligent, articulate, forthright with his immense knowledge and foresight. A person of his caliber is required to lead a country like India through the dark times we are facing.

[@tushargarg7174]

Great show. So much to learn from Dr Rajan. I wish he was given an opportunity to execute the brilliance he is blessed with ! Indian should develop respect for expertise, it will help indeed !

As Mr. Rajan notes that income inequality has come down in developed countries due to the transfers/COVID relief... My question is, will this be a temporal fall in inequality or will it last in the times to come when things return back to normal

Does he know India had and continues to be heavily focused on vaccine production independent as well as under a 'QUAD' plan to meet the needs of many countries - either totally free or at a nominal cost? In fact India supplied vaccine free to over 100 countries instead of being selfish like many western countries including America! Does this guy know America instantly denied assistance to India when needed whereas India readily assited USA when Trump called PM Modi of India!.

[@manojkothwal3586]

1. He knows very well in fact when he was RBI Governor he used to spend Six Months in a year in the US to retain his Green Card ......... 2. Imagine an RBI Governor our country's most crucial institution used to spend Six Months in US getting updates as to what must he do to ensure Gaslighting of Indian Economy under the UPA on another renowned Economist Manmohan Singh's watch ........ 3.The US Intelligence and State Machinery had struck a gold mine when their asset became the Head of RBI. 4.These are Colonial Slaves that the British left behind and every other expansionist power exploited. Honestly ! This guy should stick to interviews with another Emminent Buffoon Raul Vinci serves his Green Card and intellect right.

Andhbhakhts? I am sure you are talking about yourself. These geniuses, Kongi lackeys, for the 55 years that they ruled could not build toilets for over half the population and these geniuses never gave advise on that.

[@sachinsidh4198]

@@parikshitsharda4377 @parikshit sharda YOURS IS A VERY SOLID ARGUMENT 💯, I'll try my best to put my point. First, back in my school days a teacher used to tell us about the great great policies of gujarat government, and later when i saw some of his really great speeches (not the one where he is giving election speeches but like where he's talking to experts of some particular field) and few interviews like about the toilet campaign and the reason behind it, i would say MR. MODI SURELY DESERVES RESPECT FOR HIS WORKS. Now coming to Professor Rajan, essentially what i want to say is, if you read all of his research papers & books you'll realize the immense hardship in research he has done and we must value & utilize his expertise. If you see RBI's 80th anniversary video there too Mr. Modi has addressed & appreciated Prof. Rajan, and always backed him in his term. I'm saying some people just dislike or argue for no reason, it's like dhruv rathee saying well others are biased journalists and m the best whereas all he does is only criticizing & never appreciating a single work of government. And to the fact that they never worked on toilets issue, if you say this about prof. Rajan would be like saying what's so great about this doctor he never built a bridge to any village, well thats not what doctors do. People should criticize with relevant facts, like dr. Subramanian swamy said Prof. Rajan's high interest rate policies would have affected small industries. Which was a very strong argument (with facts). It was only because statistics back then showed that nothing affected MSME's, moreover they grew better, that's why his argument got a little weaker otherwise very good argument. This was what i said about the eligibility of critics. But at the same time Dr. Swamy saying, prof. rajan's not an indian and questioning his nationality was a reckless & irrelevant criticism.

[@rightdirection55]

Rajan sir is right about leadership crisis round the globe. Practically, no present constitutional head of any country can be called a statesman. All are only motivated and focused to power and possession. None have tried to reach the grassroot level of basic needs of billions of common people with sensitivity and empathy. Instead, they are more inclined to promote corporatisation of global crises and reaping their fruits.

[@dineshkumarsnair7964]

How can an original, brilliance of Dr Rajan can be accomodated with in the Modi dynasty who profess no need of Harvard mental acumen but hardwork of a Gujrathi is the need of the hour.. Just look at the present finance minister who is just like bull seeing a red signal when Dr Rajan says anything honest but critical of her decisons.. Dr Rajan do not have a place in the present India under the pied piper ecosystem..
