Contribution of Dr Ahluwalia to modern Indian economy will be written in golden letters. For people like him and their out of box thinking, we are better off now. Govt could use his intelligence for more reform not only in economics but in other spheres of common people.

Spoken like a true bureaucrat. The best people should be hired from wherever they are. Bureaucrats should be promoted based their performance rather than tenure. That will fix this problem of bureaucrats being jealous of “outsiders”.

It was neither Jairam Ramesh, nor Pranab Mukherji, nor Aluwalia nor Dr Manmohan Singh & PV Narsimha Rao duo who can be credited for economic reforms. Universally failure is treated like an orphan ; and success like a bastard. Many take or accept credit for fathering success. It was IMF that laid strict conditions for bailout loans. India was desperate for dollars to foot imports bill. Former PM Chandra Shekhar had to mortgage gold to avoid payment defaults. So it was IMF that forced (rather armtwisted) Dr MMS & PVNR duo to undertake economic reforms, that mainly included scrapping license permit Raj, trade and banking reforms. Otherwise these Congress die hards had neither willingness nor courage to junk out Nehru's failed socialist vintage economic policies. Thanks to IMF

You are not allowed to say the truth this loud.

Imf laid conditions for macro reforms to reduce fd and cad. Going ahead with micro reforms was the decision of indian leadership to restructure indian economy. Banking, industrial reforms which went on till late 90's were not forced upon by imf.

@@yourneighbour304 What are those “macro reforms “ ? Don’t scrapping licenses / protections limit , banking reforms come under macro ? Attend job interinterviews well dressed by default include hair dressing, shoe shining, nail cutting and a face wash too. No one specifies every step. BTW have you read about IMF laying conditions for Pakistan to raise electricity and oil prices? Are those Nacro or Micro reforms? Thanks

From this interview, ppl should realize we are a true democracy, there was no holding back on the questions or the answers

What the duo could do in 10 years is well known among the educated.

I was surprised that Subramaniam Swamy's name did not figure in the discussion. He frequently claims to have authored the reforms

First Rajaji warned of socialism and named it as License raj. Second Subramanian samy wanted to move to capitalism and have registered his views in parliament during 70s! Manmohan was following socialism and nationalized all banks!

Sir every one even me also agree for 1991 reforms being ground breaking for India growth door opening. But those reforms were mandated by IMF for taking loan.

He did explain that they did a lot more than only what the IMF had mandated

Very nice insight and moral of the story is 1) we need more political will to reform the policy from Education to tax& trade 2) surely it would have been great if instead of illiterate politicians these gentlemen would have been ministers but irony is that they themselves cant win a Panchayat election! 😂 Ex-PM Dr Manmohan singh ji lost in general elections in south delhi (the most elite and knowledgeable ppls place) the bottleneck question is: 1) what policies India should bring to make the general people more aware because surely engineers or doctors or any trade which is considered to be as knowledgeable are voted! 2) even if you bring the best of services like tejas, vande bharat etc! How you give the “sanskar”/basic awareness bcz at the end the service will be used by user!

People who do podcasts should undergo speech training. Mastery of a subject is sufficient for print media. It is not so for KZbin videos.

@ayushkumarsingh6020 Ай бұрын

Modiji should include people like Montek sir in institutions like NITI Aayog.

@rajeevbhatnagar6495 3 ай бұрын

You are bent upon taking credit away from PV Narasimha Rao. All the gentlemen - like Jairam Ramesh, etc - were there before PV and continued after, However, it was PV who took the risks and made the changes. // PS: Montek is fine and I have read his bokk cover-to-cover. But Jairam is more of a politician and his words are difficult to trust.

Mr. Ahluwalia is a legend and should be involved in the policymaking regardless of his previous political affiliations. My only disagreement with him is his too much emphasis in climate change. I don't it is as big of a problem as Mr. Ahluwalia makes it out to be. Majority of our focus should be on economic development. The West developed causing pollution, war and destruction around the world but they want us to slow the progress and focus on reducing CO2 emission? Sounds ridiculous to me 😅
