Rituals are a reminder of restraint, says Economist Bibek Debroy | ThinkEdu 2022

Although Indian religious texts are rooted in Science, we still seek validation from the West, said #BibekDebroy, Chairman, PM's Economic Advisory Council, in conversation with author and journalist, Gautam Chikermane, while speaking on the topic 'Scriptural Knowledge in a High-tech World'. He added, "We often use Western notions and terms and that is also true of words like spirituality and religion. Religion etymologically carries with it a connotation of rules, dogma and ism. I prefer the word Dharma which is much more significant. Similarly, Adhyathmik for spirituality," said Bibek at the 10th edition of #ThinkEdu Conclave, organised by The New Indian Express on March 9. #India

Superb!!,simply a Superb emphasis of spirituality and religion. These English speaking anchor are mental slave of western philosophy and they often fail in perceiving Sanatan Indian Indian way of life.

I am all respects to Bibek Debroy.

[@anandaprasadaraoappasani1923]

Bibek Debroy, Hinduism is no “ism”. Hinduism is not a religion. Rituals are not dogmas. They are simply procedures.

[@debapratimbhattacharjee1569]

For the lack of a better word in English. He has said this time and again.

Always an enlightening experience to hear Bibekji.

Mr. Debroy is a true intellectual.

[@raseshwarichonkar5513]

These should be our popular icons. When thinking and pondering on our dharma and ethos becomes the norm we will grow as a race and nation independent of blind aping of the west and see ourselves for who we really are. It is only then that decolonizing of our minds will begin

The biggest scandal in India is the sale of a Vizag steel plant, a company worth Rs 5 lakh crore, which is selling for Rs 30,000 crore. The government investment in vizag steel plant was 4850crores but it's given 45000crores to the government in the form of dividend and more over GST and income taxes extra. Actually vizag steel plant had profits until 2015 from there intentionally modi government creating losses ,because if anyone want to kill a dog ,u must shown it's a mad dog ,same way modi showing its is a loss company to sell for their deeds .already in Andhra Pradesh people known how gangavaram port had been gone to adhani which is 20000crore port for just 8000crores with forcefully,in our India crony capitalists using power of politicians and cbi, ed they can do anything for them . Thinking of how the steel plant could bring in losses, it did not have its own iron mines so it bought raw material from NMDC, which was later handed over to it by the Modi government to adhani ,as it had no steel plant and they started selling iron ore to the Vizag steel plant at a higher rate. The government alloted iron ore mines to Tata and Jindal's private steel plants at a lower rate and not alloted to the public sector company Vizag Steel Plant, so Tata Jindal Steel Plant bought iron ore 700rs for tonne and Rs 6500 per tonne for the same Vizag steel plant, which accounted for 55% of the raw material cost of companies productivity. Vizag Steel Plant is the only steel plant in Asia with sea ports, international airport, railway, road connectivity, so its value is much higher. Vizag Steel plant has 22000 acres of land, valued at Rs 2 lakh crore above and the plant valued at Rs 1 lakh crore, as well as mines in Jaggampet in Krishna district, mines in Cheepurupalli, rail wheel plant in Rae Bareli, mines in Khammam and mines in Orissa. Total vizag steel plant is 5 lakh crore ruppes including brand value. But the Modi government is prepared to sell it for Rs 30,000 crore. The Vizag Steel Plant has now tendered Rs 17 lakh to argue the legal issues, actually this legal company takes fees in crores ruppes for a case ,but in the vizag steel plant case it's quotes very low amount ,which is not fair to that company,which means that the buyer was clever enough to quote it. This is where the scam takes place. .so people of India oppose the government decision and protect the public sector and public money Jai Hind
