Congress manifesto’s focus is on inequality

It is an attempt to have a reasonable conversation about equality and inclusion, one that listens to the whole range of voices in our society.

Make in India has fallen far short of expectations on the job front

Despite rising costs in China, India has made little headway into becoming a global manufacturing alternative, particularly at the low end that generates the most jobs.

Why India should not crow about its good score in the competitiveness index

There’s an important qualification that much of the news reporting missed: 73 of the 105 variables that determine a country’s competitiveness score arise from a survey of corporate executives that asks respondents to rank items on a scale of 1 to 7.
