Pooja YadavMay 16, 20220

Subsidies are one of the quintessential attributes of any state. When it comes to India, on the eve of independence was left with an uphill task of socio-economic development. Markets were almost nonexistent, the masses lived in abject poverty and illiteracy, we weren't producing enough food to satiate the hunger of the masses, and our lifespan was just 32 years. There was a crisis in every sphere --  agriculture, industry, health or education -- partly due to colonial legacy. Given such circumstances, the founding fathers of democratic India rightly envisaged the Indian state to be a state. However, 70 years down the road only a few problems have abated, while new ones cropped up and poverty still stubbornly remains a pressing problem. In this context, the latest economic survey rig...

Pooja YadavMay 13, 20220

It not only caused the alienation of the Tamil-speaking population but led to the formation of the LTTE, a terrorist organisation, and a war. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam were finally vanquished, but it took over two-and-a-half decades for the Sri Lankan state to realize this. In the meanwhile, there was an exodus of Tamils, the better-off leaving for the West and, those that could escape, heading for Madras. With the Tamils having had a big presence within the professions, the country experienced a loss of experience in most spheres. The impact of a loss of technical expertise on an economy is slow and infrequently i...
