They, of course, see a bit of the glitter of the rich, the decadence of the young in long cars and the illuminated fine-dining behind glass windows, but then in India it is the rich who are in the islands, who are confused about their idea of home."
Ashok Gulati says that though Narendra Modi has a great talent for coining catchy metaphors, it's rarely backed up with suitable implementation plans. "I’m definitely concerned with “sabka vikas”, and it’s here that I feel the government’s strategy is getting increasingly skewed in favour of those who are already better-off."
Mihir Sharma says that PM Modi isn't coming to terms with the disconnect between reforming and transforming the economy and is unlikely to embark on structural reform. "The political obituaries were being written for Mr Modi's government after Bihar, but they were far too hasty. He still has awesome political capital. But it is certainly time to start writing the obituaries for structural reform. Worst of all, prepare to hear the government and its backers defend weak-kneed and confused "incrementalism" as real, big-bang reform."
