Starting today @htTweets is launching a 5-part series on India’s employment challenge. Our motivation is not to throw more guesstimates about no. of jobs generated under the present govt. We want to highlight structural issues in the job market which are often ignored 1/n
In the first part, I lay down the central political economy challenge of India’s job market (finding more and remunerative non-farm jobs) & then discuss what can or can’t be done to achieve this. 2/n

In our 2nd part @amitbasole & @econanand examine the claim made by Bhalla & Das about Indian economy adding 12.8 mn jobs in 2017. Bhalla et al's caveat notwithstanding they find their method problematic & also raise other important questions hindustantimes.com/india-news/did…
In our 3rd part Manish Sabharwal explains why India's jobs problem is easier to solve than the wage problem hindustantimes.com/analysis/india…
In our 4th part @Jayati1609 explains how more women work in India than men, if unpaid work were to to included. She argues that it is misleading to club employment & work in India hindustantimes.com/india-news/why…
In our last part, Prof S K Thorat reminds us how Dalits are still facing discrimination in the labour market and hence suffer from high unemployment. This means affirmative action is still necessary m.hindustantimes.com/india-news/sch…

#FuelPriceHike A chart that explains how petrol and diesel cost is calculated.
1. Central Excise is constant. Money Centre gets does not increase or decrease with cost of fuel.
2. State VAT & surcharge is % of cost. Higher the cost, higher the earnings of States.
Pls share.
State VAT & surcharges per litre of petrol and diesel is in % and varies from State to State. Congress-JDS raised it to 32% after forming Govt in Karnataka. Maharashtra has highest VAT on petrol. AP on diesel. Bulk of WB revenue comes from VAT on fuel.
States have limited means of raising resources. VAT on fuel and tax on booze are rich revenue earning sources. States that have prohibition have to depend on VAT on fuel. One of the reasons why prohibition is ill-conceived. Strangely prohibitionists protest loudest on fuel price.

#India doesn’t need to earn my affection by being flawless and perfect. Her Every imperfection, every blemish is mine. All her failures are mine. No, I am proud of my India. Never will I question the glory of the land which gave me birth, home and love #IndependenceDayIndia
If her face carries the ugly wounds of the past, I allowed her to suffer under slavery. I failed her as a son. If there is misgovernance, I chose wrong people to rule. If there’s poverty, we must introspect on the leaders we made custodian to the nation for decades.
Every time, she stumbles, I stand apart, brush dust off my clothes and mock her. I laugh at her struggle, mocking - See, so many poor; see so much corruption, see so much dirt and garbage. The world mocks at me. When the mother is belittled, the child loses all respect.

#India #KakoriTrainRobbery #History has it that A staunch Sanatani Arya Samaji, Cow protector, young poet and writer who rose from extreme poverty, and was involved in Shuddhukaran or reconversion of People to #Hinduism, met a nationalist, progressive #Muslim (yes, they exist).
#History has it that they became friends who couldn’t live without one another. A day when the #Muslim friend suffered a fit, he went down crying “Ram, Ram” which shocked his family. Later they realised he was chanting his friend’s name. #India
The two friends were great sons of #India Ram Prasad #Bismil and #Ashfaqullah Khan Warsi. They become friends, they lived and died together. #History has it that in his short life where he faced huge treacheries , #Ashfaq was the one who #Bismil trusted as soul brother.

#Series ¡Me gustó la música de #Versailles! He terminado las dos primeras temporadas de esta ambiciosa serie de #ficciónhistórica disponible en @NetflixLAT, y ya espero la tercera y última temporada. En este hilo compartiré una apreciación personal del #Score y del #Soundtrack.
En primer lugar va la intro, es tan poderosa, que no usé en ningún episodio la opción de saltar intro o adelantarla. Es un tema compuesto por los franceses @M83 llamado #Outro. Se puede escuchar en @Spotify - @SpotifyColombia :

O si prefieren en @YouTube.

Let me give you a #TruthSummary for every corporate media story for the last week and for the next 2 weeks bar some new unforseen crisis:
1. There are no such thing as #TrumpTariffs
Art 1 sec 2 cl 3 delegates that power to Congress
Trump Tariffs are a fiction created by illegal legislation and false policies
Media, pundits, & politicians need to shut up about Trump Tariffs & start talkg about #CongressionalTariffs
2. #Kavanaugh will not be the "death of womens rights" no matter what @SenFeinstein says. Kavanaugh will not be king and for goodness sakes, supports #Obamacare!!
