Was indeed a fascinating discussion, and quite a respectful exchange (the kind that we need more in 'New India')... the #greatIndianGDPdebate has certainly not ended, and my takeaways so far are the following #Thread #IPF2019 (1/n)
I thought @arvindsubraman (AS') presentation yesterday was much more sharper, more thought-through, and better articulated compared to his previous paper on this issue (2/n)
He made it clear that he was NOT re-estimating the GDP series but was merely trying to validate using 'demand' side metrics (investment demand, exports etc.) and the dissonance between these indicators and new series was sharp (3/n)

A month after holes in a key database used in GDP estimation were first exposed, the controversy around #India's GDP #data and statistical system has only grown. This #thread is a summary of some answers and many questions on this issue #stats #institutions #economy (1/n)
The latest to question the new GDP series is the former CEA @arvindsubraman who was also among the first to question the new series numbers when they first came out in 2015 (2/n)
His main contention, then and now, is that the new series fails to tally with other economic indicators. Others also have made this point but his recent paper (hks.harvard.edu/centers/cid/pu…) is the most systematic demonstration of that issue (3/n)

Thread: #India will stand firm on oil and gas cooperation with #Vietnam and will not let any other country to get in the way - India will not reconsider its oil and gas cooperation with Vietnam, said Geeta Kochhar e.vnexpress.net/news/news/indi…
Kochhar made the judgment in the context of China's illegal oil & gas activities in the South China Sea, including the deployment of Chinese oil survey vessel Haiyang Dizhi 8 and its escorts to Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf.
"If China really wants to be assertive of not letting India cooperate with Vietnam, I do not think India would accept that & they should not accept that," Kochhar said Tuesday on the sidelines of a conference on India's relations with neighboring countries held Tuesday in Hanoi.

#India readies a Kilo submarine for #Myanmar - India is set to hand over to Myanmar its first ever submarine, with a Kilo class boat likely to be sent this year after being refitted indigenously 👍 economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/t…

Though #Pakistan was created on religious line, #Jinnah was most liberal Muslim who never wanted #Pakistan a religious firm!
Till 1977 , Religion was just a personal choice in #Pakistan , General #Zia not only pushed religion but also took country decades backward !
#SZAB
Zia knew he had zero support from People hence he decided to take support from Mullahs and he ensured that hardcore Islam penetrate each institution in #Pakistan including #Army & #ISI !
#Soviet invaded #Afghanistan in 1979, #Zia used this opportunity to the fullest .
#US wanted to work on Proxy war, Zia got excellent platform to build these Proxies in Madrassa's of Pakistan.

My friend @sunnysingh_n6 has been deconstructing #India's extraordinary 400+ (!!) page ruling granting civil rights to gay people. Read her measured, thoughtful exposition here.

This is a treatise for global civil rights for those of us who are #LGBTQ. The world must take note.
The treatise from #India is a template for all governments going forward.

The world's largest democracy has delivered an extraordinary document.
#IndiaForGayRights
ONE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE.

That's how many are impacted by #India's ruling.

100million.
That's equivalent to whole of the UK or Germany and France. Imagine all those lives changed today?
It's incredible.🏳️‍🌈
