"What is Nirmala Sitharaman's talent? Her father in law was a Cabinet minister, mother in law an MLA, husband held a cabinet rank position, he was close to former PM P.V. Narasimha Rao, and on top of this she is a member of India's most powerful caste. 1/3
If we minus all this, she has achieved absolutely zero in her career. So many doors would open for anyone who has this much social, cultural capital. She has hardly faced any struggles in her life. 2/3
In her entire life she hasn't written even a single research paper on economics. You wouldn't find a single video of her talking about theoretical economics. Her caste and family is her talent." Loose translation of @Profdilipmandal's tweet. 3/3
