I have no idea what this is doing In The Indian govt’s Economic Survey but ok let’s go scratch our backs against a tree.

I think the 800 odd migrant workers who died because they were stranded in the heat without transport or food would disagree with this opening para of the Indian govt’s economic survey.

Bayesian updating? They most certainly didn’t do any updation. Ye log samjhe hain ki yehi log gamewa theory pade hain kya?#EconomicSurvey2021

This section has a philosophical jump from Oscar Wilde to.. you guessed it.. The Mahabharata you guys!! In ONE Sentence. 👏🏻👏🏻😆

I am going to be the only person who died of tummy damage in the pandemic because of LOLZ.

For a govt that prides itself on self reliance and Indianness the govt’s economy survey seems to have a preponderance of citations from western scholars. I guess the Jio uni’s excellence hasn’t come up to speed yet.

Dear god can you stop now liberal economists talking for one second?

*neoliberal

As guessed #FarmBills2020 are a part of structural reforms. It’s just been sold to the public as atmanirbharta. We need to dig more into why these policies have been adopted. Could it be because of the 4 billion dollar plus loans taken from lending agencies?

Other structural measures (nice to see them all listed together to heighten That sense of panic)

Ok the only reason I’m looking at this document is to find something on PMCARES. But not a word thus far. Very odd.
