In an incredibly swift action today, #TNforesters in Pandalur in Nilgiris united a two weeks old baby elephant with the mother. The excercise which lasted the whole day successfully tracked the mother elephant and got the lost baby back to the loving care of the mother.Kudos 👍

Perfect. India should give priority to #growth #Employment even if higher #inflation. High interest rates, in the garb of inflation control, favour #foreign #portfolio investors, over domestic #MSME, #exporters
All said and done, lower interest rates are boon; even if it is at the cost of real interest rates. We must not hinder growth, even if inflation is there. That is the only solution to curb inflation and raising income and employment in the long run.

Loan Sharking Mitigation - A #coopbank (multi-state?) to provide adequate credit to rural Hindu society, #MSME Alchoholism in rural Hindu society - among other solutions, higher quality #jobs #gigwork to fill the emptiness, boredom, will be helpful.
I spoke at a conference of rural temple priests (poojaris), who suffer from absolute poverty. I spoke about two big problems faced by rural Hindu society: alcoholism among men and loan sharking which traps men and women. We need a spiritual, social and economic movement. 🙏

Remember the atrocities of Razakars on villages like Rangapuram & Laxmipuram, the Jallianwala Bagh of the South, unleashed to terrorize millions to cede with Pakistan. #HyderabadLiberationDay is a reminder of uprising of Hindus to reject Nizam and remain with India. @skamaraj32

Indians who underestimate China's technological prowess, they do it at their own peril. This thread succinctly captures not just the military power but the technological superpower challenge that China will pose on India. The gap is widening exponentially.
China’s total spending levels on R&D have surpassed Europe, are dramatically higher than Japan and rival the spending levels in the US. 2/25

Brooding over the thorns, even if we get the most beautiful rose.
Late night musing: we should rightly acknowledge an Indian being amongst world’s richest persons BUT celebrate when income inequalities are reduced: wealth of 1% of India’s richest is more than 4 times that of income of those who make up the bottom 70% (Oxfam report). Agree?

It’s a sexist attempt to undermine a woman who has broken many a glass ceiling to rise to the top in Govt - as India’s first full-time Finance and Defence minister - who navigated the economy through an unprecedented global pandemic - keeping us afloat while the world struggled.

Would @PChidambaram_IN have said “cooking class” to Jaitley? No, he did for @nsitharaman- in his frustration misogyny is out. NS has formally studied econ, is much better FM than PC. In any case Das has been a better RBI chief than Rajan - credentials matter only up to a point :)
