News cannot be, and should not be, a 24×7 affair. Can we turn back the clock and have news bulletins at periodic intervals? If not three times a day, perhaps four? The link between clean public information and democracy is a well-established fact. The positive correlation

Today Kerala is free from extreme poverty. But it was one of the poorest regions in India in 1956. Central to this remarkable transformation has been 'public action', with high level of social expenditure undertaken by the state governments.

Despite being a close American ally, India is now threatened with the highest U.S. tariff of 50%. India’s young people -- the home market they generate and their skills that can power the future economy -- form the country’s best defence as the trade battle rages on.

Future economic growth must be built around the demand from the home markets of countries such as India and China. In the context of U.S. tariffs, India must bring about sweeping economic changes to tap the potential of the country’s youth. https://t.co/gQbB3ZZP1b

Although still only 1% of the U.S. population, Indian immigrants have a disproportionately higher representation in higher education and research and as entrepreneurs and corporate leaders. They have contributed significantly to the U.S.’s continued global dominance in innovation

Future economic growth must be built around the demand from the home markets of countries such as India and China. The populations of these countries will have to transform themselves from being low-cost producers to producers and consumers simultaneously.

If left with low wages as its only bargaining chip, India will remain on the periphery of global business. Despite their early starts, India’s IT and pharmaceutical industries tread unsteadily in low-value activities due to their underinvestment in research and development.

The unfolding tariff war shows that low wages alone will not give a lasting competitive advantage to a country in the export markets. China’s strengths emerge from its enormous scale, massive infrastructure, and growing technological capabilities.

China's vice-like grip over large parts of the global production network and exclusive access to some critical materials such as rare earths may have quickened the melting of ice between that country and the U.S.

At the same time, as exports form a relatively small share (21.8%) of its GDP, the impact of the tariff increases may be less in India than in many others . Also, there has been no increase in tariffs on pharmaceuticals and services, two of India’s major export items to the US.

President Trump calls India a ‘tariff king’, referring to the marked increase in India’s tariffs since 2018. Any reduction in India’s export earnings following tariff escalation will be keenly felt

The proportion of exports to GDP has declined steeply in China. China’s exports to the US have fallen, too, from 21% in 2006 to 16.2% in 2022. China has invested hugely in science, technology, and innovation, partly in response to the US’s restrictions on technology transfer

Without a doubt, President Trump is playing with fire. With the higher tariffs, prices of most goods will move upward, inflicting pain on ordinary Americans. China has been quietly preparing for such a showdown, gradually reducing its dependence on the US economy.
