Top Priorities for a New Manufacturing Policy

Tata Motors changed its plans to set up a manufacturing facility in West Bengal amid political as well as farmer protests. Above, the unfinished plant.

India Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has set the ambitious goal of boosting manufacturing as a percentage of India's gross domestic product to 25% from 16% today. The WSJ has been examining some of the issues he faces in getting there. And, in advance of Mr. Singh's discussion with his Cabinet Thursday that will pave the way for the implementation of the new manufacturing drive, India Real Time surveyed economists to see what they see as the biggest measures need to reach that goal.

India's economy grew at 8.5% in the year ended March 31 but has shown signs of slowing. Yet the government is aiming to reach a double-digit growth rate in the next few years and to outpace India's larger northern neighbor, China, which has sustained rapid growth as it successfully scaled up its manufacturing capabilities over the past years.

India hasn't shown a similar rise in manufacturing even as services have soared and agriculture has dropped, as a percentage of overall economic output. Some have argued that the rise of services – from outsourcing to finance – means that India won't need an industrial revolution to bolster its development. Others point to history, showing that China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and, much earlier, Europe and the U.S., could on [...]

India Journal: The Rise of Baba Ramdev’s Middle Class

India's burgeoning middle class is a trope that appears in much recent discussion of the country's economic rise. Variously estimated at between 100 million and 400 million, depending on how they are measured, they're central to the story of contemporary India and their ranks are indisputably increasing as the country's economy grows.

But who are these people, and what values do they represent?

We know them as consumers powering India's economic engine to the point where India's growth has been largely unaffected by the recent global economic downturn. Any casual visitor to the many shopping malls that have sprung up across the nation has seen this buying power at work in shops and food courts that are packed day and night. These people have money, and they're spending it. As incomes rise, spending patterns shift, with the new middle class spending a decreasing share of its budget on basic necessities such as food and clothing and an increasing share on consumer goods, health, education and, depending on their level of affluence, everything from scooters to automobiles.

Having bracketed the middle class as consumers, many analysts and even politicians point out their apathy and disengagement from the political process, citing low turnout rates during elections compared to the poor, who vote in large numbers.

But are things changing?

The recent saga of Baba Ramdev and his disrupted fast in New Delhi has revealed at least a portion of the same middle class as his principal support base. Finally, we're getting a fascinating glimpse into the values and aspirations that animate at least some of this newly-risen bourgeoisie.

Amitabha Pande, a retired senior civil servant and astute observer of the Indian scene, described to me via e-mail Ramdev's followers thus:  "There is a whole new class coming out of the non-metro cities and towns who are increasingly assertive of their verna [...]

योगऋषी रामदेवबाबांचे उपोषण चालूच

रामदेवबाबांचे भक्तांना उपोषण सोडण्याचे आवाहन केंद्रशासनाला 

योगऋषी रामदेवबाबा यांच्याकडून क्षमा

हरिद्वार, ७ जून (वृत्तसंस्था) - योगऋषी प.पू. रामदेवबाबा यांनी त्यांच्या अनुयायांना उपोषण सोडण्याचे आवाहन केले आहे; मात्र ते स्वतः भ्रष्टाचाराच्या विरोधातील त्यांचे उपोषण हरिद्वार येथे चालूच ठेवणार आहेत. काल पंतप्रधान मनमोहन सिंग यांनी प.पू. बाबांवरील कारवाई दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण आहे, असे म्हटले होते.

पंतप्रधानांच्या या विधानावर प.पू. बाबा म्हणाले, ''पंतप्रधानांनी त्यांची चूकच एक प्रकारे मान्य केली आहे. त्यांना ही घटना दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण वाटत असेल, तर मीही केंद्रशासनाला क्षमा केली आहे. चूक मान्य करतांना पंतप्रधानांनी कारवाईशिवाय पर्याय नव्हता, असे म्हटले आहे, हा त्यांचा खोटारडेपणा आहे.� [...]
