    Did BRICS Help Thaw India-China Ties? Now Comes The Real Test (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The just-concluded BRICS summit in Delhi may not be remembered for a particularly muscular declaration. But that may miss its more important consequence for India. Did BRICS help accelerate the thaw in India-China relations? India’s diplomatic achievement was not that it convened the summit, since it was anyway the BRICS chair. It was that it managed to hammer out a common declaration among countries whose interests frequently collide. Iran and the UAE could sit around the same table despite the

    Read excerpt

    The Reserve Bank of India recently gave a small but revealing lesson in economic policymaking. On August 5, Governor Sanjay Malhotra was asked whether the special FCNR(B) scheme, designed to attract foreign currency deposits from non-resident Indians, might be closed before its scheduled September 30 deadline. He said there was no proposal to do so. Nine days later, the RBI abruptly advanced the closing date to August 31. There may have been perfectly good economic reasons. The scheme had worked

    Read excerpt

    In his Independence Day address from the Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made an important announcement.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The student protests that dominated the headlines were triggered by an examination paper leak. But it would be a mistake to view them only as a protest against the mismanagement of examinations. The leak touched a much deeper anxiety. For millions of young Indians, success in a competitive examination is one of the few remaining routes to a secure and reasonably paid livelihood. When the integrity of that process is compromised, it means another year in an already prolonged wait for employment.

    Indian Banks Are Healthy, But The Households Are Fragile (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Reserve Bank of India’s latest Financial Stability Report is reassuring about the health of banks and non-banking finance companies. It is less reassuring about the financial health of their retail customers. India’s household debt reached 45.5% of the GDP by September 2025, close to its earlier peak, and, subsequently, a new high at 47.8% by December 2025. This may not be exceptionally high by international standards. But beneath the headlines are stressed signs that are revealed by the pur
