ReplyDeleteIf the 1991 financial crisis delivered first generation reforms, the hope is that Modi, with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Chief Ministers of various states will initiate second generation reforms. We are not talking about piecemeal reforms such as the goods and services tax, Aadhaar or the bankruptcy code. We are talking of reforms that reboot the Indian economy. Self reliant India will stand on five pillars, Economy, which brings in quantum jump and not incremental change; Infrastructure, which should become the identity of India; System, based on 21st century technology driven arrangements; Vibrant Demography, which is our source of energy for a self-reliant India; and Demand, whereby the strength of our demand and supply chain should be utilized to full capacity.
Self reliant India is not a new term, it has been envisioned quite often before by Nehru, Indira Gandhi & Atal Bihari Vajpayee but they failed miserably to change this vision into reality. Only the meaning has changed a bit with time, the Modi government's idea of making India self reliant is to make the domestic market stronger and self sufficient in effective functioning of the demand & supply chain like never before, thereby reducing the nation's dependence on imports, not making our nation an isolationist economy.
The COVID19 crisis is the perfect storm for economic reform. We see this crisis as a moment in time that can transform India. Economically, Covid-19 is a 1991 moment. Geopolitically, Covid-19 is a Balakot moment. Constitutionally, Covid-19 is abrogation of Article 370 moment. This is a time for other related reforms too. The entire edifice of the State needs to be rethought – debates around administrative reforms, legislative reforms and judicial reforms have to return on the policy table.
