Indian Express
It was the rising tide of global liquidity and not anything unique to India that accelerated its growth rate from a level of around 5.5 per cent to 8-9 per cent between 2003 and 2007. The country has a high chance of becoming a “breakout nation” only if it does not grow complacent, avoids becoming a welfare state, brings reforms systematically and globally, and commodity prices fall, said Ruchir Sharma, Global Head, Emerging Markets, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, and author of Breakout Nations: In Pursuit of The Next Economic Miracles.

Verbatim |
 The UPA 2 government was conceived in corruption – and never really recovered from that taint. Right from the day the election results came in, the back-channel negotiations began for the reappointment of A Raja as Telecom Minister to advance the interests of certain telecom majors (in return for illegal gratification). It was an enterprise which set the stage for India’s biggest corruption scandal and virtually set the political tone for the rest of the four years. As subsequent exposes have established, Manmohan Singh and other key Ministers knew full well that mischief was afoot, but pointedly looked the other way. That was the beginning of the slide, and the UPA government in general – and Manmohan Singh in particular – was mortally wounded from that episode. But rather than press ahead with remedial action, the government slid further into the cesspool of corruption.

Split with Nitish will only boost BJP in Bihar -
K Balakrishnan, LensOnNews
