I notice some orgasmic reactions in free-market twitter to these remarks by our PM. Let me translate
1. 'Wealth Creation is necessary for Redistribution' implies the latter is essential, more important, and going absolutely nowhere.
1. 'Wealth Creation is necessary for Redistribution' implies the latter is essential, more important, and going absolutely nowhere.
2. 'Private Sector ka *bhi* bahut bada role hai' & 'Wealth-Creator *bhi* desh ko zaroori hote hai' implies the public sector is also very important. '*Kisi bhi* private activity ko nakar denge' leads you to the same conclusion.
3. In other words, 'Wealth-Creation is important' and 'Wealth-Creation, in the Indian Civilisation, will never be no 1, prioritised over everything else' are not mutually incompatible.
4. He has never been and will never be, one of you psychopaths. Whether it is the Congress/UPA or BJP/NDA in power, you will never get the utopian wonderland you desire. You may leave for Somalia where your preferred policies have been instituted.

5. It is Crony Capitalism/record-breaking corruption, inefficiency and greed that has rightly damaged their image, not people's reactions to the same.
7. Why is the word 'reform' in Indian politics only used to mean rightward movement on economics?
Satyavachan.
A few 'Annihilation of Caste' SC Activists seem to have been taken for a ride by mercantile castes to support this free-market model.
Note that
1. Urbanisation, with all its obvious positives, undoubtedly worsens inequality. Urban Indian Gini coefficients are much worse.

2. Mercantile Castes are disproportionately urban & upper-class. Their support for this is understandable.
3. Feudal Attitudes will likely travel with these erstwhile rural agriculturalists to the cities, where they will be far more consequential than in their obscure villages.

3. Continued - This, in part, explains the diaspora Jatt-Sikh might behind the opposition to the Farm Bill. Less Jatts may identify with their Jati in the largely urbanised Jookay te Kanaydda, but their clout is a lot greater than in rural East Punjab.
4. At most, you will have a SC Upper-Class, while the average SC continues to have significantly worse socioeconomic indicators than average.
5. Losing irreplaceable traditional skills to do some manufacturing job that will be automated within 1-2 generations is smart?

There have been successful 'subaltern' movies making exactly this point.
What Gandhi and Ambedkar said about caste and villages simply doesn't apply to the same extent in 2021 India.

Pt 3 - Their clout is a lot greater per capita than in rural East Punjab.
Lol. Told you. India doesn't have an Economic RW. Thank goodness.
Similarly, "No dignity in poverty" to "Get rich or die trying" to violent crime.
The only valid form of identity politics is based on regional identity. It is implicit in all politics.
Lol.
"Less cheap labour to exploit. Wahhhhhhhhh. Mummy."
Hehe hehe.
"Tax Terrorism"
Comparing something as obviously moral and necessary as progressive taxation with having to deal with bits of your blown-up friend sticking to your body.

South Bombay, South Delhi, South Bangalore are ridiculed. Why? If your answer is 'Envy', you don't understand our civilisation.
"For more revenue"
Hope this is true.
'Wealth-Creator'
Straight line from 'No dignity in poverty', 'Get rich or die trying' to this, by the Delhi-based businessman.
Also sharing because I was always interested in Streak's career, primarily because I look like him(much leaner, though).

'Entrepreneurs making Vaccines'
Every member of a mercantile caste, who supports free-market libertarianism, is potentially a casteist.
'Wealth-Creator' aaaa?
No excuse for a Rs 1000 vaccine.
No excuse for a Rs 1000 vaccine.
"But you can afford to pay Rs 1000 for the vaccine" is a strawman argument.
Compare this kid with the vultures that are called Wealth-Creators in India. Thoo.
Woke-Leftism is a function of privilege. Language-policing, Epidermis and Genital Identitarianism substitute for the implementation of policies that would bring about better, safer working conditions, higher minimum wages and much-needed redistribution.
The same system with darker people and women in charge isn't change.
Lol.
"Why are Indians suspicious of 'Wealth-Creators'?"
This is what happens when 'Wealth-Creation' is prioritised over everything else.
Wanting a higher minimum wage and safer working conditions isn't 'Marxism' or 'Demonisation of Businessmen'.
Bangladesh is fast emerging as the sweatshop HQ in Asia. Unsurprisingly, it is getting a lot of Neoliberal support. Psychopaths.
"Wealth-Creators" are Thali ka Baingans.
