Supreme Court draws a clear line on SC status. SC status remains tied to Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist identities. Conversion to other religions means loss of that classification, the Court reiterates. SC also clarifies that a certificate alone doesn’t override conversion.

A brilliant Chart. We were walking from the 60s to 90s, other countries ran ahead of us. From 90s we have started running ahead of others but we have a long distance to cover.

Happy to part of this interesting discussions on GST Digital Architecture and challenges faced by MSMEs.

Before modern multinational banks reached Southeast Asia, merchants from 75 villages in Tamil Nadu had already built a transnational financial system. They financed rice in Burma, rubber in Malaya, retail in Singapore, plantations in Ceylon — connected not by contracts but by kinship and reputation. This is the story of the Chettiars.🧵

I want to convey a message to the Income Tax Department. You're not just tax collectors. You're the face of the government's relationship with the taxpayer. Since you're the face of the government's relationship with the taxpayer, this new law gives you a clearer and leaner framework to make it simple, to make it simpler for people who want to understand it better. It must be administered with empathy, fairness and efficiency. I expect every officer to internalise the spirit of this new law. The taxpayer is not your adversary. The taxpayer is your partner in nation building. - Smt @nsitharaman in New Delhi (1/2)

@RichardRossow Tamil Nadu Discom ranked at 41 at all India level. Top state economy poor performance of power sector

India's Ministry of Power releases a new report ranking discoms. Not just on performance (as with the terrific PFC annual report), but also on their respective strategies, policies, tech adoption, consumer satisfaction. drive.google.com/file/d/1SPg0Vx… #RRKeyread

Honourable Chairman Dr. S Mahendra Dev outlines, in a @businessline interview, why India is largely withstanding the oil shock. While the LPG supply faces minor disruptions, the broader growth story remains intact. thehindubusinessline.com/economy/india-…

In an opinion piece in The New Indian Express, I write: India needs a doctoral system that values both fundamental research and solutions to real industrial problems. The traditional PhD pathway will remain in many disciplines. But, at least in engineering, it is now time to introduce pragmatic reforms in the form of a carefully-governed, practical PhD track. Established Indian institutions must reorient doctoral programmes to train young scholars who can convert their doctoral work into robust products and processes. NEP 2020 provides the policy foundation to implement this logic. We can do it in a distinctly Indian way without compromising rigour. newindianexpress.com/opinion/2026/M…

The Iran War and likely impact on Indian business sectors.

Who benefits from war? More people than toy think. Interesting article. Even more interesting math detailed here.

Between 2004–05 and 2009–10, the UPA government issued oil bonds worth ₹1.48 lakh crore to oil marketing companies in lieu of cash subsidies on petroleum products. These were not reflected in the budget and were treated as off-budget borrowings. These bonds carried interest rates between 7% and 8.4%. As a result, the fiscal deficit during those years would have been significantly higher than what was officially reported. For instance, in 2008–09, the fiscal deficit was shown as 6.1% of GDP. However, if off-budget borrowings such as oil bonds, Food Corporation of India liabilities and fertilizer bonds had been included, the fiscal deficit would have been around 7.9%. Similarly, the revenue deficit would have been 6.3% instead of the reported 4.6%. Therefore, the picture presented at that time appeared more favorable than it actually was, because significant borrowings were kept outside the budget. Today, some economists are revisiting those numbers and suggesting that the growth was even better. I would urge them to reconcile their analysis with these off-budget borrowings before drawing such conclusions. - Smt @nsitharaman in Rajya Sabha (2/3)

இந்திய கம்யூனிஸ்ட் (CPI) கட்சிக்கு 5 தொகுதிகள் ஒதுக்கீடு செய்துள்ளது திமுக. சென்ற முறை 6 தொகுதி கொடுத்தனர். சென்ற முறை 25 கோடி கொடுத்தாங்க இந்த முறை 40 கோடி கொடுக்கிறேன் சொல்லிருப்பாங்க - சந்தோசமான வந்துட்டாங்க போல தோழர்கள். இதுக்கு எதுக்கு உனக்கு கட்சி? இதில் கம்யூனிஸ்ட் என வாய் கிழிய பேச்சு ஒன்னு குறைவு இல்லை. கட்சியை 25 கோடிக்கு அடமானம் வச்சு சாப்டானுக இப்போ 40 கோடிக்கு அடமானம் வச்சு 5 வருடம் அறிவாலையத்திக் அடிமை வேலை பார்க்க தயாராகிவிட்டார்கள். உங்களை நம்பி தெருவில் நிற்கும் இளைஞர்கள் தான்.. அவனும் கெட்டு அவன் குடும்பமும் கெட்டு திரிவான்.

@prasannavishy When we bunch of students went for National conference at CSDS from all over India, went to see Delhi metro train and travelled like tourists from one end to other end just to see the metro train. It was such a beautiful movements refreshing new India.

A piece walking down memory lane to Dec 25, 2002, when the first 8.2 km stretch of the Delhi Metro was inaugurated by PM Vajpayee (incidentally on his birthday) with Dy PM L.K. Advani. Today the network is nearly 420-450 km. In that ceremonial photo is former Delhi CM Madan Lal Khurana, who played a pivotal role in conceptualising the project and doing all the heavy lifting to get it off the ground. Construction began in Jan 1998. Also underscores why continuous terms in power is required to get due credit for infrastructure projects. Else the people who actually envisioned and built difficult early part disappear from the story. And latecomers with good PR like Dixit usurp credit.
