Rajan Hopes for 'De-escalation' of India-Pakistan Tension

Feb.26 -- Raghuram Rajan, former Reserve Bank of India Governor and author of "The Third Pillar," discusses the escalation of violence in Kashmir, India's upcoming election, and the need to grow the nation's economy. He speaks on "Bloomberg Surveillance."

Bihar, Orissa, UP have far worse economy . Never seen people having gun in their cupboards.

He is a monetary economist for heavens sake...Tell us about Kashmir, you have been to Kashmir? Poor guy would have gone there as a tourist, stop trying to ask him strategic military questions

[dishamukherjee]

He is not portraying anything wrong about his nation nor does gita gopinath do... he is just saying that india has potential and young indians need positive direction they just have to be more productive also government has to ensure stability of economy...

Those who are questioning Mr. Rajan's knowledge, know nothing about his callibre and his reputation in the whole world. He is widely regarded for his insights about the Recession of 2007. Yet we Indians are more worried about his College Degrees. During his tenure as Governor, the inflation came DOWN drastically. He fought against UPA's populist agendas to curb inflation. He did the same under NDA. But NDA disregarded his expertise to continue their own populist agendas. And sadly they even tried to malign his image in India. He couldn't realise that Modi is no Manmohan. While Manmohan had respect for him (even if he didn't agree to Rajan's ideas), Modi is a total "Dissent-Killer".
Rajan is a guiding force which we need desperately for our country, not the one we deserve, unfortunately.

"Kashmiri is a peaceful form of Islam". :)

does he know what he is talking about?

[SS-uzyb]

Respectfully Dr. Rajan, you make sense speaking about monetary policy and economics, not politics, sovereignty and foreign policy. Let the Indian political leadership determine the course of action.

"Peaceful form of Islam"

Lmao

So refreshing to hear the voice of reason about India Pakistan conflict over Kashmir. Thank you, Mr. Rajan!

[nabilamasood]

Ask him how many boots you have in Kashmir, if you do not know I tell you 700, 000

Since a couple of weeks the Pakistanis were crying for the Indian tomatoes ( cus we blocked the supplies), Our Air Force delivered them Ketchup! 😎

[pramodshinde]

Yes. Mr. Rajan is right on Kashmir issue. India failed to resolve unemployment problem in the region as well as in country.

[fgpeace]

The anchor doesn't question the host about human rights violations in Kashmir carried out by the Indian army inside J&K on daily basis. Biased point of view.

[DEEPAKSINHA-S]

Peaceful islamist. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 This man should only speak the things he have studied, and that is economics.

[AB_vlogs]

Absolutely valuable narrative presented about my Kashmir by my dear Professor R sir.

[gopikantha]

Bangalore always gets pulled into news...😉

[sns]

All hindu in Kashmir valleys killed or leave Kashmir and ranjan said it's peacefully islam. Shame Rajan

[vikywatto]

Go to Kashmir if u think true journalism exists...

[eyeinfinite]

Economics is a magical subject. Once you are an economist, you are an expert on all other subject. It's another matter than economists - top economists - are, on their BEST days, as good as mediocre astrologers in predicting anything about economy. They are, however, amazing in explaining why something happened AFTER it happens. Unlike Science, there is no Math or lab to prove something. You can say North and your colleague can say South and both of you can be top economists at the same time on the same topic. Biggest regret of my life - I should have taken Economics.

I want this man to be the Prime Minister of this country
