    The guest here says that while Bangaladesh incorporated secularism as a state policy in 1972, India did not do it till 1974. He goes on to say "we had secularism in our constitution long before India did." It's okay not to know everything, particularly, laws of other countries. But then, one should not be making public statements about something one doesn't know. He should have at least qualified his statement in terms that he was not too sure about it. The parliament of India incorporated the words "sovereign socialist secular democratic republic" by way of the 42nd amendment to the Constitution of India with effect from 3rd of January 1977, inserting these in place of "sovereign democratic republic". I suppose Ambassador Chowdhury mistakenly understood this amendment to be the point India declared itself secular. The following Articles of the Constitution of India have been in place, right from the day when the Constitution was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India on 26th November 1949 and became effective on 26th January 1950. Art 14 - Equality before law. Art 15 - Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth. Art 16 - Equality of opportunity in matters of public employment. Art 19 - Protection of certain rights regarding freedom of speech, etc. Art 25 - Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion. Art 26 - Freedom to manage religious affairs. Art 27 - Freedom as to payment of taxes for payment of any particular religion. Art 28 - Freedom as to attendance at religious instruction or religious worship in certain religious institutions. Art 29 - Protection of interests of minorities. Art 30 - Right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions. I have not provided the full text of these Articles of the Constitution for obvious reasons. But this much should be enough to prove the point.

    Net FX reserves at $12bn are still precarious - against ~$24bn in principal repayments + ST borrowings. Gotta keep generating those CA surpluses or revolving credit to repay ‘un-rollable’ official/bilateral loans. If savings and tax ratios don’t materially rise by 2H’25, the insolvency crisis will require some serious thoughts about debt sustainability and NPV haircuts.

    Please deliberate on a production tax on Agriculture. Speaking from a farming background, I think that a production tax similar to Ushr e.g 5% of Production from irrigated areas wll bring in big tax numbers for the gov. A production tax is also easier for farmers, rather than an income tax.

      PSX peak was $100 billion in may 2017. It is now around $82 billion. About two years back it had fallen to $24 billion. So depending on what you consider as your base, there is a sharp rise or practically flat after 7.5 years.

    100% Agree, Bilkul give the comparative advantages of Provinces, to their people, because that will create areas of regional and global competitiveness. The greatest inequiality to make Unequal things Equal - Aristotle Also coming from a farming background, I advocate for a production tax, rather than income. E.g 5% production of crop goes to Gov. coffers. Its not a heavy tax on the farming community, it should face less resistance, and it has the potential to generate big amounts in tax.

    - PM Nehru was overly generous in allocating 80% of water to Pakistan in the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 . Maximum water for Pakistan , as a lower riparian nation , should have been less than 50% India should seek a review in her favour of the Indus Water Treaty. River Beas is only a tributary of River Sutlej . Beas does not even enter Pakistan. Chenab i.e. Chandrabhaga is basically a river of Himachal Pradesh. It belongs to HP and has a very small Kashmir connection. Chenab's waters should be diverted to Ravi and other Indian rivers including Yamuna. India got in her share waters of only two rivers compared to 3 rivers for Pakistan.. ,,,,,,,,,,,,, Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal should be expanded to Chenab -Sutlej - Yamuna Canal ... ,,,,,,,,,,
