			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">The first time I met Rajiv Gandhi was on September 18 1990 and the last was on March 23 1991.    <a href="http://independentindian.com/introduction-and-some-biography/rajiv-gandhi-and-the-origins-of-india%E2%80%99s-1991-economic-reform/">The full story of that encounter has been told here and in print.</a> I had been asked to stay on in Delhi for a few days for a possible follow-up meeting in case questions needed to be addressed but in the rather confused circumstances at the time during an election campaign, that never happened.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Before leaving Delhi, I gave the fellow-advisers in my group the following document  authored by myself dated March 25 1991.   The group&#8217;s last meeting with Rajiv was on March 23 1991 as has been told elsewhere.   It had first met on September 25 1990 following my September 18 1990 meeting with Rajiv &#8212; so, in a sense, I was its first member.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Yet, unfortunately, in November 2007, one member of the group, who today apparently remains close to political power in New Delhi, chose to be publicly mendacious about  all this  &#8212; alleging Manmohan Singh (who himself has never made such a a claim) was part of the group while erasing, in the best traditions of Stalinist totalitarianism, my name and work in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to write a false history.   I was compelled to expose this mendacity,  an exposure that can be found elsewhere here.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Even so, I am glad to see the Congress Party still may have learnt from what I said because there are identifiable similarities between what they have done at the start of the second Sonia-Manmohan Government a few weeks ago, and what I had said in the March 25 1991 memo which, though it did not reach Rajiv, may have remained in some recipient&#8217;s files.  Of course, if so, it is possible the mendacious have been taking undue political credit for its content:  Aristotle said the virtues tend to be found together, and so too the vices  &#8212; those who are mendacious are also likely to be, to make the point  euphemistically, disrespectful of the property rights of others in favour of themselves (or, to put it bluntly, thieving).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As I have said elsewhere,  Rajiv himself had said at our last  March 23 meeting he wished to meet me alone and would be arranging it but that was not to be.  Nor, to repeat, did he get to see this document, which I have today found again in my files and is published below unaltered.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Subroto Roy, Kolkata</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">July 12 2009</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;ON THE ART OF GOVERNMENT:  EXPERTS, PARTY, CABINET &amp; BUREAUCRACY </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>There are today (March 25 1991) less than 60 days to what we should assume will be a Congress victory.  When Congress is returned to power, it should be ready from Day One to start implementing the policies in its manifesto. 	The initial momentum of victory should not be allowed to diminish into complacency at any point during the entire life of the Government.  The strategic mistake of the 1984-89 Government must be avoided.  This was to get euphoric, think that everything could be done quickly, lose momentum when realities catch up, then becoming vulnerable to an attack like Bofors which brings everything else down.  We have to keep continuous control of the public agenda, and not let it slip into the hands of the Press or the Opposition for any significant amount of time. </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Cycle of Political Action </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Policy-making and implementation should be a continuous cyclical process institutionalized throughout the life of the Government:   &#8211; the Party leadership should elicit political and expert advice and make recommendations to the Council of Ministers;  &#8211; the Council of Ministers should instruct the Bureaucracy to prepare legislation accordingly for Parliament; &#8211; the Council of Ministers should monitor implementation of successful legislation via correct data and intelligence, and report back to the Party leadership; &#8211; the Party leadership should assess the political impact of the legislation, and re-advise the Council of Ministers accordingly. 	The ultimate goal is to enable the Party leadership to call and win the next Lok Sabha election within the next 60 months. That is the sole practical criterion of success.   	All short-term and medium-term plans and actions of the Party and Ministers have to dovetail one into the other from Day One for the achievement of this ultimate goal. </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Preparing Ministers for the Job </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Precious time can be lost preparing names of the Council of Ministers over days or weeks of speculation in the press and rivalry in the Party.   	A general pool from which the Council of Ministers is likely to be selected must be ready well before the victory at the polls is announced.   	The Council of Ministers should be named definitively within 24-48 hours of the Congress being asked to form the next Government.  This will be the first signal to the world of the restoration of a strong, clear-headed Government of India.  This will be celebration enough of the Congress&#8217;s victory.  There is too much work to be done for there to be any tamasha. 	The Party leadership should formulate from now an initial 90-day plan to be put into action from Day One.  This plan should be ready a week before Day One at the latest.   	The goal should be that when each Minister turns up at his/her Ministry for the first time, he/she must already know or have been advised or instructed by the Party leadership (a) what the specific job is in that Ministry in the next 90 days (b) where the Party leadership want that Minister to take that Ministry; (c) the specific steps the Minister must take within the first few days; (d) the general reforms which the Party leadership expects to see from that Ministry within 90 days. 	The Minister must be prepared to take charge from Day One of the superb, senior bureaucrats waiting to welcome him/her at the Ministry.  If a Minister is not capable of taking charge of his/her bureaucrats then the latter will be forced to take charge of him/her.  The Minister will never regain the momentum.  Expert advice will reach such a Minister, if at all, only through bureaucrats rather than through the political process.  The Party can almost write off the policies entrusted to such a Minister, there will be weak political monitoring of success, and alienation and disaffection in the Party as it feels sidelined by the Bureaucracy.  The democratic mandate would have been stymied by lack of proper ministerial leadership.    	India&#8217;s senior bureaucracy is the best in the world without exception.  The Congress Party, for all its faults, is one of the great political parties of the world.  One of the arts of Indian Government today is to find the way to use all the talents of the bureaucracy and to win the political elections by maintaining Party morale, involvement and feedback. </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Prime Minister and his Council of Ministers </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>It may be assumed as a fact that Rajiv Gandhi will face no challenge to his leadership from within his own Council of Ministers.   	Therefore, he can be confident in his leadership by both encouraging individual ministerial competence and monitoring their individual performance.   	He would be well-advised to explain at the outset to the Council of Ministers their common goals over the entire period of the expected life of the Government, and the planned method of achieving these goals.   	As basic rules of thumb, he would be well-advised to indicate boldly to his Council at the outset &#8211; that no Minister would face sudden dismissal or demotion during the life of the Government;   &#8211; that such-and-such are the standards of ministerial performance he expects; &#8211; that the Prime Minister feels himself primus inter pares or first among equals, and chooses to lead them only so long as he has their collective confidence; &#8211; that every Minister has free access to him whenever the purpose is to enable Government to implement its mandate;  &#8211; that he encourages free and open discussion within the Council;  &#8211; that teamwork demands total confidentiality of these discussions, and total loyalty to the mandate of the Government for the entire life of the Government; &#8211; that he would accept without penalty the resignation of any Minister unable to abide by such principles or the decisions of the Council.     	These principles would set out some of the rules of the game of cabinet government in a clear fashion.  One of the arts of Indian Government today is to find the way to let individual ministers grow and develop at their jobs without either feeling so intimidated by the Prime Minister as to be paralysed by fear, or feeling so ambitious that they want the Prime Minister&#8217;s job for themselves.   	If a Minister wants the Prime Minister&#8217;s job, he/she can ask for it in a proper Party forum at an appropriate time &#8212; not while they are part of this Prime Minister&#8217;s Council of Ministers.    	The responsible procedure for the Minister who is in total disagreement with his/her Prime Minister is to resign quietly without fanfare or publicity.  If he/she wants to criticise the Government he/she should have the opportunity to do so at a closed Party forum &#8212; not in the Press or to benefit the Opposition.    	The Prime Minister can even state such a policy to his Council of the manner in which he expects disagreement with him can be responsibly expressed.  	The spectre of extreme irresponsible Cabinet behaviour of     V. P. Singh and friends in the 1987-1989 period should always be before our mind.   	If such a model of cabinet government is considered the right one for the Centre then guidelines of this sort should go from the Party Working Committee to all appropriate Congress Committees in the States. </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> The Party, the Bureaucracy and Expert Advice </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>As a general rule, recommendations for political action should come to the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers from the Party not from the Bureaucracy.   	Our bureaucracy unlike others in the world is of very high quality.  But like others it is inherently conservative, slow and status-quo-preserving.  The Party on the other hand is or should be made to be inherently radical, fast-moving and status-quo reforming. 	Expert advice should generally enter the process at two different stages.  First the Party should, in view of its political interests, solicit good quality expert advice from a wide spectrum of scholars, journalists, observers, public figures and the man on the street.  On this basis it should make its recommendations for reform of the status-quo as radically as possible to the Government.   	The Government should then solicit a second round of expert advice via the Bureaucracy.  This will be expected to be conservative and resisting change, partly due to normal aversion to risk and partly due to protect vested interests.  In general, conservatives in this context are those whose interests are negatively affected by a change in a positive direction for the country as a whole, while radicals in this context are those desiring to bring about such change.    	If a radical proposal is accepted prematurely without proper preparation of expectations or formulation of a feasible deal, then it will fail due to conservative opposition and momentum will be lost.   	If conservative opposition stymies every proposal, there will be no change and the objective of winning the next election will fail to be achieved.  One of the arts of Indian Government today is to find the right middle ground between radical proposals of change and expected conservative resistance. 	In this connection, part of the Party&#8217;s plan of action for Day One should be to prepare its opinions from now about the names and availability of possible expert personnel on various subjects, and  the sources of correct intelligence and key data indicators for purposes of monitoring implementation. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">I was born in Tehran because my parents were Indian diplomats there, and I would love to go back to visit Iran someday.  Not right now though as the country seems to be  plunging itself into a new Revolution and yesterday&#8217;s Revolutionaries are today&#8217;s  Reactionaries in a way that George Orwell would have understood and might have predicted.  (Back in December 1982, at the American Economic Association meetings in New York City, a man looking surprisingly similar to Mr Mohammad Ahmadinajad approached me  after I had read a paper &#8220;Economic Theory and Development Economics&#8221; to a large audience, introducing himself as a member of the UN delegation of the new Islamic Republic, giving me his card which I never kept&#8230; a story for another time&#8230;)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It would appear to me that the right political course of action would be for the disputed poll to be cancelled &#8212; with the consent and indeed at the  statesmanlike initiative of its declared winner;  to be followed by a short interregnum for normalisation and a calming down of all tempers to occur; and then for fresh polls to occur within, say, two or three months, taking transparent precautions that <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8110877.stm">such an ugly mess</a> not be repeated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">Yesterday the PM is reported to have been asked by someone travelling on his aeroplane from Moscow <em>“whether he had forgiven Advani for calling him a ‘weak Prime Minister’”</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The question was absurd, almost ridiculous, typical of our docile ingratiating rather juvenile English-language press and media, as if any issue of forgiveness arises at all about what one politician says during an election campaign about another politician’s performance in office.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dr Manmohan Singh’s answer was surprising too: <em>&#8220;I was compelled to reply to what Advani said…On May 16 when (Advani) telephoned me, he told me that he was hurt  by some of my statements. He said he was hurt and regretted his statements… I apologised to him if I have hurt him. I am looking forward to a close relationship with the Leader of the Opposition.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So LK Advani appears to have apologised to Manmohan Singh and Manmohan Singh  to LK Advani for what they said about each other during the recent general election campaign!   What is going on?  Were they schoolboys exchanging fisticuffs in a school playground or elderly men battling over power and policy in modern Indian politics?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What would we have done if there was a Churchill in Indian politics today – hurling sarcastic insults at domestic opponents and foreign leaders while guiding a nation on its right course during turbulent times?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Churchill once famously said his parents had not shown him “The Boneless Wonder” in PT Barnum’s circus because it was too horrible a sight but now he had finally seen such a “Boneless Wonder” in his opponent on the Treasury Benches, namely, Ramsay MacDonald.  Of the same opponent he said later “He has the gift of compressing the largest number of words into the smallest amount of thought&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When accused of being drunk by a woman MP he replied &#8220;And you are very ugly, but tomorrow I&#8217;ll be sober&#8221;.   Today’s politically correct world would scream at far less.  Field Marshall Montgomery told Churchill, &#8220;I neither drink nor smoke and am 100% fit,&#8221; to which Churchill replied, &#8220;I drink and smoke and I am 200% fit&#8221;.   That too would be politically incorrect today.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Churchill described Prime Minister Clement Attlee as &#8220;a modest man with much to be modest about&#8221;; also about Attlee: &#8220;If any grub is fed on Royal Jelly it turns into a Queen Bee&#8221;.  Yet Attlee had enough dignity and self-knowledge and self-confidence to brush it all off and instead respect and praise him.  In the 1954 volume <em>Winston Spencer Churchill Servant of Crown and Commonwealth</em> Attlee added his own tribute to his great opponent: “I recall…the period when he was at odds with his own party and took a seat on the Bench below the Gangway on the Government side.  Here he was well placed to fire on both parties.  I remember describing him as a heavily armed tank cruising in No Man’s Land.  Very impressive were the speeches he delivered as the international horizon grew darker.  He became very unpopular with the predominant group in his own party, but he never minded fighting a lone battle.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Stanley Baldwin, who as PM first appointed Churchill as Chancellor of the Exchequer, once said &#8220;There comes Winston with his hundred horsepower mind&#8221;.  Yet Churchill was to later say harshly “I wish Stanley Baldwin no ill, but it would have been much better had he never lived.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Of Lenin, Churchill said, he was &#8220;transported in a sealed truck like a plague bacillus from Switzerland into Russia&#8221;. Of Molotov: &#8220;I have never seen a human being who more perfectly represented the modern concept of a robot.&#8221; Of Hitler, &#8220;If [he] invaded hell I would at least make a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons&#8221;.  Of De Gaulle, &#8220;He was a man without a country yet he acted as if he was head of state&#8221;.&#8221;  Of John Foster Dulles, “[He] is the only bull who carries his china shop with him&#8221;.  Of Stafford Cripps, British Ambassador to the USSR, &#8220;&#8230;a lunatic in a country of lunatics&#8221;; and also “There but for the Grace of God, goes God”.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Decades later, that great neo-Churchillian Margaret Thatcher was on the receiving end of a vast amount of sarcasm.  “President Mitterrand once famously remarked that Thatcher had ‘the eyes of Caligula and the lips of Marilyn Monroe’.  Rather less flatteringly, Dennis Healey described her as Attila the Hen.  She probably took both descriptions as compliments.” (Malcolm Rifkind in <em>Margaret Thatcher’s Revolution: How it Happened and What it Meant</em> edited by Subroto Roy and John Clarke, 2005).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Politics is, and should be, grown up stuff because it deals with human lives and national destinies, and really, if you can’t take the heat please do not enter the kitchen.  The slight Churchillian sarcasm that does arise within modern Indian politics comes very occasionally from Bihar but nowhere else, e.g. about the inevitability of <em>aloo</em> in samosas and of <em>bhaloos</em> in the jungle but no longer of Laloo being in the seat of power.  In general, everyone seems frightfully sombre and self-important though may be in fact short of self-knowledge and hence self-confidence.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What had Manmohan Singh said about LK Advani that he felt he had to apologise for?  That Advani had no substantial political achievement to his credit and did not deserve to be India’s PM.  Manmohan was not alone in making the charge –  Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and numerous other spokesmen and representatives of their party said the same.  Has Manmohan’s apology to Advani been one on behalf of the whole Congress Party itself?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Was Advani’s apology to Manmohan one on behalf of the whole BJP too?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What had the BJP charged Manmohan with that Advani felt he had to apologise for?   Being a “weak PM”.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hmmm.  Frankly, thinking about it, it is hard to count who has <em>not</em> been weak as a PM in India’s modern history.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Certainly Vallabhai Patel as a kind of co-PM was decisive and far from weak back in 1947-48.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lal Bahadur Shastri was not weak when he told Pakistan that a Pakistani attack on Kashmir would result in an Indian attack on Pakistan.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Indira Gandhi was not weak when she resisted the Yahya Khan-Tikka Khan tyranny against Bangladesh.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Had he not been assassinated, Rajiv Gandhi in a second term would have been decisive and not weak in facing up to and tackling the powerful lobbies and special interest groups that have crippled our domestic economic policy for decades.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But the number of such examples may be counted by hand.   Perhaps VP Singh might count, riding in an open jeep to Amritsar, as might AB Vajpayee’s Pokhran II and travelling on a bus to Lahore.   In general, the BJP’s charge that Manmohan was “weak” may have constructively led to serious discussion in the country about the whole nature of the Prime Ministership in modern India, which means raising a whole gamut of issues about Indian governance – about India being the softest of “soft states”, with the softest of “soft government budget constraints” (i.e., endless deficit finance and paper money creation)  etc.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Instead, what we have had thus far is apologies being exchanged for no real political reason between the leaderships of the Government and the Opposition. If two or three sellers come to implicitly carve up a market between themselves they are said by economic theory to be colluding rather than being in competition.  Indian politics may be revealing such implicit collusive behaviour.  The goal of this political oligopoly would seem to be to preserve and promote the status quo of the post-1947 Dilli Raj with its special hereditary <em>nomenclatura</em>, at the expense of anonymous diffused teeming India.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">The Hon’ble Dr Manmohan Singh, MP, Rajya Sabha</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Prime Minister of India</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Respected Pradhan Mantriji:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In September 1993 at the residence of the Indian Ambassador to Washington, I had the privilege of being introduced to you by our Ambassador the Hon’ble Siddhartha Shankar Ray, Bar-at-Law. Ambassador Ray was kind enough to introduce me saying the 1991 “Congress manifesto had been written on (my laptop) computer” – a reference to my work as adviser on economic and other policy to the late Rajiv Gandhi in his last months. I presented you a book <em>Foundations of India’s Political Economy: Towards an Agenda for the 1990s</em> created and edited by myself and WE James at the University of Hawaii since 1986 &#8212; the unpublished manuscript of that book had reached Rajivji by my hand when he and I first met on September 18 1990. Tragically, my pleadings in subsequent months to those around him that he seemed to my layman’s eyes vulnerable to the assassin went unheeded.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When you and I met in 1993, we had both forgotten another meeting twenty years earlier in Paris. My father had been a long-time friend of the late Brahma Kaul, ICS, and the late MG Kaul, ICS, who knew you in your early days in the Government of India. In the late summer of 1973, you had acceded to my father’s request to advise me about economics before I embarked for the London School of Economics as a freshman undergraduate. You visited our then-home in Paris for about 40 minutes despite your busy schedule as part of an Indian delegation to the Aid-India Consortium. We ended up having a tense debate about the merits (as you saw them) and demerits (as I saw them) of the Soviet influence on Indian economic “planning”. You had not expected such controversy from a lad of 18 but you were kindly disposed and offered when departing to write a letter of introduction to Amartya Sen, then teaching at the LSE, which you later sent me and which I was delighted to carry to Professor Sen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I may add my father, back in 1973 in Paris, had predicted to me that you would become Prime Minister of India one day, and he, now in his 90s, is joined by myself in sending our warm congratulations at the start of your second term in that high office.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The controversy though that you and I had entered that Paris day in 1973 about scientific economics as applied to India, must be renewed afresh!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This is because of your categorical statement on June 9 2009 to the new 15<sup>th</sup> Lok Sabha:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>“I am convinced, since our savings rate is as high as 35%, given the collective will, if all of us work together, we can achieve a growth-rate of 8%-9%, even if the world economy does not do well.” (Statement of Dr Manmohan Singh to the Lok Sabha, June 9 2009)</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I am afraid there may be multiple reasons why such a statement is gravely and incorrigibly in error within scientific economics. From your high office as Prime Minister in a second term, faced perhaps with no significant opposition from either within or without your party, it is possible the effects of such an error may spell macroeconomic catastrophe for India.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://www.prospect-magazine.co.uk/article_details.php?id=8174">As it happens, the British Labour Party politician Dr Meghnad Desai made an analogous statement to yours about India when he claimed in 2006 that China</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“<strong>now has 10.4% growth on a 44 % savings rate… ”</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Indeed the idea that China and India have had extremely high economic growth-rates based on purportedly astronomical savings rates has become a commonplace in recent years, repeated endlessly in international and domestic policy circles though perhaps without adequate basis.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>1.   Germany &amp; Japan </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What, at the outset, is supposed to be measured when we speak of “growth”? Indian businessmen and their media friends seem to think “growth” refers to something like nominal earnings before tax for the organised corporate sector, or any unspecified number that can be sold to visiting foreigners to induce them to park their funds in India: “You will get a 10% return if you invest in India” to which the visitor says “Oh that must mean India has 10% growth going on”. Of such nonsense are expensive international conferences in Davos and Delhi often made.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">You will doubtless agree the economist at least must define economic growth properly and with care &#8212; what is referred to must be <strong><em>annual growth of per capita inflation-adjusted Gross Domestic Product.</em> </strong>(Per capita National Income or Net National Product would be even better if available).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">West Germany and Japan had the highest annual per capita real GDP growth-rates in the world economy starting from devastated post-World War II initial conditions. What were their measured rates?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>West Germany</strong>: <strong>6.6% in 1950-1960, falling to 3.5% by 1960-1970 falling to 2.4% by 1970-1978</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Japan:</strong> <strong>6.8 % in 1952-1960 rising to 9.4% in 1960-1970 falling to 3.8 % in 1970-1978</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Thus in recent decades<strong> </strong>only Japan measured a spike in the 1960s of more than 9% annual growth of real per capita GDP. Now India and China are said to be achieving 8%-10 % and more year after year routinely!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Perhaps we are observing an incredible phenomenon of world economic history. Or perhaps it is just something incredible, something false and misleading, like a mirage in the desert.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">You may agree that processes of measurement of real income in India both at federal and provincial levels, still remain well short of the world standards described by the UN’s System of National Accounts 1993. The actuality of our real GDP growth may be better than what is being measured or it may be worse than what is being measured – from the point of view of public decision-making we at present simply do not know which it is, and to overly rely on such numbers in national decisions may be unwise. In any event, India’s population is growing at near 2% so even if your Government’s measured number of 8% or 9% is taken at face-value, we have to subtract 2% population growth to get per capita figures.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>2.  Growth of the <em>aam admi</em>’s consumption-basket</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The late Professor Milton Friedman had been an invited adviser in 1955 to the Government of India during the Second Five Year Plan’s formulation. The Government of India suppressed what he had to say and I had to publish it 34 years later in May 1989 during the 1986-1992 perestroika-for-India project that I led at the University of Hawaii in the United States. His November 1955 Memorandum to the Government of India is a chapter in the book <em>Foundations of India’s Political Economy: Towards an Agenda for the 1990s </em>that I and WE James created.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://independentindian.com/1989/05/21/milton-friedmans-extempore-comments-at-the-1989-hawaii-conference-on-india-israel-palestine-the-usa-debt-and-its-uses-etc/">At the 1989 project-conference itself, Professor Friedman made the following astute observation about all GNP, GDP etc growth-numbers that speaks for itself:</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>“I don’t believe the term GNP ought to be used unless it is supplemented by a different statistic: the rate of growth of the average consumption basket consumed by the ordinary individual in the country. I think GNP rates of growth can give very misleading information. For example, you have rapid rates of growth of GNP in the Soviet Union with a declining standard of life for the people. Because GNP includes monuments and includes also other things. I’m not saying that that is the case with India; I’m just saying I would like to see the two figures together.”</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">You may perhaps agree upon reflection that not only may our national income growth measurements be less robust than we want, it may be better to be measuring something else instead, or as well, as a measure of the economic welfare of India’s people, namely, <strong>“the rate of growth of the average consumption basket consumed by the ordinary individual in the country”, i.e., the rate of growth of the average consumption basket consumed by the <em>aam admi</em>. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It would be excellent indeed if you were to instruct your Government’s economists and other spokesmen to do so this as it may be something more reliable as an indicator of our economic realities than all the waffle generated by crude aggregate growth-rates.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>3.  Logic of your model</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Thirdly, the logic needs to be spelled out of the economic model that underlies such statements as yours or Meghnad Desai’s that seek to operationally relate savings rates to aggregate growth rates in India or China. This seems not to have been done publicly in living memory by the Planning Commission or other Government economists. I have had to refer, therefore, to pages 251-253 of my own Cambridge doctoral thesis under Professor Frank Hahn thirty years ago, titled “On liberty and economic growth: preface to a philosophy for India”, where the logic of such models as yours was spelled out briefly as follows:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Let</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">K<sub>t</sub> be capital stock</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Y<sub>t </sub> be national output</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I<sub>t </sub> be the level of real investment</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">S<sub>t</sub> be the level of real savings</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">By definition</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I<sub>t</sub> = K <sub>t+1</sub> – K<sub>t</sub></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">By assumption</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">K<sub>t</sub> = k Y<sub>t </sub> 0 &lt; k &lt; 1</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">S<sub>t</sub> = sY<sub>t </sub> 0 &lt; s &lt;1</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In equilibrium <em>ex ante</em> investment equals <em>ex ante</em> savings</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I<sub>t</sub> = S<sub>t</sub></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hence in equilibrium</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">sY<sub>t</sub> = K <sub>t+1</sub> – K<sub>t</sub></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Or</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>s/k = g</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">where g is defined to be the rate of growth (Y <sub>t+1</sub>-Y<sub>t</sub>)/Y<sub>t  .<br />
</sub>
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The left hand side then defines the “warranted rate of growth” which must maintain the famous “knife-edge” with the right hand side “natural rate of growth”.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Your June 9 2009 Lok Sabha statement that a 35% rate of savings in India may lead to an 8%-9% rate of economic growth in India, or Meghnad Desai’s statement that a 44% rate of savings in China led to a 10.4% growth there, can only be made meaningful in the context of a logical economic model like the one I have given above.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">[In the open-economy version of the model, let M<sub>t </sub>be imports, E<sub>t</sub> be exports, F<sub>t</sub> net capital inflows.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Assume</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">M<sub>t </sub>= aI<sub>t</sub> + bY<sub>t</sub> 0 &lt; a, b &lt; 1</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E<sub>t </sub>= E for all t</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Balance of payments is</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">B<sub>t</sub> = M<sub>t</sub> – E<sub>t </sub>– F<sub>t</sub></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In equilibrium I<sub>t</sub> = S<sub>t</sub> + B<sub>t</sub></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Or</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">F<sub>t</sub> = (s+b) Y<sub>t</sub> – (1-a) I<sub>t </sub> - E is a kind of “warranted” level of net capital inflow.]</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">You may perhaps agree upon reflection that building the entire macroeconomic policy of the Government of India merely upon a piece of economic logic as simplistic as the</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>s/k = g</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">equation above, may spell an unacceptable risk to the future economic well-being of our vast population. An alternative procedural direction for macroeconomic policy, with more obviously positive and profound consequences, may have been that which I sought to persuade Rajiv Gandhi about with some success in 1990-1991. Namely, to systematically seek to improve towards normalcy the budgets, financial positions and decision-making capacities of the Union and all state and local governments as well as all public institutions, organisations, entities, and projects in general, with the aim of making our domestic money a genuine hard currency of the world again after seven decades, so that any ordinary resident of India may hold and trade precious metals and foreign exchange at his/her local bank just like all those glamorous privileged NRIs have been permitted to do. Such an alternative path has been described in <a href="http://independentindian.com/2008/12/01/the-indian-revolution/">“The Indian Revolution”</a>, <a href="http://independentindian.com/2007/09/24/against-quackery/">“Against Quackery”</a>, <a href="http://independentindian.com/2006/01/08/the-dream-team-a-critique/">“The Dream Team: A Critique”,</a> <a href="http://independentindian.com/2007/01/20/indias-macroeconomics/">“India’s Macroeconomics”</a>, <a href="http://independentindian.com/2008/07/09/indian-inflation-upside-down-economics-from-new-delhis-establishment/">“Indian Inflation”</a>, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>4. Gross exaggeration of real savings rate by misreading deposit multiplication</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Specifically, I am afraid you may have been misled into thinking India’s real savings rate, <strong>s</strong>, is as high as 35% just as Meghnad Desai may have misled himself into thinking China’s real savings rate is as high as 44%.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Neither of you may have wanted to make such a claim if you had referred to the fact that over the last 25 years, the average savings rate across all OECD countries has been less than 10%. Economic theory always finds claims of discontinuous behaviour to be questionable. If the average OECD citizen has been trying to save 10% of disposable income at best, it appears prima facie odd that India’s PM claims a savings rate as high as 35% for India or a British politician has claimed a savings rate as high as 44% for China. Something may be wrong in the measurement of the allegedly astronomical savings rates of India and China. The late Professor Nicholas Kaldor himself, after all, suggested it was rich people who saved and poor people who did not for the simple reason the former had something left over to save which the latter did not!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And indeed something is wrong in the measurements. What has happened, I believe, is that there has been a misreading of the vast nominal expansion of bank deposits via deposit-multiplication in the Indian banking system, an expansion that has been caused by explosive deficit finance over the last four or five decades. That vast nominal expansion of bank-deposits has been misread as indicating growth of real savings behaviour instead. I have written and spoken about and shown this quite extensively in the last half dozen years since I first discovered it in the case of India. E.g., in a lecture titled “Can India become an economic superpower or will there be a monetary meltdown?” at Cardiff University’s Institute of Applied Macroeconomics and at London’s Institute of Economic Affairs in April 2005, as well as in May 2005 at a monetary economics seminar invited at the RBI by Dr Narendra Jadav. The same may be true of China though I have looked at it much less.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://independentindian.com/2007/03/05/fallacious-finance-the-congress-bjp-cpi-m-et-al-may-be-leading-india-to-hyperinflation/">How I described this phenomenon in a 2007 article in <em>The Statesman</em> is this:</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“Savings is indeed normally measured by adding financial and non-financial savings. Financial savings include bank-deposits. But India is not a normal country in this. Nor is China. Both have seen massive exponential growth of bank-deposits in the last few decades. Does this mean Indians and Chinese are saving phenomenally high fractions of their incomes by assiduously putting money away into their shaky nationalized banks? Sadly, it does not. What has happened is government deficit-financing has grown explosively in both countries over decades. In a “fractional reserve” banking system (i.e. a system where your bank does not keep the money you deposited there but lends out almost all of it immediately), government expenditure causes bank-lending, and bank-lending causes bank-deposits to expand. Yes there has been massive expansion of bank-deposits in India but it is a nominal paper phenomenon and does not signify superhuman savings behaviour. Indians keep their assets mostly in metals, land, property, cattle, etc., and as cash, not as bank deposits.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://independentindian.com/2008/09/28/monetary-integrity-and-the-rupee/">An article of mine in 2008 in <em>Business Standard</em> put it like this:</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“India has followed in peacetime over six decades what the US and Britain followed during war. Our vast growth of bank deposits in recent decades has been mostly a paper (or nominal) phenomenon caused by unlimited deficit finance in a fractional reserve banking system. Policy makers have widely misinterpreted it as indicating a real phenomenon of incredibly high savings behaviour. In an inflationary environment, people save their wealth less as paper deposits than as real assets like land, cattle, buildings, machinery, food stocks, jewellery etc.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If you asked me “What then is India’s real savings rate?” I have little answer to give except to say I know what it is not – it is not what the Government of India says it is. It is certainly unlikely to be anywhere near the 35% you stated it to be in your June 9 2009 Lok Sabha statement. If the OECD’s real savings rate has been something like 10% out of disposable income, I might accept India’s is, say, 15% at a maximum when properly measured – far from the 35% being claimed. What I believe may have been mismeasured by you and Meghnad Desai and many others as indicating high real savings is actually the nominal or paper expansion of bank-deposits in a fractional reserve banking system induced by runaway government deficit-spending in both India and China over the last several decades.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>5. Technological progress and the mainsprings of real economic growth</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So much for the <strong>g</strong> and <strong>s</strong> variables in the <strong>s/k = g</strong> equation in your economic model. But the assumed constant <strong>k</strong> is a big problem too!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">During the 1989 perestroika-for-India project-conference, Professor Friedman referred to his 1955 experience in India and said this about the assumption of a constant <strong>k</strong>:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>“I think there was an enormously important point… That was the almost universal acceptance at that time of the view that there was a sort of technologically fixed capital output ratio. That if you wanted to develop, you just had to figure out how much capital you needed, used as a statistical technological capital output ratio, and by God the next day you could immediately tell what output you were going to achieve. That was a large part of the motivation behind some of the measures that were taken then.”</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The crucial problem of the sort of growth-model from which your formulation relating savings to growth arises is that, with a constant <strong>k,</strong> <em>you have necessarily neglected the real source of economic growth, which is technological progress! </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I said in the 2007 article referred to above:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“Economic growth in India as elsewhere arises not because of what politicians and bureaucrats do in capital cities, but because of spontaneous technological progress, improved productivity and learning-by-doing on part of the general population. Technological progress is a very general notion, and applies to any and every production activity or commercial transaction that now can be accomplished more easily or using fewer inputs than before.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://independentindian.com/2008/02/22/growth-government-delusion/">In “Growth and Government Delusion” published in <em>The Statesman </em>last year</a>, I described the growth process more fully like this:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“The mainsprings of real growth in the wealth of the individual, and so of the nation, are greater practical learning, increases in capital resources and improvements in technology. Deeper skills and improved dexterity cause output produced with fewer inputs than before, i.e. greater productivity. Adam Smith said there is “invention of a great number of machines which facilitate and abridge labour, and enable one man to do the work of many”. Consider a real life example. A fresh engineering graduate knows dynamometers are needed in testing and performance-certification of diesel engines. He strips open a meter, finds out how it works, asks engine manufacturers what design improvements they want to see, whether they will buy from him if he can make the improvement. He finds out prices and properties of machine tools needed and wages paid currently to skilled labour, calculates expected revenues and costs, and finally tries to persuade a bank of his production plans, promising to repay loans from his returns. Overcoming restrictions of religion or caste, the secular agent is spurred by expectation of future gains to approach various others with offers of contract, and so organize their efforts into one. If all his offers ~ to creditors, labour, suppliers ~ are accepted he is, for the moment, in business. He may not be for long ~ but if he succeeds his actions will have caused an improvement in design of dynamometers and a reduction in the cost of diesel engines, as well as an increase in the economy’s produced means of production (its capital stock) and in the value of contracts made. His creditors are more confident of his ability to repay, his buyers of his product quality, he himself knows more of his workers’ skills, etc. If these people enter a second and then a third and fourth set of contracts, the increase in mutual trust in coming to agreement will quickly decline in relation to the increased output of capital goods. The first source of increasing returns to scale in production, and hence the mainspring of real economic growth, arises from the successful completion of exchange. Transforming inputs into outputs necessarily takes time, and it is for that time the innovator or entrepreneur or “capitalist” or “adventurer” must persuade his creditors to trust him, whether bankers who have lent him capital or workers who have lent him labour. The essence of the enterprise (or “firm”) he tries to get underway consists of no more than the set of contracts he has entered into with the various others, his position being unique because he is the only one to know who all the others happen to be at the same time. In terms introduced by Professor Frank Hahn, the entrepreneur transforms himself from being “anonymous” to being “named” in the eyes of others, while also finding out qualities attaching to the names of those encountered in commerce. Profits earned are partly a measure of the entrepreneur’s success in this simultaneous process of discovery and advertisement. Another potential entrepreneur, fresh from engineering college, may soon pursue the pioneer’s success and start displacing his product in the market ~ eventually chasers become pioneers and then get chased themselves, and a process of dynamic competition would be underway. As it unfolds, anonymous and obscure graduates from engineering colleges become by dint of their efforts and a little luck, named and reputable firms and perhaps founders of industrial families. Multiply this simple story many times, with a few million different entrepreneurs and hundreds of thousands of different goods and services, and we shall be witnessing India’s actual Industrial Revolution, not the fake promise of it from self-seeking politicians and bureaucrats.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Technological progress in a myriad of ways and discovery of new resources are important factors contributing to India’s growth today. But while India’s “real” economy does well, the “nominal” paper-money economy controlled by Government does not. Continuous deficit financing for half a century has led to exponential growth of public debt and broad money, and, as noted, the vast growth of nominal bank-deposits has been misinterpreted as indicating unusually high real savings behaviour when it in fact may just signal vast amounts of government debt being held by our nationalised banks. These bank assets may be liquid domestically but are illiquid internationally since our government debt is not held by domestic households as voluntary savings nor has it been a liquid asset held worldwide in foreign portfolios.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What politicians of all parties, especially your own and the BJP and CPI-M since they are the three largest, have been presiding over is exponential growth of our paper money supply, which has even reached 22% per annum. Parliament and the Government should be taking honest responsibility for this because it may certainly portend double-digit inflation (i.e., decline in the value of paper-money) perhaps as high as 14%-15% per annum, something that is certain to affect the <em>aam admi</em>’s economic welfare adversely.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>6. Selling Government assets to Big Business is a bad idea in a potentially hyperinflationary economy</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Respected PradhanMantriji, the record would show that I, and really I alone, 25 years ago, may have been the first among Indian economists to advocate  the privatisation of the public sector. (Viz, <a href="http://independentindian.com/introduction-and-some-biography/pricing-planning-politics-a-study-of-economic-distortions-in-india-1984/silver-jubilee-of-%E2%80%9Cpricing-planning-politics-a-study-of-economic-distortions-in-india%E2%80%9D/">“Silver Jubilee of <em>Pricing, Planning and Politics: A Study of Economic Distortions in India</em></a>”.) In spite of this, I have to say clearly now that in present circumstances of a potentially hyperinflationary economy created by your Government and its predecessors, I believe your Government’s present plans to sell Government assets may be an exceptionally unwise and imprudent idea. The reasoning is very simple from within monetary economics.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Government every year has produced paper rupees and bank deposits in practically unlimited amounts to pay for its practically unlimited deficit financing, and it has behaved thus over decades. Such has been the nature of the macroeconomic process that all Indian political parties have been part of, whether they are aware of it or not.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Indian Big Business has an acute sense of this long-term nominal/paper expansion of India’s economy, and acts towards converting wherever possible its own hoards of paper rupees and rupee-denominated assets into more valuable portfolios for itself of real or durable assets, most conspicuously including hard-currency denominated assets, farm-land and urban real-estate, and, now, the physical assets of the Indian public sector. Such a path of trying to transform local domestic paper assets – produced unlimitedly by Government monetary and fiscal policy and naturally destined to depreciate — into real durable assets, is a privately rational course of action to follow in an inflationary economy. It is not rocket-science to realise the long-term path of rupee-denominated assets is downwards in comparison to the hard-currencies of the world – just compare our money supply growth and inflation rates with those of the rest of the world.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>The Statesman</em> of November 15 2006 had a lead editorial titled <em>Government’s land-fraud: Cheating peasants in a hyperinflation-prone economy</em> which said:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“There is something fundamentally dishonourable about the way the Centre, the state of West Bengal and other state governments are treating the issue of expropriating peasants, farm-workers, petty shop-keepers etc of their small plots of land in the interests of promoters, industrialists and other businessmen. Singur may be but one example of a phenomenon being seen all over the country: Hyderabad, Karnataka, Kerala, Haryana, everywhere. So-called “Special Economic Zones” will merely exacerbate the problem many times over. India and its governments do not belong only to business and industrial lobbies, and what is good for private industrialists may or may not be good for India’s people as a whole. Economic development does not necessarily come to be defined by a few factories or high-rise housing complexes being built here or there on land that has been taken over by the Government, paying paper-money compensation to existing stakeholders, and then resold to promoters or industrialists backed by powerful political interest-groups on a promise that a few thousand new jobs will be created. One fundamental problem has to do with inadequate systems of land-description and definition, implementation and recording of property rights. An equally fundamental problem has to do with fair valuation of land owned by peasants etc. in terms of an inconvertible paper-money. Every serious economist knows that “land” is defined as that specific factor of production and real asset whose supply is fixed and does not increase in response to its price. Every</em> <em>serious economist also knows that paper-money is that nominal asset whose price can be made to catastrophically decline by a massive increase in its supply, i.e. by Government printing more of the paper it holds a monopoly to print. For Government to compensate people with paper-money it prints itself by valuing their land on the basis of an average of the price of the last few years, is for Government to cheat them of the fair present-value of the land. That present-value of land must be calculated in the way the present-value of any asset comes to be calculated, namely, by summing the likely discounted cash-flows of future values. And those future values should account for the likelihood of a massive future inflation causing decline in the value of</em> <em>paper-money in view of the fact we in India have a domestic public debt of some Rs. 30 trillion (Rs. 30 lakh crore) and counting, and money supply growth rates averaging 16-17% per annum. In fact, a responsible Government would, given the inconvertible nature of the rupee, have used foreign exchange or gold as the unit of account in calculating future-values of the land. India’s peasants are probably being cheated by their Government of real assets whose value is expected to rise, receiving nominal paper assets in compensation whose value is expected to fall.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Shortly afterwards the Hon’ble MP for Kolkata Dakshin, Km Mamata Banerjee, started her protest fast, riveting the nation’s attention in the winter of 2006-2007. What goes for government buying land on behalf of its businessman friends also goes, <em>mutatis mutandis</em>, for the public sector’s real assets being bought up by the private sector using domestic paper money in a potentially hyperinflationary economy. If your new Government wishes to see real assets of the public sector being sold for paper money, let it seek to value these assets not in inconvertible rupees that Government itself has been producing in unlimited quantities but perhaps in forex or gold-units instead!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In the 2004-2005 volume <em>Margaret Thatcher’s Revolution: How it Happened and What it Meant</em>, edited by myself and Professor John Clarke, there is a chapter by Professor Patrick Minford on Margaret Thatcher’s fiscal and monetary policy (macroeconomics) that was placed ahead of the chapter by Professor Martin Ricketts on Margaret Thatcher’s privatisation (microeconomics). India’s fiscal and monetary or macroeconomic problems are far worse today than Britain’s were when Margaret Thatcher came to power. We need to get our macroeconomic problems sorted before we attempt the  microeconomic privatisation of public assets.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is wonderful that your young party colleague, the Hon’ble MP from Amethi, Shri Rahul Gandhi, has declined to join the present Government and instead wishes to reflect further on <a href="http://independentindian.com/introduction-and-some-biography/rajiv-gandhi-and-the-origins-of-india%E2%80%99s-1991-economic-reform/">the “common man” and “common woman” about whom I had described his late father talking to me on September 18 1990</a>. Certainly the <strong><em>aam admi</em></strong> is not someone to be found among India’s lobbyists of organised Big Business or organised Big Labour who have tended to control government agendas from the big cities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">Any Lok Sabha MP who neither sits with the Opposition nor is a sworn-in member of the Government is a Backbench MP of the Government party or its coalition.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Shrimati Sonia Gandhi is the most prominent of such Backbench MPs in the 15th Lok Sabha, just as she was of the 14th Lok Sabha, and has chosen to be in a most peculiar position from the point of view of parliamentary law.  As the leader of the largest parliamentary party, she could have been not merely a member of the Government but its Prime Minister.  She has in fact had a decisive role in determining the composition of the Manmohan Government as well as its policies.  She in fact sits on the Frontbenches in the Lok Sabha along with the Manmohan Government.  But she is not a member of the Government and is, formally speaking, a Backbench MP who is choosing to sit in the Frontbenches.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(Dr Manmohan Singh himself, not being a member of the Lok Sabha, may, formally speaking, sit or speak from among the Frontbenches of his own Government only by invitation of the Lok Sabha Speaker as a courtesy – such would have been the cardinal reason why Alec Douglas-Home resigned from being Lord Home and instead stood for a House of Commons seat when he was appointed British Prime Minister.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sonia Gandhi’s son, Mr Rahul Gandhi, is also a Backbench MP.  From all accounts, including that of Dr Singh himself, he could have been a member of Dr Singh’s Government but has specifically chosen not to be.  He has appeared to have had some much lesser role than Sonia Gandhi in determining the composition of the Government and its policies but he is not a member of it. He is, formally speaking, a Backbench MP, indeed the most prominent to actually sit in the Backbenches, as he had done in the 14th Lok Sabha, which, it is to be hoped, he does in the 15th Lok Sabha too.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and their 541 other fellow 15th Lok Sabha MPs were declared winners by May 16 2009 having won the Indian people’s vote.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(<a href="http://independentindian.com/2009/05/13/well-done-sonia-rahul-two-hours-before-polls-close-today-i-am-willing-to-predict-a-big-victory-for-you-but-please-try-to-get-your-economics-right-and-also-you-must-get-dr-singh-a-lok-sabha-seat/">Incidentally, I predicted the outcome here two hours before polls closed on May 13</a> – how I did so is simply by having done the necessary work of determining that some 103 million people had voted for Congress in 2004 against some 86 million for the BJP; in my assessment Congress had done more than enough by way of political rhetoric and political reality to maintain if not extend that difference in 2009, i.e., the BJP had not done nearly enough to even begin to get enough of a net drift in its favour. I expect when the data are out it shall be seen that the margin of the raw vote between them has been much enlarged from 2004.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As I have pointed out here over the last fortnight, there was no legal or logical reason why the  whole 15th Lok Sabha could not have been sworn in latest by May 18 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Instead, Dr Manmohan Singh on May 18 held a purported “Cabinet” meeting of the defunct <em>14th</em> Lok Sabha – an institution that had been automatically dissolved when Elections had been first announced!   The Government then went about forming itself over two weeks despite the 15th Lok Sabha, on whose confidence it depended for its political legitimacy, not having been allowed to meet.  Everyone – the Congress Party’s Supreme Court advocates, the Lok Sabha Secretariat, the Election Commission, Rashtrapati Bhavan too –  seems to have gotten it awfully wrong by placing the cart before the horse.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In our system it is Parliament that is sovereign, not the Executive Government.  In fact the Executive is accountable to Parliament, specifically the Lok Sabha, and is supposed to be guided by it as well as hold its confidence at all times.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What has happened instead this time is that Government ministers have been busy taking oaths and entering their offices and making policy-decisons days before they have taken their oaths and their seats as Lok Sabha MPs!  The Government has thus started off by diminishing Parliament’s sovereignty and this should not be allowed to happen again.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(Of course why it took place is because of the peculiarity of the victory relative to our experience in recent decades – nobody could remember parliamentary traditions from Nehru’s time in the 1950s.  Even so, someone, e.g. the former Speaker, should have known and insisted upon explaining the relevant aspect of parliamentary law and hence avoided this breach.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A central question now is whether a Government which has such a large majority, and which is led by someone in and has numerous ministers from the Rajya Sabha, is going to be adequately controlled and feel itself accountable to the Lok Sabha.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Neither of the Lok Sabha’s most prominent Backbenchers, Sonia Gandhi and  Rahul Gandhi, have thus far distinguished themselves as Parliamentarians on the floor of the Lok Sabha.  In the 14th Lok Sabha, Sonia Gandhi, sitting in the Frontbenches, exercised the  enormous control that she did over the Government not on the floor of the House itself but  from outside it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It would be best of all if she chose in the 15th Lok Sabha to actually physically sit in the Congress&#8217;s Backbenches because that would ensure best that the Government Party&#8217;s ministers in the Frontbenches will keep having to seek to be accountable to the  Backbenches!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But this seems unlikely to happen in view of the fact she herself seems to have personally influenced the choice of a Speaker for the 15th Lok Sabha and it may be instead expected that she continues to sit on the Frontbenches with the Government without being a member of it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">That leaves Rahul Gandhi.  If he too comes to be persuaded by the sycophants to sit on the Frontbenches with the Government, that will not be a healthy sign.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On the other hand, if he continues to sit on the Backbenches, he may be able to have a salubrious influence on the 15th Lok Sabha fulfilling its responsibility of seeking to seriously control and hold accountable the Executive Government,  and not be bullied or intimidated by it.  His paternal grandfather, Feroze Gandhi, after all, may have been India’s most eminent and effective Backbench MP yet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">The Government of India&#8217;s 79 Ministers have taken to their offices like bees to honey yet the 15th Lok Sabha that the people of India elected a fortnight ago is still three days from being convened.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In other words, people have been taking oaths and entering offices as Ministers even before they have taken their oaths or their seats in the 15th Lok Sabha which accords the Government its political legitimacy by its confidence!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Let posterity recall that the 15th Lok Sabha was made to needlessly wait from May 16 2009 until June 1 2009 and despite this the Government formed itself and entered office during that time.  It cannot be something that helps the psychology or morale of  our elected representatives nor be something conducive to the smooth working of the House.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is all a terrible constitutional muddle  which I doubt the PM or his party or Government, or even the Opposition, will admit to or want to clear up on their own but shall probably have to await a Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court of India telling them  what  parliamentary law is in due course.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="float:right;margin-left:10px;margin-bottom:10px;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is a quarter century precisely today since my monograph <em>Pricing, Planning and Politics: A Study of Economic Distortions in India</em> was first published in London by the Institute of Economic Affairs.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4068" title="ppp1984" src="http://drsubrotoroy.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/ppp19842.jpg?w=188&#038;h=300" alt="ppp1984" width="188" height="300" /></p>
<p><a href="http://independentindian.com/introduction-and-some-biography/pricing-planning-politics-a-study-of-economic-distortions-in-india-1984/">Its text is now available (in slightly rough form) at this site here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now in May 1984, Indira Gandhi ruled in Delhi, and the ghost of Brezhnev was still fresh in Moscow.   The era of Margaret Thatcher in Britain and Ronald Reagan in America was at its height.   <em>Pricing, Planning &amp; Politics</em> emerged from my 1976-1982 doctoral thesis at Cambridge though it came to be written in Blacksburg and Ithaca in 1982-1983.   It was the first critique after BR Shenoy of India’s Sovietesque economics since Jawaharlal Nehru’s time.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>The Times</em>, London&#8217;s most eminent paper at the time, wrote its lead editorial comment about it on the day it was published, May 29 1984.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">It used to take several days for the library at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg to receive its copy of <em>The Times</em> of London and other British newspapers.    I had not been told of the date of publication and did not know of what had happened in London on May 29 until perhaps June 2 &#8212; when a friend, Vasant Dave of a children&#8217;s charity, who was on campus, phoned me and congratulated me for being featured in <em>The Times </em>which he had just read in the University Library.  &#8220;You mean they&#8217;ve reviewed it?&#8221;  I asked him, &#8220;No, it&#8217;s the lead editorial.&#8221; &#8220;What?&#8221; I exclaimed.  There was worse.  Vasant was very soft-spoken and said &#8220;Yes, it&#8217;s titled &#8216;India&#8217;s Bad Example&#8217;&#8221; &#8212; which I misheard on the phone as &#8220;India&#8217;s Mad Example&#8221;  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/face-smile-big.png' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Drat! I thought (or words to that effect), they must have lambasted me, as I rushed down to the Library to take a look.</p>
<p><em>The Times</em> had said<em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;When Mr. Dennis Healey in the Commons recently stated that Hongkong, with one per cent of the population of India has twice India&#8217;s trade, he was making an important point about Hongkong but an equally important point about India.   If Hongkong with one per cent of its population and less than 0.03 per cert of India&#8217;s land area (without even water as a natural resource) can so outpace India, there must be something terribly wrong with the way Indian governments have managed their affairs, and there is.   A paper by an Indian economist published today (Pricing, Planning and Politics: A Study of Economic Distortions in India by Subroto Roy, IEA £1.80) shows how Asia&#8217;s largest democracy is gradually being stifled by the imposition of economic policies whose woeful effect and rhetorical unreality find their echo all over the Third World.   As with many of Britain&#8217;s former imperial possessions, the rot set in long before independence.  But as with most of the other former dependencies, the instrument of economic regulation and bureaucratic control set up by the British has been used decisively and expansively to consolidate a statist regime which inhibits free enterprise, minimizes economic success and consolidates the power of government in all spheres of the economy.  We hear little of this side of things when India rattles the borrowing bowl or denigrates her creditors for want of further munificence.  How could Indian officials explain their poor performance relative to Hongkong?  Dr Roy has the answers for them.   He lists the causes as a large and heavily subsidized public sector, labyrinthine control over private enterprise, forcibly depressed agricultural prices, massive import substitution, government monopoly of foreign exchange transactions, artificially overvalued currency and the extensive politicization of the labour market, not to mention the corruption which is an inevitable side effect of an economy which depends on the arbitrament of bureaucrats.  The first Indian government under Nehru took its cue from Nehru&#8217;s admiration of the Soviet economy, which led him to believe that the only policy for India was socialism in which there would be &#8220;no private property except in a restricted sense and the replacement of the private profit system by a higher ideal of cooperative service.&#8221;  Consequently, the Indian government has now either a full monopoly or is one of a few oligipolists in banking, insurance, railways, airlines, cement, steel, chemicals, fertilizers, ship-building, breweries, telephones and wrist-watches.   No businessman can expand his operation while there is any surplus capacity anywhere in that sector.  He needs government approval to modernize, alter his price-structure, or change his labour shift.  It is not surprising that a recent study of those developing countries which account for most manufactured exports from the Third World shows that India&#8217;s share fell from 65 percent in 1953 to 10 per cent in 1973; nor, with the numerous restrictions on inter-state movement of grains, that India has over the years suffered more from an inability to cope with famine than during the Raj when famine drill was centrally organized and skillfully executed without restriction. Nehru&#8217;s attraction for the Soviet model has been inherited by his daughter, Mrs. Gandhi.  Her policies have clearly positioned India more towards the Soviet Union than the West.  The consequences of this, as Dr Roy states, is that a bias can be seen in &#8220;the antipathy and pessimism towards market institutions found among the urban public, and sympathy and optimism to be found for collectivist or statist ones.&#8221;  All that India has to show for it is the delivery of thousands of tanks in exchange for bartered goods, and the erection of steel mills and other heavy industry which help to perpetuate the unfortunate obsession with industrial performance at the expense of agricultural growth and the relief of rural poverty.&#8221;…..</em></p>
<p>I felt this may have been intended to be laudatory but it was also inaccurate and had to be corrected.  I replied dated June 4 which <em>The Times</em> published in their edition of  June 16 1984:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4062" title="timesletter-11" src="http://drsubrotoroy.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/timesletter-11.jpg?w=227&#038;h=734" alt="timesletter-11" width="227" height="734" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I was 29 when <em>Pricing, Planning and Politics</em> was published, I am 54 now. I do not agree with everything I said in it and find the tone a little puffed up as young men tend to be; it was also five years before my main “theoretical” work <em>Philosophy of Economics</em> would be published. My experience of life in the years since has also made me far less sanguine both about human nature and about America than I was then. But I am glad to find I am not embarrassed by what I said then, indeed I am pleased I said what I did in favour of classical liberalism and against statism and totalitarianism well before it became popular to do so after the Berlin Wall fell. (In India as elsewhere, former communist <em>apparatchiks</em> and fellow-travellers became pseudo-liberals overnight.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The editorial itself may have been due to a conversation between Peter Bauer and William Rees-Mogg, so I later heard. The work sold 700 copies in its first month, a record for the publisher. The wife of one prominent Indian bureaucrat told me in Delhi in December 1988 it had affected her husband’s thinking drastically. A senior public finance economist told me he had been deputed at the Finance Ministry when the editorial appeared, and the Indian High Commission in London had urgently sent a copy of the editorial to the Ministry where it caused a stir. An IMF official told me years later that he saw the editorial on board a flight to India from the USA on the same day, and stopped in London to make a trip to the LSE’s bookshop to purchase a copy. Professor Jagdish Bhagwati of Columbia University had been a critic of aspects of Indian policy; he received a copy  in draft just before it was published and was kind enough to write I had “done an excellent job of setting out the problems afflicting our economic policies, unfortunately government-made problems!”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Siddhartha Shankar Ray told me when  we first met that he had been in London when the editorial appeared and had seen it there; it affected his decision to introduce me to Rajiv Gandhi as warmly as he came to do a half dozen years later.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Within a few months though, by the Fall of 1984, I was under attack by the &#8220;gang of inert game theorists&#8221;  who had come to  Blacksburg following the departure of James Buchanan.  By mid 1985 I had moved to Provo, Utah, really rather wishing, as I recall,  to have left my India-work behind me.  But by late 1986, I was at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, where the perestroika-for-India and Pakistan projects that I and WE James led, had come to be sponsored by the University and the East West Center.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The unpublished results of the India-project reached Rajiv Gandhi by my hand on September 18 1990 as has been told elsewhere.  A week later, on September 25 1990,  Rajiv appointed a small group that included myself, to advise him.  It was that encounter with Rajiv Gandhi that sparked the origins of the 1991 economic reform.  Yet in 2007 one member of the group, declaring himself close to Sonia Gandhi, brazenly lied in public saying it was Manmohan Singh and not I who had been part of the group &#8212; a group of which I had been in fact the first member!  Manmohan Singh himself has never claimed to have been present and in fact was not even in India at the time it was formed.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I have explained elsewhere here why I believe this specific  lie  came to be told by this specific liar who shared membership with me in the group that Rajiv had formed:  because I had also pleaded with  many and especially within this group that Rajiv had seemed, to my layman&#8217;s eyes, very vulnerable to assassination, and none of them had lifted a finger to  do anything about it!  Such is how duplicity, envy and greed for power make people mendacious and venal in politics!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As for <em>Pricing, Planning and Politics</em>, Dr Manmohan Singh received a personal copy from my father whom he had long known through the Kaul brothers, Brahma and Madan, both of whom were dear friends of my father since the War and Independence.   From a letter Dr Singh wrote to my father,  he would have received his copy in late 1986 when he was heading the Planning Commission in his penultimate appointment before retirement from the bureaucracy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Readers of <em>Pricing, Planning and Politics</em> today, 25 years after it was published, may judge for themselves what if any  part of it may be still relevant to the new government that Dr Singh is now prime minister of.   The work was mostly one of applied microeconomics or the theory of value; in recent years I have written much also of applied macroeconomics or the theory of money as it relates to India.  My great professor at Cambridge, Frank Hahn, was kind enough to say in 1985 that he thought my &#8220;critique of Development Economics was powerful not only on methodological but also on economic theory grounds&#8221;; that to me has been a special source of delight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">Cabinet Government has become far too unwieldy and impractical in India, and the new Cabinet chosen by Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh over almost a fortnight  &#8212; of some 79 Ministers, almost certainly the largest number in the world &#8212; may be destined to be so as well.   If there is going to be &#8220;fiscal prudence&#8221; as the PM and Finance Minister have declared, it really needs to start at the top with the Union Government itself.  Remember we also have more than two dozen State Governments plus Union Territories and  myriad local governments too.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Here then is an example of a better-designed Cabinet for the Government of India with Cabinet Ministers in bold-face, others not so:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Prime Minister</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Parliamentary Affairs</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Intra-Government Liaison</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Defence</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-    Army</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-    Navy &amp; Coast Guard</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-    Air Force &amp; Strategic Forces</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-    Ordnance</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Finance</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Money &amp; Banking</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Accountant General</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Planning</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Home Affairs</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Law &amp; Justice</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Internal Security</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-     Disaster Management &amp; Civil Defence</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Archaeology, Art &amp; Culture</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Foreign</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Commerce &amp; Tourism</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Overseas Indians</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         International Organisations</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Transport</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Railways</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Roads &amp; Highways</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Shipping &amp; Waterways</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Civil Aviation</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Urban Development</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Agriculture &amp; Food<br />
</strong>
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Rural Development</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Water, Flood Control &amp; Irrigation</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Environment</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Forestry &amp; Tribal Affairs</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Industry</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-    Competition and Monopoly-Control</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-      Steel</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-      Textiles</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-      Power</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-      Petroleum and Energy</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-      Chemicals &amp; Fertilizers</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-       Coal and Mines</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-      Communications and IT</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Education</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-    Schools</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-     Higher Education</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-     Vocational Education</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-      Sports</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-      Science and Technology</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Labour &amp; Employment</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Health and Human Services</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-        Housing</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Women and Child Development</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-         Social Security</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There are just eleven Cabinet Ministers (in bold-face above) including the PM, so, along with the Cabinet Secretary, they could sit with ease around a normal table which should help the process of deliberation.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This document has arisen out of one during my work as an adviser to Rajiv Gandhi  in his last months in 1990-1991 though the latter never reached him; I had intended to talk to him about its contents but it was not to be.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It may be profitably read alongside my <a href="http://independentindian.com/2008/07/27/distribution-of-govt-of-india-expenditure-net-of-operational-income-1995">&#8220;Distribution of Government Expenditure in India&#8221;</a>, which is part of my ongoing research and was released in the public interest last year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">A lawyer friend in Mumbai tells me she thinks it a &#8220;technicality&#8221; that there is no Lok Sabha or Parliament in India today despite eleven long days and nights having passed since the 15th Lok Sabha came to be elected by the people of India.  &#8220;At least we did not get Advani and Modi to rule&#8221;, is how she sought to justify the current circumstance.   I am afraid I think she has produced a <em>non sequitur</em>, and also forgotten the constitutional law she would have read as a student.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The best argument that I think the Government of India shall be able to give justifying their legal error in not having the 15th Lok Sabha up and running yet 11 days after India&#8217;s people have spoken would run something like this:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(1) The President of India invites a Council of Ministers led by a PM to form the government and has done so.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(2) The President must be satisfied that the PM commands a majority in the Lok Sabha, and the President has been satisfied by the 322  &#8220;letters of support&#8221; that the PM produced.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(3) The Government of the day calls parliamentary sessions and does so at its discretion, and the Government of the day headed by this PM has announced when it shall call the 15th Lok Sabha which will be in a few days yet.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Any such argument, I am afraid, would be specious because it simply puts the cart before the horse.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Parliament is sovereign in India, to repeat what I have said several times before.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Parliament is sovereign in India &#8212; not even the President who is the symbol of that sovereignty.  We do not follow the British quite exactly in this because we are a republic and not a monarchy.  In Britain sovereignty rests with &#8220;The King in Parliament&#8221;.  With us, Parliament is sovereign and the President is the symbol of that sovereignty.  In all matters of state, our President must act in a manner that Parliament and parliamentary law says.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Parliament is sovereign in India &#8212; not the Executive Government, certainly not its largest political party or its leader.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Parliament is sovereign in India because the people of India have chosen it to be so within the Constitution of India.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Parliament is sovereign in India and the people of India have elected the 15th Lok Sabha <strong><em>which has still not been allowed to meet eleven days later</em></strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">To the contrary, as noted days ago, the purported &#8220;Cabinet&#8221; of the 14th Lok Sabha, a dead institution, met on May 18 2009, some 48 hours after the 15th Lok Sabha had already been declared!   The 14th Lok Sabha in fact stood automatically dissolved in law when General Elections came to be announced.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Is all this merely a &#8220;technicality&#8221; as my friend believes?  I think not.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Executive Government in India derives its political legitimacy from being elected  by Parliament,  i.e., from holding the confidence of Parliament, and that means the Lok Sabha.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Government of the day might  for sake of convenience have a prerogative of calling sessions of the 15th Lok Sabha once it has been constituted but the Government of the day cannot logically constitute a Lok Sabha after a General Election because it itself receives legitimacy from such a Lok Sabha.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If the 15th Lok Sabha has not met, confidence in any Executive has yet to be recorded, and hence any such Government has yet to receive legitimacy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Do &#8220;322 letters of support&#8221; suffice?  Hardly.  They are signed after all by persons who have yet to take their seats in the Lok Sabha!  (Let us leave aside the fact that the PM, not being a member of the Lok Sabha, is in this case unable to be one of those 322 himself!)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Yet we have 79 &#8220;Ministers&#8221; of this new &#8220;Government&#8221; holding press-conferences and giving out free-bees and favours etc already.  As I have said before, Ambedkar, Nehru and others of their generation, plus Indira and Rajiv too, would all have been appalled.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Because the incompetence of the fascists and communists in the Opposition may continue to  be expected, it will be up to ordinary citizens and voters of India to point out such  simple truths whenever the Emperor is found to be naked.  (Our docile juvenile ingratiating media may well remain mostly hopeless.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">There are at least three Supreme Court lawyers, all highly voluble, among the higher echelons of Congress Party politicians; it is surprising that not one of them has been able to get the top Party leadership of Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh to see the apparent breach of normal constitutional law in Parliament not having met more than 10 days after it was elected.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A Government has been formed, Ministers have entered their offices and have been holding press-conferences and taking executive decisions,  wannabe-Ministers continue to be wrangling night-and-day for the plums of office &#8212; BUT THERE IS NO PARLIAMENT!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Today is the death-anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru and last week was the death anniversary of  Rajiv Gandhi.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nehru, whatever his faults and infirmities, was an outstanding parliamentarian and a believer in the Westminster model in particular.  He was intimately familiar with its  unpoken customs and unwritten laws.   He would have been completely appalled by the situation today where luminaries of the party that goes by the  same name as the one he had led are paying obeisance to his memory 45 years after his death but have failed to see the absurdity in having a Government in office with no new Parliament ten days after a month-long General Election was over!  (Incidentally, had he not left explicit instructions against any hero-worship  taking place of himself too?)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Rajiv knew his grandfather and had acquired a sense of <em>noblesse oblige</em> from him.  He too would have been appalled that the procedural business of government  had been simply  procrastinated over like this.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It surprises me that Dr Manmohan Singh, having been a post-graduate of Cambridge, having earned a doctorate from Oxford, and more recently having been awarded honorary doctorates from both Ancient Universities, should seem so unaware of the elements of the Westminster model of  constitutional jurisprudence which guides our polity too.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is too late now and the mistakes have been made.   I hope his  new Government will  come to realise at some point and then keep in mind that our Executive receives political legitimacy from Parliament, not <em>vice versa</em>.   An Executive can hardly be legitimately in office until the  Parliament that is supposed to elect it has been sworn in.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As for our putative Opposition in the Parliament-yet-to-meet, it seems to have drawn a blank too, and <em>eo ipso</em> revealed its own constitutional backwardness and lethargy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">The power of organised Big Business over New Delhi’s economic policies (whether Congress-led or BJP-led) was signalled by the presence in the audience at Rashtrapati Bhavan last week of several prominent lobbyists when Dr Manmohan Singh and his senior-most Cabinet colleagues were being sworn-in by the President of India.  Why were such witnesses needed at such an auspicious national occasion?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Organised Big Business (both private sector and public sector) along with organised Big Labour (whose interests are represented most ably by New Delhi’s official communist parties like the CPI-M and CPI), are astutely aware of how best to advance their own economic interests; this usually gets assisted nicely enough through clever use of our comprador English-language TV, newspaper and magazine media.  Shortly after the election results, lobbyists were all over commercial TV proposing things like FDI in insurance and airports etc&#8211; as if <em>that</em> was the meaning of the Sonia-Rahul mandate or were issues of high national priority.    A typical piece of such “pretend-economics” appears in today’s business-press from a formerly Leftist Indian bureaucrat: “With its decisive victory, the new Manmohan Singh government should at last be able to implement the required second generation reforms.  Their lineaments (sic) are well known and with the removal of the Left’s veto, many of those stalled in the legislature as well as those which were forestalled can now be implemented.  These should be able to put India back on a 9-10 per cent per annum growth rate…”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Today’s business-press also reports that the new Government is planning to create a fresh “Disinvestment Ministry” and Dr Singh’s chief economic policy aide is “a frontrunner among the names short-listed to head the new ministry” with Cabinet rank.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now if any enterprising doctoral student was to investigate the question, I think the evidence would show that I, and I alone – not even BR Shenoy or AD Shroff or Jagdish Bhagwati &#8212;  may have been the first among Indian economists to have argued in favour of the privatisation of India’s public sector.   <a href="http://independentindian.com/introduction-and-some-biography/pricing-planning-politics-a-study-of-economic-distortions-in-india-1984/silver-jubilee-of-%E2%80%9Cpricing-planning-politics-a-study-of-economic-distortions-in-india%E2%80%9D/">I did so precisely 25 years ago in <em>Pricing, Planning and Politics: A Study of Economic Distortions in India</em>, which was so unusual for its time that it attracted the lead editorial of <em>The Times</em> of London on the day it was published May 29 1984</a>, and had its due impact on Indian economic policy then and since, as has been described elsewhere here.  <a href="http://independentindian.com/introduction-and-some-biography/rajiv-gandhi-and-the-origins-of-india%E2%80%99s-1991-economic-reform/">In 1990-1991 while with Rajiv Gandhi, I had floated an idea of literally giving away shares of the public sector to the public that owned it (as several other countries had been doing at that time), specifically perhaps giving them to the poorest <em>panchayats</em> in aid of their development. </a>   In 2004-2005, upon returning to Britain after many years, <a href="http://independentindian.com/2005/04/27/margaret-thatchers-revolution-how-it-happened-and-what-it-meant/">I helped create the book <em>Margaret Thatcher’s Revolution: How it Happened and What it Meant</em></a>, and Margaret Thatcher if anyone was a paragon of privatisation.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">That being said, I have to say I think a new Indian policy of creating a Ministry to privatise India’s public sector is probably a very BAD idea indeed in present circumstances &#8212; mainly because it will be driven by the interests of the organised Big Business lobbies that have so profoundly and subtly been able to control the New Delhi Government’s behaviour in recent decades.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Such lobbyist control is exercised often without the Government even realising or comprehending its parameters.  For example, ask yourself: Is there any record anywhere of Dr Manmohan Singh, in his long career as a Government economist and then as a Rajya Sabha MP, having ever proposed before 2004-2005 that nuclear reactors were something vitally important to India’s future?  And why do you suppose the most prominent Indian business lobby spent a million dollars and registered itself as an official lobbyist in Washington DC to promote the nuclear deal among American legislators? Because Big Business was feeling generous and altruistic towards the “energy security” of the ordinary people of India?   Hardly.  <a href="http://independentindian.com/2008/12/07/will-the-government-of-indias-economic-policy-dampen-or-worsen-the-business-cycle-if-such-a-cycle-exists-at-all-no-one-knows-%E2%80%9Cwhere-ignorance-is-bliss-%E2%80%98tis-folly-to-be-wise/">Indian Big Business calculates and acts in its own interests, as is only to be expected under economic assumptions</a>; <a href="http://independentindian.com/2008/12/09/if-evidence-was-needed-of-the-intellectual-dishonesty-of-the-gois-new-macroeconomic-policy/">those interests are frequently camouflaged by their lobbyist and media friends into seeming to be economic policy for the country as a whole.</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now our Government every year produces paper rupees and bank deposits in  practically unlimited amounts to pay for its practically unlimited deficit financing, and it has behaved thus over decades. Why we do not hear about this at all is because the most prominent Government economists themselves remain clueless &#8212; sometimes by choice, mostly by sheer ignorance &#8212; about the nature of the macroeconomic process that they are or have been part of.   (See my  &#8220;India’s Macroeconomics&#8221;, &#8220;The Dream Team: A Critique&#8221; etc elsewhere here).     As for the Opposition’s economists, the less said about the CPI-M’s economists the better while the BJP, poor thing, has absolutely no economists at all!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Briefly speaking, Indian Big Business has acquired an acute sense of this long-term nominal/paper expansion of India’s economy, and as a result acts towards converting wherever possible its own hoards of paper rupees and rupee-denominated assets into more valuable portfolios for itself of real or durable assets, most conspicuously including hard-currency denominated assets, farm-land and urban real-estate, and, now, the physical assets of the Indian public sector.  Such a path of trying to transform local domestic paper assets – produced unlimitedly by Government monetary and fiscal policy and naturally destined to depreciate &#8212; into real durable assets, is a privately rational course of action to follow in an inflationary economy.   It is not rocket-science  to realise the long-term path of the Indian rupee is downwards in comparison to the hard-currencies of the world – just compare our money supply growth and inflation rates with those of the rest of the world.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>The Statesman</em> of November 15 2006 had a lead editorial titled <em>Government&#8217;s land-fraud: Cheating peasants in a hyperinflation-prone economy</em>. It said:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“There is something fundamentally dishonourable about the way the Centre, the state of West Bengal and other state governments are treating the issue of expropriating peasants, farm-workers, petty shop-keepers etc of their small plots of land in the interests of promoters, industrialists and other businessmen. Singur may be but one example of a phenomenon being seen all over the country: Hyderabad, Karnataka, Kerala, Haryana, everywhere. So-called &#8220;Special Economic Zones&#8221; will merely exacerbate the problem many times over. India and its governments do not belong only to business and industrial lobbies, and what is good for private industrialists may or may not be good for India&#8217;s people as a whole.  Economic development does not necessarily come to be defined by a  few factories or high-rise housing complexes being built here or there on land that has been taken over by the Government, paying paper-money compensation to existing stakeholders, and then resold to promoters or industrialists backed by powerful political interest-groups on a promise that a few thousand new jobs will be created.  One fundamental problem has to do with inadequate systems of land-description and definition, implementation and recording of property rights. An equally fundamental problem has to do with fair valuation of land owned by peasants etc. in terms of an inconvertible paper-money.  Every serious economist knows that &#8220;land&#8221; is defined as that specific factor of production and real asset whose supply is fixed and does not increase in response to its price. Every serious economist also knows that paper-money is that nominal asset whose price can be made to catastrophically decline by a massive increase in its supply, i.e. by Government printing more of the paper it holds a monopoly to print. For Government to compensate people with paper-money it prints itself by valuing their land on the basis of an average of the price of the last few years, is for Government to cheat them of the fair present-value of the land. That present-value of land must be calculated in the way the present-value of any asset comes to be calculated, namely, by summing the likely discounted cash-flows of future values. And those future values should account for the likelihood of a massive future inflation causing decline in the value of paper-money in view of the fact we in India have a domestic public debt of some Rs. 30 trillion (Rs. 30 lakh crore) and counting, and money supply growth rates averaging 16-17% per annum. In fact, a responsible Government would, given the inconvertible nature of the rupee, have used foreign exchange or gold as the unit of account in calculating future-values of the land. India&#8217;s peasants are probably being cheated by their Government of real assets whose value is expected to rise, receiving nominal paper assets in compensation whose value is expected to fall.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mamata Banerjee started her famous protest fast-unto-death in Kolkata not long afterwards, riveting the nation’s attention in the winter of 2006-2007.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What goes for the government buying land on behalf of its businessman friends also goes, <em>mutatis mutandis</em>, for the public sector’s real assets being bought up by the private sector using domestic paper money in a potentially hyperinflationary economy.  If Dr Singh&#8217;s new Government wishes to see real public sector assets being sold, let the Government seek to value these assets not in inconvertible rupees which the Government itself has been producing in unlimited quantities but rather in forex or gold-units instead!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Today’s headline says “Short of cash, govt. plans to revive disinvestment ministry”. Big Business’s powerful lobbies will suggest  that real public assets must be sold  (to whom? to organised Big Business of course!) in order to solve the grave fiscal problems in an inflationary economy caused precisely by those grave  fiscal problems! What I said in 2002 at <em>IndiaSeminar</em> may still be found to apply: I said the BJP’s privatisation ideas “deserve to be condemned…because they have made themselves believe that the proceeds of selling the public sector should merely go into patching up the bleeding haemorrhage which is India&#8217;s fiscal and monetary situation… (w)hile…Congress were largely responsible for that haemorrhage to have occurred in the first place.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If the new Government would like to know how to proceed more wisely, they need to read and grasp, in the book edited by myself and Professor John Clarke in 2004-2005, the chapter by Professor Patrick Minford on Margaret Thatcher’s fiscal and monetary policy (macroeconomics) before they read the chapter by Professor Martin Ricketts on Margaret Thatcher’s privatisation (microeconomics).     India’s fiscal and monetary or macroeconomic problems are far worse today than Britain’s were when Thatcher came in.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">During the recent Election Campaign, I contrasted Dr Singh’s flattering praise in 2005 of the CPI-M’s Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee with Sonia Gandhi’s pro-Mamata line in 2009 saying the CPI-M had taken land away from the poor.      This may soon signal a new fault-line in the new Cabinet too on economic policy with respect to not only land but also public sector privatisation – with Dr Singh’s pro-Big Business acolytes on one side and Mamata Banerjee’s stance in favour of small-scale unorganised business and labour on the other.  Party heavyweights like Dr Singh himself and Sharad Pawar and Pranab Mukherjee will weigh in one side or the other with Sonia being asked in due course to referee.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I personally am delighted to see the New Rahul Gandhi deciding not to be in Government and to instead reflect further on the “common man” and “common woman” about whom I had described his father talking to me on September 18 1990 at his home.  Certainly the “aam admi” is not someone to be found among India’s organised Big Business or organised Big Labour nor their paid lobbyists in the big cities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">Sad to say, Parliament&#8217;s sovereignty has been diminished, indeed usurped, by the new Executive Government.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Here is a brief record for future generations to know.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">India&#8217;s people completed their voting in the 15th General Elections on Wednesday May 13 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The results of how they had spoken, what was their will, were known and declared by Saturday May 16 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There was no legal or logical reason why the 543 members of the 15th Lok Sabha could not have been sworn in as new MPs by the close-of-business on Monday May 18 at the latest.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On Tuesday May 19 the 15th Lok Sabha could have and should have met to elect itself a <em>pro tem</em> or even a permanent Speaker.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Speaker would have divided the new House into its Government Party and its Opposition.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There would have been a vote of confidence on the floor of the House, which in the circumstances would have been in favour of the Government Party.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Observing this to have taken place, the Hon&#8217;ble President of India as the Head of State would have sent for the leader of the Government Party and invited her to form the new Government.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In this particular case, the leader of the largest political party, namely Sonia Gandhi, would have been accompanied perhaps by the Leader of the Lok Sabha, Pranab Mukherjee, as well as her personal nominee for the position of PM, namely, Manmohan Singh.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sonia Gandhi would have respectfully declined the invitation of the President to be the new Prime Minister, and she would have also explained that she wanted Manmohan Singh to have the position instead.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The President would have said &#8220;Very well, Dr Singh, can you please form the Government?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">He would have said, &#8220;Yes Madame President it shall be a privilege and an honour to do so&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The President would have added, &#8220;Thank you, and I notice you are not a member of the Lok Sabha at the moment but I am sure you are taking steps towards becoming one.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">End of visit.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Manmohan Singh would have been sworn in as PM and would have gone about adding Ministers at a measured pace.   Later, he would have resigned his Rajya Sabha seat and sought election to the Lok Sabha on the parliamentary precedent set by Alec Douglas-Home.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What has happened instead?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On May 18 2009, instead of 543 members of the 15th Lok Sabha taking their oaths as required by parliamentary law and custom, Dr Singh held a purported &#8220;Cabinet&#8221;  meeting of the <em>14th</em> Lok Sabha &#8212; a long-since dead institution!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Some of the persons attending this  meeting as purported &#8220;Cabinet ministers&#8221; had even lost their seats in the elections decided a few days earlier and so had absolutely zero democratically legitimate status left. All these persons then submitted their purported resignations which Dr Singh carried to the President, stating his Government had resigned. The President then appointed him a caretaker PM and he, along with Sonia Gandhi, then went about &#8220;staking claim&#8221; to form the next Government &#8212; turning up at the President&#8217;s again with &#8220;letters of support&#8221; signed by some 322 persons  who were MP-elects but were yet to become MPs formally by not having been sworn in.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The President appeared satisfied the party Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh belonged to would command a majority <em>in prospect</em> in the Lok Sabha and invited him to be PM.   Some major public wrangling then took place with at least one of his allies about cabinet berths &#8212; and that is the situation as of the present moment except that Dr Singh and several others have been sworn in as the Council of Ministers even though the  new 15th Lok Sabha of 543 members has still not convened!  It has been all rather sloppy and hardly uplifting.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Parliament is supposed to be sovereign in India.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Not the Executive Government or the largest political party or its leader.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The sovereignty of Parliament required Sonia Gandhi and Dr Singh to have realised</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">first, that the 14th Lok Sabha stood automatically dissolved when elections were announced;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">secondly, that the 15th Lok Sabha could have and should have been sworn in by Monday May 18;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">thirdly, that there should have been a vote of confidence in the Lok Sabha immediately which would have gone in favour of the Government Party;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">fourthly, that only then should the Executive Government have been sought to be formed;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">and of course fifthly, that if that Executive Government was to be led by someone who happened to be a member of the Rajya Sabha and not the Lok Sabha, parliamenary law and custom required him to follow the Douglas-Home precedent of resigning from the former and seeking election to the latter at the earliest opportunity.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Let future generations know that as of today, May 25, the 543 persons whom the people of India voted to constitute the 15th Lok Sabha still remain in limbo without having been sworn in though we already have an Executive Government appointed!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The sovereignty of Parliament, specifically that of the Lok Sabha, has come to be diminished, indeed usurped, by the Executive.   It is the Executive that receives its political legitimacy from Parliament, not <em>vice versa</em>.  Nehru and his generation knew all this intimately well and would have been appalled at where we in the present have been taking it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">The Hon’ble President of India has invited you to join the Council of Ministers and has invited you to Rashtrapati Bhavan to be sworn in by an oath she shall administer.  You are awaiting your name to be called.  Your name is called and what do you do?   You stand up and do a <em>namaste </em>to the PM and then walk a bit to do another <em>namaste</em> to Sonia Gandhi sitting in the audience opposite the President, and then you move towards the microphone ignoring or turning your back on the President herself and then you suddenly remember where you are and realize it is the President who has invited you and shall be administering your oath so you turn around and do a small <em>namaste</em> to her smiling apologetically for having made her an afterthought, and then you go about taking your oath, and then you perhaps do another <em>namaste </em>or two to the President more deeply because you want to make up for having forgotten her last time and finally you feel so happy and pleased with yourself you do another big <em>namaste</em> to Sonia Gandhi in the audience and finally get back to your seat!  Phew!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Such was how several of Dr Singh’s new and senior-most cabinet members behaved yesterday at their swearing-in.   Dr Singh himself walked straight to the President and did a very gracious bow to her before taking his oath, though on the way back he may have started the ball rolling by doing an exceptionally glad <em>namaste</em> to Sonia Gandhi sitting in the audience.  AK Antony was the first and the most senior on the list who most blatantly ignored the President herself initially and turned his back on her momentarily before correcting himself, though he did not fail to do an initial <em>namaste</em> to Shrimati Gandhi.  By contrast, Sharad Pawar may have got the whole thing right by walking straight to the President and doing a proper <em>namaste</em>, followed by his oath fluently spoken in Hindi followed by a small acknowledgment of the audience as a whole before returning to his seat.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But in half a dozen cases it all seemed a little sloppy, and even though the President seemed game and sportsmanlike about it, a discourtesy was noticeable to her high office as Head of State which needs to be apologized for and corrected.  After all, these were the senior-most ministers, what might lesser ministers do next week?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In fact, a strong case might exist for a rational review nationwide of all such practices and protocols in Delhi and the State capitals, some of which have become so ossified from ancient times that they look bizarre today.  Why do we have to have such an elaborate ceremony at all for a mere swearing in, which gets repeated too in each of the states with the Governors and State Governments?   Yes perhaps the Head of State did administer the oath to the PM back in 1947 but it is not really necessary for the Head of State to do so now – it could be, for example, the Chief Justice of India who does so, at least to the Prime Minister.  The Prime Minister could then himself/herself administer the oath to everyone else in his/her Cabinet, while someone, even the Cabinet Secretary perhaps, could administer the oath to everyone else.   The oath itself is what is important, not so much the status of the person administering it.   There need not be any such elaborate ceremony at all in Rashtrapati Bhavan that risks the dignity of the President like this and spends everyone’s time.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(And did anyone else notice the private sector lobbyists and public sector fixers seated in the audience? Precisely what were they doing there?  Is this just another New Delhi social occasion for people to put on a show of showing their presence?)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For that matter, why was the National Anthem apparently played twice not by any live or noticeable orchestra or band but as a rather grainy recording?  It is all a bit depressing when it should have been uplifting.  Imagine instead some splendid soprano or tenor leading the singing of the Anthem  in that splendid Hall accompanied by a first-class band.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I have long thought we need a National Commission to review all such matters and much more.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It would need to start with the 15th August Red Fort speech by the PM.   15th August was a date chosen by Mountbatten and its auspiciousness was diminished by all the bloodshed that flowed with it.  It has become quite unseemly in recent decades to hear our PMs read out party-slogans or government propaganda statements from behind a bullet-proof barrier there.  If I was a perceptive school-child  being compelled to wait for hours in front of the Red Fort on a hot and muggy August morning to hear such dreary stuff, I might be justifiably upset, and of course many schoolchildren faint every year from exhaustion at being forced to do such things across the country.      My own recommendation would be that August 15 be renamed Martyrs’ Day and be a solemn holiday marked only by a long five-minute nationwide silence, say at noon, in memory of all those who have died for India to be what it is today.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Then there is 26 January, going all the way to the “Beating of the Retreat”.   Why on earth do we feel a need in this modern age to have such a display in the capital city once a year?  Marching bands and parades and floats and fireworks can be great fun for all citizens but they can be and should be spread year-round all across the country’s many cities and towns, and the occasion need not be made a pompous one only in Delhi once a year (with some pale imitations in the State capitals).  Republic Day can be a happy holiday for everyone in January when the weather is splendid around the country, with fireworks and fun for everyone, not merely New Delhi’s already delusional Ruling Class.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Then there is the oh-so-common ceremony all over the country from Parliament downwards of standing before the portrait or statue of someone long dead and throwing flowers at it along with a namaste (or in the case of communists, a clenched-fist Black Panther salute).  Have we so lost our secular ethos that we do not realize that, for example, a Muslim or Jewish believer might find throwing flowers and doing namaste to a portrait something awkward to do?  Both Ariel Sharon and Pervez Musharraf seemed to feel awkward when we took them to the Mahatma Gandhi memorial and said right, now,  this is what we expect you to do, throw flowers and walk around it in this manner&#8230; it is not enough for you as a visiting dignitary to merely place a bouquet… !    We need to chill out a bit about all this ritualism.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And so it goes.    To their considerable credit, neither Nehru nor Indira or Rajiv stood on ceremony much, and the same seems to apply to Sonia Gandhi and her children.  The time may be opportune for all such matters to be reviewed calmly and soberly by a National Commission– in the meantime,  the PM needs to send a small apology to the President for any unintended discourtesy from his Council of Ministers that may have occurred yesterday or at least a promise that it will not get repeated.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">

<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Postscript: </em>Then there is the matter of Presidents, Prime Ministers, Governors, Chief Ministers <em>et al</em> taking salutes from the uniformed armed forces  or the paramilitary &#8212; if you are not yourself a commissioned officer or have never been one, do not respond to a salute from uniformed men and women by saluting or trying to salute them back yourself.  What is required is instead to perhaps stand to attention when they salute you, and perhaps bow your head slightly to acknowledge their salute.   Salutes are exchanged only within the uniformed services.  We instead have civilian leaders seeming to greatly enjoying trying to return salutes themselves&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">We in India did not invent the idea of Parliament, the British did.  Even the British did not invent the idea of a “Premier Ministre”, the French did that, though the British came to develop its meaning most.  Because these are not our own inventions, when something unusual happens in contemporary India to political entities and offices known as “Parliament”, “Prime Minister” etc, contrast and comparison is inevitable with standards and practices that have prevailed around the world in other parliamentary democracies.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Indeed we in India did not even fully invent the idea of our own Parliament though the national struggle led by the original Indian National Congress caused it to come to be invented.  The Lok Sabha is the outcome of a long and distinguished constitutional and political history from the Morley-Minto reforms a century ago to the Montagu-Chelmsford reforms and Government of India Act of 1919 to the Government of India Act of 1935 and the first general elections of British India in 1937 (when Jawaharlal Nehru briefly became PM for the first time) and in due course the 1946 Constituent Assembly.   Out of all this emerged the 1950 Constitution of India, drafted by that brilliant jurist BR Ambedkar as well as other sober intelligent well-educated and dedicated men and women of his time, and thence arose our first Lok Sabha following the 1951 General Elections.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">About the Lok Sabha’s duties, I said in my March 30 2006 article <a href="http://independentindian.com/2006/03/30/logic-of-democracy/">&#8220;Logic of Democracy&#8221; in <em>The Statesman</em><br />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“What are Lok Sabha Members and State MLAs legitimately required to be doing in caring for their constituents? First of all, as a body as a whole, they need to elect the Government, i.e. the Executive Branch, and to hold it accountable in Parliament or Assembly. For example, the Comptroller and Auditor General submits his reports directly to the House, and it is the duty of individual legislators to put these to good use in controlling the Government’s waste, fraud or abuse of public resources.   Secondly, MPs and MLAs are obviously supposed to literally represent their individual constituencies in the House, i.e. to bring the Government and the House’s attention to specific problems or contingencies affecting their constituents as a whole, and call for the help, funds and sympathy of the whole community on their behalf.  Thirdly, MPs and MLAs are supposed to respond to pleas and petitions of individual constituents, who may need the influence associated with the dignity of their office to get things rightly done. For example, an impoverished orphan lad once needed surgery to remove a brain tumour; a family helping him was promised the free services of a top brain surgeon if a hospital bed and operating theatre could be arranged. It was only by turning to the local MLA that the family were able to get such arrangements made, and the lad had his tumour taken out at a public hospital. MPs and MLAs are supposed to vote for and create public goods and services, and to use their moral suasion to see that existing public services actually do get to reach the public.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What about the Rajya Sabha?  I said in the same article:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“Rajya Sabha Members are a different species altogether. Most if not all State Legislative Councils have been abolished, and sadly the present nature of the Rajya Sabha causes similar doubts to arise about its utility. The very idea of a Rajya Sabha was first mooted in embryo form in an 1888 book <strong>A History of the Native States of India, Vol I. Gwalior</strong>, whose author also advocated popular constitutions for the “Indian India” of the “Native States” since “where there are no popular constitutions, the personal character of the ruler becomes a most important factor in the government… evils are inherent in every government where autocracy is not tempered by a free constitution.”  When Victoria was declared India’s “Empress” in 1877, a “Council of the Empire” was mooted but had remained a non-starter even until the 1887 Jubilee. An “Imperial Council” was now designed of the so-called “Native Princes”, which came to evolve into the “Chamber of Princes” which became the “Council of the States” and the Rajya Sabha.  It was patterned mostly on the British and not the American upper house except in being not liable to dissolution, and compelling periodic retirement of a third of members. The American upper house is an equal if not the senior partner of the lower house. Our Rajya Sabha follows the British upper house in being a chamber which is duty-bound to oversee any exuberance in the Lok Sabha but which must ultimately yield to it if there is any dispute.  Parliament in India’s democracy effectively means the Lok Sabha — where every member has contested and won a direct vote in his/her constituency. The British upper house used to have an aristocratic hereditary component which Tony Blair’s New Labour Government has now removed, so it has now been becoming more like what the Rajya Sabha was supposed to have been like.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Canadian upper house is similar to ours in intent: a place for &#8220;sober second thought&#8221; intended to curb the &#8220;democratic excesses&#8221; of the lower house.   In the Canadian, British, Australian, Irish and our own cases, the Prime Minister, as the chief executive of <em>the lower house</em> has immense indirect power over the upper house, whether in appointing members or even, in the Australian case, dissolving the entire upper house if he/she wishes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now yesterday apparently Shrimati Sonia Gandhi, as the duly elected leader of the largest political party in the 15th Lok Sabha, accompanied by Dr Manmohan Singh, as her party’s choice for the position of Prime Minister, went to see the President of India where the Hon’ble President apparently appointed Dr Singh to be the Prime Minister of India – meaning the Prime Minister of the 15th Lok Sabha, except that Dr Singh is not a member of the Lok Sabha and apparently has had no intent of becoming one.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In 2004 Shrimati Gandhi had declined to accept an invitation to become PM and instead effectively recommended Dr Singh to be PM despite his not being a member of the Lok Sabha nor intending to be so.   This exploited a constitutional loophole to the extent that the drafters of our 1950 Constitution happened not to have explicitly stated that the PM must be from the Lok Sabha.  <strong><em>But the reason the founders of our democratic polity such as BR Ambedkar and Jawaharlal Nehru did not specify that the PM must be from the Lok Sabha was quite simply that it was a matter of complete obviousness to them and to their entire generation that this must be so</em> </strong>— it would have been  appalling to them and something beyond their wildest imagination that a later generation, namely our own, would exploit such a loophole and allow a PM to be appointed who is not a member of the Lok Sabha and intends not to be so.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ambedkar, Nehru and all others of their time knew fully well that the history and intended purpose of the Lok Sabha was completely different from the history and intended purpose of the Rajya Sabha.  They knew too fully well that Lord Curzon had been explicitly denied the leadership of Britain’s Tory Party in 1922 because that would have made him a potential PM  when he was not prepared to be a member of the House of Commons.  That specific precedent culminated a centuries’-old  democratic trend of  political power flowing from monarchs to lords to commoners, and has governed all parliamentary democracies  worldwide ever since &#8212; until Dr Singh’s appointment in 2004.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When such an anomalous situation once arose in Britain, Lord Home resigned his membership of the House of Lords to contest a House of Commons seat as Sir Alec Douglas Home so that he could be PM in a manner consistent with parliamentary law.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dr Singh instead for five years remained PM of India while not being a member of the Lok Sabha.  Even if reasons and exigencies of State could have been cited for such an anomalous situation during his first term, there was really no such reason for him not to contest the 2009 General Election if he wished to be the Congress Party’s prime ministerial candidate a second time.  Numerous Rajya Sabha members alongside him have contested Lok Sabha seats this time, and several have won.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As of today, Dr Singh is due to be sworn in tomorrow as Prime Minister for a second term while still having no declared intention of resigning from the Rajya Sabha and contesting a Lok Sabha seat instead.   What the present-day Congress has done is elect him the leader of the “Congress Parliamentary Party” and claim that it is in such a capacity that he received the invitation to be Prime Minister of India.   But surely if the question had been asked to the Congress Party under Nehru or Indira or Rajiv: “Can you foresee a circumstance ever in which the PM of India is not a member of the Lok Sabha?” their answer in each case would have been a categorical and resounding  “no”.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So the question does arise why the Congress under Sonia Gandhi has with deliberation allowed such an anomalous situation to develop.  Its effect is to completely distort the trends of relative political power between the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.  On the one hand, the Lok Sabha’s power is deliberately made to diminish as the chief executive of the Government of India shall not be from the Lok Sabha but from “the other place” despite the Lok Sabha having greater political legitimacy by having been directly elected by India’s people.   This sets a precedent that  might  get repeated in India  in the future but which contradicts the worldwide trend in parliamentary democracies over decades and centuries in precisely the opposite direction –  of power flowing in the direction of the people not away from them.   On the other hand, the fact this anomalous idea has been pioneered by the elected leader of the largest political party in the Lok Sabha while her PM is in the Rajya Sabha causes a member of the lower house to have unexpected control over the upper house when the latter is supposed to be something of an independent check on the former!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It all really seems an unnecessary muddle and a jumbling up of normal constitutional law and parliamentary procedure.  The Sonia-Manmohan Government at the outset of its second term should hardly want to be seen by history as having set a poor precedent using brute force.  The situation can be corrected with the utmost ease by following the Alec Douglas Home example, with Dr Singh being given a relatively safe seat to contest as soon as possible, if necessary by some newly elected Congress MP resigning and allowing a bye-election to be called.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;"><span class="StoryBodyText">Press reports today say &#8220;With a comfortable majority in the Lok Sabha, UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will meet President Pratibha Patil <em><strong>to stake claim</strong></em> (sic) to form the new government. This was decided unanimously at a meeting of the leaders of the United Progressive Alliance in which Gandhi was re-elected its Chairperson.&#8221; (emphasis added)<br />
</span>
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Stake claim&#8221;?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;To stake a claim&#8221; is  to show that you believe something is yours or to declare that something belongs to you.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Is that what Jawaharlal Nehru did with Dr Rajendra Prasad or Dr Radhakrishnan?  He went and said something like &#8220;Now look here Mr President, I would like to <em><strong>stake my claim</strong></em> to be Prime Minister of India now that this here General Election is over and I won&#8221;?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Is anyone else at present submitting any competing &#8220;claims&#8221; to the President?  Of course not.   Is the President unaware of the fact the General Elections are now over, or that she has a solemn duty to perform of<em><strong> inviting </strong></em>the leader of the largest political party in the new Lok Sabha to Rashtrapati Bhavan for an important chat?  Why does it have to be said that someone has to &#8220;stake a claim&#8221; to be asked to form the Government when the field is open and there is no sign of any other &#8220;claimant&#8221;?   Besides there has been the rush of political parties shooting off letters to the President declaring their support of Shrimati Gandhi and Dr Singh when they &#8220;stake claim&#8221; to the Government.  What does the President of India do with such letter-carriers when they turn up at her doorstep uninvited?  Offer each of them a cup of tea and a smile?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is all hardly sober or uplifting &#8212; in fact, it is all rather undignified.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Perhaps a President of India might someday murmur something to the politicians like &#8220;Really, why do we need such talk about &#8220;staking claims&#8221;; I was going to invite you anyway.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">The 14th Lok Sabha stood automatically dissolved when General Elections to the 15th Lok Sabha were first announced.  <em>A fortiori</em> so did its Council of Ministers and its &#8220;Cabinet&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Yet this morning Dr Manmohan Singh has held a purported &#8220;Cabinet Meeting&#8221; of the 14th Lok Sabha where its &#8220;members&#8221; (some of whom lost their seats!)  purportedly submitted their &#8220;resignations&#8221; which he will then convey to the President with a request that the 14th Lok Sabha be dissolved!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nyet!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The 14th Lok Sabha was dissolved and came to end<em> eo ipso </em>with the calling of the General Elections and any Council of Ministers and Cabinet that continued in existence was necessarily of a caretaker nature.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The 15th Lok Sabha has been elected as soon as the Election Commission has certified its final results.    There can be no legitimate &#8220;Cabinet&#8221; of the 14th Lok Sabha subsisting alongside the 15th Lok Sabha even for one logical moment.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is surprising we must begin perhaps with such a simple procedural error.  It suggests there may be more to come.  We must be sorry to see the steady corrosion of parliamentary law and custom.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Subroto Roy, Kolkata</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Postscript:   In the interregnum between the dissolution of the 14th  Lok Sabha when General Elections are announced and the  actual  declaration of the results of the 15th, which has in fact taken a month or more, there is no  functioning legislative branch of Government &#8212; though I would not disagree that if a national emergency like a war occurred during that period, the President in her wisdom would have a right to recall the 14th Lok Sabha if necessary as a kind of &#8220;caretaker&#8221; body for the duration of the emergency.</em></p>

<p><em>The Hon&#8217;ble President of India invites the leader of the single largest political party in the 15th Lok Sabha to visit Rashtrapati Bhavan.</em></p>
<p><em>The leader does so, bringing with her, her own nominee for the Prime Ministership of India as she herself wishes to decline the invitation to be PM.</em></p>
<p><em>The President meets the leader alone and extends the invitation. </em></p>
<p><em>The invitation is respectfully declined with the recommendation that the Hon&#8217;ble President may perhaps consider instead the name of the person nominated by the leader.</em></p>
<p><em>The President agrees and extends the invitation to the latter in the presence of the leader.  The latter accepts with thanks. </em></p>
<p><em>The President observes that since the PM-elect in this case happens not to be  a member of the Lok Sabha, she hopes that he shall soon become one.</em></p>
<p><em>The meeting ends.</em></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Worse Procedure</span></strong></p>
<p><em>The leader of the single largest political party in the 15th Lok Sabha publicly announces her nominee for the position of Prime Minister.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">On the day of the big Ludhiana rally by the BJP and friends last Sunday, <a href="http://independentindian.com/2009/05/10/will-messrs-advani-rajnath-singh-modi-ride-into-the-sunset-if-the-bjp-comes-to-be-trounced/">I asked here if Messrs Advani, Rajnath Singh and Modi would ride into the sunset</a> if the BJP came to be trounced.    I also predicted  then a large defeat for the BJP because by my assessment they had made nothing like the effort needed to maintain let aside increase their 86 million votes of 2004.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://independentindian.com/2009/05/13/well-done-sonia-rahul-two-hours-before-polls-close-today-i-am-willing-to-predict-a-big-victory-for-you-but-please-try-to-get-your-economics-right-and-also-you-must-get-dr-singh-a-lok-sabha-seat/">Three days later, two hours before polls closed, I predicted a &#8220;big victory&#8221; for Congress and sent my early congratulations to their leadership</a> because by my assessment Congress had done enough not just to maintain but to increase their 103 million raw votes from 2004.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Once the data are out, I am sure that, after adjusting for population growth, the difference between Congress and the BJP in the raw vote will be much greater than the 17 million of 2004.   It may even be double that.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The BJP has come to be trounced and it is time for Messrs Advani, Rajnath Singh and Modi to ride into the sunset.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So has the CPI(M) been trounced.  It is time for heads to roll there too &#8212; especially those of the elitist JNU coterie that have dominated it ideologically for 30 years.   Had this been the USSR or PRC, there would have been some serious purges in that Politburo!  Time for some kangaroo courts, weeping confessions and then to march out those firing squads gentlemen!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Figuratively speaking of course&#8230;. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/face-smile-big.png' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>H.E. The Hon&#8217;ble Shrimati Pratibha Patil</p>
<p>President of India</p>
<p>Your Excellency,</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As India is fortunately a Republic and not a Monarchy, we do not have  a &#8220;Kissing Hands Ceremony&#8221;  where <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601085&amp;sid=aSwBSkYxVV_U&amp;refer=europe">&#8220;the monarch invites the incoming prime minister to form a government and swear allegiance to the throne&#8221;</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">While we do not have such a ceremony literally, we do have its republican equivalent in the well-established constitutional custom of the President of India after a General Election inviting one person to be Prime Minister and to form the new  Government.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It soon shall be your solemn duty to invite such a new Prime Minister of India to form the Government.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Given the results of the 15th General Elections to the Lok Sabha, that invitation may be extended only to the Leader of the winning coalition in the Lok Sabha, who is Shrimati Sonia Gandhi.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The outgoing Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, not having contested the Lok Sabha election, may not by  you be invited to be Prime Minister at this stage.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What happened in 2004 was that Shrimati Sonia Gandhi declined to accept such an invitation and instead effectively appointed Dr Singh to be PM despite his not being a member of the Lok Sabha nor intending to be so.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This exploited a constitutional loophole to the extent that our Constitution did not explicitly state that the PM must be from the Lok Sabha.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What may have been passable as the hurried exploitation of a loophole in 2004 is surely not acceptable in 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>Why the founders of our democratic polity such as BR  Ambedkar and Jawaharlal Nehru did not specify that the PM must be from the Lok Sabha was quite simply that it was a matter of complete obviousness to them and to their entire generation that this must be so &#8212; it would have been  appalling to them and something beyond their wildest imagination that a later generation, namely our own, would exploit this loophole and allow a PM to be appointed who is not a member of the Lok Sabha and intends not to be so. </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ambedkar, Nehru and all others of their time knew fully well that Lord Curzon had been explicitly denied the leadership of Britain&#8217;s Tory Party in 1922 because that would have made him a potential PM  when he was not prepared to be a member of the House of Commons.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">That specific precedent (culminating a centuries-old  democratic trend of  political power flowing from monarchs to lords to commoners) has governed all parliamentary democracies  worldwide ever since  &#8212; until Dr Singh&#8217;s appointment in 2004.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In fact,  when such an anomalous situation once arose in Britain, Lord Home resigned his membership of the House of Lords to contest a House of Commons seat as Sir Alec Douglas Home  so that he could be PM in a manner consistent with parliamentary law.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I believe you are fully within constitutional law and precedent to invite Shrimati Sonia Gandhi to form the new Government of India after the 15th General Elections to the Lok Sabha.  If she declines and instead requests again the use of the loophole to appoint Dr Singh as PM,  I believe that parliamentary law and precedent requires him to resign from the Rajya Sabha and instead contest a seat in the Lok Sabha.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">In my January 9 2007 article <a href="http://independentindian.com/2007/01/09/hypocrisy-of-the-cpi-m/">&#8220;Hypocrisy of the CPI-M&#8221;</a> in <em>The Statesman</em>, I urged that West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee should dissolve the West Bengal Assembly and go to the people.   I said then:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;All of 37% of those voting in the 2006 Assembly Elections voted for the CPI-M. By contrast, 41.2% voted for Trinamul and Congress together. Add also the 11.4% of those who voted for the Forward Bloc, RSP and CPI all of whom though part of the Left Front have been opposing the CPI-M on this cardinal issue. That constitutes prima facie evidence that a majority of 52.6% vs. 37% of voters may oppose the CPI-M’s present course of action. Mr Bhattacharjee heads a Government that is supposed to act not merely in the interest of members or groups of his own party or those who have flattered or financed it, but everyone in West Bengal including those who voted against the CPI-M as well as those who did not vote at all.<br />
<strong></strong></em>
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Gerhard Schröder dissolved the German Bundestag in 2005 though his own party held a majority there. He did so merely because his party lost a provincial election and he felt that indicated loss of confidence in it at the federal level also. Such is how genuine modern democracies work. In India to the contrary, we have had notorious misuse of the Constitution when State Governments were dissolved merely because they were ruled by parties opposed to that which had won a Union-level General Election. Even so, India remains a Parliamentary democracy at Union and State levels, and the Government of the day may advise the Head of State to dissolve the House and call for new elections to be held. It may do so even when there is no legal necessity to do so, i.e., even when it is secure with a majority of seats. It may do so because a political necessity has arisen for doing so.  If Mr Bhattacharjee is a genuine democrat, as he wishes to convey an impression of being, he should advise the Governor to dissolve the Assembly because the CPI-M wishes to go to the people to seek a mandate for its plans for the State’s industrialisation and forced acquisition of farm lands towards that end. </strong>The Trinamul, Congress, SUCI, Maoists and others including perhaps the CPI, FB, RSP and others will state their opposition, while he, Mr Nirupam Sen and their party will be able to articulate for West Bengal’s voters exactly what they propose to do and why. The CPI-M is adamant its cause is right while the Opposition have been agitating in the streets for months, and miniature civil war conditions now prevail in parts of rural Bengal; worse may be yet to come. There is only one way in a supposedly democratic society like ours to discover what should be done, and that is to dissolve the Assembly and call an election. Both sides will have a chance to articulate their positions to the public, and a vote will be held. There the matter would end. It is the one constructive way forward for the State, and indeed for the nation as a whole&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">With the results of the 15th General Elections to the Lok Sabha now proving  the general unpopularity of  the CPI(M) to be true, Mr Bhattacharjee has no moral alternative but to dissolve the  Assembly and seek new State elections.   Anything else would  permanently brand him and his party as less than honest in their commitment to democracy.  Gerard Schröeder dissolved a national parliament because of a  provincial result &#8212; the least that Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee can do is dissolve the State-legislature because of a national result.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">It is now coming up to be 3 pm Indian Standard Time on May 13, the last day of India&#8217;s 2009 General Elections, and there are two hours left for the polls to close.   I am happy to predict a big victory for the Congress Party, and Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul will deserve congratulations for it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">How the victory takes shape is, I think, by their having won the median voter on both the economic and the secular-communal axes of Indian politics.  (<a href="http://independentindian.com/2008/02/07/median-voter-model-of-indias-electorate/">See my 2008 published graph on the Median Voter Model in Indian politics</a>, available elsewhere here).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I have met Sonia Gandhi once, in December 1991 at her home, where I gave her a tape of her husband&#8217;s conversations with me during the first Gulf War in 1991.   Her son and I met momentarily in her husband&#8217;s office in 1990-1991 but I do not recall any conversation.   I have had nothing to do with her Government.   Dr Manmohan Singh and I have met twice, once in Paris in the autumn of 1973 and once in Washington in September 1993; on the latter occasion, I was introduced to him and his key aides by Siddhartha Shankar Ray as the person on whose laptop the Congress manifesto of 1991 had been composed for Rajiv, something described elsewhere here.   (I also gave him then a copy of the published book that emerged from the University of  Hawaii perestroika-for-India project, <em>Foundations of India&#8217;s Political Economy: Towards an Agenda for the 1990s,</em> edited by myself and WE James.)  On the former occasion,  Dr Singh had kindly acceded to my father&#8217;s request to visit our then-home to advise me on economics before I started as a freshman undergraduate at the London School of Economics.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In May 2004 I was interviewed by BBC television in England and I praised the UPA in prospect &#8212; in comparison  to the horrors of the Vajpayee-Advani regime (including my personal experience of it, when their Education Minister had sent an astrology-believing acolyte to supposedly run a scientific/technical institute).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Since 2005, especially in the columns of <em>The Statesman</em>, I have dispensed rational criticism of the UPA Government as harshly as I have criticised the BJP/RSS and the Communists.  Principally, I believe they have got  <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">some (perhaps most)</span> much of their  economics (quite badly) wrong as well as their jurisprudence and foreign policy; they have also been willingly under the influence of the powerful organised lobbies and interest groups that populate our capital cities.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Even so, I think there is a large electoral victory in prospect for the Congress, and I send them my early congratulations.  They have done enough by way of political rhetoric and political reality to maintain or enhance their vote-share; their oppositions on either side have both failed badly. The BJP may make some marginal gains especially in Bihar but they have generally done enough to lose the day.  The CPM too will lose popularity especially in Bengal, and will never progress until they fire their JNU economists which they are never going to do.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So, Sonia-Rahul, well done!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But please try to improve your economics.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And, also, you simply must get Dr Manmohan Singh a seat in the Lok Sabha if he is to be PM &#8212; Ambedkar and Nehru and all their generation did not specify that India&#8217;s PM must be from the Lok Sabha because it was something totally OBVIOUS.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Subroto Roy, Kolkata</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Postscript: Someone at a website has referred to my prediction above and remarked: “Perhaps the good doc is aware of the money in play”. The answer is no, I have absolutely no special information about any “money in play” on any side. My prediction is based on a layman’s observation of the campaign, as well as more specialised analysis of past voting data from the EC. In an earlier post, I pointed out the BJP had gotten some 17 million fewer votes than the Congress in 2004, and I asked if they had done enough to get enough of a net change in their favour. The answer I think is that they have not done so. To the contrary, I think there will be a quite large net change in favour of Congress thanks to a better-run and better-led campaign. Of course it is just a prediction that may be found to be incorrect.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;">I do not know if anyone in India audits or checks the Election Commission&#8217;s arithmetic and procedures.   Certainly the EC seems to leave a great deal to be desired by its slowness, its high-handedness and its obscurity/lack of transparency.   I have said previously that this may be a result of obsolescent technology and management and organisation &#8212; problems that may be common across many departments of the Government of India and our State Governments.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Here then are the elements of  a tool for use of ordinary citizens which may allow everyone to check the arithmetic involved in the EC&#8217;s counting of those hundreds of millions of votes all of us have cast in the 2009 General Elections.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On the vertical axis is supposed to be the list, by Parliamentary Constituency, of all 8,070 candidates who have contested the polls to the 15th Lok Sabha.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On the horizontal axis is supposed to be a series of 543 lists of Assembly Segments for each Constituency.  Please note that the horizontal axis has had to be truncated for lack of space after only ten such segments;  this covers the vast majority of Constituencies but there are a dozen or so in Goa, J&amp;K, Arunachal, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura which are not complete as they each have many more than 10.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So altogether here are the elements of a series of 543 matrices, one for each Lok Sabha Constituency, which may help ordinary citizens engage in a process of themselves auditing the EC&#8217;s declared results.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Or, at the very least, the 543 matrices would act as a score-card, and in this nation of cricket-fans, everyone loves a score-card.</p>
