Ep. 31: The Indian Economy - A Short History (Part 1)

On an all new episode of "Uncle, Please Sit!", Joel and Tushar chat with Anupam Manur, an expert studying the intersection of economics, technology, and public policy. The topic of conversation this week is the Indian Economy.

In the first of a two-part episode, the panel discusses the status of the Indian economy before and after independence. They explore the guiding philosophies of the Nehruvian years, Indira Gandhi's hard turn towards socialism, and years leading up to the balance of payments crisis. Along the way, they also try to figure out the reasoning behind the decisions of India's policymakers. Click through to check out the episode!

From holding court in drawing rooms they have moved on to the much wider canvas of Whatsapp forwards. Who are these people who confidently squeeze out rubbish from everything they have read on twitter? On this podcast, Editor and Creative Producer Joel Pereira along with the Writer and Stand-up Comedian Tushar Abhichandani, attempt to counter them, along with the barrage of misguided opinions we are often inundated with from all sides. As Joel and Tushar peel the layers and misinformation of "Beta, you should do this and that", you will hear them say "Uncle, Please sit". Tune in to the new episodes every Monday.
