Let’s Talk Bharat | India rejected Western advice to destroy own economy

In today’s episode, Anupam Kher is joined by Sanjeev Sanyal, a prominent Indian economist and member of the Economic Advisory Council to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sanyal talks about the nation’s self-reliance goals and explains not only the current state of Bharat’s economy, but also breaks down just what it took to make the country the world’s fifth-largest and fastest-growing major economy. Sanyal also touches upon persistent Western attempts at patronising India, as he recalls how New Delhi chose not to listen to Western advice during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has allowed it to remain a macroeconomically stable nation.
