But is that the whole truth? To uncover this, we sat down with Dr. Arun Kumar, one of India’s most outspoken economists, a retired JNU professor, and the author of landmark books on black money, GST, and public policy. For over four decades, he’s been warning about cracks in India’s economy that very few dare to talk about. And in this conversation, we spoke about: Is India really a $4 trillion economy or just a $2.5 trillion illusion? Did demonetisation bring India’s economy to a permanent standstill? Is GST actually helping businesses, or destroying micro-enterprises? Can MSP and APMC reforms save India’s farmers or sink us further? Where is India’s economy truly heading in the next decade?
