14 Nov 2017-The Hindu Editorial -Vocabulary

India must balance diverse alliances as it strengthens its East Asia pivot Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Philippines to attend the ASEAN-India summit, the East Asia Summit and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership summit has put India centre-stage in the Asian region now referred to as “Indo-Pacific”. Equally, it puts the “Indo-Pacific” and ties with the U.S. centre-stage in India’s Act East policy, in all three spheres: political, strategic and economic. Mr. Modi’s arrival in Manila was preceded by the first meeting of the India-U.S.-Japan-Australia quadrilateral , a grouping first mooted in 2006 by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It ended with statements on cooperation for a “free, open, prosperous and inclusive Indo-Pacific region”, a direct signal that it will counter China’s actions in the South China Sea if necessary. Next, Mr. Modi’s meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump saw a similar emphasis on cooperating in the Indo-Pacific, a term now wi...

13 Nov 2017-The Hindu Editorial -Vocabulary

 The turmoil will end only with a full, fair probe into the alleged plot to influence judges There is absolutely no doubt that the Chief Justice of India is the master of the roster .

THE HINDU Editorial -Vocabulary- NOVEMBER 8 , 2017

Corporate earnings show a mild recovery, but valuations remain a major concern India Inc.’s earnings performance for the second quarter of the financial year has turned out to be largely in line with street expectations . Both revenue and profits , when compared to the results reported for the first quarter ending June , have shown signs of improvement that suggest a slow but steady pick-up in demand in the wider economy. This is comforting news for many who feared that the twin shocks of demonetization and the hasty implementation of the GST would have significant medium to long-term effects on the economy. The quick rebound in the earnings of corporate India, however, should not come as too much of a surprise. Both demonetization and the introduction of the GST, while definitely disruptive, are transitory in terms of their economic impact. It is also worth noting that most analysts had revised their earnings estimates downwards in the wake of the rapid policy changes. Su...
