Description

India's fourth-quarter GDP growth fell to 6.1 per cent, lower than China's. What are the methods used to gauge GDP numbers? Are there any flaws in the whole process? Journalist & economist Mihir Sharma joins Abhinandan Sekhri, Atul Chaurasia, Anand Ranganathan and Manisha Pande as we delve into India's GDP growth. We also discuss, the fiasco in Aligarh Muslim University -- the story that non-Muslim students are supposedly forced to starve. Plus, can KPS Gill be given all the credit for crushing the militancy in Punjab? The team also talks about outgoing Rajasthan High Court judge's idea of the cow as a national animal and asexual peacocks, beef-fests in Kerala and how PSUs have always been cash machines for the government. Listen Up, there's a song dedication too. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
