Video Introduction
In this episode, you'll discover:
Has India really delivered on the 2014 promise? The BJP's case for poverty reduction, infrastructure, digital payments and welfare, and the opposition's counter using unemployment, savings and rural wage data.
Why India's demographic dividend could become a demographic disaster if the country doesn't create enough productive jobs before the population starts ageing.
The uncomfortable education problem: More IITs, AIIMS, MBBS seats and higher-education enrolment, but are Indian students actually becoming employable?
Why paper leaks and police brutality expose a bigger question: Is the government reacting quickly enough, or should a government of 12 years have built systems that prevent these failures altogether?
The manufacturing paradox: India has attracted investment, expanded infrastructure and entered sectors like semiconductors, so why hasn't manufacturing's share of GDP reached the target set in 2014?
Can India really de-risk itself from global shocks? From the Russia-Ukraine war to Middle East disruptions, how vulnerable is India's growth model to events outside its control?
The biggest debate of all: When two sides can produce a statistic to counter almost every statistic, how do we actually measure whether a country is progressing?
This isn't a debate about whether the BJP has done everything right or everything wrong.
It's a debate about a much harder question:
After 12 years in power, what should India's benchmark for success actually be?
Watch the full debate and decide for yourself who made the stronger case for India's future.
