while india s growth story is strong, but inflation has been a sticking point, and on friday last week, the central bank also did not change the key interest rate, kept it on the higher side, showing its concern on the rising food prices. so that is something the government keenly wants to contain, and after the export curbs were announced last friday, the wholesale prices of onions did see some crashing down but this certainly has not left the exporters very happy. onions are so important to indian cooking aren t they? we saw the response from the farmers, who blocked that highway, what has the response from ordinary people been? well, onion prices have actually gone up substantially since last year, they are almost double. it is a kitchen staple in india and it is also a political subject across states in india, that is why the government is keenly focused on that. there are certainly has been a respite in prices, but most of it will reflect only in coming days when it move
