The writer is Dawn’s correspondent in Delhi. PRIME MINISTER Narendra Modi has got India’s largest cricket stadium named after himself and this has kicked off needless fuss all around. If he is as bad as his critics say he is, someone will change the name of the stadium in the future, just as some from his ideological stable have changed other names of towns and streets, for example, Aurangzeb Road in Delhi. The last of the major Mughal rulers was cruel to Hindus, so the Hindutva narrative goes, never mind that extremely powerful Hindu Rajputs were his chieftains. Was Aurangzeb any kinder to his father Shah Jahan or his brother Dara Shikoh or to the Sufi mystic Shah Sarmad who like Dara was decapitated although he posed no threat to the Mughal throne? Had the demand to erase Aurangzeb’s name from a Delhi road come from Sikhs, it would have made sense for what the emperor did to the revered Sikh guru. ....

The writer is a political economist. A REVIEW of our economic data for this century triggers utter gloom. On almost all key indicators, we have either regressed or stagnated even while Bangladesh and India have made rapid progress. We must grow at six to seven per cent annually to absorb our youth bulge, but have done so only twice (2003-2005) this century. However, inflation has exceeded that level in 12 years, piling misery on the poor. The industrial sector usually absorbs the youth bulge. Unfortunately, it has stagnated at around 20pc of GDP for decades while the service sector has grown from around 50pc to 60pc. Many poorer states achieve growth via exports. Our exports have fallen from 15pc of GDP in 2003 to around 10pc. FDI aids growth too. But it has fallen from 3.7pc of GDP in 2007 to 1pc. ....
Opinion May 4, 2021 Some of the more effusive opponents of the current regime are prone to exaggeration. A most amusing bit of hyperventilation is when some claim with great confidence that the current era is worse than the Gen Ziaul Haq dictatorship. This is pure nonsense, but not because the protagonists of the current scenario are necessarily trying for things to be any better than the darkness of the 1980s. The comparison with the 1980s is nonsense because turning down the volume of the national discourse in Gen Zia’s era was just so much easier than it is today. In an era of a seemingly unlimited number of newspapers, television channels, social media feeds and angry, underserved citizens, the feeble attempts to ‘manage’ the national discourse only expose the limited imaginations of the protagonists of this unique time in Pakistan’s political history. ....
