The Political Case to Short India

The country of India comprises of 35 states subdivided into 618 districts. Naxalism (Communist / Maoist terrorists) exists in 50 districts according to the author, that is less than 8 % of the total.

Propensity to write off India as a basket case exists to a large extent among western authors as they are unable to comprehend how such a diverse nation with so much of disparity can still exist as a nation. Especially in a recession. India has and has been working towards solving these issues. The issues are large and mind boggling no doubt. But a lot of progress has been made.

Those parts of India which are the least developed show the most Naxal activism and this is to be expected. The government should and it will continue to devote more resources to developing these areas to strengthen the nation.

India's private sector is vibrant, and its stock market is well developed. Private enterprise has led much of the recent gains and will continue to. I have no doubt India will emerge from this "global" recession stronger. It has grown over the last year and will continue to grow through the current "global" recession as well.
