All in India
The 2019 Nobel Prize in Economists (The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel) has been awarded to Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Michael Kremer of Harvard University for their experiment-based approach to study the poverty alleviation programs. Congratulations to all of them.
The United Nations General Assembly brought world policy makers and leaders to New York last week. Imran Khan of Pakistan and Narendra Modi of India were there. Of course, US President Donald Trump was there — he was the central cast. President Trump met with Khan and Modi bilaterally in New York.
Before the UN meetings, Trump met with Modi in Houston where 50,000 Indian Diaspora had gathered to celebrate and listen to Modi.
After all these meetings, the cheese did not move much.
Exit polls from India’s month-long parliamentary elections suggest that Narendra Modi led Bharatiya Janata Party is set to form the Government again with the support of allies. However, as I have argued here, the polls in India have been inaccurate to dismal.
India is now in the midst of national elections to determine who will govern the country for the next five years: which party or parties will form the government, and who will be the Prime Minister.
