Puliyabaazi Hindi Podcast

हम सभी जानते है कि भारत की राज्य क्षमता यानी की state capacity सीमित है। इसका असर आम भारतीयों के जीवन पर भी होता है। प्राथमिक शिक्षा का उदाहरण लें तो यदि हम यथास्थिति बनाए रखते हैं, तो 2047 तक, हमारे पास अन्य 20 करोड़ बच्चे होंगे जो बुनियादी साक्षरता के बिना प्राथमिक शिक्षा पूरी करेंगे। लेकिन बड़ा सवाल यह है कि राज्य की क्षमता कैसे बढ़ाई जाए? सरकारी नौकरशाही के ब्लैक बॉक्स को कैसे सुधारा जाए? इन्हीं कुछ अहम सवालों के जवाबों की खोज प्रोफेसर कार्तिक मुरलीधरन की नयी किताब में। माफ़ कीजियेगा, ये किताब नहीं, ग्रंथ है। आज की पुलिया पर उसकी झांकी लीजिये, वो भी प्रोफ़ेसर साहब की सहज हिंदी में। हमें तो कई उत्तर मिलें। आप भी सुनिए, और कुछ सवाल हो तो हमें ज़रूर भेजिए। The Indian state takes up mighty goals, but fails to fulfil them due to its limited state capacity. This has disastrous consequences on the lives of ordinary Indians. Take the example of primary education—if we maintain the status quo, by 2047, we will have another 20 crore children that will finish primary school without basic literacy. But the big question is how to increase state capacity? How to tweak the black box of government bureaucracy to make it work better? In this puliyabaazi, we look for some answers from Prof. Karthik Muralidharan’s new book that combines scholarly research and practical insights to provide actionable, evidence-based strategies for better governance.

इस हफ़्ते पुलियाबाज़ी पर हमारे दो बेंगलुरु निवासी होस्ट ‘कारे मेघा, कारे मेघा’ का आलाप लगाते पाए गए। पानी कब बरसेगा ये तो पता नहीं, पर इस पानी की समस्या में छिपे कुछ पब्लिक पॉलिसी के पाठ प्रणय ने ख़ोज निकाले। जब किसी संसाधन की कमी हो तो उसकी सही कीमत लगाने से उसका सही उपयोग निश्चित किया जा सकता है, ये तो पुलियाबाज़ी के श्रोता जानते ही होंगे। आज की पुलियाबाज़ी में नज़र दौड़ाते हैं बेंगलुरु में मिल रहे पानी की सही कीमत और उसे कौन चुकाता है इसके बारे में भी। इसी साथ पब्लिक पॉलिसी समझने के एक फ्रेमवर्क विकसैलियन कनेक्शन को भी समझ लेते हैं। As the graph below shows, the silicon valley of India is experiencing a heat wave. This is going to exacerbate the ongoing water crisis. While many find the solution in drawing more from Kaveri, Pranay analyses the issue through the framework of Wicksellian Connection—a public policy framework that looks for an overlap between the three aspects of utilising a scarce resource. Who decides? Who gets the benefit? Who pays for it? How does Bengaluru’s water supply fare when tested on this framework? What are the consequences of such a Wicksellian Disconnection and how can it be resolved? This and more on today’s Puliyabaazi. We discuss: * A public policy view to water crisis * A Wicksellian Disconnection * Subsidising the elite * Water usage in Singapore * Solution based on this framework * Where to apply this framework?

आज़ादी के बाद भारत में जो राजनीतिक पार्टियां उभर कर आ रही थी उसमें से एक थी राजाजी द्वारा स्थापित स्वतंत्र पार्टी। उनकी कोशिश थी की आज़ादी के बाद के भारत में कांग्रेस की योजनाबद्ध व्यवस्था के सामने स्वतंत्र आर्थिक नीति के समर्थन में एक प्रतिपक्ष रखा जाये। क्या थी इस स्वतंत्र पार्टी की विचारधारा और उसकी राजनीति? जिस समय देश में समाजवादी विचारधारा का प्रभुत्व था उस समय अमरीका की लिबर्टेरियन विचारधारा से प्रभावित पार्टी कैसे उभर कर आ पायी? हमें तो ये कहानी एक गुत्थी की तरह लगी जो हमारे मेहमान आदित्य बालसुब्रमन्यन अपनी किताब और इस पुलियाबाज़ी में बख़ूबी सुलझाते हैं। हिंदी में बोलने के आदी न होने के बावजूद आदित्य ने हिंदी में बात करने का विशेष प्रयत्न किया उस के लिए उन्हें शुक्रिया। Join us in this conversation as we try to understand the origins and ideology of the Swatantra party, which was an attempt at offering effective opposition to Congress’s one party dominance in post-independence India. The party, founded by C. Rajagopalachari who famously formulated the term ‘Licence Permit Raj’, was influenced by libertarian thought and rallied behind the promise of a free economy in contrast to the planned economy of the erstwhile Congress government. But history is seldom that straightforward. This story and its characters also have many shades. Listen patiently as our guest Aditya Balasubramanian narrates a comprehensive picture of the Swatantra party and its politics. We discuss: * Understanding the roots of liberalisation * Emerging ideologies after independence * Free Economy vs Free Markets * Policy changes after independence * How did they gather electoral strength * Rallying around private property rights * C. Rajagopalachari’s involvement in Swatantra * Difference between theory and practice * The decline of Swatantra * The use of print public sphere Readings: Toward a Free Economy by Aditya Balasubramanian Listen to related Puliyabaazi: भारत में बैंकिंग : हुंडी से सरकारीकरण तक.

कहते है न कि पब्लिक पॉलिसी में अक्सर पब्लिक ही गायब रहती है। इसलिए हमारी कोशिश रहती है कि किसी तरह लोगों की लोकनीति में रुचि बढ़ाई जाए । पुलियाबाज़ी भी उसी दिशा में एक कदम है। अब इस श्रृंखला में एक और कड़ी जुड़ चुकी है—ख्याति, प्रणय और अनुपम की नयी किताब ‘We, the Citizens’ जो लोकनीति के मुश्किल पाठ चित्रों के द्वारा आसान भाषा में सीखाने की कोशिश करती है। आज की पुलियाबाज़ी इसी किताब और उसके पीछे की कहानी पर। This week on Puliyabaazi, Khyati and Pranay share the story behind their new book ‘We, the Citizens’. What was the idea behind the book? What was the process to bring it to life? Also, Khyati shares her journey as a comic illustrator, from drawing short comics for introverts to a fully illustrated 180-pager on public policy.

क्या भारत चीन के मैन्युफैक्चरिंग मॉडल की नकल करके विकास कर पायेगा? क्या भारत अपनी जनसंख्या और भारत की सर्विस सेक्टर में बढ़त का फायदा उठाकर एक बेहतर विकास का रास्ता खोज सकता है? इसी विषय पर अर्थशास्त्री रोहित लाम्बा और रघुराम राजन की नयी किताब ‘ब्रेकिंग थी मोल्ड’ पर विस्तार में चर्चा। What should be India’s strategy so that it can grow rich before it grows old? Is the path to India’s success through state-subsidised manufacturing or through a services driven model? This week on Puliyabaazi, we dive into these questions with economist Rohit Lamba in a discussion on his new book “Breaking the Mould” co-authored with Raghuram Rajan.
