It’s about something quieter, deeper, and far more dangerous: the slow fading of reform momentum. He warns that while our economy might grow at 5% on autopilot, going beyond that needs bold policy; and right now, that’s missing. What’s wild? He says the same team that helped draft his 1990 ‘mini-Budget’ also shaped Manmohan Singh’s historic 1991 Budget. Same words, same crisis, same urgency. But today? No crisis. No urgency. And worse; no conversation about fiscal deficit in Parliament. Sinha recalls being called a ‘fiscal terrorist’ for trying to control subsidies; and now, no one even questions it. His big insight? Demand must be sequenced right; build infrastructure, create jobs, then let consumer demand follow. He pushed housing reforms in 1998 that triggered a silent revolution; yet today, it’s forgotten. If you think India’s economy is just ‘growing fine’, Sinha’s warning might make you rethink everything.
