episode Can India blame just war for its economic slowing? | LME 138 | Pooja Prasanna cover

Description

For years, India’s economy was projected as one of the world’s fastest-growing success stories. But long before the Iran-Israel-US war pushed oil prices higher, warning signs had already begun to appear - falling wages, weak demand, slowing exports, struggling MSMEs, and a weakening rupee. So did the war trigger India’s economic stress? Or did it simply expose deeper problems that were already building beneath the surface? In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down why economists are worried about India’s economy, what the falling rupee and rising fuel prices really mean, and whether India’s growth story is becoming increasingly fragile.

RSS registration row: What history tells us | Let Me Explain 145 | Pooja Prasanna

Why doesn't the RSS register itself as an organisation? The debate may be making headlines today, but it began more than 50 years ago when an RSS insider took the organisation to court.  In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna traces the legal history of the RSS through court records, charity proceedings and tax disputes.  How did the RSS describe itself before different authorities? Why did it amend its Constitution in 1972? And what do these legal battles reveal about its structure, finances and accountability?  Like Pooja's LME?
