Raghuram Rajan Controversy: Why Subramanian
Swamy HAS a Point
There is a sense of anger among Indian intellectual class, stunned by the demand
made by Dr Subramanian Swamy for sacking of Dr Raghuram Rajan - the most
respected, ever charming, hottest RBI Governor India has ever had. From Shobha
De to newspaper editors to the average Joe, Dr Raghuram Rajan commands a
following rivaling that of Salman Khan.
Not only analysts, commentators and financial daily editors have come out insupport of Dr Rajan, even common public seems to be completely unanimous in
their support of Dr Rajan and all the good work he has been doing for Indian

economy. Going by the number of editorials / articles and public forum
comments posted in support of Dr Rajan, one can easily conclude that India is in
safe hands, or at least perceived by the general public to be in safe hands.
There is no denying the fact that Dr Raghuram Rajan is one of the finest brains
when it comes to Economics. Applauded by some as one of the very few
economists to warn about 2008 crisis much ahead of the time, he is widely
respected and credited with sound understanding of complex macroeconomics
issues.
The last time a central banker got so much respect and public support was Alan
Greenspan in 2002 era. The other Economist, who got so much respect from
Indian public / experts / intellectuals, was Dr Manmohan Singh as Indias PM in
2004-09 era. Needless to say, public opinion is hardly the right barometer for
gauging long-term impact if one goes by the disdain both these gentlemen now
attract from academia and general public alike - as public opinion, fickle at best,
is always swayed by perception rather than hard facts.
The arguments made in support of Dr Rajan are multifold and cover almost every
possible ground to demonstrate how Rajan is the best man for the job and how
wrong is Subramanian Swamy. The main arguments given by supporters of Dr
Rajan are as follows:
1. Dr Rajan has been able to keep inflation under control by keeping interest
rates high initially and didnt succumb to political pressure (greatest virtue in the
country of Singham). This hard stance towards inflation kept cheap money out
and didnt allow buildup of another sub-prime scenario in India.
2. He has cracked open the NPA issue of banks and brought out the muck in
open. This cleansing of bank balance-sheets will usher in a new era oftransparency and will fix the nexus of politician-banker-bureaucrat forever, as the
public sector banks are the primary source of crony capitalism and high real

estate prices in India.
3. He has published far more papers than Dr Swamy and is cited / peer-reviewed
many times more compared to Dr Swamy.
4. He is very well respected by International media and considered to be one of
the best brains in Economics
5. He is a far better economist than Dr Subramanian Swamy who is more of a
lone ranger / fringe politician.
All the above arguments seem quite valid on the face of it, but then keep in mind
that the criticism of Raghuram Rajan is not made by some usual analyst but none
other than Dr Subramanian Swamy - one of the sharpest brains around with an
enviable track record of proving his points. So rather than jumping in defense of
Raghuram Rajan, it is much better to have a deeper look at the critique, since Dr
Swamy has a reputation of not making false claims without support from
necessary data. So rather than debating on issues like nos of papers published,
who is the better economist, etc., let us focus on the major issue of interest rates
and inflation, which seems to be the bone of contention among fan-boys and Dr
Swamy.
There is no debate that inflation has remained within limits since Dr Rajan took
over RBI in 2013 however, the low inflation has been more of a function of
massive drop in oil prices and commodity prices. Since 2013, oil prices have
dropped from the heights of US$ 90 a barrel to US$ 40 a barrel (55% drop).
Further, by choosing not to pass this price drop benefit to consumers, Indian govt
has been able to manage its high fiscal deficit, which in turn calmed down its
currency. Further, Modi Govt has been quite proactive in controlling food
inflation by taking quick actions, be it import of food items or action againsthoarders. Hence, to say that inflation in India is down due to strong monetary
policy and high interest rates is nothing but a big myth. In fact a little bit of

23/06/2016 These Types Of People Never Succeed At Work
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/some-people-never-succeed-work-dr-travis-bradberry 4/37
movement in oil prices in last quarter has already perked up the inflation.
Hence, it is obvious that high interest rate regime has nothing to do with inflation
and in fact every thing to do with low growth faced by India. Interestingly,
everyone has jumped on Subramanian Swamy, harping on the fact of rate cuts not
passed by banks to consumers and talking of headline interest rate, while totally
forgetting that Swamy is not talking of main interest rate but interest rate
available to SME sector. Interestingly, while interest rates for large corporate
hover around 9%, interest rates for SME sector hover in the range of 16% to 22%
and no attempt has been made to bring down this rate.
Worldwide, and especially in the Western world, monetary policies are effective
tools to manage inflation however, the economists trained in Western view need
to understand that India is not West and does not have the luxury of enormous
resources or well-oiled supply chain. Inflation in India is not a function of more
demand but supply side constraints, which become worse with higher interest
rates and crony capitalism. So far, not only has RBI failed in bringing down
overall lending rates in general economy, it has also not worked on main inflation
which is plaguing middle class and poor in India.
Unfortunately, all discussions related to inflation in India revolve around food
prices, while in actual the bigger share is consumed by housing sector. On an
average, almost 34% of a household income goes towards meeting the housing
cost (Rent/EMI), and thanks to liberal policies / crony capitalism indulged by
banks (primarily PSU Banks), the prices of housing have remained strong in India
and in fact are much higher than even the prices in Dr Rajans adopted country.
In 2008, when the whole world was reeling under severe liquidity crunch and
asset prices collapsed like anything, Indian real estate and Indian economy
remained insular and that was not due to sheer brain of Dr Manmohan Singh but
sheer luck in the form of 6th Pay Commission and crony capitalism of PSU banks(banks pumped capital in real estate firms and thus allowed them to keep prices
high) that saved the day for Indian economy and builders.

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/some-people-never-succeed-work-dr-travis-bradberry 5/37
However, this benevolence of Indian banks created other victims - that is overall
economic growth in general and middle class in particular. The continued high
real estate cost (EMI/Rent) left hardly any surplus cash in the hands of an
average consumer and in turn led to continued slowdown in the Indian industry
(a fact clearly visible if one goes by almost flat growth of white goods, commercial
vehicles, etc.), which was already reeling under high interest costs.
Now one may argue as to what is the relation between housing prices with
inflation and interest rates. By keeping interest rates for housing at 11% while
lending rate for SME at 14%, RBI has crowded out money from all sectors and
diverted it to housing. Given the power of leverage and faulty income tax laws,
investors are earning 30% to 36% returns from real estate and thus creating
capital scarcity and higher interest rates. Today, an SME or a hospital or an
educational institute pay interest rates in order of 14%+ while housing loans are
disbursed at 11% or lower, and on top of it get significant income tax rebate.
Dr Rajan, in his 2005 address, had observed that ongoing financial developments
had made the world a riskier place (no, he didnt predict the 2008 crisis as
believed popularly) and raised concerns regarding banks inability to handle risks
beyond a limit due to flawed reward structure. Interestingly, despite deep insight
into the workings of banking system, the RBI Governor in India never restrained
banks from providing additional liquidity to real estate or stopped fancy
derivative schemes like interest subvention, etc. This continued liquidity given to
housing sector in the form of lower interest rates and subvention schemes has
created massive build up of risk in Indian banking system in the form of housing.
Strangely, Dr Rajan didnt take any action in terms of normalizing exposure to
housing sector.
Hence, Dr Subramanian Swamy is correct when he says that Dr Raghuram Rajan
has wrecked the economy by wrong policies, since continuous 22% interest ratehas wrecked SME sector due to high costs and low demand as average household
has hardly any cash surplus left after paying for real estate costs (Rent/EMI).

So rather than saving and steering Indian economy, the policies of present
Governor have pushed India in a unique crisis with almost no industrial growth
coupled with high interest rates where there is massive unemployment or no job
growth except some small slivers of hope on account of massive funding to
startups.
Now with oil slowly limping back to US$ 50 per barrel and above, and 7th Pay
Commission on the horizon, Indian economy is going to face double whammy for
which neither Indian Finance Ministry nor RBI are well prepared.
So why is there such wide support for Dr Raghuram Rajan and so much disdain
for Dr Swamy? Interestingly, the reasons dont lie in economics data or hard facts
but in human behaviour.
We all love Dr Rajan because he is so much like us and represents our aspirations
- be it his education (IIT, IIMA, MIT), his career path (Chicago Professor, IMF,
RBI Governor), which we all aspire for us or for our kids to have. Not in the
distant past, we all went gaga over a certain other economist who ruled this
country for 10 years and despite all hard data / evidence about lack of moral
compass and corruption, we kept him revered and on the altar of perfection. So
this is basically about us and not at all about Dr Rajan or Dr Manmohan Singh.
Now on Dr Swamy the reason for the disdain and smirks thrown at him by the
great middle class is obvious as Dr Swamy is that super-intelligent lone warrior in
the class whom we all secretly admire but have none of the intellect, guts or
courage, and hence mock him, because however hard we try, we cant be him.
But then when was economics about data and not about human behaviour!!!

Good use of language and facts, but the results have been deduced rather
arbitrarily. On one side Shailesh agrees that Govt did not allow drop in oil
prices despite international crude oil price drop, on the other he credits the
inflation check to dropped oil prices. He managed inflation despite govt
holding on to oil prices.
The impact was clearly seen when govt increased prices back and that
goes against the very basics of this article.
The stability in rupee, opening up of dollar window to stop the sharp rupee
decline in matter of days, not dropping interest on home loans and pushing
realtors to drop housing prices etc are nowhere mentioned.

Remember, one percent change on interest rates only changes as much in
EMI but drop in housing prices is required for atleast 40 to 50% which only
builders can do.

Good explanation Gagandeep. On your builders' point of home
price reduction, they operate with a 35-40% margin.They have
the staying power for high prices for a significant period now
surprisingly. When will they reduce their margins is tough to
call. However, the result is, there are fund houses now that
have launched dedicated instruments to acquire distressed
realty assets. They are promising better returns relative to
PE/mezzanine investments. Additionally, towers are being
launched instead of entire projects sizes of apartments are
substantially smaller and some apartments in Bangalore now
sell at Rs 29 lakh onwards. Can you beat that? Necessity to
sell in stressed times is, naturally, the mother of invention on
the marketing and sales front.

Experience and knowledge are rapidly losing their relevance to success in the
workplace. Harvard economist David Deming studied workplace tasks from 1980
to the present day and found that those that emphasize social skills grew by a
whopping 24%, while tasks requiring technical know-how and intelligence
experienced little growth. Deming also found that salaries increased the most for
obs that place extra emphasis on social skills.
With the increasing emphasis on social skills, those who lack them stand out like
a zebra in a field of horses. We all know the types: the person who wont stop
talking when youre trying to meet a deadline, the one who blatantly takes credit
for your ideas, or the one who callously leaves you to pull an all-nighter to fix
their mistake. The list goes on.

massive detriments to their careers.
Social skills and self-awareness are matters of emotional intelligence (EQ), and
TalentSmarts research with over a million people has shown that emotional
intelligence is responsible for 58% of job performance. Those who lack emotional
intelligence are at a significant disadvantage.
There are certain types of people whose lack of emotional intelligence harms their

them, and, if your reading experience is anything like my writing experience,
youll see bits of yourself in some of these profiles. Use thatknowledge to build
your self-awareness, make adjustments, and grow as a person.
The coward. Fear is an extremely powerful motivator. This is why presidential
candidates tell people that their opponent will destroy the economy and
advertisements warn that smoking kills. In the workplace, people overcome by
fear resort to irrational and damaging behavior. Cowardly colleagues are quick to
blame others and to cover up important mistakes, and they fail to stand up for
what is right.
The Dementor. In J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter series, Dementors are evil
creatures that suck peoples souls out of their bodies, leaving them merely as
shells of humans. Whenever a Dementor enters the room, it goes dark and cold
and people begin to recall their worst memories. Rowling said that she developed
the concept for Dementors based on highly negative peoplethe kind of people
who have the ability to walk into a room and instantly suck the life out of it.

pessimism upon everyone they encounter. Their viewpoints are always glass half
empty, and they can inject fear and concern into even the most benign situations.
The arrogant.Arrogant people are a waste of your time because they see
everything you do as a personal challenge. Arrogance is false confidence, and it
always masks major insecurities. A University of Akron study found that
arrogance is correlated with a slew of problems in the workplace. Arrogant people
tend to be lower performers and more disagreeable and to have more cognitive
problems than the average person.
The group-thinker. Group-thinkers choose the path of least resistance and are
famous for propagating the this is how weve always done it mentality. If you
find yourself getting brainwashed with what everyone else believes, be careful the
status quo never leads to greatness.
The short-changed. The short-changed are quick to blame their lack of
accomplishment on a lack of opportunity. While a lucky break may put a little
wind in a successful persons sails, they got where they are through hard work.
What the short-changed dont realize is that their attitude is whats short-
changing them, not their circumstances.
The temperamental.Some people have absolutely no control over their
emotions. They will lash out at you and project their feelings onto you, all the
while thinking that youre the one causing their malaise. Temperamental people
perform poorly because their emotions cloud their judgment and their lack of
self-control destroys their relationships. Be wary of temperamental people when
push comes to shove they will use you as their emotional toilet.
The victim.Victims are tough to identify because you initially empathize with
their problems. But, as time passes, you begin to realize that their time of needis all the time. Victims actively push away any personal responsibility by making
every speed bump they encounter into an uncrossable mountain. They dont see

tough times as opportunities to learn and grow from instead, they see them as an

The gullible.You cant help but feel sorry for the gullible type. Theyre the ones
who find themselves babysitting the bosss kids the morning after pulling a late
night of work . . . on a Sunday! For whatever reason, gullible people (often
newbies) go with the flow until the gentle river becomes a tumultuous ocean. Its
okay to negotiate your salary, its okay to say no, and its okay to question the way
things are done. Youll earn a lot more respect if you stand up for yourself when
the time is right.
The apologizer. For every person out there who owes an apology, theres
another who apologizes too often. People who lack confidence are always
apologizing for their ideas and actions. They fear failure and believe that
apologizing will act as a safety net. Instead, unnecessary apologies cheapen their
ideas and make them less likely to stick. Its important that your tone of voice and
body language reflect the importance of your ideas. Stating an idea or opinion as
a question is just as bad as apologizing. If you really believe something is worth
sharing, then own it and share it with confidence.
None of these behaviors are a career death sentence because they can be
eradicated through improved emotional intelligence. All it takes is a little self-
awareness and a strong desire to change.

investments, which it long shunned."
Tesla's proposal to buy SolarCity was not well received.Where to begin
Tesla shares plunged, Oppenheimer downgraded the stockand "high-profile"investment manager Jim Chanosslammed it as "corporate governance at its
worst." Musk owns about 20% of each company but will recuse himself from
approval votes. This means large institutional holders will get to decide, and
"there are signs," Reuters reports, "that some of the biggest funds holding shares
of both companies might be open to a deal."What is LinkedIn? Join Today Sign In

The China company whose iPhone 6 copyright infringement claim was
upheld by a Beijing regulator "barely exists,"reports the Wall Street
Journal. Shenzhen Baili used to be a player but fell victim to the "rapid boom and
bust" of China's smartphone industry. It has no physical or virtual presence (WSJ
reporters called, visited, clicked). Parent company Digione, doesexist, and is
pressing the claim for a device which doesn't. The issue here is not whether
Digione makes phones anymore, but whether the iPhone 6 infringes on this
patent, a company attorney explains.
Michigan's attorney general sued seven companies over the Flint
water crisis. Topping the listwere the US arm of French water consulting
company Veolia Environnement SA and Texas engineering firm Lockwood,
Andrews & Newnam. The civil suit alleges the firms caused "the Flint Water Crisis
to occur, continue and worsen." Four officials have resigned, criminal charges
were against three of them, and the lead-tainted water may have been responsible
for 12 deaths from Legionnaires Disease.
