Shashi Tharoor plus clarity is how I would describe it. Wizard in truest sense of the word. Future finance minister perhaps. In this interview, he outlines vision for India more clearly than any economist or politician I could think of. 
 

Sanjeev Sanyal is an Indian economist and author. Currently, he is the Principal Economic Adviser in the Ministry of Finance, Government of India.[1][2] A Rhodes Scholar and Eisenhower Fellow[3][2] He was Deutsche Bank's Global Strategist and a Managing Director till 2015.[3][4] He is also the author of several books including The Indian Renaissance: India's Rise after a Thousand Years of Decline,[5] Land of the Seven Rivers: A Brief History of India's Geography, The Incredible History of India's Geography, The Ocean of Churn: How human history was shaped by the Indian Ocean and Life Over Two Beers.[6]

OK, this guy is no way Tharoor.  His language is simple and clear, unlike the verbal diarrhea emanating from Tharoor's mouth.

 

He keeps saying he is not a Libertarian, but that is exactly what he is (at least the way I define Libertarianism - strong, limited government that provides excellent basic services and security).  His idea of libertarianism is more like anarchism.  

 

I love the concept of the Kautilyan state! This is a must-watch.  

 

BTW, someone here mentioned that theprint.in is a left-wing rag.  After watching a bunch of Shekar Gupta videos and articles of innovation, especially in biotechnology, I must disagree.

ThePrint is at least publishing couple of articles on the right of center people like Sanyal and Makaramd Paranjpe. Unlike theWire. Quint, caravan etc.  Have to credit Shekhar Coupta, who is a spin master, sometimes masquerades or dabbles away from his liberal tendencies. He is not all bad 

 

I don’t know much about Sanyal’s economic credentials, he has been the government’s economic advisor, along with Bibek Debroy. I have read his book on History - Land of Seven Rivers, he is a better intellectual than the fake Hindu Tharoor pseudo intellectual . People will enjoy this..as you can directly compare the two

Plenty of self proclaimed RW folks have a tendency to grossly generalize and bucket reporters dismissively simply because they disagree at times.

It's true for both sides.

of course it is.  But its wrong regardless of which 'side' does it. And whataboutism is a silly 'excuse' that doesn't even fly in kindergarten.
