My agriculture reform article in TOI and comment by Kisaan Putra Andolan
I’m not engaging with India at the moment, being on a sabbatical + I wish to focus my time/ mind on some essential books and training material. However, two things worth noting: a) My fifth centrepiece article in TOI (and my sixth in all, since 2007): Get out of farmers’ way: In the end government […]

A paid Pracharak system for Swarna Bharat Party
I’ve alluded to this here, but a bit more detail, below. A key gap we have in India is the insufficient supply of highly trained trainers for liberalism. I intend to set up a training institute for SBP in the coming year/s, which would comprise a group of highly paid proponents of economics and liberty. It […]
Reverting to book writing after a gap of over seven years
My sabbatical finally gives me breathing space to read and write. For seven years my work has been almost entirely in support of political liberalism in India. This has included massive amount of time and effort to build and manage Swarna Bharat Party. Now, that is behind me – at least for the foreseeable future. […]
Why am I on a political sabbatical? – a video blog
In this video blog I respond to a number of people who’ve written to me, to clarify matters. My key message: I’ve not resigned from Swarna Bharat Party nor do I intend to do so. I expect everyone involved in promoting liberalism in India to take this forward to the best of their ability.

Modi, stop looting the poor! SBP demands 1/5th petrol taxes and 10 per cent GST
My video for SBP. Unless the people of India wake up, Modi will keep on looting the poor and subsidising the rich.
My article in CNN News18 on Modi’s lateral entry program
CNN New18 requested my views on Modi’s lateral entry initiative. I’ve explained how this initiative makes good sense only if Modi’s goal is to replace the entire IAS and tenured services with an accountable machine of governance. The article: https://www.news18.com/news/opinion/o... For those interested in details, I’ve provided the transition steps in my book, Breaking Free […]

What are property rights? Is there any “natural” right to use one’s property?
This is a post where I’ll spend time to think about the core meaning of a property right. From what I understand a property right is merely a naming right. It is a claim of ownership. It does not imply the right to use property without regard to its impacts on the rest of society. […]

Ask Me Anything on Reddit on 20 June at 4 pm – on behalf of SBP
As you know, I had started planning an AMA on Reddit. I’m persuaded that it is an effective medium to reach out to thousands of potential leaders. A few days ago SBP announced the AMA. Reddit has verified me, so we will have a fully verified AMA. At least three volunteers from SBP will support […]
