Best of BS Opinion: The missing foreign bogey, income volatility, and more

Here's a selection of Business Standard opinion pieces for the day
 

Over the past decade, Bangladesh has gained increasing recognition as the stellar economic performer in South Asia. With a per capita income that is now higher than India’s, superior economic growth rates, less inequality and in some instances better social indicators, Bangladesh has reason to celebrate its golden jubilee as an independent nation, writes TN Ninan

Pakistan, Bangladeshis and terrorism are missing from the Modi-Shah election campaign. They seem to have understood the risks of cynical mixing of domestic political motivations with strategic national interests, writes Shekhar Gupta

With the massive dilution or total absence of consumption-led growth, we are in for a prolonged or even permanent period of less than 7 per cent growth, writes TCA Srinivasa-Raghavan

“I appreciate and am grateful for the judgement passed by the honourable Supreme Court today. It is not an issue of winning or losing. After relentless attacks on my integrity and the ethical conduct of the group, the judgement upholding all the appeal of Tata Sons is a validation of the values and ethics that have always been the guiding principles of the group."

Chairman Emeritus of Tata Group Ratan Tata
