Dear Reader,

India’s economy is often discussed through headline growth rates and market optimism. But at Scroll, we believe readers deserve analysis that ask harder questions about where the economy is headed – and whether current policies can deliver long-term prosperity.

In recent weeks, we examined why India needs more than resilience to navigate an uncertain world. Our analysis argued that resilience is not an economic strategy: India requires a clear economic philosophy to guide decisions on growth, jobs and development.

We also looked at the rupee’s weakness against the dollar. Rather than treating the currency’s slide as a purely external problem, our piece explored how deeper vulnerabilities in the domestic economy shape India’s financial stability.

And in a wide-ranging essay, historian Ramachandra Guha asked whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are likely to pursue the economic reforms India urgently needs.

These articles reflect what Scroll does best: independent journalism that moves beyond daily headlines to examine the ideas, assumptions and policies shaping India’s future.
