Didn't Modi's attempt at liberalizing the farming sector create the largest recorded protests in human history?

yes, and he mostly dropped that. The new thing modi's corporate backers are trying is to make the AAP the counterpart to modi so we can have an americanized political system where you get to choose between AAP and the BJP while the state's assets keep getting sold to corporations.

He couldn't successfully abolish the farming subsidy but he did privatize the Air India. Sold it to Tata.

And they have been talking about privatizing the banking sector for a long time, probably will get around to it soon, giving his popularity.

However, I wouldn't call Modi a "neolib" or pro free market, i think he does these to benefit his party. India has not signed any FTA in 10 years and none since BJP have came to power. Also the India government regularly probes foreign large corporations and hands them with fines. So BJP is not FDI friendly.

The government still has a bunch of debt from Air India. The co-op banking sector was basically killed off due to demonetization already. You really don't have much to offer in India if you go full free trade because people aren't rich enough to be a big market. You also forget that modi is dumb as poo poo and the country is essentially being run by a bunch of IAS officers who used to run Gujarat. They are absolutely market loving social darwinists.

on a personal level the only thing modi knows is hating muslims. the cult of personality around him has worked because of massive levels of funding and support from oligarchs. he owes them and they don't want total free trade either because that would enroach on their fiefdoms.

from a global trade perspective, I used to work in the intl soybean business and when those measures were raised in India it made US soybean more attractive for their Asian neighbors, even with ocean transportation rates. our volumes to Korea skyrocketed (we were already having solid business to Japan) and markets that we never considered started calling us. one notable was Myanmar. they never bought from the USA before so I had to educate them on how the export process works with quality since they were so used to Indian customs. when buying from India there is a ton of 3rd party testing and quality assurance since you’re buying from a ton of small farmers delivering their ag to a processor. maybe there was also an issue with just honest trade but I didn’t want to make assumptions. just a lot more red tape and documentation.

I’d get examples of the documents they wanted and informed them that just doesn’t exist here because of the different food regulations we have in the states or it would be very cost prohibitive to have people fumigate containers or 3rd party quality inspectors on top of our own that have to follow USDA.

they wanted like 100 containers a month and payments went to either Australia or Singapore. we got the business though.

If you lack a personality then people can project everything they want onto you. The IT slave thinks modi will make his gaming rig cheaper, the small business tyrant thinks modi will gas the muslims and commies, the market liberal thinks modi will make living in bombay feel like living in NY.

I don't see a central thread or consistent grand strategy in Modi's national policies over the years. I think more than half of them are centered around the next election. Including the border clash with China and Pakistan. I am not saying which side started it, let's say it takes two to tango.

I also think he will go for reelection.

Edit: some of the policies he pushes for are forward looking, like the recent army reform.

does this mean they were expecting prices from india to rise due to consolidation? or disruption in supply?

yea, sounds about right. 2020 started our Korean surge but then South Asia folks started calling us about early 2021. I don’t recall an Indian ban for what we were shipping. it was processed flakes/flour and not whole soybeans.

Am I understanding you correctly that the US has/had laxer regulations on soybean quality compared to India?

The INC didn't lose a massive civil war and get forced to set up a meme government in Andaman or something. They were competent enough to keep their state going but got flat footed by trying to do both political liberalism and economic redistributionism at a time when the Web 2.0 social media for change thing was still seen as something organic.
