"so sad... so bad.."
 
Why USA picks up new problem every year ? And we along with other countries has to pay for it.
 
Can Venezuela afford to suspend oil supply to India ..

That's the point, I think we are on the wrong side here. Maduro doesn't want to trade in Indian rupees, US won't give waiver like for Iranian oil. He sold off 40% gold reserve last year to Turkey, UAE etc. At present its better to stay neutral, not to buy Venezuelan oil to avoid sanctions. Things may escalate now.
 
India's Rupee Just Went From Asia's Worst to Best Currency

(Bloomberg) -- Asia’s worst-performing currency took five weeks to become its best.

The turnaround has been fueled by the improved chances of Prime Minister Narendra Modi winning a second term amid recent tensions between India and Pakistan. The optimism has led to local shares and debt luring robust flows, which have turned the carry-trade returns on the rupee to the highest in the world in the past month.

Let's hope there is no Fed rate hike in coming months.
 

It is to be expected. Says roughly represents 10% of rural households (with major income from casual farm labour).

If you go to south especially, huge amounts of farming have been mechanized. Before it was just Punjab area traditionally (during say pre 1991 phase). Now you can add South to it and increasingly West (MH + Guj)...and I am sure the last phase will be the sweeping of the phenomenon into central heartland and ganges plains etc once wealth has been gathered in enough intensity there to invest into such assets in large scale.

This is why its important that as much light industry, manufacturing and city service jobs etc are allowed to flourish in India. If you allow market to operate in agriculture more and more....the same must be down for every other economic activity and sector (along with good access to quick training etc)....so that people can move to jobs there that have been displaced readily in Agriculture.

In the article it shows, more formalised contract labour + self-employed rural stuff can only pick up so much of the slack.

If managed well, this will all propel urbanisation from the 33% level it is at now to say a solid 50% level....which will help realise more economies of scale.

With a massive push for upgrading rural infrastructure to the level of urban, value additions at rural level itself will start to happen in a big way with the products reaching the urban markets

Otoh, formal jobs are being created in decent numbers.
