    First of all, let us focus on the political environment. India had a very long period of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, and then became the colony of the British for nearly 100 years. In 1947, India was independent, and became a republic country. Due to British influence, India’s political structure is similar to Britain. India has a parliamentary system and a party system. There are more than eight national and two dozen regional parties in India. Among these parties, the Congress Party is the most influential party in the country. It had uninterrupted control of the government for 33 of the 44 years following independence. The Congress Party played a really importance role in India’s economic reform. For example, the aged P.V. Narasimha Rao led the Congress Party from 1991-1996 and was responsible for much of India’s free market reform in the early to mid-1990s. Comparing with other Asian countries, India’s parliamentary system and party system makes the political environment relatively free and open. At the same time, the influence and authority of the Congress Party also makes India’s political environment relatively stable. However there are also lots of issues impacting India’s stable…

    India suffers with maximum inflation compared to chief markets. From the last two years India is trying to bring down the inflation rate but all the efforts are in vain. Started with the hike in food prices, inflation now has a strong foothold in the Indian economy. The consequence is that the hiked price is now considered as the “new normal” in an economy which has had subsidised prices since independence. To counter this Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has raised lending rates numerous times since March 2010.…

    If it all there is a dream in the minds of India’s policy makers and RBI, it is to conquer the unflinching inflation.
