Hi,

Sharing a recent article from Vivek Kaul, an economist who IMHO is amazing 
at bringing data together to make his case.

https://www.equitymaster.com/diary/detail.asp?date=03/26/2018&story=3&title=Corporates-Responsible-for-More-Than-80-of-Bad-Loans-of-Public-Sector-Banks

One of his recurring sources for data: Centre for Monitoring Indian 
Economy, https://www.cmie.com . But what's striking is that he's quick at 
deriving crucial data points from several starred / unstarred questions 
raised in Parliament which complement the official figures and form crucial 
pieces of the puzzle. Also, there's granularity coming from delving deeper 
into the data and separating factors out rather than treating things like a 
black box. For example, the data on loans waivers to corporates vs loan 
waivers to farmers show a clear divergence and tell us about the need to 
not conflate the two.

I don't think he gets much love from civil society, as his inferences and 
recommendations veer more towards classical Libertarianism than socialism, 
particularly regarding role of government in economy, etc. Yet I find their 
discussions bringing up the same problems and then being completely void of 
the angles he's brought up, because it's a totally different perspective.

Anyways, Is anyone working on data gathering or visualizations for the bad 
loans issue?

Do share if you know journalists doing more data-driven work.

PS: Yes, I am replying on a very old thread. Wanted to continue the thread 
so people searching for these keywords can find them together.
