Post-independence India has mainly remained a conservative economy that allowed only restricted and conditional entry of the outside world. But now the Indian economists have understood the importance of coming together with the global economy for growth and efficiency. India is a mixed economy where Private and Public Sectors co-exist in leading sectors like Banking, Telecom, Road Transport, Education, Healthcare and Manufacturing, etc. In recent years India has witnessed major economic reforms as there is momentum towards privatization.
We had an opportunity of having Adv. Parvathi Bakshi with us on our podcast show, for an insightful conversation on Privatization is a burning topic at present, all the more because it is like two sides of a coin. India is reforming slowly towards privatization but the previous unfulfillment of expectations from the reforms has reinforced the critics claim. She weighed the pro and cons of the mixed economy on the pedestal of welfare and wholistic development of the nation and helped us understand the way ahead.

Privacy v. Security in the light of New IT Rules.
The world has witnessed the emergence of anti-encryption legislation that is causing concern amongst those who value their privacy and desire uninhibited communication.
The Indian government recently notified new rules on how digital and social media platforms should operate in the country. It has been argued that these rules will harm end to end encryption, substantially increase surveillance, promote automated filtering and prompt a fragmentation of the Internet that would harm users while failing to empower Indians.
In the latest episode of VakilTalks, Adv. Arushi Gupta has helped us understand the new IT rules in the light of the battle between privacy of the citizens v. Security of the state.
