Shashi Tharoor offers an explanation on Trump's ‘dead economy' remark
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has said that former US President Donald Trump's description of India as a 'dead economy' was intended as an 'insult' and should not be interpreted 'literally'. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor at Parliament premises during the ongoing monsoon session, in New Delhi.(ANI) Speaking in Pune on Sunday during a conversation with Crossword CEO Aakash Gupta, Tharoor said India must remain clear-eyed about its national interests, especially at a time when global powers are contributing to instability rather than order. The senior Congress leader addressed a range of subjects during the discussion, including his latest book, The Living Constitution. Trump had last week referred to India as a 'dead economy', hours after announcing a 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports and hinting at additional penalties for India's continued purchase of Russian crude oil and military equipment. Tharoor said such comments come amid an increasingly volatile and unpredictable global landscape, especially with Trump in a position of power. "On Trump, let me say, you can't take him literally, but you do need to take him seriously. He is the President of the US, and the decisions he makes can affect policies, and policies can affect us. So take him seriously, but don't take him literally, not every word. When he says your economy is dead, it's like a schoolboy in the playground saying your mother is ugly. You are not supposed to take that seriously. It is meant to be an insult, not meant to be taken literally," he said. Tharoor noted that the global impact of Trump's tariff policies over the past six months has been significant, and India, too, has felt the effects in recent days. "We are going to have to recover because the American relationship, and I don't just mean the trade relationship, the strategic partnership, is important enough for us to want to make the real effort to make this work. So I think there is a lot that needs to be done," he said. He also questioned the credibility of international institutions like the UN and its Security Council, given the active role major powers are playing in ongoing conflicts. "...the wars are being conducted with the active involvement of some of the biggest powers in the world. And that, again, means that the people who are supposed to be upholding world order are contributing to promoting disorder. In the midst of all this, what does India do to navigate its position? Well, first of all, of course, we have to be very clear in our minds what our national interests are," Tharoor said. He stressed that India's top priority should be the well-being of its people. "And that means focusing on our development, on our prosperity, on our harmony, on our coexistence with each other, and on the safety and security of our borders as well, which have recently been threatened both from the Chinese side and the Pakistani side. And we have to be prepared to be robustly able to defend ourselves without jeopardising the larger story of our development and our growth," he said. On the global stage, Tharoor said India must assert itself as a key player. "We have to be amongst the rule makers and not just the rule takers. We have to be a significant player so that we are not in a position where others can dictate to us or push us around. Our credibility matters. We are already the most populous country in the world. We are already amongst the largest economies in the world and will soon be the third largest. In all these circumstances, we do matter. We have to be counted. But at the same time, we have to be sure what we want to be counted for," he asserted. He expressed confidence that India, with a clear understanding of its priorities and interests, will be able to navigate today's uncertainty with competence. Asked about the delegation he led to the United States to explain Operation Sindoor and his meeting with US Vice President JD Vance, Tharoor said, "We had extremely good and effective meetings as not only was our message well received, but it was almost repeated back to us with sympathy, understanding, and respect." "I had a very limited mandate. We were just there to explain Operation Sindoor, why we did what we did, what the thing was all about and what it was not all about, and the fact that we had to convey to the outside world that if terrorists strike us again, we will have to strike back again, so they better be prepared for that. And those messages were very clearly respected, understood, and applauded," he added.

India's Top 1% Hold 60% of Assets; Wealthiest Indians Prefer Gold And Real Estate: Bernstein
Just $2.7 trillion out of the $11.6 trillion wealth held by India's richest is parked in actively manageable financial instruments, such as MF, equities, insurance, as per report. A vast majority of India's richest citizens continue to concentrate their wealth in physical assets such as real estate and gold, according to the latest report by global investment research firm Bernstein, as cited by news agency ANI. The report sheds light on the composition of wealth among what it calls the 'Uber Rich', a group that includes Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNI), High Net Worth Individuals (HNI), and the Affluent class. Despite representing only 1 per cent of Indian households, these high-income groups control nearly 60 per cent of the country's total assets and 70 per cent of all financial assets. This elite segment holds a combined wealth of $11.6 trillion out of India's total estimated household wealth of $19.6 trillion. The Bernstein report notes that just $2.7 trillion of the wealth held by India's richest is parked in actively manageable financial instruments, such as mutual funds, equities, insurance, and deposits. This subset, referred to as the Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM), is what wealth managers typically cater to. The remaining $8.9 trillion is tied up in non-serviceable assets, including physical real estate, gold, unlisted promoter equity, and cash holdings. This lopsided asset distribution underscores the limited penetration of structured wealth management services in the country. The findings suggest a massive untapped opportunity for wealth managers and investment advisors in India, especially as the affluent class begins to look beyond traditional investments. Bernstein observes that a significant portion of financial wealth is still unmanaged, even among the richest households. According to the report, The top 1 per cent earns 40 per cent of all income, while the 'Rest of India' holds only a small fraction of both income and assets. This widening gap highlights how wealth inequality in India far outpaces income inequality. The Numbers Behind the Ultra Rich Bernstein estimates that India has around 35,000 UHNI households, each with a net worth exceeding $12 million. On average, these households hold $54 million in assets, of which $24 million are financial. Collectively, the Uber Rich command $4.5 trillion in financial assets, accounting for 70 per cent of the nation's total financial wealth. As India's economy expands and formal financial markets deepen, the potential for unlocking this concentrated, under-managed wealth pool could redefine the future of investment advisory services in the country. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

NRI willing to return to Punjab village after 11 yrs asks, Is ₹1 crore ‘enough'? Internet reacts: ‘Check tax before…'
An NRI sought suggestions online as he expressed his willingness to return to his home country after 11 years with savings of ₹ 1 crore. The user in a Reddit post said that he moved to New Zealand when he was 19 but now wants to return back to India permanently with $200K NZD (or ₹ 1.03 crore) savings. The Non-Resident Indian stated, 'I been living in New zealand since I was 19 and now 30. When I left India (2013) 1 crore seems like a big money. How about these days? Reason I am asking this question because I want to return back to India permanently. Have around $200K NZD in savings, will that be enough to survive in a Punjab village as I own house there.' He further provided information about his wealth status and income flow. "I own 1 Shopify store which generates around 100K NZD per year (so you can call its a remote job/business)," the NRI added. The NRI yearning to return to his native state further noted that he owns US stocks worth about $138K NZD. NRI seeks advice on plans to return to Punjab village with ₹ 1 crore. A varied range of comments poured in saying, 'Depends on your lifestyle.' Another user commended his Shopify store business and said, 'Your sales is impressive.' A third user wrote, 'One crore is not retirement money. But if you plan to invest and generate passive income, it can be doable with a descent lifestyle. If you want to do that, I suggest you first identify what you want to do or where you want to invest. Try and see if it works out or generates enough income. Then decide on switching.' A fourth advice stated, 'As someone who lives splits time between India and NZ, you won't be able to have a NZ like lifestyle if you aren't planning to do any other job. I would say find a remote job with a NZ company and then move. There are plenty.' A fifth comment read, 'I don't know your situation, but if I were you, I wouldn't come back unless necessary. It is a good amount of money, but check the tax situation before you transfer your savings. You won't be able to retire on it but it can comfortably support you if you do something on the side like kheti etc.'
