there's grounds for some optimism in india india has a number of problems that are india structural inflation corruption in the government infrastructure there's a long list of things and they're not related to the us crisis or the european crisis china on the other hand is part of the system in a much deeper way and i would have to say that the reason why china has so much u.s. debt is because it basically has held down the value of its currency and so that it can maintain its export competitiveness and by holding down the currency it has to buy dollars and then those dollars get invested in u.s. treasuries and it creates renminbi at the same time which gets put in the chinese banking system and is inflationary which i would say some inflation numbers came out which are a little higher and it looks like china will have to be tightening and it's a tragedy i want to focus on what's happening in the u.s. we heard president obama yesterday telling the american public that his administration knows what needs to be done to solve the problems he didn't need a ratings agency to tell him wh

do you think that perhaps there could be a shift in the world order and that india could be somehow gaining from what's going on in washington there is certainly a shift going on in the world there's no doubt about that i mean any medium term or long term project suggests that. the pound will go relatively slowly europe may grow a little bit faster than. the us has traditionally been viewed as a very dynamic economy is likely to grow faster than europe but the growth rate in these economies will be much less than the growth rate in the emerging market countries i mean china india brazil so i think over time there is a shift in economic power taking place one is to asia and another way of looking at it is really the rising rate of emerging market countries and i think you're thinking of a world in which there would be a large number of relatively equal economic grouping and you want to global system that can accommodate that if it can't be a global system which is run only by saying well look this is the center of power and everybody else must adjust and it's been said that europe ha

the same thing is going on with india and pakistan. one of the key elements of the conflict with india and pakistan which expresses his terrorism at the bombing in dubai and agencies support for the taliban and afghanistan. part of that is about pakistan using asymmetrical assets to counter india. that is a lot to do with the fact that india sits on the glaciers that are the headwaters of the river basin, from which pakistan gets 90% of the water and is water and is one of the driest countries in the world. as the glaciers melt more rapidly, india is building dams in the political wing of lashkar-e-taiba, which is now let terrorist organization, one of their slogans now is water flows or blood. sort of a related issue. >> hi, thank you for this book. it's excellent. good addition to what we need to hear. my question is, could you talk about the issue of fear versus education. what they mean by that is that we still don't have leadership that educating americans as to what we face into catastrophic climate change, tipping points and so

we always think of india as an economic powerhouse. how much does corruption affect daily business life? >> very much so. i think one of the people in the streets you just said -- in the pc just aired, a lot of what is fueling this outpouring on the streets is that people have basically said that enough is enough. in order to get gas connected and their passports, they don't want to have to pay these bribes for everyday basic needs. >> is this stopping india from being in the global player that it could be? >> i think of businesses over the last bit of liberalization, they have contributed to india's role of being this economic powerhouse, often in spite of the government. businesses have the find ways to get around being able to open and get their own licenses. what you're seeing on the street is the common man reacting. businesses have just been unable to deal with it a little more institutionally. >> in the government is feeling threatened here. suggesting that the protests and what is behind them is almost undemocratic. what more s

as a positive demographic trend high savings in investment rates the medium term growth outlook for india looks robust it's in the eight point two to eight point five percentage range and the strongest indicator for a debt g.d.p. ratio is strong income growth something that the european union doesn't have that's something that bodes well for the indian economy there are other things as well if there is a recession in the world as is being talked about that's going to reduce the price of oil into imports a lot of oil so that's going to reduce its import bill there are other factors if there's an expected depreciation in the value of the dollar in other words of the dollar weakens and if india's rupee therefore strengthens views of you the dollar it's important it will go down as well the risk is somehow whether india can finance its current account deficit because of the general climate of risk aversion in the economies that investors are less willing to invest in emerging markets how does india continue to finance its current account deficit. it's coming up to twenty minutes past the hour

which is india's record high inflation. inflation remains at 9%. that is a huge cause of concern for india and the main reason the rbi raced interest rates. what's happens as a result of raising interest rates, consumption in india has gone down. the one thing that distinguished the economy from a lot of other countries, it's been domestic demand. when you have such high interest rates, demand has gone down and there's no way better -- no other specter that illustrates it better than the auto sector. you and i have talked about this, charles, a number of times the last few months on air. we've talked about india's record auto sales. every month auto sales hit a new record high. this year in july, we've seen auto sales for almost the first time in three years. that gives you a pretty good sense that indian customers are cautious about spending. charles? >> it's fascinating, because it's a challenge for the government. it would dearly like to get on top of the problem of poverty. but it's got a huge problem of debt and deficits which makes it difficu

they arbitrarily divided northern india into india and pakistan and in a matter of weeks you had literally millions of people fleeing in all directions. you had indians trying to rush south into what was going to be india and -- sorry, hindus and sikhs fleeing into what would be india and muslims fleeing north into what would be pakistan and there was mass slaughter, mass chaos. tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, were killed during that chaotic burst which has divided the two countries not only geographically but psychologically and politically ever since. host: what would jinnah think if he came back today, saw the country? guest: i think he would be very discouraged. there has been a long series of really unfortunate political developments in pakistan. it's never really been able to develop strong democratic institutions, strong leadership. it's had a number of civilian leaders either killed or thrown out of office before their time was due. it's had a number of military interventions for various reasons. there have been positive moments. in fact, i describe one scene in the

another day of protests on the streets in india. >> that's right. a man was jailed because he was planning to starve himself to death, to try to force the government to tackle corruption. but news of his arrest brought thousands of people into the streets and a short time ago the police ordered his release but he is refusing to leave prison until he is given permission to continue with his protest. >> this is exactly what the government had feared. an outpouring of public support for india's anticorruption crusader. his supporters do all they can to stop him from being taken away. the early morning arrest was meant to nip his protest before it got out of hand. in fact, it achieved exactly the opposite. this is the scene at the site of what was meant to be his planned protest. as you can see, the police are out in full strength, they've taken up position right around the perimeter of this public park. any protester who gets anywhere close to this area is being detained, herded -- herded onto a police van and taken away. bus load after bus load of sup
