Interesting reading and crystal-clear analysis region wise and shift of affiliation defying the usual cast-based speculation. Looks like people desired a change especial Mumbai Karnataka and Central Karnataka. Coastal belt has a different mindset. There is a worry religion sentiment may have overruled development. It was a certain loss to Mangalore and Kaup considering efficient candidates failed in the votes. General opinion we get to see is rampant corruption was cause for failure of ruling regime. True, Lesson taught by voter is they like cordial social living. Evident is Modi magic is losing sheen. And point to be noted is King Maker is losing the base! Auther has shed light into percolation of their vote share. Great article on current event. Thanks to Philip for cumulatively connecting the facts just like a fish bone diagram leading to failure.

Very well written article with graphs and figures. Philip is maintaining his unbiased presentation sticking to facts and is right in his analysis. In coastal area, anti incumbency hawa was evident till election was announced. INC grassroots organizations are weak and so failed to cash in.

Very well written article presented with graphs and figures and is persuasive. He is right in saying polarization doesn t work every time everywhere. In the coastal area, INC grassroots organization is weak and so failed to cash in on the anti incumbency hawa which was prevalent till election was announced. Good analytical article.

As you mentioned in the article about the ineffectiveness of religious polarization in south india..I have a different opinion...in some pocket like udupi and coastal karnataka(Actually start from kassarkodu kerala to kongan belt)It is considered as the laboratory of hard core hindutva agenda like gujrat...to.some extend it is working out...they created party villages where others cant survive...the contradictory factor is that it s also happening in kerala and karnataka

It is a very well narrated micro analysis of Karnataka post election political situation.
Yes, Modi can be defeated, the election results showed it.
There are lots of butter in the state revenue , so the corruptions. I am not very optimistic on this government completing the full term smoothly.

Congress won the previous election too in Karnataka. Yet, BJP ruled the state. People, jokingly, says that eventually the same will happen this time also.
However, this victory is undoubtedly a morale booster for Congress. Hope the party builds up confidence in the general public to vote for Congress in the 2024 parliament elections. Caution, any setbacks in Karnataka definitely will jeopardise their attempts to come back in power at centre.
Thank you for this Very good article, Philip Saab….

I m glad you were able to see that movie at the theater. I don t think that I will be able to watch it on a big screen here. Unlike west Bengal, Kerala has not prohibited screening of this film in the State. But there is a virtual ban here.
This is a much talked about film and hotly debated all around.
The question before us is: where do we stand.
There are mainly three different viewpoints about this film.
One is against this film and does not want people to see it.
Second one is in support of the film.
Third is one who has a difference of opinion about its content, its title and so on, but carry an open mind in watching this movie.
Is it a propaganda film. I would say-yes
Is it fictitious - no, it is based on some real story.
Does it tarnish the state. Yes, I do feel perturbed.
Is it against any community- I do not know.
If i say that Bjp will keep power in Karnataka, i will make more enemies.
So let me leave the story here.

Thank you Philip Saab for stating a clear picture of Karnataka election, it’s past and present.
In brief, being the purely optimistic and positive thinking people wish to have a government protecting its people from corruption, communal divisions and respecting the faith of all. Let us hope and pray

Just wait two days ☺️.

Good analysis. Last time MLA s were bought...that is no secret. People are looking for a change this time. looks last two days prior to election situation might have changed...no prize for guessing. Moreover PM camped to convince or hide corruption issues. He never addressed burning issues like corruption and unemployment. Most people know tax payers money is not used wisely!

In first place I wonder how come the author, who normally is not a regular movie watcher, showed keen interest in watching movie.

After all “the Kerala story “ is only a movie, right? I will not fall to the media propaganda. My time, energy and money is precious to me.

I didn’t read the article in full. The story telling part was omitted lacking patience

Rest in Peace Mai.
You will always be loved and missed

Nice article, as usual. Informative….and another Modi friendly article from the author.

Since We don’t have any control over the population rise, it is rather a kind of looking at the prosperous side of the issue by the government. It makes the mass, like me, happy.
More the huge infrastructure works, more the job opportunities.
More the money spent on projects, more the money distribution to the general public.
And money transfer to the general public, to the rural to be precise, are now happening digital. One rupee dispatched from Delhi is intact when it reached to a farmer or a startup guy.
That is why, uneducated people like me are happy about the government functioning these days, for whatever reasons

As usual Philip Saab given a clear picture of present India with the achievement of most populous country, it’s positive and unpleasant views, present gaps between haves and have nots.
Let us hope and pray for realities for a better and prosperous India

Philip analises current indian economy with his scientific root.

Congratulation Headmistress Sr. Dr. Vinisha Lobo, St Gerosa High School, Jeppu on being conferred with doctorate. Wish you all the best with good health and peace always as you head SGHS as well as in your future in your congregation. Glad to know the news since I have also been a student of SGHS.

As Philip Saab opined, SC’s verdict to appoint five judges panel to appoint EC chief is an applaudable stand.
This will create a positive feeling in the minds of general public.
Thank you Philip Saab for your in-depth article

Let us hope that situation may improve.
But I am sure Modi will see that the good intention of supreme court is somehow bypassed.

Congratulations Prithish on being elected as Vice President of PPC, wish you the best.

Another brilliant summary on our budget in a nutshell. I am noticing a change in Author’s attitude since last year’s budget briefing as being soft.
In a s sense, it is advantageous in general that same front remains in power continuously for two or three tenure so that their long term financial policies are implemented rightly in place. Changing government every five years destabilise the objectives of the previous government and at the end we are again at the starting point.

Thank you, Philip for the compiled current events. True El-Sisi is considered one among the moderate leaders. Egypt has a long history of ups and downs from the time of mighty Ferao s.
Many may see some link between the lines of Survival of the richest and Mr A, it s all about middle class taxpayers sweat!!

As usual, Philip Saab clearly elucidated the budget outlays, merits, pros and cons, especially the impact in general.
Thank you for sharing

I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN KANNADA SAMAJ

That is lots of information and knowledge….!
Took some time to roundup the article but worth, yes a worthy read it was. I admire you for the amount of efforts you have dedicated for this work and your in-depth knowledge on the different subjects.
With great regards…

@Marvin Mathais, I will explore the chemical sector in the second week of Feb. Because the next subject is Budget 2023 which the FM unveils on 1 Feb.

Very very good info... Looking for more info on Chemical sector.

Very nice informative article on IT stocks. Thanks Philip

Hi Philip, I think lot of people read your articles and very few may post comments. Your articles are loaded with lot of information backed by facts and figures, truly fountain of knowledge. Thank you for the interesting articles on IT Stocks. True, investor need to monitor financial performance, returns to investors and the kind of investment made on R D. Often we have seen prosperous companies perishing being cash cows and lethargic on research investment. Yes, currently Infosys, L T, Wipro are doing well and we have seen Sathyam losing out. Generally stock returns are way better than fixed deposits..! I do trust Motilal Oswal type of investment brokers where they do all the hard work of investment and minimum risk.

As most of the companies are fully depend upon the offshore market,is it bear a geopolitical risk?Most of the service companies are working in B2B sector,still their operating profit is at higher level.It may be due to their less caped investment

I think this is a really good article. You make this information interesting and engaging. You give readers a lot to think about and I appreciate that kind of writing.

I have not received Akshaya magazine of November month.

Thanks for this. I really like what you ve written here, and I wish you luck with your blog!

They had 2 options..
