THAPAR’S COLUMN SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Karan Thapar’s The government didn’t push Rajan out of RBI (Sunday Sentiments, July 16) is perhaps the first time the truth about Raghuram Rajan’s exit from the Reserve bank of India is being discussed in the press. The Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre came under a lot of flak after Rajan stepped down, with some even saying that Rajan was forced to quit so that Urjit Patel could be made governor so that demonetisation could be implemented. Now, Thapar’s column sets the record straight and restores the dignity and independence of the RBI.
