India’s unofficial inflation rate is above 18% per year. Government cleverly computes it to 8%. But things are changing very fast. The country does not have the resource to subsidize a billion people on fuel when oil price is approaching $140 a barrel. A few years back oil was below $40 a barrel.

The wholesale prices index reached 8.24 per cent in the 12 months to May 24 - its highest level since August 2003. In addition it was on track to breach 9 per cent after the government this week increased heavily subsidised fuel prices.

The Sensex is in deep trouble. The exodus of foreign ‘funds’ money can cause a series of minisrashes. Sensex can lose half of its value in less than a year.
