“Index funds are the only rational alternative for almost all mutual fund investors.”

Taxes are a crucially important financial consideration because the earlier realization of capital gains will substantially reduce net returns.”

“India Beyond Saffron
(Sanyasi Scientist Sonnet)
Ananta (Eternity) knows no foreign-sanatan,
either Hindutva or Human -
saffron was never the color of India,
India is the most spectacular rainbow
among the ancient of civilizations.
There is not one but two India,
Animal India and Human India -
Animal India carries Gita like Gun,
Human India celebrates Diwali,
breaks bread on Iftar,
and sings Merry Christmas, with Gurbani.
An Indian is pluralism personified,
take away pluralism, and you're left
with a monkey draped in saffron.”

Their contributions to global GDP have risen in parallel, and fallen in parallel. Today's era once again belongs to Asia. India and China are both growing rapidly, together.
