So, why did patriotic NDA appoint this traitor?

In an exchange worth listening to, Arvind Subramanian from the Peterson Institute for International Economics noted that India officials did not agree with the assessment that they were not in compliance with trade standards. Subramanian also was skeptical that certain unilateral sanctions would be effective. Subramanian suggested that if India was not in compliance with WTO TRIPS rules, U.S. trade officials use the dispute resolution procedures within the WTO. (17:15 to 19:13 in the clip above)

Pfizer referred to the WTO dispute resolution option as a blunt instrument with unintended consequences

Is that because he is a Brahmin who fits well into the tradition of brahmin-bania party?

Unlike Rajan, I am not sure if Arvind is even an Indian Citizen. Based on his stay/resume at U of MD and then Columbia there is a very good chance that he is a US Citizen... Of course, one need not be an Indian Citizen to be an economic advisor to the PM of India, but he will be privy to classfied info. So, theoretically there is always the issue of double-play.

I am not too impressed with him and I suspect his selection is mainly due to his familiarity and proximity to Rajan.
