Noted Indian economist Kaushik Basu on Monday served a warning for Indian leaders about the damage the recent spate of lynchings can do to the country's goal of becoming an economic superpower. Speaking to NDTV in an interview, Professor Basu said, "I like to believe that all Indian people, even political and corporate leaders, realise that no matter what happens to growth from these kinds of divisive moves that are taking place within the country, you do damage to the perception of the nation in the eyes of the world and to the nation's moral quality, enthusiasm with which you work and take the country forward."
