Letters: Memorable tenure

With reference to "Au revoir, Mr Rajan" (September 5), it goes without saying that Raghuram Rajan's three-year tenure as the 23rd governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) would go down in independent India's financial history as a "remarkable and memorable" one. He was the brain behind the successful handling of the deceleration of economic growth, double-digit retail inflation and massive volatility in the financial market. The list of his outstanding performances also includes "stabilisation" of the falling rupee, transforming India's banking sector on a "real-time" basis and shoring up our forex reserves, now pegged at $367 billion. Such a situation may be sufficient to meet the maturity repayment demand of the foreign currency deposits from November. The editorial, too, is all praise for him by ranking his politically "diluted" tenure as "path-breaking". It goes on to appreciate him for effectively addressing various long-term and structural deficiencies in India's monetary mana
