SS belongs to the clan of the political paparazzi. He's got to be be in the news one way or another or he'll feel his day is wasted.

He is India's Rush Limbaugh and Donald Trump rolled into one.

Yes.. But is he a lone mad tusker out on rampage ? Considering the reactions ( or the lack of it ) from the top levels of the government I have my doubts !

Modi’s chief economic adviser Arvind Subramanian had opposed India on IPR till recently

he man who has been appointed the chief economic adviser to the government of India, Arvind Subramanian, was until recently urging the US to initiate disputes against India before the World Trade Organization.
He also sought changes in provisions within Indian patent law aimed at preventing frivolous patenting and preventing pharmaceutical companies from getting extensions on patents by tweaking existing drugs and passing them off as innovations.
Subramanian was a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and at the Center for Global Development. As recently as March this year, in a written testimony submitted during the process of review by the US of intellectual property (IP) protection of various countries including India, Subramanian wrote, "If India does not address the problems created by Section 3(d) of the patent legislation or by compulsory licensing for nonworking, the United States should consider initiating WTO disputes against India."
He justified this approach on the ground that India took its WTO obligations seriously and had a good track record of implementing WTO dispute settlement rulings. He added that for the US, "the virtue of using WTO dispute settlement was that it would be diplomatically and politically less confrontational than unilateral and bilateral actions".
Subramanian was reiterating a position he had taken in an earlier testimony to the US Congress in March last year.
Every year the US brings out a report, under section 301 of its Trade Act, which categorizes countries according to their level of intellectual property protection. If a country's protection level is deemed inadequate, it is categorized as a priority foreign country (PFC), a situation that could lead to US trade sanctions if not resolved within 6 months.

Not lone for sure but definitely one of the crazy ones out there with nothing to lose. Lots of mahouts in the background gleefully (and stealthily) encouraging this tusker's shenanigans while themselves showing a different face -- or none at all -- in public. That's politics.

But all the background was available to Govt of India before appointing a person.They ought to have considered all this before appointing him in a senior position.

Attack on high functionaries and Govt's silence is sending a wrong message and in future we will have to appoint likes of Pahlaj Nihalani and Chetan Chauhan to senior Govt positions.

If the executive went against the legislative [even in a disguise] then there will be real harakiri in the politics sphere.

For that Executive has to be really strong and not as someone looking for favours from the political bosses .Like higher Judiciary. Can likes of SS dare to talk some rubbish about High Court or Supreme Court judges ?? And the positions which he is attacking are no less positions .
