...........We have to realise that inflation is a baby of multiple factors such as: GDP growth, excess money supply, short supply of goods in the market, manipulation in the market, misconceived expectations, exchange rate movement, depreciation of the Indian currency due to large current account deficit, cost-push factor, rise in per capita income and increase in demand due to shifting of population to higher income bracket, and decline in poverty ratio.The Reserve Bank does not have multiple instruments to control all these variables. It is the government which has to grapple with the complexities of inflation, rather than hold the Reserve Bank responsible for the rise in inflation rate.
