The core issue is that we have failed to create a swadeshi model of our economy which  the RSS has been advocating. There is a distinct section of economists which has been a votary of developing an Indian model of economic development and growth. But what successive governments have been doing is trying to find western solutions for India's economic problems. This has been hurting the Indian economy  and this has opened us to all the vulnerabilities of the global economy, or so it seems.

It is time to look at developing an economy which is not driven by the western paradigm of 'consumption'-driven models. It is time to develop a model which moves the Indian economy away from 'consumption' and towards a more sustainable development pattern. Also, while the Indian economy may remain integrated with the global economy, it needs to retain its resilience. The NDA government though has given indications by cracking down on foreign consultants in the government and replacing economists with a strong western bent of mind with those whose thought process is more rooted in an Indian ecosystem but, alas, failed to deliver because there is no Indian model to show the world.
