The Importance of Averages in Analysis

Average and all averages necessarily conceal far more than what they reveal that's their job in fact the job of an average is to reduce data. The further you are able to look beyond these averages and indices the more robust your analysis will be. And now let's come to the Turkey and India comparison on the one hand in terms of regimes striking similarities we have a very quick probably historically unprecedented swift move from broad base systems of powers such as say a party based system where the party shrinks in importance relative to an individual. We saw an earlier instance of that with Indra Gandhi in the national emergency but what we are seeing now it has happened much quicker and far more effectively than in 1975.
