Happy being professor, no intention of entering politics: Raghuram Rajan

New Delhi: Ruling out any possibility of entering politics, former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan on Sunday said he is happy being a professor and it's the job he likes.

On being asked if he had an offer from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to join the Rajya Sabha, he said, "No comments on whether I was offered anything. When I was in RBI, people were desperate to get me off to IMF, when I am back as professor, people are desperate to see me elsewhere. I am very happy

being a professor. I have my brain working many hours of day. It is a job I like."

On possibility



to join politics, Rajan said, "The answer is no...on issue of politics my wife says very clearly no."

The AAP had approached Rajan offering him a Rajya Sabha seat from Delhi, which was reportedly rejected by the ex-RBI governor.

In a recorded interview played at the Times Litfest in New Delhi, Rajan, without disclosing much details, said he is working on another book.

This book will be "an attempt to understand better the world we live in. The issue of identity, issue of community and how it impinges on the broader process of economic integration and growth", he said.
