Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
India has raced ahead of China as the world's fastest-growing economy, despite a slowdown in the global economy and tough times for most emerging markets. The world's largest democracy recorded economic growth at 7.5 percent in the last quarter of 2015, as it surpassed China's 6.8 percent. While the Chinese juggernaut has still been growing, India’s economic expansion has accelerated. Meanwhile, in the past week, India has unveiled a pro-poor budget seeking to win back support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government by boosting farm growth and appealing to the rural poor. Prableen Bajpai, the founder and CEO of FinFix - a research and analytics firm, joins Counting the Cost to discuss whether India can maintain its growth levels and whether the budget lived up to expectations.

india doesn't benefit much from low oil prices as india is also an exporter of processed oil herself.
When we help the rich, you cry for the poor but why is it when we are helping the poor and then you are crying for the rich.

ये एक बहुत ही नकारात्मक ओर मार्कसवादी विचार वाले ने बनायी डोक्युमेट्री लग रही है जो भारत को ढके छुपी तरह से खराब दिखाना चाहता है।।

India is lucky that its economy isn't the 2nd largest in world. That would make it the enemy of the US. In time after China is taken care of with the use of Japan, India and others, America and its allies will work against India.

To improve growth rate further:1 The inefficient bureaucracy has to be reformed. We have become a big nation of babus.2 No reservation must be given for anymore communities. Upper castes demanding reservation must be shot.3 Labour reforms are very much required. Our labour laws are still stuck in the 50s.4 Nuclear power(electricity) must be pursued in seriousness.5 No time should be wasted in telling people what to eat, what to wear, what language to speak, what religion to follow etc.6 Stop pandering too much to the upper middle class and NRI rabble. That is what brought down Vajpayee.

Hindutva madness will destroy India. The communist government of China may do a lot of things but it is not dedicated to threatening the stability of the nation. India's fascist government is anti-science, anti-Muslim or anything non-Hindu, it kills beef eaters, re-writes history to disparage the Mughals and fake HIndu accomplishments, it upsets both its neighbours and internal minorities. You can't have progress with such madness running your country!
