Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India’s economy will be among the top three in the world within five years, as he marked 76 years of independence from British rule on Tuesday.
Just because a country’s economy is big doesn’t mean it’s a great place to live in.
That’s a weird statement in this context, considering India is fighting extreme poverty. Obviously a country with less poverty is preferable.
They have to beat the UK, Japan, and Germany.
None are economies on the rise (and the UK is doing poorly, they might already have surpassed them).
Wouldn’t be surprised if it eventually happens, but beating all 3 in five years might be a stretch.
EDIT: this is nominal GDP. They will definitely not reach the same GDP per capita anytime soon.
It will take generations to reach the same GDP per capita.
it will take a global revolution for that to occur. the current financial system intentionally keeps india similar countries in relative poverty
“We must go forward, not backward. Upward, not forward. And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!”
Aaaaaaahahahahaha sure
He may be right, but that doesn’t mean he’s not an asshole.
If you believe that then I have a bridge to sell to you.
And he’ll kill as many Muslims as it takes to get there!
