India's Economy is Booming. India is the Fastest Growing Major Economy in the World. India is the Fifth Largest Economy and soon India will be the Third Largest Economy in the World. In this video we will cover India's Economic Journey from 1947 till 2023 and analyze how has India achieved this phenomenal growth. We will also analyze factors that India still lags behind and need to work upon as India plans to become a developed nation by 2047.
India has lifted over 410 million people out of poverty in a span of just 15 years. India's GDP has surged by 9-fold in the past 30 years, a growth rate leaving even the most advanced economies green with envy. India is a demographic force that's set to become the world's largest working-age population by 2027, a potential labor pool that eclipses the combined workforce of the U.S. and Europe.
Chapter 1: India's Past
Soon after its independence in 1947 India decided to implement License Raj. License Raj crippled the private sector of India and also India's economy. India also kept its borders shut to foreign companies for close to 40 close from its independence. India focused on a centralized governance model heavily reliant on State Owned Enterprises. But that model failed, leaving India in a Balance of Payments crisis.
Chapter 2: India's Present
After securing loan from IMF in 1991, India abolished the License Raj and opened its economy to foreign companies. India also travelled leaps and bounds in Agriculture with its Green Revolution and White Revolution. India's Information Technology, IT Sector, became the single most important factor in India's Transformation. India now has a thriving Startups ecosystem, India ranks third in total number of startups. With nearly 65% of the population below the age of 35, India possesses a potent demographic dividend. India's Financial sector has witnessed significant expansion, with a well-regulated banking system and a thriving stock market. But India faces challenges such as Income Inequality, Access to Quality Education, Poor Physical Infrastructure, No New Reforms in Agriculture, Access to Quality healthcare, and Poor Pollution and Environment Management.
Chapter 3: India's Partners and Opponents:
The Indo-US alliance is often termed as the 'defining partnership of the 21st century'. It encompasses defense, trade, technology, and a shared commitment to democratic values. Going forward, it is in India’s favor to further fortify this relationship. However, equally important for India, is its relationship with Russia. A time-tested ally, the Indo-Russian friendship also encompasses multiple sectors such as defense, space exploration, and economic collaboration. China's rapid rise as a global superpower necessitates a delicate balancing act for India, especially in the context of border disputes and economic competition. Then comes India’s proxy wars with its western neighbor. India's relationship with Pakistan remains fraught, with the specter of terrorism perpetually casting a shadow over bilateral ties. The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or the Quad is at the top. Quad brings together India, the US, Japan, and Australia to foster regional stability, economic growth, and democratic values. Then there is G20, India's seat at the G20 table empowers it to shape global economic policies and advocate for reforms that reflect the interests of emerging economies, specially Global South. And then we have BRICS. As a member of BRICS, India participates in a grouping that represents over 40% of the world's population, offering immense economic potential and a platform for South-South cooperation. BRICS also gives a platform for India to have tough but necessary dialogues with China. Let’s also not forget other alliances that have lost their charm in recent years but still attract a lot of political clout. Some of the prominent ones are the United Nations, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, and the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation.
