China's economy might get more attention, but India's is outpacing its neighbor in economic growth. In fact, India came in as the world's fastest growing large economy during 2018, according to the IMF. India's prime minister faces criticism for a lack of job creation and the workforce remains largely in the informal sector. This year, India is in the midst of an important election. Beyond recent tensions with Pakistan, the economy is a key campaign issue.

Indian voters are deciding on their next prime minister and one key issue that could sway voters is how much Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done with the country's economy.

India's economy is the fastest growing large economy in the world. The United Nations expects India's current population of 1.3 billion to keep growing and surpass China by 2024.

However, the country is facing a few obstacles.

A few years ago, Prime Minister Modi, promised to add 10 million jobs to help boost the economy.

That hasn't really happened. The unemployment rate now sits at a 45-year high. And GDP per capita, which is a measure of wealth across a country, lags behind rivals like China by a wide margin.

Can India keep growing at such a fast pace? And if it does, at what cost?

India needs to focus on Education the most right now... Moral education like Japan

I am Chinese. Although many Western media are leading China-India disputes, I still like India. There are many similarities between our two countries. We should develop together instead of mutual hatred.

Won't say we are developed. Won't say we have reached our goal. Won't say there are no hungry stomachs sleeping in the night. But I would say there are far lesser hungry stomachs now than we had when we began though there are so much of us now.

Wouldn’t it be nice if CNBC would just leave China out of any story that involves India?

When showing New York next time, why not show just South Bronx or Brownsville? Because all you've shown are the poorest sections of Mumbai in this video.

Westerners should stick to making videos on topics they understand, like the Kardashians

*A note to the Western Media: India and China are not rivals!*

I think India will become a strong economy because there was once upon a time when South Korea was one of the poorest nations in the world; now they're at the top. India will be at the top too!

Donot forget P.V. Narasimha Rao. Who brought economic policies in 1991.

These media always compare India with China, and attempt to build rival relation between them. We can be friends, from China.

Stop comparing India with China, India is in a different league, it should be compared with USA.

1991 is the real independence year for India. 1947-1991 was a colossal waste of time due to bad leftist economic policies.

Considering india had no economy and 80% of it's people were under poverty during independence, they have done well.

India is not in the same league as China. But yes, this coming decade, the growth will be in India. China has matured. They will investing big in India.
