Abstract

Since ancient times, India has been a premiere country in terms of culture and economy. In 17th century, India was the world’s richest country. In 1700, it had 22.6% share in the world income which was slightly lesser than the entire Europe combined.1 It was India’s wealth which invited European countries to colonise and exploit and worsen it. Continued exploitation of India and drainage of wealth to Europe decreased India’s share in world income to a meagre of 3.8% in 1952.2 After independence, India gradually began to recover and it is one of the fastest growing economies of the world. Today, it is considered to be one of the possible emerging superpowers in the world3 and it is the world’s fastest growing economy.4 Factors in India’s favour and against shall be discussed in this essay along with certain suggestions from the author.
