fun guy, you are a big time joker. The rate of growth in US in last 200 years is just 1.7%, that is the key. Being free for a long time and able to decide our destiny on our own. You know what happened in 1960, there was a big famine in India. But this time around Indian government airlifted foods. That saved lives. Whereas in all previous famines, Britishers allowed us to die like flies. Indias literacy improved from 6% to 11% from 1900 to 1947 whereas from 1947 to 1994 it improved from 11% to 55%. You are a fool and you do not know how economics works. I agree US has a lot more R&D and they are more prosperous etc. But you forget the importance of time. India is free for 60 years only US is free for 200 years. FREEDOM is of essence.
