Was India Backward Since Aeons ??
by TheOneAndOnly on Jul 18, 2008 09:50 PM



There is a Myth that India has been Backward Since Aeons.

The Fact is India's Economy was 25.5% of WorldGDP in 1875. By 1890s, We have Apolitical People like Vivekananda speaking about Abject Poverty across India. Our GDP was less than 1% of World GDP. And Recall, the European Economies started growing only since 1860s.

Understand USA's GDP today is 25% of WorldGDP. Given this, Imagine what was the State of India in 1875 - as good as USA today.

It took just 15 years to crumble down to a Backwardness That Makes us feel as if Indians were Backward and Poor since Aeons.

Let the US Economy Go Down. And That will create a Lot of Job Opportunities in India itself.
Reject the N Deal.
