India had close to 30% of world's GDP in Middle Ages: bjp Union minister Harsh Vardhan

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

India had GDP figures close to 30% in the Middle Ages and the Narendra Modi-led NDA government will take initiatives to achieve the former glory of the country, Union minister Harsh Vardhan said on Friday.

The Union Science and Technology Minister made the statement while he was here on a visit to Dehradun-based Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) campus to review research works of the scientists.

"India was an advanced country in the Middle and Medieval ages, and the present government aims at restoring that golden era. We had GDP figures close to 30% during the middle ages. Our government is taking various initiatives to again achieve the lost heights," he said, referring to the immense prosperity of ancient India.

Gross domestic product (GDP) is one of the primary indicators used to ascertain the health of a country's economy. India began recording its GDP on yearly basis from 1950s and the best figure was 9.6% in 2006.

In 2014, Vardhan had courted controversy by stating on his website that s3x-education in schools should be banned. In his "vision" document for Delhi schools, Vardhan, himself a doctor, said, "So-called 's3x education' (should) to be banned."

Later, he had clarified that the view expressed on the website was entirely his own and made in the context of the UPA government’s 2007 decision to introduce the Adolescence Education Programme (AEP) in its original form.

It might be the first time a bjp Mp got a historical fact right.

This is wrong, it was the GDP of the sub-continent, there was no way that all those tribes were ruled by one ruler.

It was GDP of whole subcontinent.

Anyway, it was easy to achieve in middle-ages as agriculture was the dominant economic sector
and South Asia is a very fertile area of the world.

Poor Indians living in the past. China always been more powerful.

Indian golden age was under British Rule. Even today they are your Sahibs.

India = peasant country of the world.

It was sub continent. Agreed. And Bangladesh too had their share in that GDP. What share? It's debatable. But I assume not very substantial as there was no renowned prosperous separate kingdom in today's Bangladesh.

But we can exclude Pakistan as they weren't part of subcontinent but part of Persian empire.

Poor guys like you are far away from researched facts. So we can ignore you.

India's Golden Age was under the Mughal rule, they became a vassal state under the British.

Not entirely so but true. Remember this, the industrialization of Britain occurred during the de-industrialization of India. India use to produce cloth, which the British destroyed in India to take to Britian and using Indian cotton resold again. Indians where then forced to grow cash crops, ie Opium to sell to Chinese. Remember, that rail roads in South Asia today exist to export crops at favourable rates, ie below market price to the empire. Its a difficult question, could Britannia have been great and won 2 great world wars with out its crown jewel in the empire? I think with out India, Britian today would look very different.

WTF is wrong with you? Do you understand the concept of a pre-industrial world? And for the record no. China was for the most part an isolated civilization. As such it had certian symptoms of a isolated civilization. India was a center for global commerce from the far east to Arabia giving it an importance it still has today. Call it the gift of strategic placement.
