If growth means everything to you sure. There are plenty of other parameters in my book.
Because the important thing is why the growth was slipping into a rut given the level of per capita income. The answer: fiscal situation, investment (both private and public), massive inefficient govt spending and lack of reforms. This is what the Modi govt has been focusing on, along with improving the long term prospects (by especially focusing on skilling and training programs for the youth...and improving the PDS system, banking for the poor and access to microcredit for rural entrepreneurs).
We can judge overall performance/impact of Modi govt not this year....but maybe the next and onwards when more time has been given for the reforms (and GST) to have their impact and take growth to more than 8 or 9 %....and even double digits.
Changing growth from 3.6% to 4.2% is very different from getting growth from 6.9% to 7.5%. Pakistan should really be having a much easier job in increasing its growth rate to 6% and more (like say Bangladesh is doing)....but IMF is still predicting barely a 5% long term growth rate...but close to 8% for India.
I don't see Pakistan economy being well managed and improved with the gusto that we are seeing in India...but hopefully maybe it will be so in the future. A lot depends on CPEC success....which looks like a coin flip to me.
