Indian economy to grow by 6.4 per cent in 2015-16:World Bank

[Kinetic]

Ignore Indians as they are an easily jealous lot.

Sri Lanka and BD(to be soon) are the most economically successful countries in the sub-continent,

We both are dominated by one ethnic group and therefore decisions are made more efficiently, than would be the case of being a mish-mash of different nations into a legal entity of a country
.

BD is the least developed country in the region. They are surviving just because of quota export and natural exports.

I'm glad you view India as a mish mash of different nations into a legal entity of a country. I don't know why no Indians would admit to this obvious fact.

 

[liall]

that is only possible with a leader like imran khan,which ofcourse you don't have

I do not think Imran did any good in KPK.

unlike PMLN as KPK development budget is small,he rather has brought educational and health reforms.Which in long term are much better than having metro

Has he brought in any investments? What about manufacturing?

I dont think unless BJP wins more seats in all of INDIA (currently in 9 states BJP won) there will be huge economic change. First factor will be opposition who are bound to oppose every thing BJP will propose, secondly for economic growth INDIA needs to start manufacturing more and more products. If India would have produced weapons, we could have exported it in many countries (vietnam, iran, arabia etc) and the import also would have been less(from russia, france,us etc) 2ndly khadi factories are getting minimized day by day which if could advertised properly would have bought a khadi revolution.

first learn the word difference between tiny and medium size

Dude, you are not really thinking at anything more than a very shallow level.

Good bye.

Indians cannot admit they live in a legal entity and not a nation, that will not exist for any length of time as far was world history goes.

India, like all other muti-ethnic entities, will vanish from the place of the planet in the future.

An equivalent of India is Yugoslavia. India will split up like Yugoslavia

Of Course one cannot Compare a Country Like Sri Lanka to Country like India. One is having population below poverty line than the entire population of African Subcontinent while other country constantly reducing it's poverty to less than 6%, and intend to become an advanced economy by 2030 you think having a larger population give country an edge. lol Sri Lanka have the similar population to countries like Malaysia and Australia. every statistics Sri Lanka far far ahead than any Country in the region. your most wealthiest state could not match to SL


Oh my god, have you gone school buddy. Tamilnadu?? one of the filtiest place to be. do you ever heard GDP Per Capita and GDP, do you know the difference of those two???.. Tamilnadu have population over 70 Million having GDP Per Capita of $1622 and total GDP of $120 Billion. Sri Lanka having 20.4 Million people and having GDP of $77Billion and GDP Per Capita of $3279.

I've been to Sri-Lanka. It's most important contribution to the world is the Snake Dance in Kandy Cultural show...enough said.

Going on with the argument said by few of Indian users here, so it can be say that countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, etc. and all the other countries which have less GDP than India currently and less population than India and yet regarded as advanced/Develop countries by the whole world, will be poor and less develop countries to Indians, because they have less GDP and less population than India?

Well some people even try to bring their states GDP Growth rates while we talking about Country's GDP Growth rate as whole. going by that argument one would say all the 9 provinces of Sri Lanka, where Eastern and Northern Province GDP grew by more than 20% and western province grew by 20% or so and so.

Basic calculation to measure how much country is wealthy is by dividing total GDP of that particular year by the total population of the particular country. with Sri Lanka having just 20.1 Million of Population and currently they posses a GDP which could give $3279 GDP Per Capita, where it put them in the Lower Middle Income Bracket, and intend to become upper middle income country by 2015/2016. while India GDP can give only $1500+. having the second largest population of the world, eventually India is automatically become the huge Market, it's not magic. and GDP nominal figures are not the way to measure how country is performing or what position they are in, whether they are poor, lower middle, upper middle, high income or advanced economy. India can annually achieve or grew their GDP by $300Billion or $400 Billion easily with the huge population India has. that $400Billion increase of GDP would be more than the total GDP of Countries like Malaysia, Singapore etc. so does it mean India is much develop than them? the biggest question in the end of the day is how much that increase of GDP would increase the GDP Per Capita portion.

HDI indexes may vary from state to state or in Sri Lanka scenario province to province. while we talking about at national level it is such a joke to mention states GDP level growth or HDI levels. big or small every country has potential to become wealthy and rich. for example, Singapore, which having 5 million people stuck in to a 716.1 km² land area having GDP worth of total GDP of Pakistan or Bangladesh. Sri Lanka by any mean not tiny, with total land area of 65,610 km² it is a medium size island and with a population of 20.1 Million people similar to population like Australia or Malaysia, it posses a huge potential. with literacy level is at 98% and posses a high HDI level and Sri Lanka has met the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target of halving extreme poverty and is on track to meet most of the other MDGs, outperforming other South Asian countries. Whereas South Asia as a whole is on track or an early achiever for nine of the 22 MDG indicators, Sri Lanka manages this for 15 indicators.
it is not secret Sri Lanka's Economy growing at a rapid pace, than other Subcontinent countries, and it is definitely will reach so called advanced and wealthy category (According estimates by 2035).

the main reason why we lag behind from the rest of the regions in the world is not having mutual understanding and bond to each other. not having a thinking "we should stand together as a region and show the world who we are". that's what South East Asian countries, Asian tiger economies doing and what we are lacking.

Definitely India can become a huge Market to the world. but the problem is high growth rate. while India increasing their GDP on the other hand they are increasing their population as well. While Countries like China, who has the largest population of the yet performing far better than other country which holding record for the 2nd highest population and Market, the difference is commitment and strict policies and Vision which India lacks. so let Mr. Modi to guide your country few years, and we shall see the results

When I go to Chennai from Sri-Perambudur (car factories for Ford and GM), to E-City (multi-billion dollar software export facilities) to Banks (Citibank India HQ).
When I go to SL- Kandy (snake dance, little lake with boat etc.), South SL (Beach, eat Milk Rice etc.). What exactly do you have that makes you think you can compete with us? Even our auto-drivers are better than yours.

And i have been to India.. And Madras.. All i get to see is shit on the road, piss on the road, terribly mutilated people and children that have not been fed for days, Trying to stick in to you like flies, Terrible smells because of all the fecal matter in the air and diarrhea

Lankans eat better, live better, earn better and party better, So what exactly do you think that makes you better than them ? Even their few beggars are far way better off than yours

Lankans will be a tiny fraction of India. When we move, that's epic and we are moving. Good luck with your milk rice, we have bigger things to do.

Don't yap off. I've also been to Colombo, railway station, airport etc. Far worse than anything I've ever seen.

Why are you ashamed of your real flag?

And yeah, rest of lanka is like Mallu rural areas. No great shakes.
