Bangladesh is a very compact country with high population density.So developmental cost per capita and per unit of area will be less then India.Bangladesh can reap the benefit just like Japan,Korea,Singapore, Taiwan.They are also compact country with high population density.India have too much internal contradiction to successfully compete with the countries like Bangladesh.GDP growth gap is diminishing between two counties and it will eventually cross and accelerate in near future in favour of BD.
India is doing and that really matters.
Almost all Human Development Indicators we're well ahead.
Two points:
1. BD want to progress like Singapore, Japan or Taiwan, take steps like them.
2. India is in no competition with BD.
India will end up as a high income economy by e d of century (higher than BD) but even if we were behind you, your and our paths and goals are different.
You want to take example of a small country? Take Bhutan. They have beaten up India and China.
They too will have per capita income equal to France in 30 years if growth continues by proportion of declining by 2.5% in every decade.
Means 75% higher than India or 140% higher than Bangladesh.
Majorly gap will be diminished by Bangladesh between 2030-40 and 2050-60 because India will be hanging in middle income gap. After that India will grow slower till Bangladesh achieves about it's 66% per capita by end of century (sources: IMF and UN Fertility Variant).
But you guys aren't projected to get equal per capita income for a long time. You can beat up Pakistan though.
Simply, India has today much higher per capita income and India's growth pace isn't enough slow to be overtaken.
If you want to see real internal contradictions, care about old friends pakistanis, they will have even per capita GDP half of Bangladesh very soon if they don't improve anything.
Your point of India's slowdown is baseless.
That
internal contradiction specially.
