Can they be falsifying the robust growth in air passenger traffic? Are they misleading the data on smartphone and household appliance sales annually? Could they be feigning the significant expansion of their world-class road and railway networks? Are they distorting fuel and electricity consumption numbers? Could they be falsifying the night-time luminosity images provided by NASA? Is it even feasible to manipulate these indicators that reflect India's escalating prosperity?
None of those necessarily improve the living conditions of ordinary Indians most of whom are poor and only getting poorer.
Like for example literacy rates of Indians are claimed to be over 70% which translated to way over 700 million people. These same 700 million plus people have no access to toilets.
Does that make any sense?
Regarding your last line, India's poor are the largest poor in the world and only growing. Are you going to 'compensate' for that by artificially circulating money?
How long will that last? And what if a fluctuation hits that system? It will spell disaster.
Look at Turkey. At first glance I thought they were an example of economic progress seeing their population is much smaller and sustainable.
Their economic growth has brought many of their people jobs, prosperity & technological advancement.
But behind the smoke screen, poverty is not declining in Turkey only worsening but slowly as the population grows.
Much as Turkey's advancing defense industry requires foreign materials & components. Turkey's economy also took a hard hit when COVID first arose.
They don't seem to be aiming for sustainability, only infinite growth which we know is impossible and will inflate depending on the growth.
So, no. I do not believe in 'compensating' for unsustainable growth by circulating money. No thanks.
Gawadar, CEPEC are not the solution to Pakistan's problems. Pakistanis are too delusional in this regard. Sorry.
