India is below per capita GDP terms than many African countries and talking of Pakistan, we aren't doing much better than them despite this supposedly being the worst economic period of their existence and this being our best. Our GDP per capita is barely twice that of Pakistan, now compare that to China which is 5 times more than ours. Even Bangladeshis next door who were less than half our GDP per capita like 10 years ago are now equal to us, so we don't really have much to gloat about. As for the topic itself, comparing India to Japan is a joke, one is a manufacturing superpower, one of the cleanest countries in the world that fell into decay because they decided to have less kids and one is a country that lacks toilet ranks 100 on hunger index and is rated one of the filthiest countries in the world.
sir, first we have list of GDP on PPP as below, here India is listed at no 3, with GDP above $16.0tn+
List of countries by GDP (PPP) - Wikipedia
here, how many African-Asian countries are above India? note down, GDP of developing countries have a large share of 'undocumented' part of GDP. the ratio of GDP we dont document
with reference of post#104, we find Indian Middle Class at 31% at present, which is projected to grow to 38% by 2031..........
=> we were discussing, at least since 70s to early 90s, Per Capita Income of Pakistan was higher than India and the India's per capita income was higher than China till early 90s....
dont think China is far away during this little time since early 90s, while Japan? such a heavily indebted economy. I would Choose Indian economy as compared to Japan's with what they are at present
