  • India Emerging As an Economic Superpower

    India Emerging As an Economic Superpower

    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 5, Ver. IV (May. 2015), PP 45-50 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org India Emerging as an Economic Superpower Himani Assistant Professor In Economics D.A.V. College For Girls, Yamuna Nagar Abstract: With nearly 1.1 billion inhabitants, India is the second largest country on earth in population, and seventh largest in geographical area, over 1.1 million square miles. This is almost 1,000 people for every square mile of area nationwide—much denser than even China. Since achieving independence from British rule in 1947, it has seen its share of conflict, struggle and setbacks. Although India still faces many challenges, it is now poised to reach a higher position on the world scene than at any previous time. The Indian economy has grown an average of around 6% annually over the past decade and 8% per year over the past three years— among the fastest rates in the world. It boasts an emerging middle class and increasing gross domestic product, exports, employment and foreign investment. This is complemented by a roaring stock market (index value up by a third in 2005 and by 200% since 2001), low external debt and large foreign exchange reserves. Recent visits from leaders and officials from the United States, France, Germany and Russia have spotlighted India‟s rise. These wealthier nations see India as a trading partner with enormous potential. Now the question is „Will India Become a Superpower?‟ This paper is an attempt to show that “Whether India is really becoming an economic super power or is it a myth?” I.

Yet surprisingly, there is no consensus on the definition of the term. Different economists have used the term ‗economic growth‘ to convey different meanings. In some cases the concepts differ in essence whereas in others only in emphasis. Some other economists are of the view that the term ‗economic growth‘ is very much obvious and there is no need to frame a precise definition of it.
