a 9.3% growth per annum from a GDP base of 1 trillion dollars is indeed something that would be a novelty in this growth. Many people are skeptic because such a thing has never happened in history.

Many countries grew rapidly from a lower base. And they took 40-50 years to reach where they are. 30 years of 9.5% growth is achievable considering the amount of people we need to pull out of poverty.

u moved frm facts to fancy in two consecutive posts… previous post was more assertive … this post has only wishful thinkin !

i strongly believe key to success lies in two things:

one, putting more bucks in higher education (Phds) and R&D.
As long as US is mecca for higher education offering great quality of life, all India can hope is unfriendly immigration policies of west to lure back the talent for its success !

second, govn should get rid of all the sick public companies n stop intervening wid free market to let entrepreneurship rule !!!
