thanks for proving my point. the worldbank should have the most accurate data, wouldnt you agree little boy?

I'm requesting that you be banned.

as for that link, I suggest you read why those numbers are so low. There are different ways to measure GDP. Your google.com search copy and paste doesn't cut it.

hahaha. little boy is requesting i be banned. hahaha.

you proved my own point with your very link. i didnt even need to google anything. you quoted the numbers from World Bank itself. thats far a better source of information than freaking "Wallstreetreview.com" or "indexmundi.com". hahahah.

Im not here to compete with you. I could careless what you think. Your beliefs are far beyong what anyone on this board believes in. I ask what are the differences in your beliefs and that of a terrorist? Answer me that very question. You make Muslim threads to preach Islam and then you say Jews and Muslims are friends. Yet in PM you call my mother a whore for not wearing a thingy on her head and then you like to call me names because you thought I was a Jew.

I said there are different ways to measure GDP. If you want to think you are right believe what you want I could careless. Why don't you read how the World Bank got those numbers instead of getting overly excited?

YES you need to be banned.

lol, what a way to reply when confronted by relevant info, go completely off track and bring religion into a thread about India. hahahah. what a LOSER!

The World Bank presents more accurate info than your freaking "WallStreetReview.com", or "IndexMundi". And your own World Bank link gives credence to my suggestion that India is the World's 12th or 13th largest economy. If you believe that India has a better economy than France, Germany, UK, Japan and China, you're a bigger idiot than I had imagined. And I'm not even mentioning Italy, South Korea, Spain and Canada.

You can keep requesting little boy. Request all you want

What about the CIA link that Mansnake posted above....

1 World $ 51,480,000,000,000 2004 est.
2 European Union $ 11,050,000,000,000 2004 est.
3 United States $ 10,990,000,000,000 2004 est.
4 China $ 6,449,000,000,000 2004 est.
5 Japan $ 3,582,000,000,000 2004 est.
6 India $ 3,033,000,000,000 2004 est.
7 Germany $ 2,271,000,000,000 2004 est.
8 United Kingdom $ 1,666,000,000,000 2004 est.
9 France $ 1,661,000,000,000 2004 est.
10 Italy $ 1,550,000,000,000 2004 est.

Why such a difference in numbers?

I guess I shouldn't give the CIA any credit after the intelligence that came out of Iraq!

well, you can decide for yourself, if you think India's economy is 1/3rd the size of the US, and if China's economy is more than half the side of the US, with a GDP growth > 5%, we're in major trouble

They are riding the technology wave because of cheap labor. The IT industry is fueling the growth but when other developing countries adapt and offer cheap skilled labor, India's IT bubble will burst. The problem is they are emulating the worst of western culture and values. The decentralization of the Indian family due to migration to hightech urban areas and the gap between the classes and caste (to some degree) is hurting traditonal values. There is a lack of foresight when it comes to handling this new found wealth and the strapings that come with it (comfort, convinience, pace of life).

Indians just see the wealth and glamour of western nations but do not see the hard work and practicality that westerners have to deal with on a daily basis. Indians are foolishly wasting their newfound wealth on eccesses of westernization

India does not have the social or economic balance to sustain growth and surely can not control its birth rate. India's GDP would be higher if its population was 30% lower.

Although the middleclass is growing and the neo-rich (IT, multinational) are getting richer, but the poor and the old rich are worst off.

before you spew more nonsense, India's birth rate is much lower than some of the other developing nations. India also has the worlds biggest middle class. I dont know where your getting your misguided info but its totally false

The birth rate is not comparative to population of other countries but rather the division of resources ie land, industry and economy. I don't give a rats arse about canada or iran or china population.

It adds almost 25 million people a year, population = to canada or australia. The *new* middle class is dependent on multinational corporation that may move out to other cheap labor countries. The industrial infrastructure is built to serve these MNC and not the common indian who has to scrap by to barely make ends meet.

Here's a kicker: I AM AN INDIAN born American.

A country that cannot feed, clothe or shelter its general population cannot grow.

Why do you defend India so much? Are you Indian? I think for someone to defend it as much as you then you should at least be Indian to know what goes on over there.

why do we still see beggars and malnourished families all over india? The only people it feeds are the corrupt politicians and those who look the other way so they can also have piece of the meal ticket.

They export it to other countries because they can get $$$ rather than helping their own starving countrymen. We are the consumers that buy this exported food.

Twenty years ago there were ration cards and atleast majority of the people would get half's day meal.

there are beggers in every country, in India there may be more than lets say .... America. You cannot deny the fact that India has substantially improved over the last 20 years. millions of poor are being lifted out of poverty each year.

India used to be extremely poor, now its just poor. It cannot become rich overnight. Its gonna take another decade or so.

Yeah, but since when is a dictatorship stable. It seems to me that sooner or later China will have a revolution, successful or not who knows. But the younger generation is very unsettled. And this whole Taiwan thing is a mess.

I think India, if they play their cards right with investments, can be equal to or surpass China. Just my crazy opinion.

STOP QUOTING EVERYONE AND STAY ON TOPIC!!!!

Looking at China's history the only times of unrest were when ancient China was not united and also when both Republic and Democratic style governments took over only to fall or be over thrown. China is a nation that thrives and desires a strong authoritative central government. History has proven this to be true.

Oh no, they want to have STUFF! Those jerks! Western Culture is ruining those people and showing them that, in the words of Tom Petty, "You don't have to live like a refugee."

Also, regarding your observation about their birthrate, you might take a look at the US census at the dawn of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries: When nations industrialize, specialize and move away from "traditional" values, they tend to have FEWER children.

Talk about overdramatization. How about this: The world doesn't see it because get this: The rest of the world is far away from India, and jsut like India's people, the rest of the world's people have THEIR OWN LIVES to worry about.
