India’s domestic business has seen high levels of corruption; more commonly the fraudulent behaviours and bribery of government officials and civil servants. This creates an unlevel playing field between domestic business and foreign business. Evidently this seemingly small issue of corruption could potentially tarnish India’s position as favoured destination of foreign investment (Mendiolaza, 2012).
The two authors argue the main issue that India is continuing to face are due to the lack of concern for citizens especially for the poor citizens and women. Dreze and Sen proceed into their work as they continue to portray the way in which the citizens of India were being oppressed by the new economic and political policies. One of the issues Dreze and Sen use as an example of how India rapid economic growth is problematic is the countries lack to foster participation for economic growth. The lack of inclusion in economic growth leads to a wealth disparity between the citizens. The authors continue on depicting several other issues another one being the lack of enhancement to the standard of living despite generating economic growth from the use of public goods. The standards of living are a huge issue with India as it signals there is a large disparity within wealth. Dreze and Sen continue to document the lack of social and living standards especially in the case of education, medical care, and physical services like clean water, electricity, drainage, and sanitation. The authors proceed to make note how without a development of a social structure within India high economic growth can harm the citizens and ultimately neglect civil, political, and social rights. Dreze and Sen then
In 2015 India was ranked among the highest countries globally in consumer confidence, this comes after the International Monetary Fund estimated an economic growth of up to 7% annually for the next decade in India. But this hasn 't always been the case, in fact, it wasn 't so long ago that India was simply another colonized nation around the world, not to mention it 's usually rare to see this kind of economic growth in such a small period of time. The Effects of globalization, with an emphasis on open trade networks, and the Imperial developments of the late 19th century have led to the emergence and rise of India 's market-based economy. This growth has been affected in a very positive way over a span of centuries by a combination of stronger economic developments brought about by a massive increase in the countries labor force and the emphasis on education and self-governance. An exposure to both the Western economic systems during the imperial age until their independence in 1947 and their subsequent involvement in the Asian, Middle Eastern and African trade routes from the late 15th century placed India in an economic equilibrium where they were able to benefit from both worlds and become one of the fastest growing economies.
For a long time, India has been experiencing a huge population growth. In fact, it will pass the population in China. However, the population growth has not matched it overpopulation growth. Despite the large population, India has a huge labor force. The quality of the jobs in India is awful and even though they can use all of their people. They can’t use them well. Because people have low paying jobs. The government doesn’t have enough money to handle the large population. As a result, their infrastructure is poor, which means people can’t go to different places so that people can’t get jobs. The lack of education is also a big issue for the people and the government because the government doesn’t make as much money if people aren’t getting jobs or getting low paid jobs. Many of people living in India is also causing environmental issues it creates health problems. Therefore, India population has the potential to be highly productive, but the huge amount of people in India makes it extremely hard for India to grow and develop.
China and India share many identities. They are two of the oldest civilizations. Both countries have a complicated relationship with the West because of imperialism. Currently, China has the largest population at around 1.4 billion people. India’s population is likely to succeed China in the coming future. The enormous labor force of China and India has allowed them to
The India experience underlines the difficulty in making changes on an adequate scale in a country of great size, population and complexity. But it also shows that the problems of change can only be understood when the beliefs, knowledge and attitude of the people are addressed.
The rapid economic growth trends demonstrated by China and India are currently at the height of debate amongst world leaders and economists. According to “Dancing with Giants: China, India, and the Global Economy”, edited by L. Alan Winters and Shadid Yusuf (2007), these countries are very unique in that their economic patterns of growth continue to increase and sustain momentum over an extended period of time while dealing with growing populations. The fact that these countries have illustrated a sustained pattern of growth means that they are beginning to, or have already shifted the balance of power within the global community; however, many scientists believe that this trend has shown negative side effects within the social and political settings because inequalities within both regions continue to rise. In Dancing with Giants: China, India, and the Global Economy (2007) the author states that, “Chinese and Indian authorities face important challenges in keeping their investment climate favorable, their inequalities levels at intervals that do not undermine growth, and their air and water quality at acceptable levels” (8). In a discussion, I will deconstruct the effects of China and India’s economic growth on social inequalities.
India stands one among the top ten economies of the world. It is a trillion-plus economy. People are exited with this fact that the nation is booming in both perspectives of human development as well economically. India is a heterogeneous country that could still hold a stable democracy and set a high economy level and grab a lot of people out of poverty level at the same time, this established a favourable context for opportunity with rapid growth in middle class, an ever increasing youth population and an enormous unmet demand for education.
It is very obvious that if the opportunity to ensure that the ‘Good Governance is the path ahead for India’, may or may not be given to us by our elders, parents, teachers, or siblings, one will really do something for the good governance. Actually, the new comers of governmental body are either not that much perfect in their work or they get the feeling of greediness very soon of making more money, respect and reputation and thus gets corrupt. But, one will really work hard in both these cases by understanding my work properly and that one can easily do by maintaining mainly participation, accountability, responsibility, effectiveness, ensuring a management focus, making primary responsibilities for policy making,efficiency, and follows the rule of law, protocols, which are meant for all. Also one will look or one will assure that the corruption is minimized by getting control into the feeling of greediness and also by not making differences among poor and rich which is again a big and a major problem being faced by every poor family that their work is kept aside and first the work of a millionaire is
A lot of hope reside on the upcoming government. Along with the expectations that Modi will change the landscape of the country, there also lies the obvious advantage of a majority government where the government will tend to less fractious and prone to disharmony thus facilitating quick introduction of reforms. This can be seen in the present context where Modi has announced a myriad number of development schemes to address the critical issues of the country. Some of them that are in the news are Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Make in India, labour reforms are so on. Even though the efforts are commendable, implementing the schemes to have the intended effect will be a big task in itself. We would like to go through some of these schemes to check whether they are holistic enough or address the underlying problems and the potential roadblocks in their effective implementation.
The country of India has been home to some of the brightest and most influential people to ever walk this planet. However, they are still an ever evolving and developing country finding its footing in establishing themselves as a global power as well as developing internally. Many domestic problem exist, having grown and evolved from the foundation of India. Their issues consist of gender inequality, religious intolerance, economics, international relations, as well as corruption. Those are only some of the many problems which they face. As with many developing countries, India has a predominant issue when it comes to poverty. In August of 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first prime minister, wrote the national document, “A Tryst with Destiny”. In the document he states, “The future beckons to us. Whither do we go and what shall be our endeavor?...to fight and end poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity...which will ensure justice and fullness of life to every man and woman.” To put the idea in perspective, it was written sixty-eight years ago at a transitional point in the countries history when they were granted freedom and independence from the oppressive rule of Great Britain. In this address, Nehru set forth his rule with many lofty goals that have yet to come to fruition. While it can’t have been expected that all these goal would be fulfilled, Nehru showed the country where they need to go in order to prosper into a great nation. This was
China and India play a crucial role in the world economy, molding and shaping the global markets, despite the differences in the methods of attaining such global prominence. These differences may appear to set the two countries apart completely, but China and India share a number of similarities. Despite having semblable population curves and similar domestic issues, India has been unable to match China’s economic success because of its limited production and distribution capabilities, but its steady investment in its economy appears to give India the advantage for being a superpower in the future.
BRICS is an emerging geopolitical acronym that has influenced the international system one way or another. BRICS stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. They share a common political objective which is state sovereignty while increasing economic and social independence as well as interdependence. India is one of countries in the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) group which have been recognized for its phenomenal economic growth because of globalization and this has moved the country from being considered a poor nation to being a rising middle class country (Rao, 2004). India is a good example of a country that have benefitted from globalization in some respects. It sustained a high and accelerated growth rate over the past 25 years making it the fourth largest economy in the world next to China. The Indian economy has done very well in terms of the growth of the GDP “(about 6 per cent per year in the real terms in the 1990s, rising to more than 7 per cent in the last decade” (Jean, Dreze & Amartya Sen, 2013). To understand India’s development, it is necessary to understand its demography, its structure and characteristics. It is not only the largest democracy in the world, but it also the second largest country in the world because of its population (Raj, 2004, p.401). As of 2014, it has a population of about 1,236,344,631, it rose by 1.25 per cent over the last years (Europa World Online, 2015). In terms of natural
Before we begin, it is important to understand the cultural, social and economic background of our nation. India is a country with great diversity of race, religion, creed, etc.India being a state with huge cultural diversity it has been very difficult for the country to progress economically and socially in a common forefront, as the views, ideals and status of various sections of the society often don’t converge to a common viewpoint. So on these grounds there have been many debates over the past few decades without any satisfactory conclusion, and we are still searching for an apt answer. Some may argue that for achieving the essential goal of national economic development, India can overlook certain sections of the society and
After years of neglect, public health in India is witnessing some changes in terms of greater financial commitment from the government for public and primary health care, pressure to meet the Millennium Development Goals, and implementation of national level programs such as Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) and National Rural Healt Mission, but the effectiveness and outcomes of such changes needs to be analysed.
