Year 2023 in India: A Year of Triumph

The year 2023 marked a period of significant accomplishments for India. Despite ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, India emerged triumphant at the G-20 summit, hosting seven world leaders. Despite a challenging business climate, the country achieved a remarkable 7.5% economic growth, pushing its GDP to $4 trillion. Robust economic indicators included $110 billion in remittances and $80 billion in foreign direct investment, contributing to a promising economic future. India's foreign reserves of $600 billion ranked fourth globally.

Domestically, political dynamics shifted towards the center-right BJP party, securing victories in three state elections and solidifying its popularity. The revocation of Article 370 integrated Kashmir with the rest of India, and the decline of Naxalite terrorism in the mid-eastern states signaled progress. Despite efforts by Pakistan, terrorism in Kashmir remained under control.

Socially, India achieved notable milestones, with an improving literacy rate and highly educated individuals sought after by advanced countries. Strides were made in healthcare, exemplified by India's successful control of the deadly Covid virus. The nation developed its own vaccine, boasting 90% effectiveness, and supplied it to countries facing economic constraints.

India's leadership role in the G-20 provided a platform to showcase its economic achievements, with even President Biden expressing satisfaction during his visit. Amidst these developments, India emerged as a potential mediator for the Ukrainian and Israel-Hamas conflicts, poised to take a leading role in future negotiations.

However, there were challenges, including accusations by the US and Canada of India plotting a terrorist assassination. No evidence supporting these claims has surfaced, and it is crucial to note that the accused individuals were designated India’s terrorists supported by their host countries.

India's enhanced military capabilities over the past five years ensured its security, deterring potential adversaries. The country's growing naval power in the Indian Ocean secured commercial sea traffic, demonstrated by the deployment of five modern destroyers by India to the Red Sea region.

In contrast to China, India's success as a multi-party democracy stands as a model for other nations. Despite critics, India continues to prove that democracy can flourish without resorting to dictatorship or military rule.

A testament to India's global influence was the successful rescue of Sri Lanka from its economic troubles, serving as a cautionary tale against falling into a debt trap. India's advice to other nations emphasized the importance of fiscal responsibility in avoiding economic challenges.

In short, India is doing well and that effort continues to become a $10 trillion economy in next 5/6 years.

In Mumbai, for every car on the road, there will be a few off the road, where the owner prefers to use public transport because of the congestion. These cars come on the road when you build better roads. So the decongestion is temporary. You end up with some amount of decongestion, but not as good as predicted.

Walmart Shifts to India, Cuts China Imports

Walmart is looking to cut costs and expand its supply chain by importing more goods to the United States from India. It is seeking to reduce its dependence on China for goods.

learningenglish.voanews.com

Walmart, the world’s largest store, is importing more goods to the United States from India and reducing its dependence on China.


Between January and August this year, Walmart shipped 25 percent of its U.S. imports from India. That compares to just 2 percent in 2018. Import Yeti, a data company, shared the information with Reuters.


The same data shows that only 60 percent of Walmart’s imports came from China during the same period, down from 80 percent in 2018. China is still Walmart’s biggest country for importing goods.


The shift shows how the rising cost of importing from China and increased tension between China and the U.S. are leading American companies to import from other countries. Those countries include India, Thailand, and Vietnam.

India's stock market is reaping the benefits as investors divert billions of dollars away from China, amid its slowing economy, towards the South Asian giant. Meanwhile, India's economic growth, large population, and policy reforms are all factors that are driving cash into its equity markets, according to market analysts. Potential risks still remain, however, including the outcome of India’s general election this year and the broader geopolitical landscape. CNA’s Rebecca Bundhun reports.

But sir we have nuclear bomba and tea was fantastic pakistanis are gonna have to cry a lot when 10 or more indian States will have larger economy than them in 10 years.

Pakistanis themselves have stopped measuring their GDP since 2022 i believe. Alas they are in such a dire situation that they dont even publish their figures of poverty, child mortality and other social metrics since 2019.Indian media being indian media just wants to rub this in their minds.
