This amazing chart shows that in continuation of large part of the history of civilization India was the largest economy in the planet. ( @Rishi @ @sanjay @Suhail @Vegeta San ). Starting 1000 BC (here not shown) to until 1000 AC India consist to around 40% of world economy. The decline started with the beginning of Muslim invasions in 11th century when India consisted still robust 1/3 of global GDP, exactly during the glorious Mughal era. Sharp decline of India's share started with the British rule when it fell to only ar. 10%. Amazingly after Indipendance India's share of world economy continue to fall and reach a all time low in the 70's of the 20th century, a miserable 5-6% of the global GDP. India - a country which since a times immemorial always has been symbol of unspeakable richness and unimaginable treasures among other nations become a symbol of poverty, misery and famine. But know with the beginning of 21th century we see that slowly step by step it start to recover. The opposite process has started.
In the contradiction of theoritics of so called "family planning" insisting that modern India has too big population and it has to be limited actually the truth is exactly opposite - current share of global population of India is only 16-17%, while in the glorious times of Ashoka almost 4 of 10 people in the world inhabited India and Muglal India consisted 29% of world population. Even if we take into account the neigbouring countries of subcontinent, it consist "only" of 21-22% of world population.
Economy of China according o the chart become equal to India's economy ar. 1500 AC, while the highest point of US economy was the years after WWII - roughly 40% of global GDP. Reply
