The author seems much more scholarly and researched and believable than your rambling post without a shred of evidence.

Correct you are. India has NEVER invaded or bombed another country in it’s 5000 year history. Which simply means it is not an aggressive power. Now with its 7+% annual growth rate of GDP, it does have the capability to defend itself without needed umbrella defense pacts such as NATO.

India had the world’s largest economy during the years 1 AD and 1000 AD.

Keep in mind though, during that time period "India" was little more than a geographic expression. See Middle kingdoms of India.

The UK was a poor country until the start of the 1700s. With the Industrial revolution it pulled ahead.

It took over overlordship of various Indian nations in the 1800s which is why from 1853 it overtook India economically.

Then from 1947 India implemented Socialism which kept it down -- THAT's the key reason why India is still poor. It dismantled socialism in 1991 and has been growing steadily and rapidly since then

So the answer to your question is that socialism sucks -- it kept India down and it stagnated the UK from '47 onwards (and still does). Why did Obama want to implement a failed policy in the USA?

actually the removal of the two larger notes seems to have a deflationary effect.

Are they saying it’s not a third world country. Truly shocking, if true!
