  • 1) "The realistic answer to 'Can India ever be a developed country?' is a bitter NO. Just as the answer to the other big question mark, 'Can India ever win a gold medal in Olympic athletic events?' is another resounding no. But the heart doesn't want to accept that. Somewhere, deep down, I still have a faint hope that India will become a developed nation -- and win a gold medal in athletics at the Olympics -- in my lifetime (for the record, I'm in my late thirties)."

We should become a developed country. The potential is so great that we do aspire to see that the 21st century becomes our century."

Some like the chief minister felt the it could happen much before the year 2020."

"HDI is a simple average of three indicators, each obtained from the national data on life expectancy, literacy and per capita income and maximum and minimum reference points set out for each." "The three indicator values [0.638, 0.58 and 0.558] together provide the simple average of 0.59, which is the recorded HDI for 2001, which gives the unenviable 127th position for India among the group of 175 countries considered. Two decades from 2001, though difficult, India could aim for and achieve life expectancy of 70 years and adult literacy rate of 80 per cent. As for per capita purchasing power, assuming a sustained 5 per cent growth for two decades from 2001, per capita GDP in PPP dollars would amount to $7,526. The three indicators, when standardised, provide the respective values of 0.75, 0.8 and 0.72, together giving an HDI of 0.76, a little higher than the 2001 HDI of the Philippines (0.75) and slightly lower than that of Thailand (0.77). The UNDP cut-off to distinguish high human development is HDI, of 0.8, which India should be able to achieve if concerted action is taken to raise the overall growth rate of GDP to 8 per cent per annum and per capita GDP to some 6.5 per cent. Then per capita GDP would amount to a little over $10,000 in 2021 and HDI would be 0.773, very much close to that of the high-fliers."

I hope the Indian do not make the same errors as we did. I hope that they can also keep their cultural heritage. India never has stopped being a developed country for its culture. And our standard indicators do not always tell everything.
  • Development is a continuous process we cannot fix a date for it. India is a big Country of 100 million people with varied cultures, languages, temperment etc. There is a big economic resurgence taking place in India due to IT development today. Indians are the second largest group of educated people in US occupying important positions in this Industry. Mittal Group is the largest Iron and Steel industries in the World today. Bangalore the IT capital in India is the fastest growing City in the World due to IT revolution. But Still India is a developing Country. Unlike China,all these are economic resurgence is taking place in a functional democracy, which is the largest in the world.

  • India has nuclear bombs, I think they're quite developed enough...
  • Projections are that India will be categorized as a developed nation somewhere around 2050. At the present time, from my studies into socioeconomics of underdeveloped nations and international political issues, India is categorized as in the Secondary. Where America, Australia, and Western Europe are in the Primary (the economic hubs to which goods and services are sent), and most other countries are categorized as in the Peripheral (those who's economies depend on exports to the Primary), there are some countries categorized as Secondary. These countries are developing rapidly, have strong economies that aren't exclusively dependent on the Primary, and are developing their own Peripheral, as well. India is in this category along with China.
  • They have very good economic growth which will quicken the rate of development but it will still take until the middle or third quarter of the century before it could possibly be what is considered developed .
