Kamini Banga, Distinguished guests, my Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen,

• At the outset, I want to thank Kamini for taking the initiative to bring us all together today. Kamini and I were in the same Physics (Hons) class in Delhi University. She was in Miranda House an all-girls college and I was in St.Stephen’s an all-boys college. The University decided to put the Physics students of our two colleges together since at that time Honours students had their classes in the Physics Department in Delhi University. I cannot say how much physics the students learnt but there seemed to be a lot of chemistry between the boys and girls

• It is a cliché yet true that India lives in several centuries. It is also a cliché that whatever you say about India or Indians, the opposite is also usually true. For example, while 26% of our population is still illiterate, we have very sophisticated Space and Nuclear Power Programmes

• I would like to begin with a historical overview of the Indian economy. And, I will use both graphs and tables

3

• I want to emphasise that although I will go back 300 years in time this is not to make excuses for India or make a case for Indian exceptionalism

• I will also present projected growth rates for India, other emerging economies and developed countries. Again, this is not to divert attention from the many shortcomings and difficulties that we are currently facing

• Incidentally, to the extent possible, for the supporting data I have used multilateral sources such as the IMF

• Inter-country comparisons can be questioned on the grounds that the underlying data is not comparable. In that sense a better way to evaluate India’s progress is to compare and contrast its economic indicators across time and not across countries

4

India’s ranking in world population and GDP over the last three hundred years

• India plus China had about half the world’s population and produced over 40% global GDP in the early 1800s

• India’s GDP share steadily declined over the next 150 years

• The two economies have raised their share of global GDP in last four decades

5

• India is home to 1.2 billion people, which is about 17.4 % of the global population

• However, it accounts for only 5.4 % of world GDP

• Hence, India has some catching up to do

6

India is in Transition

• It is a relatively young country even though it has an ancient and continuous civilisation

• Historically there have been serious social and economic imbalances

• Employment guarantee law has given livelihood security to people at the bottom of economic pyramid

• Right to Information and our media has given voice and access to most citizens

• Current inconsistencies between intentions and outcomes are part of processes which will lead to enhanced transparency and hence improved governance

• Several Indian corporates have commented in the last few years that the prospects for investment in India are not sufficiently attractive. Some major business houses has invested in emerging economies and developed countries. Several of these debt driven investments now face difficulties because growth in the countries concerned was less than what was projected at the time the investments were made. This is not to suggest that Indian firms made a mistake by investing outside India. Hindsight is always 20/20

• The bottom line in India as elsewhere is: No Risk No Gain.

• We should remind ourselves that when it comes to India it makes sense to take a longer term view, particularly with respect to investments in manufacturing and infrastructure
