France has per capita GDP of $44000 so close to 10X.

At 2.3% GDP growth, Turkey isn't growing much faster than France. With French GDP 4X higher than Turkey, it's 1.3% is several times more than Turkey 2.3%.

lol
France per capita is 44000 agreed

but turkey per capita is 11000$ now tell who is this 10x less than yours?

You can check any source
this is the constant per capita

well i do agree that India still has the possibility to grow by 5.5%

but sir ji India growth last year was 6.5% not 7.5%

though even 5.5% if achieved grub drastic drop for India

In 2011
Quarter 1 : 8.3%
Quarter 2 : 7.8%
Quarter 3 : 7.7%
Quarter 4 : 6.9%

These rating agencies and all are a joke. I don't understand the point of constantly providing a forecast, then changing it midway - "revising the forecast". Even I can pull a "forecast" out of my ass and "revise" it as time progresses.

And I read today morning that the World Bank has forecast a growth figure of 6% for next year for India.

World Bank cuts India's GDP projection to 6% for 2012-13 - PTI

And the IMF says 4.9%. All freaking idiots. Like I said, even I can pull these numbers out of my ass and "revise" them later.

What we have to our advantage, is a huge underground/black economy which will be added to the tally once GST comes

Sir ji, almost every country has such a underground /shadow economy. Even in Italy and Spain

next year would be interesting

India growth rate 4.9% or below

pak growth rate 4.7% or above

in 2010 alot of news were of India replacing China as fastest economy

while it seems that even pak will cross India in gdp growth rate until and unless you guys get rid of this govt in 2014

Pakistan is not even in the same league. Let's be generous and say Pakistan grows by 10% and India grows by only 5%. That's 10% of $200 billion (Pak's GDP) = 20 billion added to your economy in the next year. In India's case, it would be 5% of $2 trillion = $100 billion or half of the Pak economy added in 1 yr.

Seriously, Pakis should stop comparing themselves to India. It sounds more and more ridiculous day by day.
