Off topic a bit but why is wuhan virus only harming china’s enemies and not slaves like Pakistan and North Korea?
How many people do you think can enter North Korea they are closed off from the rest of the world and maybe there isn't much international travel between Pakistan and the rest of the world

LOL! who is in denial about India's growth ? AS MANY TIMES said before the pace of growth is simply not sufficient and India performance is extremely mediocre.

It's immaterial whether China suffered immensely or not at all due to the pandemic, even if their economic growth stagnates, it will take India no less than two decades to reach the same position as China is in right now.And they are already richer than notable countries like Brazil,Turkey,Mexico,Malaysia,Russia and in the prestigious league of countries with High Human Development Index.So even if they maintain a growth of just 4%,they would still be light years ahead of us.

The significance of my statement regarding having an economy just 18% the size of China is that India has all but lost the fiscal ability to counter China on it's own and would require the assistance of a 3rd party (Europe/US).This would come at a terrible cost of abandoning an independent foreign policy and perhaps having to tolerate external interference into our domestic matters.
India WILL NOT grow at double digit rates. There are structural limitations. 7-8% is normal for us and we will be back there soon. And that 18% thing (nominal) is a statistical ANOMALY that won't last. A bunch of western publications started hyping up India when we were growing at the fastest rate ever following PVNR and Vajpeyee's reforms. Now their infatuation is over with us. Thus they are currently hyping Bangladesh up declaring them the next Asian tiger and what not. These are all rubbish. The era of Asian tigers is over. Even if we undertake all the steps Chinks did up until the 80s (not possible for a liberal democracy like India) we WILL NOT enjoy that sort of growth. Nobody is willing to open up markets for developing nations when fiscal deficits are breaking records and unemployment rates are touching new highs across the globe. India is NOT China and and it will NEVER become one. These sort of wet dreams need to stop.
And Brazil? Mexico? Russia? Turkey? You couldn't get your examples any worse. They simply stopped growing and stagnated. Heck! They were experiencing de-growth even before covid was a thing. Surpassing them is no big deal. In another 12 years India too will surpass them (Turkey will be a bit earlier). We are late entrants and our growth will not be as stunning as the Chinks (irrespective of political leadership) although it will still be significant.

In a global economic disruption, everyone suffers. Be it China, be it India, be it US, be it anyone else. Everyone loses. There is no winner in an economic collapse. It will be interesting to watch what the middle kingdom does while all their main economic levers are malfunctioning coupled with a demography that does not favour growth anymore. It is irrelevant though. For India it does not matter. Our trajectory will be completely different from what they enjoyed.

Ya'll Nibbiars when Corporate sponsorship takes over nostalgia. Many are demanding to bring Shara back. The Indian cricket team hasn't won any of ICC tournaments since they ended the sponsorship with SAHARA. India wS runner up in 2003, Won T20 wc in 2007, ODI wc in 2011 and Champions Trophy in 2013 when they were wearing SAHARA jersey. Only a coincidence?

Mr. Kenichi Ayukawa, President, SIAM, said, “In the first quarter of FY22, automobile industry in India supported the government’s intent to combat the spread of the virus by putting lockdown restrictions on industrial activities. Several OEMs closed their production plants to get oxygen accessible for medical purposes. They also supported by expanding oxygen supply to hospitals, helping health care services and local communities.”

He added, “Recently, with relaxing restrictions, OEMs have cautiously restarted processes in a phased manner. We are grateful to the Government for expanding the rate of vaccination in the country, extending a fiscal stimulus package for the key impacted sectors and involving wholesale and retail trades under MSMEs.”
