As discussed in the text, India unlike most democracies is a relatively poor country, however due to it's successful political policy, it's been able to maintain it's economic growth over the years, and is now in competition with another world power, China. I found it interesting that when Gandhi returned to India, he effectively transformed the Indian National Congress into an entity built around swaraj, or Indian independence. This I believe aided in India's route to independence as well as the fact that it allowed for recognition by the rest of the world.
Interestingly enough, when I went to search on more statistical information regarding India's economic growth, I came upon a link that claimed "India's economy is growing slower than expected."
"India's Economy Grows Slower than Expected." BBC News. N.p., 28 Feb. 2014. Web. 21 Mar. 2014. <http://www.bbc.com/news/business-26385545>.
