India’s Economic and Demographic Transformation Since Independence in 1947
As India marks 80 years of independence, its transformation from a largely agrarian economy with widespread poverty to a nearly $4 trillion economy is evident. Key milestones include population growth to 1.47 billion, significant industrial and economic reforms from the Licence Raj era to liberalisation, and advances in digital infrastructure. While challenges remain, indicators like GDP growth, foreign exchange reserves, and digital payments highlight India's evolving economic landscape since 1947.
