Abstract

The economy of India is fastest growing major economy in the world with a GDP growth rate of 8.1 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2005-2006. i The agriculture in pre-colonial India satisfies the food requirements of the village and also provides raw materials for hand-based industries like textile, food processing and crafts. i The estimated revenue of Akbar’s Mogul empire in 1600 at £17.5 million in contrast to the entire treasury of Great Britian in 1800 i.e., £ 16 million. i A broader macro-economic view of India during the colonial period reveals that there were segments of both growth and decline. i The economic liberalisation of 1991, initiated by then Indian Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao and his finance minister Mammohan Singh in response to a macro-economic crisis did away with the Licence Raj and ended public sector monopoly in sectors while automatically allowing approval to FDI.
