Query arising from FAR

Dear contributors

Can someone reveal whether Maddison's estimates on India's share of global income, as cited in the colonial section, were based on PPP? These are fascinating figures, and we need to verify the methodology. Tony 14:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

India 6th most dangerous country for kids: Poll

New Delhi, August 7: India has been judged as the sixth most dangerous country for children in the world, according to a recent poll. Afghanistan, Palestinian territories, Myanmar and Chechnya were placed better than India in the poll conducted by Reuters Alertnet, a humanitarian news website run by Reuters Foundation, Rajya Sabha was told today.

During the survey, the website asked more than 110 aid experts and journalists to highlight the most dangerous places for children. The first five dangerous countries are Sudan, Northern Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq and Somalia, Minister of State (independent charge) for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhury said while replying to a written question.

The facts that have been taken into account for the poll survey include the children involved in armed conflict, the psychological trauma experienced by children caught up in violence, the children living in poverty and forced to work to support themselves and their families and malnutrition among children, the minister said.

Economy of India and Rationing Card

Article 'Economy of India' contains many subject including silver coin, RBI, currency note of 1000 rupees, Metro railway and Bombay Stock Exchange. Only the missing information is of Rationing Card which is meant for poor to get food grains at subsidised rate. Will some body give some short of information on Indian Rationing Card and no of persons holding this cards?

Many Industrialist are also holding Rationing Card means they are poor in thinking also.

GDP Ranking

1>The GDP ranking is wrong. The world need not be accounted for. Hence the Rank becomes 5th from the present 6th.

Now the European Union also cannot be accounted for since the economy of various nations of the European Union is shown as different and in many places like in the Economy of France EU is unaccounted for. Either make the change in all the Economy of <countryname> or place the rank of India as 4th. Chanakyathegreat 09:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

2>The graph shows both Bangladesh and Pakistan for 1950,1960 and 1970 whereas Bangladesh got created only in 1971.Can someone explain how could the GDP of a non existing country is calculated?

Nationalisation of Banks

203.199.104.65 12:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)WIKIPEDIA mentions in this article:

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi nationalised 15 banks in 1969, followed by six others in 1980, and made it mandatory for banks to provide 40% (since reduced to 10%) of their net credit to priority sectors like agriculture, small-scale industry, retail trade, small businesses, etc. to ensure that the banks fulfill their social and developmental goals.

ACTUALLY only 14 banks were nationalised in 1969 [19th July 1969 to be precise].

Killing for 'Mother' Kali

Human sacrifice has always been an anomaly in India. Even 200 years ago, when a boy was killed every day at a Kali temple in Calcutta, blood cults were at odds with a benign Hindu spiritualism that celebrates abstinence and vegetarianism. But Kali is different. A ferocious slayer of evil in Hindu mythology, the goddess is said to have an insatiable appetite for blood. With the law on killing people more strictly enforced today, ersatz substitutes now stand in for humans when sacrifice is required. Most Kali temples have settled on large pumpkins to represent a human body; other followers slit the throats of two-meter-tall human effigies made of flour, or of animals such as goats.

World bank external links

These links:

• Doing Business in India
• Enterprise Surveys: India
• Privatization Database: India
• Infrastructure Projects: India

Were added by an editor whose only contributions have been to promote the World Bank Group (doingbusiness.org is a World Bank Group project). We have recently uncovered significant edits promoting this organization (see this WikiProject Spam discussion). In the interest of our neutral point of view policy and conflict of interest guideline I've moved the links here for other editors to consider. I personally think that four data links from one organization may be overkill without competing points of view. Also, Wikipedia has articles on the Ease of Doing Business Index and the World Bank Group which may be more appropriate than an external link. Thanks -- Siobhan Hansa 14:04, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Economic Reforms

Hi, Shouldn't we be covering the Economic Reforms instituted. They have had a massive impact on the Indian economy and we need to cover it.

L&T 54?? Impossible

The article is wrong in stating that L&T is ranked #54 and higher than reliance, indian oil, etc. in the forbes listing. Someone probably got that number from one of the niche rankings forbes publishes and wrongly added it to this list. --Blacksun 15:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Numbers vs Text

The following section:

The economic reforms that caused a surge in economic growth after 1980 can be attributed to two stages of reform. The pro-business measures of 1980, initiated by Rajiv Gandhi, eased restrictions on capacity expansion for incumbents, removed price controls and reduced corporate taxes. The economic liberalisation of 1991, initiated by then Indian prime minister P. V. Narasimha Rao and his finance minister Manmohan Singh in response to a balance-of-payments crisis, did away with the Licence Raj (investment, industrial and import licensing) and ended many public monopolies, allowing automatic approval of foreign direct investment in many sectors.

Implies that the economy grew after 1980. According to the graph opposite, the GDP/Capita went down after 1980. Also, even accounting for the subsequent recovery, the growth after reforms doesn't seem greater than the growth before refroms. In fact it seems less.

I imagine that the graph is right, and the neoliberal propaganda is wrong. Can we do something about this? 87.194.30.86 13:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

This Article Can Be Improved

I think that there are several ways that this article can be improved. 1. The name of the "Notes" section should be changed with the name of the "References" section. 2. The external links should be organized into "official" and "unofficial" branches, each one containing organized groups of organized links. 3. The introduction should be made shorter, with some of the information that would be cut away going to their sections. Johnsmithcba 19:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

GDP growth projection with PPP shift taken into consideration

With the calculation currently there in the article, hyper inflation would lead to hyper GDP growth. An inflation rate of 100% would increase GDP growth by 100%, the way the math has been done there.

GDP growth numbers reported by the IMF, World Bank and UN agencies are based on dollars. The 2006/7 GDP growth of 9.4% for example is calculated from: (GDP in 2006 in rupees * dollar-rupee-rate in 2006) - (GDP in 2005 in rupees * dollar-rupee-rate in 2005)

This automatically accounts for rupee appreciation against the dollar.

Goldman Sachs is a reputed investment firm. You can't question their economic reports without substantial backing.

Yeah, the section was written as an essay, and should never have been there in the first place. So it's gone now. My fault for continually reverting you. But the stuff that's there now needs a source. Gscshoyru 16:08, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Excised text

I removed a huge block of text which disputed the Goldman Sachs report in excruciating depth. While interesting, it is original research and throws the article completely out of balance. The block may be found here for reference. — Ravikiran 16:48, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Opening discussion

Gunjan, please discuss here about that disputed block of text. My objections are stated above. It is original research and makes the article unbalanced. — Ravikiran 13:17, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Once again, Gunjan/207... Please discuss this [2]. — Ravikiran 17:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Gunjan, your "compromise" [3] does nothing to fix the two problems, which I will restate below:

• This is an article about the Economy of India, not an analysis of Goldman Sach's prediction. Anything over 2-3 lines on that report is overkill.
• Wikipedia is not the place where you can publish original analyses. Even something as simple as the Goldman's model overpredicting past growth rates for India - that has to be attributed to someone. There is no way your text can be retained anywhere in Wikipedia, but I am right now concentrating on this article. — Ravikiran 23:46, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

This issue has been on my to-do list for a very long time, and I completely agree with Ravikaran's analysis. To summarize:

• The "Future predictions taking purchasing power parity into account" was not only unnecessarily detailed but also violated wikipedia's policies on verifiability and no original research. Therefore it has no place in this or any other wikipedia article and I have deleted it.
• The lengthy "Future predictions: "conventional wisdom" from Goldman Sachs" was redundant (it basically repeated the same statement thrice) and gave a single report undue weight, especially considering that wikipedia is not a crystal ball. It certainly did not deserve a section of its own, and I have compressed the prediction to a sentence in the After 1991 section.

Gunjan, I understand that you added your analysis in good faith, but I hope you will click on the policy links I have provided above and understand why the additions are inappropriate for wikipedia. If you disagree, feel free to discuss it on this talk page. Cheers. Abecedare 00:33, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

OK - hope you guys listen to this, because this is the last straw, and my faith in the sincerity of the people maintaining this page (and not something driven by pure ego) has already fallen quite low:

1.Ravikaran- stop reverting the rankings - India is now the 3rd largest economy as of 2007 not 4th- read the Wiki data behind the link!!!! Be a bit less trigger happy about deleting content or reverting to old data before verifying stuff- unless you really want to kill this page and make it obsolete, or want to get blocked from editing because of 3RR.

2. Perhaps I might be less familiar with Wiki, but Ravikiran you need to be a bit more thoughtful before put sentences which don't make any sense or severely damage the page content (like the future economy is now a meaningless stubb and a huge gap in an article that talks about the second fastest growing and the third largest economy in the world -what a terrible decline in just 1 week- and thanks to the history we all know who is behind it!)- you even deleted reasonable stuff about Goldman Sachs report that was not even added by me. Just because you think it is not relevant does not make it so- remember that. You have to have a strong reason for going around deleting contents that have no errors in them- and fit well in the page. Remember- there are a lot of pages in Wikipedia that do not go beyond the superficial stuff- you don't want this page to end up there- just because knowledgeable people find it difficult to add any new content because of your hegemony.

3. The stuff I added was a summary of what I presented at the Linucon 2004 conference - it was my research but not "original research" (and had a link to that paper presentation). The historical data on decline of India's PPP were not even research -that was just facts- important ones in the context of the discussion. Oh, btw, having a PhD in Machine Learning from UT Austin, and having worked for S&P, Amazon and other companies as a financial modeler for a few years now- I "might" know more than you about macro-economics (not sure what your background is - but sorry to say Ravikaran, you do not seem to be able to grasp even basic concepts-from what I could tell from your toxic comments. It is a huge and unfortunate loss for this page having an unqualified zealot driving it. Taking advice from Wikipedia itself, I am now formally giving up wasting my time on it- as the Wiki page on mediating dispute suggests - move on... creat a new page, perhaps in the future some more reasonable editors who would be open to new ideas and facts glaring at their face that are relevant today, and who respect others as they would want others to respect them, will come along.

Partisan Interpretation of Colonial Economics

Hi,

"An estimate by Cambridge University historian Angus Maddison reveals that India's share of the world income fell from 22.6% in 1700, comparable to Europe's share of 23.3%, to a low of 3.8% in 1952.[17] While Indian leaders during the Independence struggle, and left-nationalist economic historians have blamed colonial rule for the dismal state of India's economy in its aftermath, a broader macroeconomic view of India during this period reveals that there were sectors of growth and decline, resulting from changes brought about by colonialism and a world that was moving towards industrialisation and economic integration.[18][19]"

This statement is partisan, and only puts forth one point of view. The phrase "left-nationalistic economic historians have blamed" is a straw man, and the following statements seem to be cyclical ("changes brought about by colonialism" is presented as a counterpoint to "blamed colonial rule", while these two ideas are essentially the same). Much scholarship at Cambridge, Chicago, and other universities have put forth a more balanced view which factors in British mismanagement of the Indian economy and the use of poverty for political gain (ex. Easterly's "White Man's Burden"). I believe that there should be room for these viewpoints rather than airing just one rather one-sided one, and one that's from a unbalanced source (references 18, 19 are from OUP, and Oxford is not renound for allowing discussion of the negative aspects of colonialism). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.1.153.51 (talk) 01:44, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

--Agreed, please add any solid references you have. Make sure they are watertight, because some people on here are only too happy to delete anything 'anti-colonial'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.10.192.78 (talk) 09:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Income distribution

After the liberalization of the economy, the poor has benifited the most. [5] Before the license raj, a limited amount of people who did business with the politicians, the politicians and those who started very early were wealthy. This has changed with the liberalization and the wealth distribution is getting even. This is a good sign of progress. Chanakyathegreat (talk) 12:26, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Conflicting Workforce Statistics

The page states that 59% of the total workforce of India was employed by the agriculture sector in 2016 and that 57% of the workforce was employed by the retail sector in the same year (2016). These stats are based on adding the indirect and induced employment to direct employment based on the source, but this is never indicated and seems more confusing than simply listing direct employment by sector. Plus the listed totals add up to far more than 100% which seems unclear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.186.24.194 (talk) 02:54, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Indian economic system

Hi All @KREOH: @Goldsztajn: @Prolix: In the lead section of the first paragraph it states India is a "market economy". But sources provided does not confirm clearly that Indian economy is a market economy. Moreover technically speaking no economy in the world is fully market economy especially during times of recession governments across the world do intervene through monetary and fiscal policy. And governments introduce huge stimulus package in a Keynesian economic style. In Indian context from 1950-1991 India was strictly mixed economy with heavy influence of socialist policies from 1991 it adopted free market system, so rather mention "mixed-market economy" or "social market and market-orientated economy" or mixed-free market economy which ever you find suitable. Remember finding sources which quotes exactly these words would be difficult. So a brief note needs in ref needs to be mentioned since users won't get confused. And if you guys find good scholarly sourced then pls feel free to add. Thanks--103.102.116.225 (talk) 06:28, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Kingdom of Mysore wages

Hey, my problem with the claims about Mysore, stems from this discussion [6]. Pleas read it. The claim that Mysore wages were higher then British is original research. Parthasarathi actually says that "At the moment, the quantitative data are inconclusive, but the figures for India that have been obtained from primary sources are radically different from the scattered earnings data found in the secondary literature. This indicates that more research is needed on the basis of primary evidence for India". Neither he nor Sivramkrishna say that Mysoreans wages were higher than British, this is simply original research. I think this should be rewritten more neutrally, like "according to Parthasarathi and Sivramkrishna the grain wages of weavers in India were as high as British", or something like this. DMKR2005 (talk) 17:12, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

DMKR2005, I have read the relevant parts of the book (albeit not in too much detail) and I'll have to agree, the statement does indeed seem like original research. I would much rather the statement be reworded to read what the original authors actually intended to get across as opposed to simply removing the content like you did.

If you would be willing to make the relevant changes please do go ahead. Thank you for engaging in discussion, I really respect that. Have a good day! Prolix 💬 17:58, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll rewrite it, when I have time DMKR2005 (talk) 23:45, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey, just saying that I used "maybe higher", because according to Sivramkrishna [7], which is the source that Parthasarathi used in the book: " Before anyone jumps to conclusions about living standards in southern India in the early nineteenth century, we hasten to add a cautionary note on the state of the economy at the time of Buchanan Journey. We had mentioned earlier that our paper is based entirely on observations recorded at one point of time", on page 729. And of course Parthasarathi himself said that more research is needed, before any conclusion could be drawn. Although I think your changes are fine, though I would prefer to use "could be as high" DMKR2005 (talk) 16:24, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

DMKR2005, added in 'likely'. I think that this line, "However they concluded that due to the scarcity of data, it was hard to draw definitive conclusions, and that more research was required." is enough to convey to the reader that the data here is not definitive and that a lot of this is based on assumptions and inconclusive information. Prolix 💬 18:38, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Original research about Mughal labour

I'm just gonna copy, part of my criticism from Mughal empire talk page: "Mughal India's workforce had a higher percentage in the non-primary sector than Europe's workforce did at the time" is referenced to Cipolla. But Cipolla says that "Because of lack of statistical data, no one will ever know with any degree of accuracy what percentage of European population was employed in the primary sector". Ciopolla says that even for mid 18 century the data is imprecise. Most importantly neither Cipolla nor Yazdani say that Mughals had higher percentage in the non primary sector then europe. This statement is simply original research, combining two sources to draw conclusion . In fact I've never saw any economic historian saying anything like this.

I am also skeptical about the claim that Mughals had higher per-capita agricultural output and standards of consumption. The cited source is Franks's article, which in itself cites Irfan Habib, Percival Spear, and Ashok Desai.The same source also says that: "Ken Pomeranz(1997) however suggest that European standards of consumption were higher than Asian one", which is kind of strange, as Pomeranz would later write Great Divergence, where he would argue, that standards of living were comparable, at least for China. They seem to me quite dated authors, as a lot of new information have been produced since, from Broadberry, Gupta, Parthasarathi, de Zwart and others. Some of them disagree with there conclusion while others back it up. For newest data see [8]. In regards to the claim we should at least mention that Frank is talking about 17 century.

Please add the following quote to the "British era" section:

"Company official John Sullivan observed in the 1840s: 'The little court disappears - the capital decays - trade languishes - the capital decays - the people are impoverished - the Englishman flourishes, and acts like a sponge, drawing up riches from the banks of the Ganges, and squeezing them down upon the banks of the Thames'. India that the British East India Company conquered was no primitive or barren land, but the glittering jewel of the medieval world. Its accomplishments and prosperity - 'the wealth created by vast and varied industries' - were succinctly described by a Yorkshire-born American Unitarian minister, J. T. Sunderland. At the beginning of eighteenth century, as the British economic historian Angus Maddison has demonstrated, India's share of world economy was 23 per cent, as large as all of Europe put together. By the time the British departed India, it had dropped to just over 3 per cent. The reason was simple: India was governed for the benefit of Britain. Britain's rise for 200 years was financed by its depredation in India."

World Economic History : GDP India and World

According to Pradeep Rathore economic historian Angus Maddison in his book The World Economy: A Millennial Perspective, India was the richest country in the world and had the world's largest economy during 0 BCE and 1000 BCE. Also for most of the period when China was the dominant economy in the world, India held the second position of the largest economy.

I think not. The first citation has no mention of market economy. The second citation does not have an explicit mention of market economy, at least to be found by thissearch. The third citation is 24th page of a book where it is stated that "Despite India's emerging market economy being relatively resilient, it has experienced limited integration with global trade.". It does not say that India is a market economy. All it is saying is India's market economy is emerging. Having a market economy is possible in a mixed economy too. On the contrary there are ample academic sources saying that India is a mixed economy. See here. https://www.google.com/search?q=india+mixed+economy Appu (talk) 10:28, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

GDP Growth Data Confusion

Hi @Ruk469: Please check this official MOSPI Source [9] or this [10] or [11] all three MOSPI source states GDP contracted by more than 7%. Don't go by Indian news report they're unreliable and publish bullshit news most of time. Their credibility and journalistic qualities are highly questionable. Thanks--Mariam57 (talk) 13:46, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

@Mariam57 I am not talking about media. Am talking about the latest press note on 2nd advanced estimates by MoSPI. I also attached the source for the same. talking about the "bullshit news", you are completely wrong here. Ruk469 (talk) 14:07, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

@Ruk469: Ok you had added the official MOSPI source. Great. Thanks for correcting me.--Mariam57 (talk) 18:02, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

@Ruk469: However, you added official source. You can add quarter-wise growth rate in infobox. Do not add yearly growth rate, unless IMF or World bank didn't published latest estimates. Dinesh | Talk 04:36, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

@Dineshswamiin: Is there any problem if the official data is there along with the estimated data? Ruk469 (talk) 05:15, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

@Ruk469:, @Dineshswamiin: You guys can keep either IMF or World Bank data, both are reliable, both of them publish annual growth rates. I think no need to provide quarterly as it be very difficult for ordinary viewer to read, moreover, the infobox would look very clutter. It better to provide estimate and forecast year and also provide current year as well. Official Govt source can be used for current fiscal year, but for estimate and forecast year should always be from IMF or World Bank source.--Mariam57 (talk) 09:40, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

@Ruk469: We're using IMF figure for GDP and, PPP. Second reason is Indian rupees is managed floating exchange currency. If you convert GDP by IMF into Indian rupees, growth rate will be less than -7.3 (less than IMF estimate, 2020) and, if you'll convert GDP by government into USD, growth rate will be higher than -6.6 (government estimate). Of course, official government data is more relevant but not for infobox. For the same reason, we don't use Forex reserves in Indian rupees. Official data by government can be used for GDP by sector etc. Dinesh | Talk 03:38, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

@Dineshswamiin: Understood. Thanks for correcting me. Ruk469 (talk) 03:44, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Update Export and Import figures

Export and Import figures are written wrong here in the page. It is only showing the export and import figures of merchandise goods without adding the export and import of services which is wrong.

The total export of india (Merchandise + services) for 2022 is $668.89 billion.

The total import of india (merchandise + services) for 2022 is $756.68 billion.

Please update these export and import figures by verifying the figures from the official governmental published report.

Regarding Figures as per citation and dispute resolution by seeking Consensus

Pinging @Mariam57, Dineshswamiin, Ohnoitsjamie, and Fylindfotberserk: for Solution or Conensus. Here is the issue, recent changes made by User:Dineshswamiin, User:Mariam57 and others including me in Good faith with reliable citation are being reverted without convincing reasons by User:Contribution888 acting like WP:DONTGETIT.

I could create an RfC but RfCs are time consuming, and editors time is valuable. Before using the RfC process to get opinions from outside editors, it's often faster and more effective to thoroughly discuss the matter with any other parties on the related talk page.

So, First the concern is about Population below Poverty Line. Contribution888 and @Ruk469, both were deviating from the Reliability and were engaged in Wikipedia:Edit war. Sources like this [13] are generally not quite reliable. When both warned, User:Ruk469 aknowledged but User:Contribution888 followed Uncivility and Harassment. Although this is different from the topic of concern and will be uphold on relevant spaces.

Again, Contribution888 referenced Bare PDF citing IMF report which had no specific point to directly support the figure (example: parameter like page no.) and it doesn't conform to Wikipedia's article standard. See that edit by User:Contribution888 here [14]

Following all these things, the most reliable sources is World bank, in fact, IMF also collaborate with World bank on Macro Poverty Outlook and refers to World Bank Reports when dealing with Poverty Outlook on their own reports. A report on poverty in South Asia is published annually and at spring named as South Asia Economic Focus. [15] It clearly states the figure of 61.7% below $3.2/day. Have a look here on Page 10 on the table [16]

I made the changes following the citation, see here, [17] and was reverted again by User:Contribution888 with misleading edit summaries violating civility without even verifying the source. See here [18] and the user chose to Edit War for once again.

The Second concern is about removal of Sourced content by the same user and the reason given is "(Poverty rate of india in 2021 is 6% according to world poverty clock 2021. Please don't provide old data of 2011. Thanks.)". See edits of User:Dineshswamiin reverted by User:Contribution888 here [19]

Please verify all above and leave your valuable comments to reach to consensus regarding concerned topic. Sneha04 ^💬 06:16, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey folks, The first thing is that @Sneha04 is being so biased and doing her best to present old data of 2011 regarding the population below poverty line of $3.2 . According to 2021 estimates, the population below poverty line is 6%. You can read thousands of articles on that. And Everyone knows that. But @Sneha is posting figures of 2011. Second thing is that The population living in extreme poverty is 0.8% in 2022 according to International Monetary Fund. Everyone knows that but still @Sneha is posting old figure of 2011. Yesterday she sent me messages by threatening me that I would be blocked just because I posted the actual figures with proper sources of latest years 2021 and 2022 which according to her is edit war. When today I sent her message regarding her biased posting information then she deleted the her user talks by giving false reason of uncivil act.

@Sneha04 Sure. Ruk469 (talk) 05:25, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

@Sneha04:, @Ruk469:: I'm very busy these days. I'm unable to find a better source because of lack of time. Perhaps;

• $3.2 per day (GDP nominal): ~50%
• $3.2 per day (GDP PPP): ~5%

If official report (published by government) is available, you can use it as source. If mentioned, you can use this report (here to download, PDF (~15MB)) as source. (updated - signed) Dinesh | Talk 09:28, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

According to World Bank (Report 2011, based on PPP), 5.5% people living on less than $1.9 per day, 62% on less than %3.2 per day, and 88% on less than $5.5 per day. About 6% people are living on less than $1.9 per day (Worldpoverty).[20]

However, less $3.2 per day is not necessary. Dinesh | Talk 09:46, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Type of India's Economy, By coordination

@Mariam57 there is a term called mixed market economy which is blend of both words, see the redirect page Mixed market economy. Sneha04 ^💬 07:43, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

@Sneha04: We have to go by the sources and it clearly states India has a market economy. All of the sources are academic sources. So your view hardly matters at end of the day we have go the sources. Thanks--Mariam57 (talk) 12:04, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

An unsolicited advice : Please Don't be uncivil in Edit Summaries like when it doesn't meant reasonably correct and the consensus yet not reached. see WP:SUMMARYNO

You have reverted my edits without having consensus built upon it. This edit [21] was clearly not adhering to WP:QUO . Quoting guideline "During a dispute discussion, until a consensus is established, you should not revert away".

It seems you may not have much knowledge about Economics, so let me help you, India is definitely a market economy as well as a mixed economy and when it is so, we call it a mixed-market economy.

Now, It's not my views and it definitely doesn't matter on Wikipedia's article space. Please look again at the citation provided. You might not have checked out the citations yet.

Check out the very first Citation on this article by Kaushik, Surendra K. Here it is again, “India's Evolving Economic Model: A Perspective on Economic and Financial Reforms.” The American Journal of Economics and Sociology, vol. 56, no. 1, [ American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Inc., Wiley ], 1997, pp. 69–84, JSTOR 3487351.

Just pick the very first paragraph and second line, what it says? Quoting "Economic policies of the Indian government have guided and shaped India into a mixed economy. Again, on the fifth line you will get, India is an Open-Market economy too! So it is defined in such cases as mixed-market economy.

You did the same at Economy of Canada. Now, You can join at WP:ECON and discuss it with other fellow contributors before making wrong changes to the article which are clearly supported by strong reliable sources.

Now I guess, you got it and I hope you willn't act like WP:ICANTHEARYOU. Sneha04 ^💬 14:23, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

@Sneha04: Technically all economies are market economy. In India's case as majority of sources categorically states moreover if you read in depth you will know that authors of the articles has states multiple times, India as being a market economy. Moreover "mixed market economy" term is not broadly used in financial or economic world. Economist by and large mostly use free market, open market, market economy, capitalist economy or Laissez-faire economy or neo-liberal in political economic sense. But all these terms are interrelated and can be categorizes as capitalist economies. Please don't change terms unnecessarily. We should rather sticks what economist mostly use in financial world. Thank You!--Mariam57 (talk) 17:31, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

In that sense all economies are mixed economies but I will refrain from going deeper into the topic and definitions. Now, those statements with unclassified terms you mentioned are just random with no reasonable logic and "what economists say" are kinda arbitrary lacking absolute understanding. It's not about a term convention here, it's representation in a logical way.

By the way, you gave a statement about what was present for so long on edit summary of this edit [22]Right? Term "Mixed economy" was a part of this article for so long! See here [23], the article back at 2017 but was changed recently on this edit [24] without any consensus developed on WP:ECON.

There is actually term of mixed market economy and there is a redirect page on wikipedia to represent both of these core economic system at the same time and it was continued on Wikipedia's article space for a long time. You have removed the term in most of the articles recently which were well existed long, without even checking the sources, and most of them with misleading edit summaries like terming "Copy-edited". I think it's a good-faith addition and pretty much needed. Sneha04 ^💬 03:37, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Dineshswamiin: @Fylindfotberserk: @Ohnoitsjamie: @Vanamonde93: Guys can you come of this issue majority of the sources says India has transitioned from mixed economy to market economy. But Sneha04 is adamant on putting "mixed market economy" which is not at all widely used in financial world. Moreover, most academic sources state that India as a market economy. Thanks--Mariam57 (talk) 12:53, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Maybe Index of Economic Freedom article can be helpful! Dinesh | Talk 15:43, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Look, you are talking about Economic freedom, it is different from topic of concern. All economies aren't absolutely open or closed! There comes this freedom index to deal with this problem. It's not about terms but more about representation of it. This is the reason, terms like open, closed, free are avoided in most articles similar to this one.

It was a simple good faith addition or representation of terms in a way readers can understand, but it drawn into such a ridiculous exchange of words, I really can't make sense of those arguments. Posing WP:NOTGETTINGIT, Lack of competence is clearly seen.

"What is widely used in financial world", can be known just a google search away. So using the same irrational argument on every next reply doesn't conclude a consensus.

The statement by User:Mariam57 again lacks fundamental understanding of Economics, Economic Orders. You can obviously judge it by that straight random illogical POV statement "India has transitioned from mixed economy to market economy.", FYI India is both a market economy as well as a mixed economy. It transitioned from a socialist economy to mixed one. I could describe what is market socialism and mixed market but it would be so long and will get contradicted by WP:FORUM as well. So it is better to look at sources provided and figure out which look reasonable to others. Sneha04 ^💬 18:11, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Suggestion: You should not engage in edit war. Before reverting second time, mention user on the talk and discuss about it. (See: Three revert rule) Dinesh | Talk 16:13, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Sneha04: @Dineshswamiin: Look first of all I admit we both were slowly engaging in edit wars. And we should be aware of it but unfortunately @Sneha4 acted irrationally reverting edits without reaching consensus. The "mixed market economy" term redirecting to mixed economy. Why it should redirect to mixed economy why not market economy. If you notice carefully all the top notch scholarly articles from Harvard, Cambridge or Oxford you'll notice economies are either "market economy" or "mixed economy" but this so called "mixed market economy" terminology is not used at all. Then why on earth we should use that terminology. We should go by the sources rather than inventing our own terminology. Moreover, @Sneha4 you're not an economist of Harvard or MIT caliber so don't try to be over smart. Better, what the sources says we should stick with it. Again you tried to change in US Economy as well, which I reverted it. Even in dictionary we have these above terms Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Source 4. There is no so called "mixed market" term. And guys if you want I can put more top class academic sources published from world's leading institution regarding India's economic transformation. Thanks--Mariam57 (talk) 12:52, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

@Mariam57 Since beginning, "what happened" is in front of everyone, So nobody is asking for your kind justification about that! I reverted following WP:BRD as citated sources have contradicted your edits clearly and effectively.

I really can't make sense of your aggression because even when you don't have necessary understanding about Econ and getting contradicted by citations, you kept reiterate unreasonable statements just to obstinate. Are you an economist from Harvard or MIT calibre? moreover, is that a criteria of editing Wikipedia? Even, if I appear over-smart to you, does that help the purpose of consensus? Again, I don't need to establish my accomplishments on random people on this space. At least I'm not cantankerous when I don't have acute awareness about a certain topic. So assume good faith from next time and be competent. And yes, Sources are contradicting your words not mine. So, you better stick to sources and stop using selective words from it. Again, acting like, "I am not getting this" wouldn't help you polarize the conclusion of the discussion. Putting certain words from random dictionary for references doesn't seem logical to a reasonable observer.

"Mixed-Market Economy" is certainly redirected to "mixed economy" following a discussion because that is more reasonable and that's what exactly I was trying to say.

I refrained from WP:FORUM for long now, but to enlighten certain people, I have to explain it. Explaining it, Mixed-market economy certainly represent mixture of state capitalism with private capitalism along-with state intervention in the form of regulations, policies, a form that is successively covered under Typology section of mixed economy. Now, Pure Market Economy is an absolute or extreme sense of Capitalism but India is neither a socialist economy nor a capitalist economy in a whole or entirely (that's why called as Mixed-economy), but both of these nature is present, and a mix of mixed economy just what @Hemantha explained and it is unapt to put this highly selective word like "Market Economy". Now, mixed economy is a broader branch which includes a lot of other econ-systems too, that's why to be specific, the term Mixed-market economy continuing on Wikipedia's article space for a long time with a redirect page.

Again, an advice since you are not quite sound with Guidelines as seen from your past activities, US Economy is not concerned here. Use relevant discussion page for that. Continuing edit war and harming the article space may seem ideal to you but there could be discussion on respective talk page. This behaviour can cost you in future. Another reminder, See "What Wikipedia is not"

I had produced sufficient lines in quotation on first place at the very beginning of this discussion, so from the next time, bring your "top class academic sources", "top notch scholarly articles" and cite those sentences impartially instead of babbling around with the same reply of "guys if you want I can do this, I can do that, why on earth we should use that terminology" on everybody. Be careful, you can get self-contradicted when citing sentences of your "top class academic sources", "top notch scholarly articles" unless you use method of Cheery-picking.

Sneha04 ^💬 10:45, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Also another point if you guys are not satisfied with "market economy" term then we can say "free market economy" or "capitalistic economy" or "Laissez-faire economy". Thanks--Mariam57 (talk) 13:02, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

No, none of those are appropriate. Mixed economy is the correct one since whole swathes of economy - natural gas, fertilizers, drugs, cereals and pulses - are controlled by government policies which either directly set prices or strongly influence them through subsidies. Y._V._Reddy, who was then a deputy governor of RBI, has described the economic reforms as "more dynamic mix of mixed economy i.e., changing mix of State and market or public and private sector". He goes into more detail in a later speech where he says The altering of the boundaries between State and market encompasses, what is variously described as, realigning government, structural reforms towards liberalisation or deregulation, and changing mix of the mixed economy. There is extensive literature now as well about the increasing protectionism in India (with Atmanirbharata and increasing tariffs) and the rise of "national champions" like Ambani and Adani which make "market economy" an even more inapt description. Hemantha (talk) 03:55, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

@Hemantha I somewhat agree to you, But Mixed economy is an extensive domain, so using a term like Mixed-market economy is more logical in that sense. If you put don't want to put Mixed-market economy, we can agree to put mixed economy with a redirect to that section Mixed Economy#Typology is also feasible. Looking forward for your reply to conclude the consensus and request for closure, change in protection level from @The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい):. Sneha04 ^💬 10:57, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Issue would be finding suitable sources. If you can find them, you can go ahead. Hemantha (talk) 13:01, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Hemanth, the two sources you provided are very old one published in 1996 another in 1997. But if you look carefully the sources which already present in article are recent and all are research scholarly sources even though India has adapted mixed economy since 1950 with excessive socialistic policy but when India got bankrupt in 1991 it opened up its economy. And also collapse of Soviet Union played a huge role. Right now all countries have move toward market-oriented economy though some government regulation is their even in most well developed economies like U.S. or Europe or Japan because they too provide huge agricultural subsidies. The "Market economy" is the correct term because majority of the sources do state India has made radical transformation after 1991 economic collapse. And current and previous regimes in India has opened up its economy quite a lot. From relaxing of FDI policy to privatizing government enterprises by reducing stake. As I said earlier we have to go what majority of the sources says. Also I would like to reiterate if "market economy" term is not liked by other editors then we can go "free market economy" or "capitalistic economy" or "Laissez-faire economy". The point is after the collapse of Soviet Union in 1991 the whole world has adapted Adam Smith's economic philosophy of "free market". Over the last 200 to 300 years many recessions have come and gone but Adam Smith's free market principal have thrived and prospered. Thanks--Mariam57 (talk) 04:44, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Let's see the refs in the article - most of which were placed by you.

• Kaushik, Surendra K.

Economic policies of the Indian government have guided and shaped India into a mixed economy. ... Financial and economic reforms since 1991 have accelerated the pace of change toward an open market economy

I fail to see how this supports the addition that India is already a market economy.

• Sharma, Shailendra D

While reforming India's "inward-oriented" commandist economy has not been easy, some important, indeed irreversible changes have been introduced.

Once again, he doesn't say anywhere that India has already become a market economy. The paper is about the political economy in India, tracing how the strategy of the political elite changed over the time. The paper does not attempt to describe the actual state of the economy.

• Sharma, Chanchal Kumar

precise mechanism that has controlled the transition of the economic system in India from a command economy to a free market economy

This is a review paper with 10 cites, which generally follows the same ground as the one before in tracing the political decision making. Note that the author is a Political Science professor. Author appears to be using the term loosely (nobody can say India is a free market economy). There are other instances - like his description of South Korea as a market economy - of imprecise language which coupled with the cite count, journal etc do not make this reliable or authoritative for the purpose of describing India's economy at present.

• Chandrasekhar, C. P. - Another political economy paper. I'm unable to access, but seeing that it has a single cite, I do not expect it to be useful in this context.
• Budhwar, Pawan - An article from a business school lecturer, which goes into things like business hours, electricty voltages etc that is written as an introduction to India for businesses. Neither scholarly nor authoritative, but note that he says "a quasi-free market economy"
• Panagariya, Arvind - Search on google books didn't throw up any relevant passage. Please quote the part which supports describing India as market economy.

Overall the consensus is that India is a mixed economy which is on a path to less government intervention. Even if we disregard the inappropriateness and the poor quality, you do not appear to have actually gone through the sources you've used. The last line in your reply above cause me great apprehension about your ability to comprehend the nuances involved here. Hemantha (talk) 12:57, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

References

There hasn't been any consensus on this issue. And who said @Hemantha: these are all poor quality sources. These source are all from research scholars. Unfortunately Wikipedia has been filled with illiterates and half-literates like you. But in Encyclopædia Britannica most editors scholars or Nobel laurates. Now I'm not interested in personal attacks. Fact of the matter its difficult for socialist like you to digest India has become a free market economy. Even though sources are reiterating multiple times. Check this Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Source 4 Source 5 Source 6 Source 7 Source 8 Source 9 Source 10 Source 11 Source 12Source Source Source 13 Source 14 Source 15 Source 16 Source 17 Source 18 Source 19 Source 20 Read all these source oh by the you don't have full access to these sources unless your research scholars/academician who have paid account to these articles. Every authors has mentioned how India's made radical transformation after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and at that time India got bankrupt and then adapting free market principals India has made huge transformation. Now in ideal situation in every nation has adapted "market economy" but all nations have some state regulations. Even in U.S., Europe or Japan for instance they have free market still some degree of government regulation still remain. When recession or depression happens fiscal or monetary intervention are required either from state or reserve banks. Like in 2008 global financial crisis massive fiscal stimulus packages were announced from governments across the world. The main point is all countries work under free market principals. Guys read the whole book of Arvind Panagariya he has mentioned how India has adapted free market. Thanks--Mariam57 (talk) 16:26, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Haha, I have half a mind to add "half-literate socialist" to my user page. On a serious note, instead of dumping hits from a Google Scholar search for "India free market economy" (atleast 5 out of first 9 links are from the first page there), please add relevant quotes which support calling India a market economy. For eg, Montek Singh Ahluwalia's paper says right at the beginning - India’s gradualist approach to reform, which has meant a frustratingly slow pace of implementation, illustrating once again the scholarly opinion that India is only slowly progressing towards becoming a market economy. Hemantha (talk) 17:03, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

It doesn't matter from where the sources belong so long as the sources are reliable or at least scholarly level written by academicians then its fine. As I said read the whole book of Arvind Panagariya you'll know in most pages he clearly mentioned India has transitioned from socialist-oriented mixed economy to free market economy. I'm pretty sure you haven't read the other sources in depth. First read the above sources properly then come to challenge me. Fact of the matter is you guys don't have the habit or patience to read articles or books. And try to engage into an argument. Rather than wasting too much time to Twitter or Facebook read books or articles. You'll understand and know lot of things. Read the book of Arvind Panagariya. And if possible read other sources which I provided then come to challenge me. If you want then I can provide you with more scholarly sources. Just free advice from me take it or throw it; read read & read. Thanks You!--Mariam57 (talk) 03:24, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Your continued personal attacks and WP:STONEWALLING by a stubborn refusal to bring a single quote despite multiple specific requests, shows that you either haven't read the sources you've dumped here or that you aren't willing to engage in a productive discussion. Either way, there is no use in prolonging this discussion. Hemantha (talk) 09:19, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

The problem lies with you. The fact of the matter is you haven't read a single source properly and came here to argue with me. First read all the sources then come here to argue. And by the way I haven't made any personal attack its you who is making all sort of personal attacks. Look ignorant people like you are ultimate blabbers.

Semi-protected edit request on 28 March 2023

In the article " Economy of India " , 2022 data is still showing in the article. The same source that is cited shows Indian GDP at 3.82 trillion , which is not updated yet. Kindly update the number based on the same source provided for it. Sidram1809 (talk) 18:47, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

In progress: An editor is implementing the requested edit. Guessitsavis (talk) 22:13, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: At least from what I saw, GDPs are not typically updated until the period they would be updated for had past. I could definitely be wrong, and please feel free to correct me. Guessitsavis (talk) 22:55, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Edit India's GDP PPP figures:

In "Statistics" section of "Economy of India" page India's GDP PPP is shown $11.851 Trillion (as of 2022) but in "Data" section of the same page India's GDP PPP for 2022 is shown as $11.665 Trillion.

So I request to change India's GDP PPP to new $11.851 Trillion in "Data" section.

I also request to adjust India's future GDP PPP projections (from 2023 to 2027) according to India's GDP PPP in 2022.

For Eg: If lets say India's GDP PPP growth rate is 10% in 2023 than according to GDP PPP of $11.851 Trillion in 2022 the GDP PPP of India for the year 2023 should be written as $13.0361 Trillion instead of present projection of $12.813 Trillion.

 Done Dinesh | Talk 15:39, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Sir I have said "For Eg: let's say India's GDP PPP growth rate is 10%", it was just an example, you should not have changed India's GDP PPP figures to $13.0361 Trillion because I was very obviously giving an example, $13.0361 Trillion is not correct GDP PPP of India (2023), this figure was just an example which I was giving to help people understand what I want to say in an easy way.

Please Sir read my original comment thoroughly and understand what I really meant to say.

Let me tell you whole context:

• Initially India's GDP PPP was $11.665 Trillion, than a person came and changed India's GDP PPP figures to $11.851 Trillion, and I noticed that, So to make "Economy of India" webpage up to date I recommended few suggestions like:

Updating of GDP PPP figures in "Data" section of the same webpage, because that person have updated only "Statistics" section and not "Data" section.

•What I was saying is that: "Let's say India's GDP PPP growth rate is 10%" notice I was saying "let's say" ,i.e. I only want you to assume, the real GDP PPP growth rate of India for the year 2023 was to be determined by using either maths formula or by some source on the internet.

Please Sir I request you or anyone who is reading this, to update "Economy of India" web page to new, appropriate and up to date data.

Thanks KrishanVerma171 (talk) 16:16, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

India is 3rd Largest Consumer Market not 6th.

The source in the article for the claim that India is 6th Largest is Nominal Household Expenditure not PPP Household Expenditure. According to PPP Household Expenditure India is 3rd Largest Consumer Market. Using Nominal Household Expenditure as a measure of how Large or Small a Consumer Market of a Country requires the Assumption that the Law of One Price is True or (Approximately True).

While Assuming LOP Holds is Reasonable to Make for Tradable Goods it doesn't hold for Non-Tradable Goods and Services as the Prices of Non-Tradables Deviate Heavily from Law of One Price (Presumably Due to Balassa–Samuelson Effect) Hence the Size of Rich Countries Consumer Market would be Over-Estimated Significantly and Size of Poor Countries Consumer Market would be Under-Estimated Significantly if Household Expenditure of Various Countries Consists Mainly of Non-Tradable Goods and Services.

Hence due to this Assumption being Likely Incorrect I suggest replacing the Text in the Article with the Correct Description that India is 3rd Largest Consumer Market.

Thanks.

What you are doing is what Wikipedia calls "original research". In other words, you are drawing your own conclusions from the sources. If your conclusions are reasonable, there will be reliable published sources that explicitly make the same conclusions. You need to see whether this is the case, and then come back citing those sources, and with quotations from those sources.-- Toddy1 (talk) 14:15, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Sir with due respect thanks for reply but its well known that Law of One Price is not applicable for Non-Tradable Goods and Services. Its called the Penn/Balassa Samuelson Effect. Its the main reason Purchasing Power Parities were invented. But the source for this is right on the World Bank page I linked earlier. Make sure to click "Details" 45.251.35.232 (talk) 20:22, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

"Typically, higher income countries have higher price levels, while lower income countries have lower price levels (Balassa-Samuelson effect). Market exchange rate-based cross-country comparisons of GDP at its expenditure components reflect both differences in economic outputs (volumes) and prices. Given the differences in price levels, the size of higher income countries is inflated, while the size of lower income countries is depressed in the comparison. PPP-based cross-country comparisons of GDP at its expenditure components only reflect differences in economic outputs (volume), as PPPs control for price level differences between the countries. Hence, the comparison reflects the real size of the countries. For more information on underlying households and NPISHs final consumption expenditure in local currency, please refer to the metadata for "Households and NPISHs Final consumption expenditure, PPP (current international $)" [NE.CON.PRVT.PP.CD]. For more information on underlying PPP conversion factor, please refer to the metadata for "PPP conversion factor, private consumption (LCU per international $)" [PA.NUS.PRVT.PP].

Image in the infobox

​​ There is a dispute over the image in the infobox. Both images are from commons. A user claims that the bottom image is blurry, and that the top image is therefore better. But in reality they are about equal there, assuming that the purpose of the image is to show the city and not the fine detail of a building in the foreground. The blue image looks nicer. The thing that worries me is that neither image has metadata.-- Toddy1 (talk) 14:34, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Please tell me how the image you re-inserted is "no more blurred" than the one I prefer, as stated in your edit summary.

I'm not saying that my added image is super sharp high-resolution either, but the other one is basically just a bunch of severely washed out skyscrapers in the far background of which one can barely make out any distinct structural features.

"Image x/y looks nicer" is a subjective opinion and not a valid argument. I don't want to start arguing on an aesthetic ground in the first place, but in my opinion, the blue background image could literally be an AI-generated skyline image of basically any city as it doesn't stand out regarding anything (except of course being extremely blurry), thus making such an image rather meaningless and quite interchangeable.

As far as objective yardsticks go, the other image is clearly superior in every respect: It's much sharper and shows more distinct buildings of the city in a clearer manner, while also focusing more on the actual skyline.-- Maxeto0910 (talk) 14:44, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

They are both images of the skyline - so the objective standard of sharpness is looking at the buildings on the skyline. That the buildings in the foreground are sharper in the top one is not an advantage in a photograph of the skyline.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:32, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

The exact same thing can be said about the smaller buildings at the bottom of the other image. Aside from that, even the buildings in the background of my suggested image are far less washed out than the clearest buildings of the other image.—- Maxeto0910 (talk) 20:45, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Mumbai Skyline Image Reverted Again

I am not sure why people keep reverting the image of the Mumbai skyline to something else. The previous version of the image was much better and potrayed the city as a large metropolis. The new image is a bunch of 4 random buildings. Can someone please update it and lock it such that it cant be changes by any random person? 2406:3003:2007:4A5:A049:7446:5BC2:A6C4 (talk) 00:11, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm not exactly clear what the complaint is ~ first off there is no image captioned Mumbai skyline in the article, so i have to guess; guessing, i imagine you are concerned about the infobox image, which is currently the second of the two above. If i am correct in my guess, i would say that it has been reverted because that (the current) image is a longer-term one, so any discussion about removing or replacing it should take place here, and the only discussion currently on the page, above, comes to no conclusion at all, indicating that there is no consensus to have the brightly coloured image instead of the bluer one. The only reason i fear i may have misunderstood entirely is that neither image is a bunch of 4 random buildings, nor do i see any such image in the article as a whole. Happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 16:29, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

"A bunch of 4 random buildings" in the part of Mumbai known as "Worli". The photograph was taken from Lal Bahadur Shastri Road [LBS Marg] on 25 March 2023.

@LindsayH: The version of the article being complained about this was this one. The picture described as a bunch of 4 random buildings shows buildings in Worli.-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:58, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Request for Updated GDP Figures for India in FY 2024-25 According to IMF Data

It has come to our attention that the GDP figures for India in the fiscal year 2024-25 have not been updated to reflect the latest data provided by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Several countries, including USA China, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and many others, have already updated their GDP figures according to the IMF's October report. However, India's GDP figures remain unchanged.

We request that the GDP figures for India be revised to align with the latest data provided by the IMF for transparency and accuracy. It is puzzling why there seems to be reluctance to update India's GDP figures when other countries have done so without issue. We believe that all countries should be treated equally in terms of data reporting and urge for prompt action to ensure consistency and reliability in economic data. Both India Wikipedia page and Economy of India Wikipedia should be updated. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 2402:8100:26E1:592F:F0B2:E112:AC92:65B (talk) 06:45, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

You're the only one who is opposing it. The request to change the data is already made. I just don't get it why do you have problem with only Indian economy? The rest of the pages of economy of different countries is already updated with the same reference of IMF 's October report. TheDarkKnight433 (talk) 09:34, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

If other articles are using projections instead of actual figures, you should go to the talk pages of those articles and request that actual figures be used instead. This isn't an anti-India issue. a331dot (talk) 09:50, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

It's not possible to go and talk to 100s of Wikipedia page using the same source. Instead, this is the best option to update the figure of Indian economy. TheDarkKnight433 (talk) 09:59, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

It is possible- but if this is an issue across many articles you could open up a single discussion in a central forum like the Village Pump. 331dot (talk) 10:01, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Do you represent the Indian government? 331dot (talk) 09:52, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

The GDP figures for India in 2023-24 were also estimates or based on projections, as the Indian government typically provides GDP growth estimates rather than exact figures. Given this uncertainty and the lack of precise data from the Indian government, it is logical to treat the 2023 estimates of IMF also as potentially inaccurate or subject to revision. Therefore, the 2023 updates is also wrong to add here.

In conclusion, since only the IMF and World Bank possess the mystical powers to bestow upon us the sacred knowledge of economic data, it seems fitting to remove the GDP section from Wikipedia pages altogether. After all, why bother with pesky projections when we can bask in the glory of uncertainty and ambiguity? Let's embrace the void and bid farewell to the illusion of precision in economic reporting. Its best to close this discussion here as no solution will come out of it. Thank you for your help and discussion. TheDarkKnight433 (talk) 10:31, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

You didn't answer my question. Do you represent or work for the Indian government? 331dot (talk) 12:40, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

What if I say yes? Does that even matter? You're not even solving my query instead you're making it unnecessary more complex. TheDarkKnight433 (talk) 15:11, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

This section leads off with "It has come to our attention". You also say later "we request" and "we believe" so you represent or are associated with some sort of group or organization. It does matter because if that group has some interest in this topic it could require you to disclose a conflict of interest and/or a paid relationship with the topic. Disclosing a paid relationship is a Terms of Use requirement. If you do not give a yes or no answer, I will interpret that as a yes. 331dot (talk) 15:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

No, I'm not associated with any group. TheDarkKnight433 (talk) 15:36, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Why did you say "our" and "we"? 331dot (talk) 15:41, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

My mistake. I'm new here and learning. TheDarkKnight433 (talk) 15:45, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Okay. You will greatly increase the chance your request will be acted on if you make it more specific, in a "change X to Y" format. Just saying "update this" is unlikely to work. You must tell us what you want done and offer sources. 331dot (talk) 15:47, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the info. TheDarkKnight433 (talk) 15:55, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

I propose updating the economy section of the India page to reflect the latest data, as several other countries have already done so. This update will enhance the transparency and accuracy of the information provided, ensuring reliability for Wikipedia readers. Thank you. TheDarkKnight433 (talk) 09:54, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

The edit request process is for proposing specific edits, not a general request of "update this". See the Wikipedia:General disclaimer; Wikipedia does not guarantee reliability. This is a volunteer project that is not always consistent with updates. 331dot (talk) 10:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Some historians claim

​An editor has changed

• Historians Tapan Raychaudhuri and Irfan Habib claim this state patronage for overseas trade came to an end by the thirteenth century ...

to

• Some historians claim this state patronage for overseas trade came to an end by the thirteenth century ...

An obvious objection to the edit is MOS:WEASEL. But there is a citation for the sentence in the article, though if we remove the names, it is unclear whether the citation supports the fact that "some historians" say this, or whether the citation is to a work by the historians in question (the latter is the case).

But MOS:CLAIM is a much bigger objection. The sentence has been written as an expression of doubt. That doubt would be OK, if the Wikipedia article were giving a contrary view, or giving good reasons for that doubt. But that is not the case.

I propose that we change the sentence to: This state patronage for overseas trade came to an end by the thirteenth century ... -- Toddy1 (talk) 04:53, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

trade data

new trade data for FY 2023-24 has been released today the infobox ought to be updated. https://pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2017942 DataCrusade1999 (talk) 14:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Regarding GDP figures

I said this above and I'll say it here too.

I think the infobox should be updated now to reflect FY 2024-25 figures from IMF.

But I'm inclined for the infobox to be updated after 15 April-2024 because then we would have the data of total Import and Export also.

Regarding the apprehension that some have displayed with regards to IMF figures being predictions and all. I would like to remind everyone that according to Indian governments own estimates the economy isn't 3.7 trillion dollars it's bit less than 3.7 this data can be seen in the latest GDP data on MOSPI website. So if we truly want to have pinpoint accuracy then we should use that data and anyways the actual figures regarding the true size of the GDP come with a 2 year lag earlier it used to be 3 but Government scrapped further revision to the estimates after 2 year here is the link.https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/mospi-reduces-no-of-gdp-estimates-timeline-by-a-year/articleshow/108083104.cms?from=mdr.

Seems like someone has updated the GDP figures in infobox to 2024 but the data does not match what is available in the source link. The source being sighted lists 2024 GDP as $4.105 trillion and not the currently displayed $3.937 trillion. Could someone please update this? 203.116.193.193 (talk) 02:57, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
