印度前总理纳拉辛哈?拉奥1991年进行经济改革至今已25年。《印度经济时报》7月6日刊文对此表示纪念，文章指出，这25年间，印度发生了天翻地覆的变化，尤其是经济迅速增长，已从当年贫穷国一跃成为世界级超级大国。

文章称，印度现已“自豪地”成为G20成员国，世界最强国家之一。而1991年,印度还只是G77发展中国家集团的一员。还是世界上最臭名昭著的“乞丐国”,是吸纳外国援助款的一个“无底洞”。但如今，印度已摇身变为救助款捐赠国。

1991年,印度在世界上的地位无足轻重。如今，以购买力平价计算,印度成为继中国和美国之后的世界第三大经济体，超过日本和欧洲国家。现在，印度的经济增长速度也超过中国，成为增速最快的主要经济体。国际货币基金组织在《世界经济展望》中，将美国和印度描绘成支撑世界摇摆经济的两大支柱。

文章说，印度在历史上一直是经济落后的国家。几十年来,每年增长率仅3.5%,一度被嘲弄地称为“印度经济增长率”。1991年，印度开始实行经济改革，经济迅速增长。2003年后，平均增长速度达8%。

经济增长也让民众受惠。2004年至2011年，1.38亿印度人脱离贫困线。中国此前被称赞从1978到2002之间实现2.2亿人脱离贫困线。但实际上，印度的减贫速度明显比中国“快得多”。

文章说，1991年前,如果没有季风，印度就会请求粮食援助。粮食的绿色革命改变了这种现状。1991年之后，印度的私人种子产量进一步提高。即使遭受连续干旱，印度仍然能实现粮食出口。2014年，印度成为世界上最大的稻米出口国。1991年,印度才有固定电话。今天,印度拥有十亿人使用手机。即使在贫困线以下人都有手机。

文章认为，尽管印度还存在许多缺陷。但未来，印度一定能实现更好的治理,更好的社会服务和更高质量的独立机构。(实习编译 琚燕芳 审稿 谭利娅)

希望莫迪能成功。
人们必须给以权力支持，不要对腐败让步

Its an eye opener for many of us to see what we were in 1991 and what we are today. With Modi as PM we will do much much better in three years before his second term which is guaranteed at the pace he is working he would be there

如果说这是莫迪效应，你们会同意吗，还是说仍然觉得这是国大党政府把接力棒传给他？

India needs to boast less and work more. Opposition must cooperate with govt in power which is big IF.Keep politics aside, work for nation”s progress. One field in which nothing seems to have been done in last 2 years by Modi government is lethargic legal system and justice-delays. Let us see what new minister does?

印度应少说多做。
反对派必须和政府合作，致力于推动国家的进步。
有一个领域是莫迪政府过去2年里毫无建树的，那就是法律制度和司法拖延
新的部长将如何改革，让我们拭目以待

之所以能成为超级大国，那是各政党的功劳，不单是人民党的功劳。

First part of the title is correct , we being super power is dead wrong. We are nowhere near being superpower. Average income of $ 1600 is lower middle class grouping.

印度从来不是乞丐
有些国家自愿援助我们，不能说是我们乞讨。
事实上，印度是唯一承诺用黄金来担保进口商品的国家，许多其他国家支付违约，而印度从没出现这个问题
