Essays for IBPS PO VII : India - As the Next Global Leader

Leave a Comment

India : As the Next Global Leader

Main Points to Highlight : Since independence India became part of all important international organizations and plays a significant role in the creation of non-aligned movement during the Russian- USA cold war period. Now India is member of major international organization such as UNO, World Bank, IMF; UNESCO, UNICEF; ILO, WTO, and FATF etc. Currently India is a non permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for two years fin- which the election was held this year. In that election she got a record 189 votes. Only four countries voted against. This shows India's popularity throughout the world. In the first three to four decade after independence India could not play any major role on the international front affairs due to fragile economic condition and involvement in three major wars: two with Pakistan and one with China. India was mostly dependent on foreign aid for its socioeconomic and infrastructure development, but after 1991 economic liberalization she has become a major contributor of aid to the third world countries. In 2008 India achieved a remarkable feat by becoming a trillion dollar economy. Currently India is at the cynosure of the world leaderfor its contribution to each and every continent of the globe. Indian CAG (Controller and Auditor General) which is another example of a unique institution in the field of auditappointed as the external auditor of two major UN organizations: (International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) and World Intellectual Property Right (W1PR).

In the 20th century entire world considered USA, Russia, Japan and some of the European countries as the global leaders. But in the 21st century two more countries from Asia emerged as the global leader that is India and China. Question is: who is a global leader? Though, there is no clear cut definition, a global leader is one who can play a major role in world affairs, work for maintaining peace and tranquility and can extend all type of help in preventing global crisis such as climate change, food insecurity, hunger, poverty etc.

As mentioned above India emerged as a global leader in the 21st century due to it's all round development. Thereafter she never looked back and made rapid progress in the growth trajectory. First of all entire credit goes to her founding fathers and constitution writers. They did not left any loophole in the constitution. They established a responsible legislative body to make law and new policy, an executive body to execute various policy enacted by legislation and an independent judiciary to safe guard the constitution and the fundamental rights of each citizen. No individual or politician in India can take the power and law in hand at will like what is happening in African countries or even in Pakistan. Pakistan is a country got freedom with India but the military power there has the power to topple the civilian government creating instability. But this is not the case with India. Great Indian leaders made a system by amalgamating the best features of other democratic countries. That is why India is known as one of the stable countries of the world.

Essays for IBPS PO VII : Slowdown of Indian Economy and Improvement

1 comment

Slowdown of Indian Economy and Improvement


Main Points to Highlight : The Indian economy exemplified as a success story of the third world economies just a couple of years ago is at crossroads today limping at a pace slowest in almost a decade showing signs of drifting towards the pre 1991 era. Ironically, the man who steered us clear of the 1991 storm, and is at the helm of affairs now is helpless and at loggerheads owing to constant accusations of policy paralysis, corruption allegations and leadership crises weighing down his options. Some of the factors are: high and constantly increasing Current Account Deficit (CAD); sharp deceleration of industrial production; India's expansionary fiscal policy and global financial crisis. Some hoard of measures that can be implemented to bring everything under control. 

Indian economy is described as an economy which is tenth largest in the world by nominal GDP and third largest in terms of purchasing power parity. This economy was growing at a fast pace in recent past has been plagued by such a slowdown that our currency is on a free-fall and it is not able to ascertain its lower limit. 

Economy of a country depends on number of factors which are divided in three general categories like Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. Over independence-era, Indian economy till 1991 was based on a mixed economy which combines the features of capitalism and socialism resulting in interventionist policies and import substituting economy. This economy has always given much emphasis on agriculture which is called as backbone of the nation as the percentage of people dependent on it is approximately 60% of the total population. But the misery is that its contribution in total GDP of the nation is less than 10%. 

Looking on the various sectors that contribute to make the Indian economy like agriculture, trade, services etc. In context of Indian economy, the most important one is the trade aspect that consists of import, export and various business processes. Trade aspect alternately tells us about the industrial growth of a nation and its dependence on other nation. Recent slowdown of economy is attributed to the fact that import has exceeded the level of export that lead to heavy deficit of balance of trade.
