The term was coined by the Indian economist Raj Krishna in the 1970s to describe the slow rate of economic growth in India during that time period. The concept and idea of Hindu Rate of Growth has created much confusion among people and in this article we try to make it clear. During the period of the "Hindu rate of growth," India's economy grew at an average rate of around 3.5% per year, which was considered slow compared to other developing countries.

However, in recent years, India's economy has undergone significant reforms and liberalization, resulting in much higher growth rates. Today, India is one of the fastest-growing m...
