1947, India was the jewel in the crown of the British Empire, an important military resource in a location of great geostrategic significance. But the Cold War diminished India’s importance. Because it did not play a significant role in the balance of power between the Soviet Union and the Western alliance, the superpowers often took India for granted. At most, the two sides saw India as a potential counter to the People’s Republic of China on the international chessboard-but only one of several. ] (]) 17:01, 19 April 2022 (UTC) |

I believe we should change the fact that it says "India is a fast growing major energy" to "India is the fsstest growing major economy" which has been mistakenly been said in China's page even though China doesn't have the fastest growing major economy. |

Minor edit suggestion: Currently the lead reads "It is the seventh-largest country in the world by area and the most populous country.".

I had made a recent edit however Fowler&Fowler seems to think he runs the website! I understand he is more senior than me but that doesn't give him the right to call my edits nonsense. The edit I had made was factual and not "nonsense" as he so rudely described. Please do a fact check if you don't believe me. May I suggest we keep the edit I made with the addition that India however does have an overall low GDP per Capita? Thank you :) ] (]) 20:58, 2 May 2022 (UTC) |

You were not just editing the article directly, but the lead, which is a distilled summary of the distilled article.

::I agree with F&f that the amounted to POV boosterism. Some of the individual points (such as nominal or PPP GDP) are perhaps worth adding but they are best incorporated to blend in with the existing language ({{tq|During the same time, its nominal per capita income increased from US$64 annually to US$1,498, and its literacy rate from 16.6% to 74%.

::Not currently convinced that the military size, budget or the nuclear-weapon power status is lede worthy.

:::I see your point about history dominating the lede, and perhaps we can think about how the fourth para can be expanded a bit to better summarize the rest of the article (not necessarily in terms of India's strengths and weaknesses although that's one possibility). On the flip side, unlike history, the rest of the article is hard to summarize in narrative form and attempts to give it more weight in the lede might just lead to listing random facts in a sea of blue-links.

I propose that we talk about India's economy in terms of GDP and purchasing parity power etc. Other countries with large economies such as the USA, Japan, China, Germany, and the UK follow this pattern however India does not seem to. It would make sense for India's page to do the same. I propose that we include the edit I made. Yes India is a poor country however we should show a balance and it is important as India continues to grow. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 18:27, 18 May 2022 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:It is not a matter about which we can vote among ourselves.

In India's last census, 22% of its citizens were found to live below the poverty line of $1.90 per day at 2011 prices in contrast to the L-MI average of 10.9% in 2018, and 0% for Germany, a high-income country. India's life expectancy at birth is 70 years in contrast to the L-MI average of 69, and the German average of 81. Its population is 1.38 billion in contrast to the total L-MI population of 3.33 billion, and Germany's population of 83 million. India's 2020 per capita income was $1,927.7 in contrast to the L-MI average of $2,217.2, and the German of $46,252.7.

Just change the language of "Hindi" to "Hindustani". Both are the same |

"The rights promised to Indians were granted slowly, but technological changes were introduced, and ideas of education, modernity and the public life took root." This sentence misleadingly implies that ideas of education and public life were not already widely circulating in pre-colonial India. The use of the "but" and missing subject in "right promised to Indians were granted slowly" also seem like a questionable way of almost ''softening'' the exploitative reality of colonial rule on the country. I suggest changing the sentence to: "British Crown rule began in 1858, introducing ideas of ] to the nation. The British administration granted the rights it promised to Indians slowly, leading to a pioneering and influential ] and the eventual dissolution of British rule." --] (]) 17:05, 27 May 2022 (UTC) |
