India’s GDP Debate Turns Toward Human Flourishing

GDP is a number that measures how much an economy produces.

India’s growth numbers have led to debates among economists and political groups.

Vivek Singhal says the argument should be about more than whether the numbers are correct.

He believes people should also ask whether the economy is improving people’s lives.

Singhal calls his idea “Dharma Capitalism.”

This idea says markets, money, and technology should help people become more capable.

He says building factories and roads can support families, workers, entrepreneurs, and consumers.

GDP is still useful, but it cannot show everything, such as dignity, trust, or human ability.

Singhal believes India should seek human flourishing, not only higher global rankings.
