What makes Indian Economy distinctive from other developing economies ?


In order to understand what makes India's economy so special in terms of a developing economies, first we need to understand what is a developing economy. 

A developing economy is characterized by
  •  low standard of living
  • less developed infrastructure and 
  • developing economies tend to have high birth rate, high death rate, shorter life span, low HDI, poor per capita income, more inclination towards agriculture sector than the industrial and service sector. 

A Developing economy is called an emerging economy that shows a steady and rapid growth. India and china are the best examples of emerging economies.
