Indian elections: The real story behind India's economic growth | India Votes 2024
The final episode of India Votes 2024 looks at the nation’s economic boom as it heads towards becoming the world’s third-largest economy. Prime Minister Modi wants India’s GDP to hit $US7 trillion by the end of this decade. Despite the growth, the question is who is benefitting? We’ll be heading into Dharavi, India’s largest slum to gauge the views of struggling workers and families who will be casting their votes in this massive election. Finally, we hear from India’s youth to understand why a significantly smaller proportion of young Indians are exercising their democratic rights to cast their ballots.
INDIA VOTES 2024, presented by the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) is a six-episode series that takes you on an insightful journey through the heart of Indian democracy. While the Indian Prime Minister #NarendraModi is seeking a third term, a brand new Coalition is on the bloc - the I.N.D.I.A (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) featuring key opposition leaders such as Congress scion Rahul Gandhi, TMC leader Mamata Banerjee, and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal among many others.
INDIA VOTES 2024 goes beyond the headline and daily coverage to explain critical topics and issues facing Indian voters as they participate in the elections of the world’s largest democracy.

Not only modi. Opposition also are using religion and caste in politics. Why haven't you shown that? If modi is hindu right. Oppositions are muslim right. Try to be neutral while accusing others of being not neutral. Modi gets in fact sweeps the urban areas. It's BJP's bastion. And youth,middle class are BJP's voters.

Dharavi is a must thing that's the only thing westerners know and wants to know about India, Westerners they themselves are the biggest capitalists nd market oriented society but want country like India to be runned only by Government Babus,in India everyone wants to join govt. job because that's the only job where u don't have to work for ur salary but when u work u demand extra convinience fee which we call corruption, There is plethra of jobs in private sectors which people doesn't desire and the high paying private jobs are not their cup of tea, getting a graduate degree in India is no hardship,most of the graduates are not skilled nd lacks basic knowledge and capability, because of which they go for govt. jobs nd that's the reality,,,,,

What about lower inflation compared to to last… economists are liar … growth can’t be seen without inflation… if u grow at 10% and inflation is 11% what’s the point of 10% gdp ?

A lot of thanks to ABC for bringing this lovely report. I think you have hit the problem right on its head - India's demographic dividend cannot be harnessed only through gainful employment. BJP missed the whole point, they did not address this problem adequately. Loved the young people from Delhi - they are so eloquent. I hope you bring out more reports like this - not only Dharavi but many other places.
A good and realistic research and presentation
If India has a population of 1.4 Billion , you cant be so biased in your reporting of unemployment , what government is going to be able to fulfil employment needs of a population of 1.4 Billion , No economist is seriously going to have a economic plan without suggesting the obvious , The Population needs lowering .

The truth is 10 years ago when we looked at other nations and their we Indians thought ithese things are unacheivable for us atleast for the next 50-60 years. But in the last 10 years our growth has been exponantial coupled with big foreign investments that we do not look to other countries or compare with them. In fact we can do much better than them. Whether its digitalization, tourism, space mission , connectivity through roads, and ports, infrasturcture development , far better foreign relations or gdp India is moving faster. It has been because of BJP and Modi Ji. No other party in the past had the guts to take such risks. But some media otulets cannot digest it. Keep playing this propaganda we are immune to such things and our vote will always go to bjp. And Modi is not just a name Its a brand.
Tesla is projected to have 1 Billion Optimus bots by 2030 and China will surely have even more than that. The demographic ‘dividend’ will be a nightmare when most jobs are replaced by robots. Robots can work 24-7. Robots can be instantly upgraded via software. They work in weekends and public holidays. They can work without the lights or toilet breaks. Unemployment is already a massive issue in India and even more so in the future.
