Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.
The Indian economy is the world's tenth-largest by nominal GDP and third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP).
Following market-based economic
Reforms in 1991, India became one of the fastest- rowing major economies; it is considered a newly industrialised country.
However, it continues to face the challenges of
Poverty, corruption, malnutrition, inadequate public
Healthcare and terrorism.
