hahahah what a reply whiteguy... u seem too stressed over ur studies... relax
The stats do look fuzzy.. but since India has a huge population + immigration record to MEDCs, I guess some of the stats work out proportionally.
One of the 'facts' did make me laugh though...
"Christopher Columbus was attracted by India's wealth and was looking for route to India when he discovered America by mistake."...... umm so let me guess which is the wealthiest and strongest country in the world now
May I add that Indian subcontinent 'back then' was a 'predominantly rich region' ruled by Muslim emperors + the Bengal was a flourished part of this region.
