However, Datta strips away this superficial myth-making to deliver a grounding reality check. While macro-indicators confirm that India is the world's fastest-growing large economy—firmly on track to surpass the $5 trillion milestone and secure its place among the top three global economies by GDP—this massive aggregate wealth conceals a deeply unpalatable truth: India continues to house one of the largest populations of impoverished people on earth, a reality that is highly likely to persist when the nation turns 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe crux of the book lies in a critical economic distinction: a rich \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"69\"\u003ecountry\u003c\/i\u003e is not the same as a country of rich \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"114\"\u003ecitizens\u003c\/i\u003e.
