Islam or Christian economy???
- Have you ever heard a term called "Christian economy" or "Islamic Economy"?
- Never, because when we talk about ECONOMY of a Nation, participation from everyone count in
- This unique thing is only found in SANATAN
Sanatan economy
- SANATN is not a religion, Growth doesn't come when you are driven by a rule book, it comes when people are empowered in their own choosen skill set
- I am quite sure before 2060 Bharat will be number one economy in the World based on Sanatan. and my logic is not the we will have some out of world innovation but the day 80% Hindus wake up and start contributing to Nation growth
- BHARAT can only grow when we start making finished goods. Service sector is always a support sector, fundamental is manufacturing finished goods
- The other logic is that Bharat is a unique and one of its kind country in the World where it has huge potential to produce finished goods for the World but also a huge population within country to consume it
- The day Hindus stop abusing itself and start carrying pride of Sanatan on their foreheads, rest assured BHARAT is born. DGP
