The details of the great escape of Thai junior football team and their coach 'wild boars' are emerging out slowly. The boys and their coach entered the caves to explore on June 23rd and were trapped deep inside the cave complex as rains flooded the caves. Till July 2nd their whereabouts were not known. The British divers found them alive on a ledge in darkness. What struck the divers is their calm demeanour. In spite of staying in the darkness and with very low levels of food the boys did not panic. There is a reason for that. When the wild boars were found they were all meditating.

According to the figures released by World Bank for the year 2017 India has emerged as the sixth largest economy by surpassing France. India's GDP worked out to be $2.597 trillion in comparison to France's $2.582 trillion. India's growth was stunted as a result of some of PM Modi's reforms such as demonetization and faulty implementation of new tax regime, Goods and Services Tax. Only last year the economy picked up and the recovery can be gauged by the increased GDP. The comparison with France is lopsided as the population of India is around 1.34 billion, almost twice as that of France's 67 million people. So the per capita income of Indians is 20 times lower than that of France. There is tremendous growth impetus in Manufacturing and Consumer spending that acted as main drivers of the economy in the latter half of the year 2017. India's GDP had doubled within the last decade propelling it as an economic power to reckon with in Asia. International Monetary Fund has projected that India will have a healthy 7.4% growth rate and it may well reach 7.8% by 2019 due to household spending and tax reform. This is far higher than the world's expected average 3.9% growth rate. According to London-based Centre for Economics and Business Research, a consultancy, India may even overtake both Britain and France in terms of GDP by the end of 2018. They predict that India may become the third largest economy by 2032.
