I don't intend this post to be a pitch for Modi. Neither do I want to sound like a Ministry of Information and Broadcasting promotional piece. Rather, my objective is to  make a "hard" assessment of where India@76 stands in a "slowing" world. Simply put, the "powers" which powered global growth for the better part of three to five decades are now out of fuel, whereas the Indian Economy has the "stamina" and the will to take over from them. Perhaps this is the intention behind all the Western and Global investors as they "talk up" India.
