Surpassing the UK to become the world's fifth largest economy is special because India has left behind those who ruled it for 250 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on September 5, 2022.
According to International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections, India has overtaken the U.K. to become the world's fifth-largest economy and is now behind only the US, China, Japan and Germany.
The Prime Minister, who was interacting with National Teacher Award winners, said the country has broken the shackles of thousands of years of slavery and will only move forward.
