Its the world's largest democracy and is a free market capitalist economy with no social welfare system. It is only poor because the European colonial powers robbed all its wealth... eg Bengal (now Bangladesh & the State of Bengal in India) was one of the richest countries in Asia before the British got there. It had huge textile industries and grew masses of Hemp. The British demolished the country with extreme violence as it wanted no competition for its emerging textile industry in the UK. Its no coincidence that the poorest parts of India are the parts where the UK was in power the longest. It is recovering however and is one of fastest growing economies in the world. It has the world's largest "middle class" a market of 400,000,000 people with incomes comparable to other countries and is a huge emerging market. Its also a really nice country to visit with a lower crime rate than European countries.
