The irony of this term must be noted

Any discussion of the term "Hindu rate of growth" is incomplete without noting that the government of India was in no way connected to Hindu thought or practice during the time in question. Jawaharlal Nehru, who single-handedly set the socialist and non-aligned policies of India, was anything but a Hindu in outlook. Moreover, it is extremely disturbing that a term that denounces and ridicules a billion Hindus should continue to exist. No one talks of a socialist or Communist or Jewish rate of growth. Only Hindus are defamed in this manner. Sooku (talk) 04:42, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Biased citation

"The usage of the term has been criticized by modern economists due to fact that cause of low growth was failed socialist model and economic mismanagement "

This line has been cited from an article that starts with "This is a short, hurried and somewhat angry post." The article sounds very biased to me, going to the length of saying how Hinduism is anti-socialist. Maybe cite a better citation. and also name the economists like Sanjeev Sabhlok mentioned in the said line (...been criticized by modern economists...).

This article was published on the Times of India (which is reputable enough albeit this particular article has the "DISCLAIMER: Views expressed above are the author's own." disclaimer at the bottom)
