Comparison of Post-Intervention Economic Trajectories in India and China
The economic histories of both India and China show a parallel pattern: a period of decline in per capita output linked to foreign influence, followed by a subsequent phase of economic growth. For India, this decline occurred during its colonial era, with a significant economic 'take-off' commencing shortly after it gained independence in 1947. China, although never formally a colony, underwent a similar downturn due to the increasing control of other nations, which ended in the mid-20th century, before it too began a period of growth.
