This document discusses reasons why India is still considered a developing country rather than a developed one. It provides several key factors, including: very high income inequality, lack of population control, widespread corruption, an agrarian rather than industrial economy, lower literacy and education rates, a mediocre judicial system, caste-based discrimination, tax evasion, and a political system that employs divide and rule tactics. While India has seen strong economic growth, it still lags in important human development and quality of life indicators needed to be seen as fully developed.
