Question

Why is india called a third world country, even if the india is not poor now

Answer 1

as it is not highly developed

Answer 2

It is because, India is the 3rd world Country.
In order to understand the importance of the 1st world, 2nd world, 3rd world countries, we should come out from our generalized thought process.
It means, people often think that the 3rd world countries are economically poor countries. But, that’s wrong or you can call it as ignorance.
I wanted to highlight the fact that there is no official representation of the worlds as everyone calls out.
Whoever talks about this 3rd world countries as the economically poor countries, then ask them about ‘What is mean by 1st world and 2nd world countries mean?’
Let me give you an explanation about this ranking scheme.
Major changes in the world often happens after the historically important events. Post world war 2, countries have been aligned to 2 different sphere based on their views towards Government and Political Policies.
States who have not aligned with any of the above two spheres or simply called Non-aligned Countries .
Being, the leader of the non-aligned movements, India always described as the ‘Third world country’. It never means, India is poor.
By sharing the above information, I want to call out, being an economic giant “India should still be called as 3rd world country”.
India had and will have so many gains, by maintaining this ‘Non-aligned Movement’. India will still be called as 3rd world country in years to come.

Hope it helps you.
