Solution

The correct option is C Growth rate of Gross Domestic Product
India's GDP growth before liberalization (1950s - 1980s) had settled for a meager 3.5% and this was called the Hindu rate of growth by Professor Rajkrishna, an Indian economist then. It was the time when other economies were ambitious for achieving higher growth rates while India was content with a 3.5%.
