New Delhi: Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra hailed India after the country surpassed Britain to become the country’s fifth largest economy.
Mahindra said that the news touched the hearts of all Indians who fought hard and sacrificed for the country’s freedom.
“The law of karma works. Messages that would have filled the hearts of any Indian who fought hard and sacrificed much for freedom. And a silent but strong response to those who thought India would descend into chaos. A time for quiet reflection, gratitude,” he tweeted.
