India's gross domestic product or GDP contracted by a massive MINUS 23.9% in the April-June period, that is what the official NSO data said. The data revealed that majority of the sectors are hit by a negative growth after the lockdown - making this the worst economic stump in India and also the in the world amongst big economies.

However in this edition of the deshbhakt we are going to take a look at how India's GDP was anyways on a downward spiral BEFORE the virus struck - making the cut deeper for India than any other country. Even before the lockdown, GDP growth was declining since the last eight quarters.

The Finance Minister has already said that this time, the decline in growth is an ‘act of God’ - however data shows that an act of Fraud has been committed and this depression is not going away any time soon.
