Sorry but it's you who's twisting words out of context. I said according to PPP India is the 4th largest economy in the world. Period. I did not translate it into anything..you did quite deviously. And it certainly is not hogwash of any kind since economists do use that standard with some frequency.

Then the 4th largest Army i said. You made it to be the 4th most powerful..twisted words again. Yet I was wrong and you were right..strangely i found out it's not the 4th largest but the 2nd largest Army. And saying it's the 4th most powerful will not be too wrong too. Individually you cannot compare say the Australian, Japanese or Canadian Army to India, but these countries are part of a block called NATO. So we have 4 major Armed forces..NATO (most powerful), Russia, China and India. So certainly that would also translate into the 4th most powerful one too at the minimum. Whats wrong in that? Lets hear..i never posted anything incorrect. You did.
