Marking-scheme solution
India, China and Pakistan maintained the same level of development until the late 1970s.
India experienced moderate growth through democratic governance, improving infrastructure and living standards, though many still rely on agriculture.
Pakistan’s growth remained slower due to political instability, reliance on foreign aid and agricultural uncertainty, though recent improvements are visible.
China, however, achieved rapid growth through market-oriented reforms under political control, significantly reducing poverty and enhancing human development with strong rural and social infrastructure support.
