Between 2005-06 and 2009-10 India’s GDP growth rose, dipped sharply during the 2008-09 global crisis, and recovered thereafter; per-capita income growth followed the same non-monotonic pattern. Therefore neither growth rate increased steadily over the previous five years. ([gktoday.in](https://www.gktoday.in/solution-of-the-upsc-prelims-2011-general-studies-paper/))
