GDP: Why India's growth rate is shrinking rapidly

India's growth rate is at its lowest in six years. Growth figures have been on a steady decline, shrinking from 8% to 5% in just one year.

Three industries - agriculture, construction and automobiles - have been struck the hardest amid India's economic slowdown.
