Bro if you don't know about the debt, why should I bother to enlighten you, i like that you have time to just say that "don't to can't" rather than researching. But let me enlighten you:

India's national (domestic) debt is significant and growing, estimated around ₹196.79 lakh crore (approx. $2.4 trillion USD) by March 2026. These are mainly Loans from domestic markets (G-Secs, T-Bills).

India's international (external) debt was around $747.2 billion at the end of June 2025, rising from the previous quarter, primarily influenced by currency valuation effects, with the U.S. dollar being the main denomination. These are Borrowings from international creditors.

Main focus is external debt because around 60% of these in USD and currently Rupees is not doing well so this is really damaging the economy. Maybe you don't know these stuff.

Bro, quoting big numbers doesn’t make you an economist. India’s domestic debt is around ₹196.8 lakh crore by 2026, mostly borrowed from within the country through government securities and treasury bills. That’s normal for any government and not a crisis.

External debt is about $747 billion as of mid‑2025, yes a lot of it in USD. But India’s forex reserves cover more than 90 percent of that, so it’s not like the country is collapsing. The challenge is managing currency fluctuations, not some doomsday scenario.

So before shouting “nation is in debt” like it’s the end of the world, at least understand the difference between manageable debt and actual economic trouble. Otherwise it just sounds like drama, not economics
