I'm going to ask this in the most laymen way possible...how is it possible that a country that is growing faster than the US depreciates the money value relative to the US by so much? I genuinely believe India has stronger growth, but those two facts don't seem to match up. One would think that a stronger economy would imply more investment, and thus push the price up on the currency. ELI5.

Cause India imports much more than it exports. And the majority of global trade happens in USD which effects demand for USD.
