This is not the way to quote the hadith...
I went to sunah.com and searched for india :
it is chapter 41:
It was narrated that Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), said:
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'There are two groups of my Ummah whom Allah will free from the Fire: The group that invades India, and the group that will be with 'Isa bin Maryam, peace be upon him.'"

That is true...
During the life of the prophet he was asked about the end of time and he replied by showing his index finger and thumb very close together....Now if it was back then and he talked of Ghazwatul Hind then according to such chronology it has already happened when Pakistan was made unless we are getting Kashmir I dont see anything happening as per time scale.
True....
However, the translation seems to have 1 problem it doesnt tell who this "we" are (as per the last 2 hadith in post 30)..and as per the hadith in quesiton:
Which group is this coz it is given the same gift as the group that will be with Nabi Isa!
