Europeans became dominant and progressive race in terms of military or economic power only after the 18th century with arrival of industrial age not for some 2000yr.
Even in late 18th century ,india accounted for more 20% of world's GDP.
Buddy, by the 18th century, Europe had colonised most of Africa and both the American continents. The British and the Dutch East India Companies did most of the damage in Africa and Asia. Remember battle of Plassey, 1757? Colonisation of Australia started in 1788. Much before that, the Romans had all of Europe, North Africa and Central Asia. You are right about India's high GDP. Anyway, friend, pointless discussing this any longer. Just so much water under the bridge.
