you can include china too, we'll have the world's largest economy by 2050 and the largest population by 2040. Bound to happen, nothing can stop that.

Racing past US should not be very hard for India, as Masayoshi said it can be done in next 25 years. But racing past China will not be easy given similar demographics and also the fact that China has head start with respect to India.

Modi-ji is a brilliant leader. He can make it happen even sooner. India will surpass both China and the US by 2020!

Modi or no Modi....large demographics have their own advantages. China in spite of being 2nd largest economy has paltry per capita income of USD 6500, which less than Iraq

And I have a good question
When will shiningIndia surpass America by the number of toilets?

In another 10 years.

irrelevant. No matter what the size of the economy the percapita will remain only a fraction of the US per capita.

 

[YoucanYouup]

In another 10 years.

consider at the huge population, l have to say, Modi-ji is invincible!

Wow! The only possibility of your modi-ji's great means is using nuclear weapon to blow us and American sky high to Mars, and you will surpass two radiated primitive wastelands... but the only implication of this would be modi-ji will threat every one that still live on this languid globe to practice yoga happily...or the unbelievably high ratio of rape not only happens in newdehli but sooo common in the world.
happy Indian man.

You guess what, US is gonna rule for many many more decades, if not centuries. You guys are never gonna be ahead of them. While you run around like a headless chicken about how you have the 'biggest economy', they have 10 times your per capita income. It took you 30 years of 8% to 9% to reach just one tenth of their individual incomes. And with your growth stalling to 6%, it will take you 400 YEARS to match where they are today. USA RULES. You're development is chicken$hit in front of them.

I don't think Modi-ji is as invincible as Xi Jinping-ji. Xi Jinping-ji has all together taken China to exosphere, India is still at troposphere. So Xi Jinping-ji wins hands down.
