I don't know if you have comprehension issues..
but let's dissect your claims even then, you are comparing India with Indonesia (which is NOT a theocracy btw), Egypt (not to mention massive debt reliefs for participating in Gulf war and now inflow of petro-dollars from GCC under Sisi the GGC puppet), Iran (neither to mention their secular era till 79' nor their oil), I want to draw your attention to the
base at they started with,

All of them started at a higher base than India, and Egypt and Iran both had "Oil advantage' - one directly another indirectly. Since, you mentioned "migrant labours", both Egypt and Indonesia send a lot of their labourers too! In some cases, faring worse than Indian migrants.
Malaysia is a good example but even their economy is run by ethnic minorities - Indians and Chinese despite being heavily discriminated against

Lol at your mentioning of Kazakhstan or even Turkey which are uber secular compared to even India - you essentially proved my point.
Here's gay pride in Turkey, enjoy
You can believe in your Shari'a theocracy all you want but sorry even successful Muslims have discarded it.
It was a power-house before Muslim rulers too, it actually went into decline since 1000s..
What a sorry, sad excuse from you. "bUt tHEy StArTeD frOM a tad-bit higHEr Base
"
The base comparison is dumb because the way we calculated GDP and other economic measures in 1968 is
completely alien to how we calculate things now. That's why, China---despite its higher consumption---showed less GDP than India in 50's, 60's etc. Its useless to compare. Those base numbers are wrong and would not churn out the same result, if measured by today's standards.
Secondly, East Asians and countless countries started with even
lower base and yet they are far ahead today than your sh*thole called india. So what? These excuses are laughable.
The fact remains: Muslim world is
FAR more prosperous,
FAR more powerful, and
FAR more global,
FAR more cosmopolitan than backward, irrelevant, and powerless india restricted to just one small region and that too, it shares with another regional power (Pakistan).
Nigeria, Angola etc also had oil reserves and massive funds from oil. How come they aren't like UAE or GCC? The impeccable management and extremely fast development of GCC countries is to be admired. They did not allow their resource to become a 'burden' on them as many African, Latin American, and Asian countries did.
Btw not only economic and power indicators, Muslim world leads india on
social indicators too. Whether its happiness, family, child-bearing/fertility, marriage rates, alcohol consumption rates, drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, social safety net,
rape rates, criminal homicide rates,----you name it. OIC's aggregate per capita data puts india to shame.
Funny thing for you: The difference between india and OIC today is
higher than it was back in the 70's on per capita basis...and that's after OIC more than TRIPLED its population while indian population growth was way less (so should have been an advantage for you).
As I said,
Muslim World's NON-OIL exports are $1.5 trillion+.....Please come back when your backward, unproductive, weak and irrelevant backwater achieves even half of that
Lets not even
begin to discuss the vast advantage of global Islam in infrastructure development, agriculture production, railway lines, water storage and dam capacity, and I can literally go on and on.
Home-work for you: Muslim world's total DAM capacity is ~
1000 km3. Convert it to 'acre-feet' (commonly used metric in India/Pakistan/Asia and then compare it to india's
Remember, population are similarity (1.4B vs 1.8B). Even after controlling for population, you aren't even in the same stratosphere lol. Muslim world's DAM capacity is like 300% higher or something lol
As I said, you aren't even in the same universe in any aspect. And again, Muslim world achieved that with superior social indicators like healthier fertility rate, family formation, marriage rates etc. THAT is REAL achievement here---since social indicators like fertility rate, marriage, happiness, family values and development are often inversely related (for obvious reasons).
