April 15th – the second part to a fascinating yet bizarre insight into the potential of India overtaking China… 

My brother-in-law pointed me in the direction of this extraordinary site some days back.

It has some amazingly cool presentations on global development statistics and trends.

For a fascinating perspective, see this chart check the box labelled “trails” (bottom right) and chart India and China from 1979 to date.

It may just make the case for why India may overtake China in income and development indicators over the next 2-3 decades if it continues on the same trajectory.

* And in case you are still wondering about the title (which was in the best traditions of sensationalism), I accept it should be “might” rather than “will”

Thanks again Shantanu!
