Per capita is the more meaningful number. Look up the rankings. The difference is dramatic. For trajectory note that the Indian population is growing while japans population is shrinking. So taking all that into account per capita it’s about 50 years before India catches up with Japan if current rates stay the same. I can guarantee rates will not stay the same.

Nominal GDP is very important for geopolitics.

Nuclear weapons even more, which India does have.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You are right, I think I forgot a couple more 0s.

Why do you think Japan is 1000000x more sophisticated?

Human rights? This is growth driven by sheer number of people and greed. Not really what you want as your template.
