Making predictions this far into the future when we have the huge global warming crisis looming ahead doesn't seem very wise. The arguments put forward in the article reinforce this initial impression. They don't seem to have thought very hard.

By 2075 my 10 year old nephew will be over 12m tall given current growth rates!
Data. Doesn't. Lie.
As an Indian, this article would have fit nottheonion. The guy speculating this must be high on something really strong enough to make an elephant sleep soundly for a few days, to put it mildly.
I'm trying to figure out if we're being astroturfed with pro-India/Modi stuff here on worldnews. What do you think is going on?
I doubt it. The Indian subs moved elsewhere (squabbles.io?) and the ones on lemmy world or other instances are not official. Most are staying back on reddit. If you feel there's too much Indian news you can limit it.
By posting such nonsense, you're effectively promoting it. Don't do that please.
Our Indian prime minister first gave us the deadline of 2020 (Superpower), now it has been postponed to 2047 (100 years after Independence)... don't make him push it further more lmao. Send help
What a useless "prediction." On one hand, of course, the country with the largest population has a high chance of having a large economy. On the other hand, speculating half a century from now what anything is going to look like is asinine.
Wait, is the US already the second largest?
Depends on the measure.
By GDP? No
By GDP adjusted by PPP? Yes
China and US are neck and neck so it swings back and forth with the stock market.
Empires usually only last about 250 years.
Goldman Sachs: we have no credibility anymore lets predicted something that might happen.
LMAO India superpower one day. Maybe not this century though
India was the 3rd largest economy last time I looked.
You don't need to bomb other countries to be considered a super power.
