I don't think this will happen with all the corruption and disasters...
And Nigeria and Indonesia in top 10 ? C'mon.
Hope this brings out a good discussion.

I'd believe this ideal extrapolation if I were on dope.

Don't doubt Nigerian prince. Lately, I got million dollar offers from him.

 

[dashing.sujay]

Surpassing china is very doubtful and difficult too.

 

[thetechfreak]

India surpassing China?! Not the most likeliest thing to happen.

Hope it will happen....
India is growing, but fuel prices shouldn't grow..

 

[theserpent]

Arrr my eyes spoilt !! I can see Nigeria in top or is it a typo for new zealand .
India Taking over china???Not Possible for the next 100 years
But probably if the current generation Youth become and PM and take over India.And make it a better country then yes.
But whoever made this list was banged in his head before writing this

Don't doubt Nigerian prince. Lately, I got million dollar offers from him.

Take it and give me 5-10% of it

Actually quite some books have been written by economists on this, and most papers carry similar articles almost weekly. Growth in China is decreasing, and India is punching out a decent 7%, though it is also slowing down. But India has a lot of deterrents, which can spoil the show. Let us see. It is not impossible.

Nigeria and Indonesia are both major crude oil sources. *If* they play their cards well, top 10 is not impossible. As for India, something truly revolutionary needs to happen. No, not the Mangal Pandey kind.

 

[Nithu]

LOL!!! ... don't worry guys, nobody will overtake anyone. (World is gonna end on 21 Dec 2012 )

 

[montsa007]

Is that an April Fools Joke!?

 

[R2K]

India might get to the second position but never the first position. China is sure gonna take that position in near future

 

[Desmond]

Hard to believe, but not impossible. India needs a little more Felix Felicis.

Could you be even more late ?

 

[montsa007]

Could you be even more late ?

You never know...

 

[Nipun]

Could you be even more late ?

Still, to believe this, pretty high you must be

If people could predict financial wold in a half decent way, the recent global collapse would have been less worse. And look at article, its just a mockery.
Actually I'm rather relieved that its only a joke
