India's not unreasonable at all, depending on the likelihood of a major secession event.
In 1975, China was one of the poorest countries on Earth and they climbed all the way to second.
because Mao died in 1976 and Deng Xioping consolidated leadership in 1977
India is not China for many reasons
Will India impose a one child policy like China did in 1975?
edit: if 40 percent of GDP is in agriculture, India's income per capita will not improve
Nigeria will be in the top 10? is that reasonable?
50 year projections are stupid

We agree on the last point
No one expected China to be China either. The point is that even huge poor economies can grow rapidly in the right circumstances.

Yes. I think (and most Indians believe) that the party that has been ruling till 2014 has kept India behind. And it looks so true when you know how India looked pre Modi and now.

Actually not.
This government has been more liberal than the previous one as far as market is concerned. They have been doing so many reforms to trade and FDA policies but they have just been cautious because they can't hurt India's SMEs which are core to it's growth.

Most Punjabi Sikhs migrated to Canada and US are not the fan of India (it's not about what government is here). There has been a pakistan and Canadian Sikh funded and fueled anti India movement. It went so much ahead that some of them even started demanding a seperate country for Sikhs.
TBH, since my childhood, I've never ever come across an incident or a Sikh living in India and complaining about India. The demand for a seperate country for Sikhs has been done always from the foreign land.
