I mean yeah on the face of it having similar (by then even a bit bigger) population size to China, plenty of natural resources and the largest amount of habitable land in the world, it seems bad that India is only producing a fraction of what China is. But maybe they can compensate for that by going hard on IT and finance to be like the rich, developed western nations. Working in factories or on construction sites is for losers anyway, smart people work in offices writing code or trading stocks - those are the high paying jobs, ergo it stands to reason that a country is better off the more people it has doing those kinds of jobs... ideally 100% of the population for maximum profit!
