India used to account for 33% of the world's GDP; then fell to 3%; now may rise to 25%



India led the world in GDP before the industrial revolution, when population meant productivity, and India had the largest population. Following the end of British rule, India entered a long period of economic stagnation.The future outlook comes from Goldman Sachs, which sees India passing the U.S. economy in 2050, trailing only China.
