Indian Century

The Indian Century[1][2] (or India's Century[3]) (Hindi : भारतीय शताब्दी) is the possibility that the 21st century will be dominated by India, similarly to how the 20th century is often called the American Century,[4] and the 19th century as Pax Britannica (British Peace).[5] The phrase is used particularly in the assertion that the economy of India could overtake[6][7] the economy of the United States and economy of China as the largest national economy in the world,[8] a position it held[9] from 1 to 1500 A.D. and in 1700 A.D.[10][11]

India has created North–South Transport Corridor as an alternative to One Belt, One Road policy initiative of China (PRC),[12][13][14] to link in with Iran, Russia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. In 2017, India and Japan[15][16] joined together to form Asia-Africa Growth Corridor, to better integrate the economies of South, Southeast, and East Asia with Oceania and Africa.[15][16]

According to the report named "Indian Century: Defining India's Place in a Rapidly Changing Global Economy" by IBM Institute for Business Value, India is predicted to be among the world’s highest-growth nations over the coming years.[17][18][19]

Economists and Researchers at Harvard University have projected India’s 7% projected annual growth rate through 2024 would continue to put it ahead of China, making India the fastest growing major economy in the world.[25][26] In 2017, Center for International Development at Harvard University, published a research study,[27] projecting that India has emerged[27] as the economic pole of global growth by surpassing China and is expected to maintain its lead over the coming decade.[27]

India is generally considered an emerging great power due to its large and stable population, and its rapidly growing economic and military sectors.[28]
