Indian Century

The Indian Century is a neologism suggesting that the 21st century may be dominated by India, as the 20th century is often called the American Century, and the 19th century British Century. The phrase is particularly used in the assertion that India's economy could overtake the economies of the United States and the economy of China as the largest national economy in the world, echoing its 23% share of the world economy in the mid-18th century, and up from a 3% share at the end of British rule.
