outdated data used on GDP/pop/initiatives by govt. West looking at India to grow their money expense of its own ppl, natural resources and environment - just like China's did between 2000-2020 . "Manny ppl don't know ..." quite ironic stmt by OP. The real challenges come with West - be their high handed approach to FTAs, or pushing the narrative of "West's problems are the Worlds problem" India's own ambitions - 2T$ export , stronger rupee etc may sound nice but there's the risk that it could go wrong like it did for Turkey - esp if the USA/China intervenes. USA also doesnt want India to become as powerful as China, creating another powerful rival while trying to contain a powerful rival.
