India's Economic Ascent: The German Overtake
India recently surpassed the United Kingdom to become the world's fifth-largest economy and is rapidly closing in on Japan and Germany. This prediction tests whether India's growth momentum can carry it past Germany into the number three spot behind only the US and China.
The Demographic Dividend
The overwhelming 'Yes' vote is based on India's consistent 6-7% annual GDP growth, young population, and increasing manufacturing exports. While Germany faces demographic challenges and energy transition costs, India's economic reforms and digital infrastructure boom create favorable conditions for continued rapid expansion, making the overtaking of Germany by 2027 highly probable.
