When did the Indian economy beat China?

Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for India to surpass China economically.

According to the global GDP ranking of 20 16,

Second place China GDP:11391600 million USD;

Seventh place India's GDP:22509 billion US dollars.

China is five times as big as India. India's GDP growth rate is about 7%. Even if China's growth rate is above 6%, the current gap of $8 trillion is enough for India to catch up for decades.

In addition, India's population is growing too fast and will soon surpass China, which is a heavy burden for India and will drag down its economic development.

If we consider that China is still growing at a high speed every year, India can't catch up with China in recent decades, and the economic base of India and China is too poor to be comparable.
