It is highly unlikely because extrapolations will fail if India doesn't fix its huge liveability issues. It needs to attract smart people, improve basic education, sanitation, air, water etc. The slack that existed previously to exploit will get smaller and smaller.

Many non-religious people want to believe that their views of the world are based on reason while religious people’s views are based on blind faith. But all knowledge begins with faith. The scientist cannot prove her memory or cognitive faculties work without assuming they do. She takes on faith that she’s not in “The Matrix”. (There are no non-circular arguments for the case that our perception faculties are reliable). The secular humanist cannot prove scientifically or logically that all people have equal dignity and equal rights and that to violate them is not just impractical but wrong. He/She takes it on faith. At the same time, the religious believer cannot demonstrably prove to every rational person that God exists. Yet all of these ‘faith-starting points’ and ‘worldviews’ can be tested. First, they can be examined for internal consistency—to see if they “smuggle” in truths and values that contradict their own premises. Second, there are some parts—but never all— of the worldview that can indeed be tested empirically. Third, there are ways to weigh which faith premises best account for what we see in the world and in ourselves. Fourth, worldviews can be tested for ‘liveability’—which ones provide the best resources for purpose, identity, freedom, happiness, hope—things we cannot live a human life without. All people necessarily operate out of worldviews (C. Taylor calls them ‘social imaginaries’) that are based on non-provable faith assumptions about reality and human nature. This levels the playing field for dialogue in a secular society about religion. No one can prove their worldview outright. So we should proceed with humility and respect toward others. Worldviews CAN be compared and examined, and recommended to others—we must not neglect doing that. For those pushing back on the idea that all knowledge is ultimately based on faith see this.buff.ly/F7hUH8U Accessible and elegant.
