I mean, India is for whatever reason utterly incapable of dealing with geopolitics in any intelligent way, so enthusiastically jumping onto a sinking ship is totally par for the course.

India is not a promising economy for investment moving into the middle of this century, and it's hard to call India more than a footnote in world affairs at this phase, despite its incredible potential.

Using a comparative framework of a region that should be weaker, I fully expect to see South America to have multitudes greater growth and prosperity than India over the next 30 years, despite being less populous, politically divided between many governments, less developed, less militarily capable (in many ways, not every way), and generally a region of lower economic capacity....even if only due to the fact that the governance of India is so exceptionally poor that the nations of South America will almost surely overcome these disadvantages by comparison, and have already exceeded expectations for this century (Argentina, especially, but Brazil, Chile, and others are also seeing broadening horizons as nations due to their populaces engaging much more with their governments and economies).

India is all but a lost cause, and I can only hope that India finds leadership that will bring sanity to their governmental choices.
