Well looks like India is ever more becoming a brain farm for the west. China is reversing the flow of talent i'm not so sure India will be able to do the same in the next half a century.

Dream on....
India is the current president of the G20, and already it thinks it is the leader of the Global South. What a joke! India invested pittance into the Global South compared to China. It even lags behind South Korea and Japan, so it lags even further behind in soft power compared to China. If India wants to help other countries to pay their debts to China, by my guest. But that better not be yet another loan, because its better to owe money to China than to India. Especially if you're in South Asia.
Debt burden from Chinese loans is not the problem. China have forgiven billions of dollars of loans actually to cash-strapped countries including Sri Lanka. The writer doesn't even understand the Sri Lanka case, typical clueless JH. What China desires much more than collecting debt is an uplifted nation to befriend, and do business with. From a realpolitik standpoint, there is also an added bonus of obtaining strong influence over that uplifted nation. India fails to see this long term vision of China's BRI program.
While India desires to get closer to the US. In this day and age, it is not the same as China doing it in the 90s-00s. The US and Russia are in a very different type of mood these days. US is in a world dominance crisis, while Russia is in an existential crisis. Yet India still wants play the US, Russia and China against each other if it is still the 90s-00s. Bad timing India, you're gonna find out the hard way. Why the US is never your friend. Why Russia won't divorce with China and pick you. Why China will never be isolated. And why everyone else doesn't rate you as a 1st-world country to be respected and listened to.
LOL just watch this video and we'll get our answers to when is India going to become a supapowa. Answer: it may never come. If it does, it'll be in 2200
Once all the Western countries are bankrupted by ethnic Indian leadership they will provide something better than a flow of talents — a flow of beggars and street sweepers.

There's a reason China drives such a hard bargain with India and refuse even token concessions on Indian issues. They know India has a shit position and can't afford better terms. Indians may be a bit slow on realising that themselves, but at some point they will.
The west has nothing left in terms of investment they can give to India. Even if their money level is on par with China, they don't have the resources nor the industries. So anything they want to help India with would need severe overpayment as they'll have to buy resources from enemies or neutrals and then gift them to India.
All the west can actually offer India is to take their best 0.01% as immigrants for a marginal boost in productivity at home.
India is geographically surrounded by the unfriendly, has no major resources to speak of besides manpower, no safe routes for oil/gas. It doesn't even have a secure supply for water in the North. It can only thrive if it seals a grand bargain with China, lifting the geographical encirclement they're in and developing under the auspices of the SCO.
Oh it is way worse than that. The Chinese side knows from past experience that of China does make concessions out of goodwill, Jai Hinds would misinterpret that as fear of Indian might and press for further concessions.
India has become the biggest country in the world this year, but conversely, its fertility rates have been in a steep decline for years. In reality, the reversal of population growth that manifested itself in China this year has already begun in India as well.
Since they haven't done a census in over 10 years, what if India never becomes #1 in world population, the Jai Hinds would be so disappointed.
