    As per estimates, India will overtake Turkey in the next 3 days to reach 9th place. Another 5 days later, we will displace Germany and France for the 7th spot. Italy, UK and Spain won't put up much of a challenge and we should occupy the 4th position by mid-June. A 2nd spot should be reachable by 30th June (+7 days grace period allowed if Russia and Brazil put up a fight). USA is far ahead of us and difficult to compete unless the environment changes.

    Too bad this is not the GDP race.

    India may over take number one position due to it densely over population, poor resources, uneven distribution of aid, illiteracy on hygiene & emotions. World particularly China, Pakistan, Bangladesh & Nepal are watching India’s weakness in handling it migrants with in India & stranded Citizens overseas and no actions or statements by federal Government

    Need of the hour strong, knowledgeable, well educated, brave & powerful President in Delhi or India may end up humiliated by loosing it territory in the North to China & Nepal may become weaker to control it North eastern parts and progressive southern States. May God Krishna do some chamatkar.

    Trump said that being number 1 is a matter of pride.
    I am sure his friend is going to say in his "monkey baat" at 8 pm " BJP sarkar ne itna accha kaam kiya sirf 6 saal pe, Jo Nehru ka congress pichle 60 saal par kar nahin paya. Hum Cheena se aage nikhle hai aur agle nishan Europe hai".
