Indian economy surpasses the UK economy for the first time in 150 years. But wait, wasn’t India a UK economy 150 years ago? In which case, who surpassed whom? Anyway, now that India seems to have surpassed UK, will the British start reading Kabir ke dohe? And, did Shakespeare have an Indian connection? Did Robinhood of Sherwood visit the Borivali National Park while it was still green? Will England ever defeat India, 4-0? Will Charles love Diana, posthumously? Will 10 Downing Street be renamed 10 Janpath? Will Her Majesty return the Kohinoor before Indian I-T sleuths conduct a demonetization raid? Will 1 GB Pound = 1 rupee? Will the British queue up outside the Indian embassy for an Indian resident visa? God knows. In the interim, I see History being created. 150 years from now, 2016 will be etched in History on account of India's demonetization (or the lakhs of it), Hillary's failed quest for Presidential know-me-nation and Trumputin's Russian States of Amerika election. Haha!
