The Indian Century[1][2] is a neologism suggesting that the 21st century will be dominated by India, as the 20th century is often called the American Century,[3] and the 19th century British Century.[4][5] The phrase is particularly used in the assertion that India's economy could overtake[6][7] the economies of the United States and the economy of China as the largest national economy in the world,[8] a position it historically held[9] from the 1st to the 18th century CE.[10]
