India is one of the best candidates for future economic growth and they are a nonaligned country that is a democracy. India is not an authoritarian country like China. India is the 5th biggest country in GNP in the below graph.
"The United States and China are undoubtedly the two most powerful countries, but at least one more country must be roughly in their league for multipolarity to exist. This is where claims of multipolarity fall apart. Every country that could plausibly rank third—France, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom—is in no way a rough peer of the United States or China." -The Myth of Multipolarity, American Power’s Staying Power, Foreign Affairs, 2023
