What race? India is not comparable to China in anything economic, military etc.
On the other end, India is on the verge of becoming a great miracle of mankind has ever seen.
What miracle is this?
Huge population has come out of poverty.
It has made strides e.g. India narrowed the population living in extreme poverty.
But a huge population is a tad dramatic, but then India also has a huge population.
India’s education Institutions have turned out to be the best anywhere, IITans and other Indian students are sitting on the top of many multinational corporations.
This is based on sheer numbers of graduates and the fact that other nations have better career progression and opportunities, which should be the case in India. No Indian institution is in the top 100 university rankings;

China has a few (mainland), and more when Hong Kong is included.
India’s medical tourism is also flourishing.
Agreed India has made this a niche and is benefiting, and the investment from private sector hospitals creates a multiplier for India's entire health industry.
Bollywood is becoming more and more popular and spreads soft power of India across the world.
No just no, be quiet. Aside the subcontinent and of course its expat communities Bollywood has no influence or sway. I'm sorry this is nonsense.
Yoga has gained a huge popularity and interest across the world and it is enlightening the people.
Agreed in part, especially with Western states where there is a "spiritual deficit" of sorts, Yoga is popular and of course this is wholly attributed to India. However other Asian cultures have their own meditation and devotional exercises e.g. Tai Chi.
The dude needs to be humble and not beat his chest. India has made good ground and continues to, and I'd be the first to say I wish Pakistan had as well. But there is also realism.
Inspite of agreeing on so many points, you say that there is no comparison. Article clearly states that India is a decade and half behind but India has laid down a solid foundation of democracy, research, education etc.That so called ranking is based on money spend and facilities created in education institutions. If success of the students of any engineering or medical or management colleges is criterion, compare any Chinese college with Indian college. You will get your answer.
India is not just removing poverty but building house for all, electricity for all. India is covering entire population under medical cover. Many basic medicine in India are available at 1/4 th rate than a chocolate in other parts of the world.
Article righly says that though China has surged ahead, India and laid down a solid foundation for robust progress.
