Yes. India is not China but I do think their contribution/threat will not be material but rather spiritual. East Asian culture, especially China often pulls to one extreme while the Middle East and India pulls towards another. Chinese tend to prioritize the physical and material things, practical often to a fault which works until it doesn't. There is a tendency for bureaucratic rule to calcify and become stagnant and unwieldy that it because a dead weight to the country as a while. Often this takes several generations but when it does, it is often a spiritual revolution takes root and spreads like fire like or even Yellow Turbans/Red Turbans/Taiping Kingdom/even Communism (could be classified as a quasi-religion) which plunges the nation into chaos and/or new government.

I think with India they will come up with a new religious movement that will transform the world. Something about brown people gives them greater spiritual powers like along the "holy belt" region i.e. where Judaism/Christianity/Islam/Hinduism/Buddhism/Zoroastrian/Jainism all exist in a one stretch. That will probably be the transition formed from them. Not a state or industry but a religious explosion. Of course this is purely speculation on my part.

What you’re describing is delusion, religious, manic or otherwise. Thank the old gods and the new that the CPC leadership remains atheist and mandates atheism and dialectical materialism. If wishcasting worked like Indian Twitter users applying the Ork WAUUUGH, India would have its white servants by now.

People keep overestimating India despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

To be frank, in an actual world war, India will most likely do more damage to the side their join through their customary incompetence and arrogance. They can be passable cannon fodder when commanded by foreign officers, as the British Empire used them, but if left to command themselves, they will just get annihilated and leave friendly allied forces in the shit.

Nevertheless, it would be stupid for China to proactively push India into America’s camp. So all China is doing is the bare minimum to not force India to choose sides.

Extending India the bare minimum of goodwill gestures costs China nothing, but singling India out for exclusion when China is doing general world wide outreach needlessly antagonises them for no reason or benefit to China.

As I said. India would still join any side that fight against china no matter how hard china show goodwill to them anyways. Especially when water crisis is looming for both sides which is the stake of survival
So there's no point to show them goodwill since it's already antagonized.

Trump announces the Trump-class "battleships". His "Golden Fleet".

Did America abandoned the Constellation-class frigates to build the Trump-class golden battleships?

055 can't even beat Ticonderoga in VLS count. It also can't carry ultra large Hypersonic missiles that PLARF has. So, Type 055 is not a "Battleship" for the modern era.

A true modern battleship should have displacement atleast double that of 055. So, around 25-30K displacement. It should have 100+ VLS Air defense plus 30-50 larger VLS for Hypersonic anti-ship/ground attack missiles that are similar in size to DF-26/27.

A modern day kirov class type ship with modern radars and sensors and also hypersonic weapons will be what I would call a modern day battleship.

You do realise that the Type-055 VLS are approaching twice the volume of the VLS of the Ticonderoga.

So we already see the Type-055 launching 1500km ranged Hypersonic ASBMs.

As for Trump's golden battleships, I doubt they will get built quickly or in large numbers.

And if they do get built, it will screw up US Navy shipbuilding and budgeting.

And when Chinese Navy surface ships do need 3000km range Hypersonic ASBMs, I expect the current submarine-launched system to be put on surface ships such as the Type-055.
