1. Yes India can surpass the economic growth rate of China,because China is growing from last 30 years and India started 6 to 7 years before so here is a chance for India. Indias growth rate is over than 8 and it will go up to 10
2. No reason to expect it will. Just look at the numbers and at history. China's economy is larger than India's by a factor of 4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal) The productivity of the Chinese is greater than that of the Indians by about the same amount: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita The growth rate of the Chinese economy has been higher than that of India: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_real_GDP_growth_rate and there is no reason to expect that to change in the foreseeable future. But even if China were to stop growing completely, and India grows at an 8% growth rate, it would still take India almost 20 years to catch up. If India's growth rate increases to 10% and China's falls to 6%, it would still take more than 35 years for India to catch up
