If we look at the economic growth, India’s GDP growth has been exceeding China's for a few years now.
A video has been surfacing on social media since Saturday where the former Indian captain MS Dhoni can be seen playing volleyball with members of his Territorial Army battalion. Dhoni started serving his regiment on Friday.

Dhoni was bestowed an honorary rank of Lt Colonel in the Territorial Army in 2011 and has also qualified as a paratrooper having completed five parachute training jumps. Dhoni will be staying with his 106 TA Battalion (Para) till 15 August and undertake duties with the troops, Army officials said.
The Territorial Army is a reservist force that draws on civilians who can do short stints to assist the military. Dhoni will be doing a 15-day stint with the Rashtriya Rifles’ Victor Force engaged in counter-insurgency operations. He will be taking on the duties of patrolling, guard and post duty and would be staying with the troops, the army had said in a statement.
Notably, Dhoni was not included in India’s ongoing tour to the West Indies as the 38-year-old made himself unavailable for selection. Dhoni has taken a two-month sabbatical to serve his paramilitary regiment.
Rumours of Dhoni’s retirement have been rife since India’s exit from the recently concluded World Cup where the Men in Blue lost to New Zealand by 18 runs in the semi-final. However, the wicketkeeper-batsman has not clarified anything about his future yet.
