Remember: India is a 'Lower-Middle Income' economy as per World Bank, NOT a 'Low Income' one. Don't let poverty perception trick you.
Exam Trap: India's PCI of $1891 (2019 data) places it firmly in the lower-middle tier. Always choose Lower-Middle in MCQs.

Mnemonic '50 to 3': India and China held 50.5% of global GDP in 1000 AD, but British rule dropped India's share below 3% by 1947.
They often test the exact percentage drop. Just remember the British era wiped out almost all of India's historical global GDP dominance.
