if, 150+ years ago, when we were building all the rail infrastructure in India, someone said - that there would be no fast line from Delhi to London in 100 years - people would think you were nuts - right now it's tricky to get from London to Berlin, India is near impossible

It most likely would have happened, if the airplane hadn't been invented. Now you can fly from Delhi to London in 8-9 hours.
