From the above timeline:
2050 Arnold Toynbee (1889 - 1975) predicted that in 2000 the West will still dominate Earth, but in the 21st century India will conquer her conquerors. Religion worldwide will regain its earlier importance, and world events will return to the East where civilization originated.
2094 Will Durant foretold in The Story of Civilization, "India will teach us the tolerance and gentleness of mature mind, understanding spirit and a unifying, pacifying love for all human beings."

Very good timeline, other than that they say:
-4 Jesus of Nazareth (-4 to -30 CE), founder of Christianity, is born, traditionally in Bethlehem of Judea (dates according to current Biblical scholarship
They are not yet familiar with Caesar's Messiah; time will take care of that.
I was happy with:
53 A Christian legend places the death of Saint Thomas, one of Christ's 12 Apostles, in Chennai. <b>But</b> history offers no evidence he ever came to India and shows that Bharat's first Christian community was Kerala's Syrian Malabar Church, founded in 345 by Thomas of Cana.
and
-4004 Archbishop Usher's (17th century) <b>supposed</b> date of the creation of the world, based on genealogies in the Old Testament.
