India will never be like China. Chinese are less religious. Religion is an evolution deterrent

Weren't they already despising and rejecting religion way before (like from the late 40s when the Communists took over)?

Confucianism was brought to heel in a similar manner to the Orthodox Church in Soviet domains IIRC.

yes, it is a type of thing that takes some generations. India won't be able to get rid of religion with a snap. It will take time.
