Doubt it is. Maybe in a professional world, politics and so on but surely not in the number of people that speak it as primary language.
A lot of those Chinese and Indians learn English so they can be involved in the world. The converse (English speakers needing to learn Hindi or mandarin to participate in the world) isn't true, is it?
