It is truly sad how some people are so blinded by hate and jealousy that they don't even acknowledge history.
Nanda Empire in 5th century B.C.E.
Maurya Empire in 4th-2nd centuries B.C.E.
Kushana Empire in 1st-3rd centuries .
Gupta Empire in 4th-6th centuries
Pala Empire in 8th-12th centuries
Chola Empire in 9th-13th centuries
Mughal Empire in 16th-18th centuries
Maratha Empire in 17th-19th centuries
Each of these empires were major global powers in their time. People from all over the world were willing to spend their whole lives trying to reach India, just to glimpse its wealth and power. Oh, and the land that you now call "Pakistan" was also a part of these empires, so you too should be proud of this history instead of living in a pathetic state of self-denial.
And yes, modern India is not a superpower, but it is definitely a global power.
