Its embarrassing really when some idiots talk about being super power. Without realising house conditions.

Forget about superpower it will be good enough to keep development going tp feed somsny mouth.

Unlike the naysayers in this thread, I always believed India will be a superpower. Just look for "India 2030" for benevolent world ruled by the Dharmic Shupa Powa

@ 1.2 million sq mi + Indian administered Kashmir 40,000 sq mi totaling 12.4 million sq mi

Area wise India is huge , it has a 'lot of land , so geographically yes India can be a super power
demographically No, it just has too high a population , 1,2 billion people is way too much ,even for a & $5 trillion dollar economy ,India at present is $2.5 trillion , the population needs to be stabilized at around 80 crore
over all No it cannot be a Super Power like U.S , Russia & China ,
but Yes India can be a super power like France & the UK

France and UK are Global powers, and yes, its is possible for India to be a global power.

no single country today is capable of that


I wouldn't be so sure of that. Depends on the nature of the war.

France and UK are Global powers, and yes, its is possible for India to be a global power.


France and Britain are considered regional powers, not superpowers. They are not big enough.

1. It is 3.3 million sq km, not 3


It's 3.3 when claimed parts of Kashmir administered by Pakistan and China are included. Otherwise, it's 3.1.

What is the fascination with super power, there is no such thing as super power, even the Americans do not like being called super power. There are big countries with big economies and big armies. A country like Germany is half the size of Pakistan and perhaps 1/15th of India !! have a good look at them and see how a major economy it is look at its Technological base and over all quality of life for its citizens. Now that is SUPER.... get it.

I don't think there is any doubt that India "can be" a super power. Whether they will be one is another question. It will depend on the Indians themselves. But in terms of the size of the land mass, resources and the population, India certainly can be a super power. Countries like Russia, Brazil and China all have the potential to super powers.

On the hand, Japan will never be a super power. Germany, U.K., Italy, France etc will never be a super power.

Whether a country can be a super power may seem to be a question out of no where. But it's actually important for countries to know their limits. Miscalculations in this aspect by Japan and Germany have led to monumental disasters.

India will dwarf Russia in any which way a few decades down the line - economically, industrially, militarily.

The only 2 countries that would remain above India in the above mentioned categories would be US and China.
