Is India rapidly closing towards being a SuperPower?

[hembo]

""

I had dreams of entering politics,working for a dream,that you know.
But when i see people like you with " " on the dreams.
I sometimes wonder,if i will succeed.

You might not take it seriously,but i am serious.

Well,its my personal dream??
Nonetheless..

I am just 22 and my spirits are already down,talking to people like you.

I know,the reality is that India isn't a superpower yet(well if China isn't,then India ofc can't be)

But my thread title is "closing towards being a SP"
And i don't think that its a wet dream.
It's a reality that has been endorsed by many leaders in the world.
But sadly,some people of the very same nation do not believe in the same notion.

Dear GD,

If you are 22, with high spirit and wants to enter politics to serve the nation, Isn't the priorities of your dreams be as below:

1. Eradication of Poverty & Unemplyment
2. Complete elimination of corruption in Govt & govt services
3. Removal of inherent dishonesty amongs the majorities
4. Elimination of age old and evil Castisms.
5. Accelerate the economic growth by promoting Innovation amongs the young in particular
6. Streghten your defence capabilities.
7. Promote trust amongst the various rebel groups (maoist, ulfa and the likes) and bring them back to the mainstream.
8. Promoting peace and harmony amongst our neighbouring coutries in particular and the world in general.

Why talk about super-powerdom when we have more important and pertinent services to render to our motherland. If we are focussed on our real goals and work diligently towards achieving these, rest of the stuffs will follow automatically. Without achieving our primary goals, the crown will be VERY VERY superficial.

I, for one, will be more happy if we can uplift our poors to the "HAVE" cast, rather then some tom, dick and harry calling us superpowers. Look deep inside your heart, what will make you happier?

Alex that is the case... we are looking to befriend with US and want to act like enemies with our immediate neighbors...

IMO we need to strengthen our economy and military in order to resolve our disputes where both the parties are in win win situation. War between India and China or between India and Pakistan will surely deter this growth which we have achieved because these three countries are nuclear powers and will use their ultimate weapon to avoid losing that war.

well i cannot comment about the Indo-Pakistani relation in the near future,it had always been tumultuous and will remain the same in coming future also

But china is different even after our estranged relation,we r cooperating on a lot of deal's,even supporting each other against the west.The relation's can definitely improve if both parties have a little drop in their attitude

Historically we were called a non aligned nation,but it is in the current circumstances that look more credible

We have good relation with both Russia and U.S,both born adversaries.

We also have strong relation with Israel and Iran,another arch nemesis

Why cant we add China to the list.

Even I'm unsure about Pakistan because of our arch rivalry and other reasons... but we could be optimistic.

and I do agree with you on this post

India should not aim to be a damn superpower.. This is so dumb.. And if USA is the model of a superpower, India is not even close.

Very well said !!!

Don't know why nationalistic Indians are so OBSESSED with the title "Superpower". You need to earn the title "Superpower" and not beg others to give you the title.

Are we saying we Are ' SUPERPOWER ' . No we are not - But we intend to become one of the Global power in the future ..

Going around nagging countries to support India is called BEGGING !!!
India is BEGGING the world to recognize her as a "Superpower" and India is also BEGGING the world to support her for a Permanent U.N. seat when she has such a poor Human Rights record !!!

There is nothing wrong if people want his/her motherland to obtain Superpower status, even many Chinese feel the same way.

But i agree with you in the highlighted part, you need to work hard and keep low profile when you are not a Superpower yet.

India is Global Power with a fourth largest Economy (in terms of ppp)...
India Armed Forces are the second largest in the world...
these are enough to make India a super power...

I agree with you,so far as the term power is concerned.But I would personally like to see India being counted as one of the developed nations before calling her a "Super power".Thats why I said,there is still a long way to go.
As said by Robert Frost,

"But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."​
