Or Bharat may become another Brazil. Forever stuck in the middle.This combination of economic, cultural and military ascendency must coincide with decline of the same in countries professing abrahamic religions in the subcontinent. This is a generational project and many things could go wrong on the way. I also understand that it could be seen as far fetched at this time.
I am not proponent of this, but just see this as a side effect of possible Bharat's ascendancy.
Brazil had more of a chance to become a first world, industrialized, technologically advanced and influential country in the World than India would be. Brazil is a country with immense natural wealth, almost 3 times the size of India, right number of population (215 million), vast agricultural surplus, vast forest and mineral resources, still stuck as a middle income country, a middle power in the global affairs. Brazil's society and politics are not regressive and hate-filled, divisive like hindutva ruling power base in India. Brazilian don't believe in Cow urine will give this or that benefits or cow dung will cure COVID-19, or ancient Brazilian undertook intergalactic voyage. They are a liberal, progressive society with everything in their favor, yet are stuck in the middle income. Same case with rest of Latin America, South Africa, Russia etc.
It is doubtful even China with all it's industrial might could break into developed country status given it's size and rapidly aging population. No country with regressive, divisive rightwing ideology ever achieved prosperity, global power, prestige and influence. Why BJP-RSS ruled Bharat will be any different? Your ruling BJP-RSS is running on socio-economic modernization and institutions built by moderate Congress party in the previous six decades. India is enjoying now a demographic sweet spot which will end in the next 2-3 decades. Then things will not look as rosy as it is now. It will be an uphill battle then to achieve things which is now coming easily. So, don't be so sure about ''Bharat's ascendancy''.
