these things take time.
I would say, give it another 10 -15 years. India will rise in importance.
low levels of violence, business / work mentality give me hope.
aside from this, we do have good soft power even in the current times- and Indians tend to have a global presence and good reputation overall.

If India is the same as Nigeria and pakistan can't defeat India ... does it mean pakistan is weaker than Nigeria?

We are going to becoem a super power whether anybody likes it or not. We have all building blocks to become super power and mst important of all is the hyper generous manpower. I foresee Indians all the way in the world in the area of science and high technology. Whole world put to gather shall not be able to compete India in this area. We need to harness it in proper way. We have seen this in IT sector and R & D. We have seen this in the area of Leadership and management. This trend is going to grow only. Indian Religion and culture is going to fing big taking all over.

The another aspect of India is its ability to deal with complex issues. How we tackled rescission and terrorism is a a classical example of our ability to deal with complex issues. There is nothing parallel we can find in the world.

What does India need to become a superpower?

The first thing is for it to become a Great Power. This is defined in international relations as a sovereign state with the ability to exert its influence globally. We can count the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — the US, China, France, Russia, the UK — as Great Powers.

They can influence global events because of their Security Council veto, but also because of their wealth and military power. In some of these states, like France and the UK, military power is deliberately being allowed to dwindle as war is less likely between countries today.

Not quite Modi-fied!

After these five come two other states that are influential globally economically, but not militarily, and they are Germany and Japan. After these are smaller states that are wealthy but not particularly influential, like Spain, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Taiwan, Italy, Chile, Australia, the Nordic nations and so on.

India can be clubbed in the group of nations under these, with other large populations that are not wealthy and because of a lack of resources are not powerful militarily. These include South Africa, Indonesia, Brazil and Nigeria. It may surprise the reader that I am clubbing India with Nigeria, but both countries have the same per capita income. It is only India’s large population that makes it seem more relevant than it actually is.

To put this in perspective, India’s nominal Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, in nominal dollars is much less than Italy’s. But Italy’s population is only 60 million people (or six crore), meaning it is 20 times smaller than India’s population. So India is less than five per cent as productive per individual as Italy. This is changing in India’s favour, but very slowly.

Pakistan on its way to becoming ‘mini superpower’ by 2025

So what does India need to do to turn into a Great Power? I would say only a very small aspect of this is the job of the government. If we look at India’s financial newspapers, the theme is focused on ‘reforms’. There is an insistence that the government bring about reforms if India is to succeed. Reforms generally address deregulation and ease of doing business. The fact is that many nations have carried out reforms but are not Great Powers. There are nations that have carried out no reforms and have become Great Powers. The Soviet Union was a command economy, meaning every single thing was run by the government and there was no reform. But the Soviets regularly managed double digit growth between 1947 and 1975 on a much higher per capita income than India’s. Cuba has no deregulation either but it has among the highest Human Development Indicators (for health and education) anywhere in the world. So clearly ‘reforms’ is not the only thing needed. There are two conditions all successful countries in history, without exception, have met.

The first is the penetration of the state. I define this as the ability of governments to monopolise violence, to make their citizenry submit voluntarily to taxation, to efficiently deliver justice and services. It doesn’t matter whether the state is capitalist, socialist, dictatorial or democratic. It must penetrate. The Indian state regularly fails in all of the above, even in Gujarat.

The second condition is a robustness and dynamism in society. A progressive society is marked by its ability to invent, by its instinct to do philanthropy. This is a complex subject and I will write about it another time.

So far as the first condition goes, in simple terms, it is not about laws or changes in laws. In short, it is not about ‘reform‘. It is about governance. It is about the ability of the state to implement. In the absence of that, no changes in law will mean anything.

Pakistan will become fifth largest nuclear power by 2025: report

This is why the prime minister’s speech in Malaysia interested me. These are the main points of what he said: “Reform is not an end in itself. Reform for me is just a way station on the long journey to the destination. The destination is the transformation of India.”

He added that when he was elected in May 2014, the economy faced serious challenges in the high fiscal and current account deficits, stalled infrastructure projects and persistent inflation. “It was obvious that reforms were needed. We asked ourselves the question — reforms for what? What is the aim of reform? Is it just to increase the measured rate of GDP growth? Or is it to bring about a transformation in society? My answer is clear: we must ‘reform to transform’,” he said.

It seems to me he has framed the issue in the right way. Of course, in my opinion societies are not transformed by governments from the outside, but from within, culturally.
