India is a regional leader, says US

[Riaz Mohammed]

Good thing India got US permission before declaring itself a "regional leader". On a serious note though, what country in the region is willing to follow India?

India has considerable control over Bangladesh , Sri Lanka , Bhutan, Maldives, Seychelles etc etc and Nepal. India is a regional power when you consider the armed forces and economy. Obviously, your counter would be to show us "china" as a better regional power. China is perceived as stronger, but it does not change the fact that India is regional power as well.

The question should rather be, "What country in the region is capable of following India?".

No country follow China either (except Pakistan offcourse), it's not about how many followers you have, it's about the influence you exert on your territory.

What was the criteria for declaring regional power?
Population?- Slums?- Toiletlesness?-

Influence on regional issues and security

All Indians are smart enough not to beleive what US says. Their buttering have no effect on us. We know our shortcomings and are continuing to improve them.
