The most used words of India medias is "superpower" and "India shining"

You ask the member of this forum.... Did any one heard these two words??

And you ask again... Did any one heard Chinese said about " superpower" or "China shining" in this forum as China has a GDP 5 times of India??

You just need to search in Google...so many and I have't so much time.

Just the recently one.. With a terrible economic ...

India to surpass China, will become world's largest economy by 2050: Report - Economic Times

kid where do you get those fancy numbers? middile-class according to your bharati propaganda and delusion?

your indian private car ownership is like 1/5 of China's, and your fashion, lesiure and high end commodity consumption is a drawft compared to China, not to mention Luxury sector (cant even compared to a chinese city HK)``these are the essential parameters of a nation's purchasing power of its middle-class population.. but your so-called '35%' middle-class's annual consumption of those are less than a Chinese city``lol

Sorry. He was wrong. The Percentage of middle class
are more than that as the India's poor is about 33 percent in 2010. So you do the math. And these are world bank data. And again sorry we are evaluated strictly by world bank using $1.25 per day unlike Chinese standards of $1.00 per day and world bank does not have data for you after 2005.

Yes, like Africa is the most backward and its not growing. Therefore, they fit in the character of tortoise. But India is growing faster than Africa, does this make India the rabbit.

Please come up with something that make sense instead using aesop's fable for relationship between nations.

 

[ProudBeingIndian]

nice joke.

by 2040 india will extremely lucky if its country has not broken into 10 different countries.

Actually that is true.

There is a big North/South and East/West divide in India.

India is not going to be a super-power.

British Empire and then USA were lucky that they are surrounded by water which gives the ability to project power without a fear of a land invasion of their country.

India has no such luxury. With China on one side, Pakistan on the other. India is hemmed in. And it can't breakthrough to project power as it needs major resources tied up defending its homeland.

The only thing India can manage is being a regional power in South Asia and thats it.

And besides, India buys its weapons from other countries. Heck, even a 7 million population little country like Israel sells weapons over 1.2 billion Indians.

Thats the saddest part.

How many countries have lined up to buy sophisticated Indian Made Weaponry? ZERO

India historically is not a country. There were empires that composes a big part of today's Indian nation. But what tie the people of India subcontinent today is not different than what ties Europe together.

Today's India is resulted from the dissolution of the British empire. The founders of India militarily conquered states of India and name the country India. Otherwise, India today would composed of little countries base on state borders.

But Indians in PDF have more ambitions. They talk about exporting Brahmos or Tajas to Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and more recently, Vietnam and Philippines. Like if a country has any sort of conflict with China, Indian in here like to export these weapons.

India will become a super power, and every nation around her should respect that.

To become a superpower it takes time, it does not happen overnight. World Peace in this Planet cannot come soon enough and India will lead the way!
