Get off the shrooms man...
what is so funny here? The US only has 300 million people, thus it is not big enough.
for example, the US is no longer the biggest car market in the world, why? because there is only 300 million people.

If more the better is the solution for economic power then China would not enforce a one child policy and India won't be desperately trying to somehow reduce her population.
Your economic thinking has a lot to be desired.
there is no such "more the better", however, 300 million is just not enough, otherwise your nation won't keep being an immigration country. you just can't deny this.
counter balance?
u r gud at categorical declarations even if u have no idea abt what u r talking.... first manufacturing bullets have nothing to do with counter balancing and secondly ur claim is wrong.. just google it if u have access to it.. I am not going to feed ur ignorance..
Also there is a difference between ally and living together due to necessity !! China may become a necessity to USA, but that also assumes India doesnt develop to contribute or be closer to USA in economic terms...
you just can't deny this.
US keeps immigrating people because for any civilization to survive and grow the birth rate or population replacement rate needs to be close to 2, the lower it is, population grows older, the higher it is .. u face overload in terms of unemployment and likewise...

in general America is a threat to us, but not as big as India -- in other words, the US is not big enough to be qualified to be our biggest enemy. Yes, that also means we see India as a rising power which will quickly overtake the US in a few decades.
Wooow!!!
Mr shchinese, i would recommend you to type with both your hands on the keyboard
NOT with one hand while the other is holding something(u know)...
I do accept India as a rising power, U(china) are already asia's super power.
I donot and will never agree with you when you say India or China is going to overtake USA as the world's superpower..

When exactly did China become a superpower.?
was it when China said it did?
was it when the media said it did?
was it when the US public grew scared and said it did because they perceive it it as a threat to their dominance?
Or was it when they did?, no it inst a super power.
Its a regional power, and an emerging super power.
Its not a super power yet, but its on its way.
let me repeat my previous post: when China/India's GDP per capita is equal to the standard of Mexico, the US will just be another UK.
please note, we are talking about the standard of Mexico in terms of GDP per capita.

Qatar's GDP per capita is way above the US right now...does that mean Qatar is a superior power?

Dear Chinese Friend
We understand China is super power... India is no match to it (today)... so what?
Do you want every one around you to beg to you and align to you... First of all you have to understand there is some thing called
Mother Nature.. and China is playing very hard with her.. And she is the only super power. She can shake any big city to dust.
again India is not any exception ..
Chinese has done some great things in space science ; that doesnt mean others should sit and watch what china is doing.
India has 700 million poors; yes we agree but by applying information from space science we are able to acchive atleast 1% improvement on their lives.. we consider it good.
and we are not wasting money on ISRO as you guys claim. for every $1 spent on isro it returns back $2 to the counrty + lot of other valuable info to uplift poor.. that is more than 100% return
if your point is "Future is Only with China" ; well
.. continue your 
after 20 years your will see .
The basic fact that you guys dont like India ; this shows how fearful you are with Inida..
I tell you dont get much scared ... and dont put your hate words in all thread..

ISRO Mars Orbiter to search for ground water
August 31, 2009, (Sawf News) - The Indian Mars Orbiter will join the international effort in assessing the suitability of Mars to life by searching for groundwater on trapped in aquifers on the planet for thousands of years.
The 500kg orbiter will also study the effect of solar wind on the Mars' atmosphere and its surface magnetic field.
ISRO is planning to launch the Mars orbiter using a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). The Indian Government has sanctioned seed money of Rs 10 crore to carry out various studies on experiments to be conducted.
Mission studies have been completed and ISRO has invited scientific payload proposals from agencies all over the world.
"We have given a call to international agencies to submit their proposals. We will be able to plan our mission depending on the type of experiments they propose to conduct," ISRO Chief G Madhavan Nair said on Monday, August 31, at the start of the Eight International Conference on Low Cost Planetary Missions in Panaji.
ISRO is looking at a launch window between 2013-2015.

Chandrayaan 2 Design Completed-Expected to be operational in the next two years
The Indian space program got another shot in the arm with the initial design phase of the Chandrayaan 2 being completed. While this is just the beginning of what is arguably India's most ambitious space project ever, the success of the design phase in itself is an achievement mainly because of its inherent complexity.
The Chandrayaan 2 mission will consist of a lunar rover that will be dropped on to the lunar surface once the craft reaches the lunar orbit. The main duty of the rover would be to collect and analyze lunar soil and transmit the data back to the data centers on earth. Pertinent to note here is the fact that while the spacecraft would be indigenously made, the lunar rover will be made by Russia.
The Chandrayaan 2 is expected to be operational in the next two years, after the life of the existing Chandrayaan 1 almost comes to an end. India had launched the Chandrayaan 1 in October 2008. Already a successful mission, it had been recently hit by a technical snag that jeopardized its operations. However, the Chandrayaan 1 has already accomplished 95 percent of the objectives assigned to it. Another thing to note is that the Chandrayaan 1 will augment the Lunar landing of the rover as the scientists are using data obtained from the Chandrayaan 1 to decide on the perfect landing schedule for the lunar rover.
Now that the design phase is over, we would be seeing a prototype of the Chandrayaan 2 soon. In the next two years, work on the spacecraft is expected to continue at a steady pace till the day of the launch.
