India is most certainly gaining power at major events and companies. Yet, according to statistics, India would reach The 5th position by the year 2020. Only if they keep their internal regulators at hand with due control. (Stock market and much more!) Its like a major development in less than 100 years!\n\nBut United States of America would still be the No.1 in position in the world in the year 2020.\n\nPlease do not use SMS abbreviated words in a place like this!

a super power is sometimes defined soley based on the ability to have nuclear weapones.  i disagree, i purpose this critera.\n\nthe ability to project, economic and political force in addition to both conventional and nuclear military power outside of ones region.  the ability to draw competing countires together in common cause.  on that defintion, india has made strides, but is not a super power.  will it reach these, yes, potentially, 40-50 years.

one day if the US gets a little more power over the rest of the world and some technological advances the US could actually become and empire and use its influence to in effect rule the world.....or.....maybe one day the superpowers of the world will decide to band together and make the entire world and all its people into an unbreakable empire...hey you may laugh now but one day it could happen.

The only other country that has a power to take over as a super power is Peoples Republic of China. It is economically fastest growing nation and has the ability to stand against all the other nation. I would never agree to EU or India as they have a hiostroy of splitting and no co herence between them India has its own problems. But no 2 would be Australia.

The emergence of China as a world power would (in the long run) augur well for the world's Balance of Power.\nThe present Unipolarity that is been experienced would change to Multipolarism with the emergence of other super powers.\nI dont really beleive that China is practising the true tenets of communism. Am sure the "gods" of communism wont be happy with the nature of comunism being practised there!!!\nChina, I believe, is tending more towards capitalism & that would in the long run help the global economy develop faster.

In the near future I would say, yes. They will become an economic juggernaut, they do have nuclear weapons, and it is only a matter of time that they begin to launch their own space program.\n\nWhat are we to do? How about playing the Chinese govt. against the Indian govt., to keep these two powers to be, in check.\n\nOne thing we can do, is stop this suicidal policy of free trade, and globalization. Otherwise kiss your jobs good bye

unfortunately not.  Too many people in India compared to US.  Unless India attacks america and occupy its land...they stands no chance.  There are very few countries in the world that did invade other coutries and occupied land.  India and China are two such countries.  No wonder why these two countries are now  over crowded.

The term Superpower is a political one. Power comes in many forms. Now, the battle rages in the economic world. America is a superpower in that world, and will remain one beyond ten years from now. Europe will become an economic superpower, as will China and maybe Russia, if it can stabilize its political and judicial systems and overcome the current level of corruption and economic depression. India, Brazil,and the "Union of South American Nations" might be superpowers in the next 50 years.\n\nThe status of 'Superpower' will be lost by the USA in the next 50 years as the loss of fundamental natural supports begin to take effect. These natural supports and the hard work of the American people have lifted America to its present position. When they come to an end, America will lose the strength that has led it thus far. These fundamental supports are:\n1. Agricultural productivity. This fundamental support is using up the supplies of ground water that accumulated since the last melt of the ice age. This water is only replaced by rain and snow fall. But the water is being taken out of the ground faster than nature can replace it. When it is gone, a new 'dust bowl' will occur in the most productive heartland of America. Farmers will abandon the land and seek employment elsewhere. A new depression will occur and the economy will collapse.\n2. Natural resources. The use and over-use of natural resources now extends into the arctic circle. At some point there will not be enough left to feed the mass market. The rate of consumption will fall since there will be fewer products to buy. Prices will rise since companies will try to maintain their workforce at current levels. But increases in productivity will not be possible since there will be shortages of key natural materials such as copper.\n3. The education system will continue to improve. The spectrum of education systems now ranges to chaotic inner city disaster areas, to outstanding, brilliant educational systems. One of the events will force America to realize that education is the only answer to the problems of the future and real money will be poured into education. Personalized Education might become a real possibility, enabling students to become the best they can be, not just the best that the society needs.\n4. The US Dollar will continue to be the world's strongest currency, because most of the world wants it to be. The problems re this question is that too many dollars will be held by groups of corporations outside of America. They will buy up as much of the real estate in America as they can. They will become more and more powerful, and outside the control of American internal laws. This will blur what America is and what it means to be an American. The international corporations will become more and more powerful politically. \n5. In finance, the power will shift to international banking alliances without patriotic ties to America. Their goal will be to make money and if that means America will be poorer for it, they won't care. They won't care if any country is hurt by their policies as long as they make money.\n6. In technology, short sighted American corporations will export technology to China in hopes of increasing profits. Corporations in China, many of which are half owned by the Chinese government, will share technology freely - against the intellectual property rights of the patent holders - and the overall growth of Chinese technology will surpass that of the US. China will land men on the moon. America will probably give up any hope of landing men on Mars. The exploration of outer space will be left to robots. America will not be the only nation sending robots to Titan's moons and the asteroids in hopes of finding a vast wealth of natural resources there.\n7. The value that America attaches to each soldier's life will remain high. In order to provide US soldiers with the best weapons, the R&D into weapon technolog

Try reading the book " The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order" Samuel P. Huntington, 1996. He predicts that future conflicts will be determined by cultural factors more than economic or ideological factors. The Western world needs to develop a deeper understanding of religious and philosophical concepts of other civilizations. Religious and cultural fundamentalism can only gain ground by using for their own benifit the contemporary problems such as underdevelopment, unemployment, poverty and racism. And yes China, will become the next World Superpower and will have a strong relationship with Rusia and Japan. These are the results of his studies based on history and facts.

only as long as russia remains in control of there assets.\nthey have opend up new contracts for oil companies some were booted out also due to there demands,but there are vast fields there of oil and natural gas,and they do sell to china japan the us and europe,they are simply at the mostly max ability at the moment due to aging stations and abilities to transort it,new pipelines are going up and new routes opening due to ice melt and exposing even more fields,so global warming has its good sides also,doesnt it

ok well Russia is in a decline of democracy (its killing them), India is good but they have too many proverty problems, EU is geting quite strong but they still are too young for any control, China is the answer they have had so many advancs in 20 years and are currenty working on space engineering. I believe the Chinese will be since they already monopolize the industries and trade...It all a matter of time.

China and the E.U. already are superpowers. India will probably be a superpower by 2050 or 2075. \n\nAs for the chances of them "overtaking" the U.S., they're slim. China and India have major cultural, political, and economic problems to sort out, and the European Union will need to see a drastic shift in the supernational culture.\n\nThat doesn't mean it's impossible... the U.S. has made a colossal strategic blunder in the amount of money it's borrowed to finance the Iraq War, and it will take a generation or two to recover. It's possible that China could attempt to exploit that, with the likely result of pushing the EU to the top of the pile.

No.  India lacks the natural resources to make it a super power.\n\nThe USA has plenty of natural resources as it developed into a super power.  India lacks this benefit.  It societal structure will limit its abilities also.  The caste system will limit the intellectuals from working closely together.
