How do Americans feel about the rise of India as an economic power and a potential superpower?

Not good. Especially as we believe it is hogwash and lies made up by the media. India remains to us a thrid world country with good cheap labor.

well, one easy way to improve relations with india would be to side with them in the border dispute with pakistan over the territory of kashmir.  this politically untenable in the united states however, and has the potential to drag the US into what could turn into a nuclear war.  so that's right out.\n\nanother option would be to sign a preferential trade agreement with india, but this would likely be nixed by the WTO.\n\ngiving them free stuff is always a plus, but that costs money.\n\nprobably the best thing the US can do is to continue doing what it's doing - particularly, outsourcing software jobs at wages well above india's national average, allowing lots of indian students to come to the US to study, hiring indians on work visas for high-paying jobs, and continuing free trade in infrastructure like steel and concrete to support india's growth.\n\nthe biggest bone of contention is probably the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.  india is one of a very few nations which has refused to sign it and this is a big problem for the US.  india will receive only limited military support from america until the two countries reconcile their differences over this treaty.

I agree with you wholeheartedly about the Hispanic visitors and immigrants. Most would leave tomorrow if we Americans just stopped hiring them.\n\nI don't understand your claim about India and China. They are growing economies and will soon surpass the USA but it is not like they are doing anything but growing - doing what comes naturally.  And, they are investing in the USA like crazy too. Did you know that the largest owner of US Treasury bills is the Peoples Republic of China?

The short answer is 'No'. I think it is hard to define what you put as "Anglo-American" powers.  Do you mean the West, or specifically England and the United States?  In any event, we must realize that neither the West nor the Islamic world is a monolithic entity.  There are widely varrying strains and currents throughout both.  From a strategic perspective, the US is unrivaled.  From an ideological perspective, there are ongoing shifts toward conservativism and fundementalism in both the West and the Arab world.  These shifts are largely reactionary to the rise of globalism.  Ultimately the historical trend toward openness and integration, driven by a global economy, will overcome zenophobic impulses in both the West and the entire Islamic world.

America is a superpower whose power is unbalanced in the world today. However, America will not die like Rome, but simply fade like Great Britain. New powers are emerging China, India, The European Union, and possibly Russia or Japan. Now on the world stage there could be four or five great world powers and the world like there were prior to World War II. America will always be here, but it will have to compete with these new markets. China is the fast grower, but India will surpass in 50 years. Britain faced the same challenges and it just passed the torch off to us. We will probably pass it off to India because they are an ally and the world's largest democracy. America will always hold a seat at the UN security council, but new seats will need to be added. So America will not be squashed, but it's power will be diminished.

China becomes the new economic superpower... U.S. becomes much more like current eurpean nations are now... powerful, but not the main power... overall, there won't be a major difference on "the streets"

I think it's the beginning of the end of America as the only super power. We are now doing the exact same things that Rome did before the Fall; becoming a service oriented country, outsourcing our manufacturing businesses, spreading our military out in a major way, etc. etc. . There's other things I'm not listing- I would hope that Americans are curious enough to look and learn. Remember the phrase " Those who don't renenber history are bound to repeat it."

These two countries don't like each other and India has a more favorable attitude towards America. The "Cold War" conditions set in long ago also allow India to help us out with China.\n\nChina is a real sleeping giant and it's best for us the keep an eye on them.

I think most educated Americans think Indians are interesting, hard-working people. Sometimes we can be a little condescending because your accents are so sing-song and pleasant that we think you are simple, but we get past this pretty quickly once we get to know you.\n\nOverall, Americans have no problem with Indians. There has never been any real animosity between our nations, so we don't fear you or resent you. \n\nI personally like most Indians I know.

Not Sure, There is a great chance to INDIA to become Super Power.

Not for a very long time rest easy. Since China artificially manipulates its currency and economic system, it will take some major changes to give it the real shakeup.\n\nfor your question, US should continue to be a world power atleast till 2080 followed by China and India. India will eventually takeover China by late 2090 to be the world's 2nd Superpower. By 2120, India will be the Largest Superpower, followed by China and US.

No, it wants to be just like the USA\n\nFunny how USA just signed an agreement to supply India with nuclear material

100% chance of them taking over the USA,  right after I fly out of a frozen over hell on my pig with monkeys flying out my butt.\nBesides already being super powers why would they want to\nYour a little behind on world events\nChina, EU, and India are already super powers

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.

The thing of being a super power after the second world war kinda got to americas head. Now japan rules it has the power and tech. to take on america but it dosent show off like america. America just pokes its nose in other poeples business they just wanna show that still are in power but reality check. they aint!   like for instance the time when tensions grew between india and pakistan.USA barged in and told they wont let a war take happen they just want a piece of the action, what happened then india told them to back off this is our issue and we will resolve it.

getting a little fed up with hearing from fanatics who constantly worry about who is 'a threat to America'. India is a poverty stricken third world continent which just may be beginning to drag itself out of the dirt, for the good of its people. What do you want to do, blow up their factories? The western world has a good standard of living so give them a chance to taste some of the same. They have rights too! Or is it that any excuse to start a war will do, huh? Sickening
