NOT in the first half. In the latter half maybe. Indias GDP rises at about 7% every year. Whereas, America's at 1.7%. However, the major difference is: In America with a GDP of for instance 1000, it will be 1017. Whereas, in India the GDP will be 100 and be 107 in the next year. Now you figure out for yourself. I see China as the Country of the Century.

India and Pakistan just need to let it go.  Threaten to give it to China, then the residents will make a decision real fast!

I don't agree that the American government is unwittingly doing so. I believe that they are doing so as part of a broader agenda to keep their status as the only superpower in the world. \n\nTheir fling with India is to act as a check in east Asia to the rise of China. Historically, India has a better relationship with the US than China did. Thus as Asia's second most populous country, the US would want to promote growth in India to act as a counterbalance to that of China. India was meant to be groom as a strong competitor for China in order to slow down the rise and threat of China. However, in doing so, they damaged the relationship with Pakistan, so is crucial if they ever want to stem out terrorism in Afghanistan.\n\nAs for the middle east, the Bush government was trying to stabilize the oil market by attacking Iraq. However, Bush failed to consider the backlash or such an actions. I believe Bush did not forsee that such a war would be polarized into a religious war and have such great public outcry against the Americans. In short, he messed it all up.\n\nIn the midst of all the rumbles in Asia, Bush failed to take  actions on the rise of leftist leaders in his own backyard, South America. Trouble would rise from within S.America, and that Bush would scramble to put out the fire. In doing so, asia would once sink back into pre-Iraqi war state of relation. Natural cycle would eventually sort out all the rubbish Bush created for us. :)\n\nHowever, you have to strike out strong democracy as on the the key elements to make the world safer. The America government is proclaiming to be soldiers of democracy. It is this very idea that G Bush is using to attack Iraq after no WMD was found. I dont see how it makes the world safer when democracy is the war cry of a facist. :)

Those who isolate will lose. Those who join will win out. India and China are rising stars in the big picture. Australia and Brazil are rising regionally.

Not really, there are certain aspect that India must achieve. Have you read Business Week about india economic growth ? There are certain level that India must achieve before India can be higher than China, e.g the transportation and the infrastructure, also Indian people should work in India instead of going out to deliver their knowledge. But in terms of IT, India is much better. Now, China and India in compete in every aspect and world knows about it.

India offers cheap brainpower, China offers cheap manpower.\n\nThrough the Internet, it is easier to outsource services to India. There is even math and science tutoring of American teens by Indian tutors, using the Net and the phone.\n\nIf you want to read about what is REALLY going on with these two countries and how they will shape the new global economy by the middle of this century, read The World is Flat, by Thomas Friedman (already sold 1.5 million copies) and Three Billion New Capitalists, by Clyde Prestowitz.\n\nThe outsourcing aspects concern business executives, but the REAL impact will be on North American jobs as the Indians and Chinese are both smart and hungry for a piece of the action.\n\nThe new global economy is slowly becoming an "Olympic" economy where the best workers from each developed country will be competing directly with the best workers from other countries.

India. But just because they have a potential for economic success, doesn't mean they will be a superpower. Take Japan for instance, there was a time when the yen was stronger than the dollar and so they bought American land. But then they mismanaged and lost it all. India and China both have a loooong way to go to be a superpower, much less replace the US as one.Keep in mind that both countries have severe infrastructure problems. Ever used a toilet in China? Just a hole in the ground. Try looking at the sky in a city like Beijing. Good luck, cause the pollution is so bad you can't. Their medical care is non existant. I don't need to go on about India either. nope, The United States of America is still and will always be the only real superpower in the World. Ask any nation that has dared to go to war with us because they thought we were finished. They lost. Americans are the most adaptable and independent people in the world.

Yes. There is every possibility of China turning out to be a Super Power. But as Indian we should feel proud and happy about the fact that India is also heel-to-heel and neck-to-neck with China for claiming its barth in the vehicle of Super Power.\nIf we're to believe the Western Economists, particularly the American Econimists and Sociologists, then the Centre of Power is likely to move from U. S. A to China and India by 2020 A. D. The US economy will collapse, the Stock Exchanges will be busted. They have also predicted the chance of India to be greater than China because India is the largest democracy of the world whereas China is still looming under Communist regime. The outside nations cannot get free access to the State Data to assess its real strength. Moreover, China is trying to control the World Economy and its balance of trade on its own hypothetical, superficial and abnormal terms. When the big business houses and MNCs find out India with greater buying and spending power then will discard China in no time and flock towards India. Dumping of cheap goods, with huge state subsidies, to other Countries to destroy its economy is also a very bad and suicidal policy adopted by China. Last year garments, lingeries and other apparrels valued millions of dollars were rejected by the European Countries and not claimed by the consignees, who ordered those, from the local Port and left to be unclaimed and destroyed. At that time Indian textile traders got a very good start to market their products at a higher price than initially offered by Chinese traders.\nDon't worry in the Super Power Lobby also Hindi-Chini would be Bhai Bhai.

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.
