Well i think you should not comment on any thing which you dont know. I am sure you see India what is bein show by the media. If you really want to know about India come here and live here, I am sure you will love this country. India cannot be defined as a single country. Indian is multi culture and multi language country.\n \nFinally India is not a state its a Big and Developing Country and worlds most growing economy.

Very soon.\n\nIt has one of the largest economies in the world.  It is ranked fomrwhere between 10th - 4th largest depending on how you measure it.\n\nIt has one of the largest film industires in the world.  This should give it major influence on world culture.\n\nIt also is a free and democratic nation, with respect for human rights and property rights.  This gives it a major edge in the international community when compared with China.\n\nI would say that within the next 20-30 years India will be seen as a major world power, within super power status.

Let not your imagination run fast.\nIntodays world the smaller a nation the more merry for all the rest. See USSR it has been split. \nSo the days of any two power joining to swallow another power are over. \nRemember the culture of each area varies and the people living therein want their independence. So some type of PANCHAYAT RAJ\nat each village level under the over all control of a joint head may work well. \nEven in the worst of dream no INDIAN would wish anything happence to the independence of PAKISTAN or AFGANISTAN or CEYLON or BANGLADESH.or NEPAL

Kerala's economy is predominantly agrarian in nature. In terms of per capita income and production Kerala is lagging behind many of the Indian States. But in terms of Human Development Index and life standard of the people, Kerala is much ahead of most other states in India, and, in fact, in certain development indices it is on a par with some of the developed countries.\n\nThis peculiar paradox often termed as the KERALA PHENOMENON or Kerala model of development by experts, which is mainly owing to the performance of the State in the Service Sector.

The present day India is far advanced than "a developed nation" in terms of 1970s or 1980s. Let me be clear in that..... what I meant to say is.... if you look back in 1970s or 1980s, the countries we termed as developed had lesser development compared to present day India. So in a way, we can say India is already developed. The problem comes when we try to compare it with present day USA or UK or JAPAN and like-wise. \n\nI think, being a developed nation doesnt necessarily have to be full of skyscrapers. It could be reflected in other aspects too. India's economy is growing in a spectacular pace, software industry is booming, foreign investment is booming, companies world wide are not thinking twice to jump into indian market, cell phone industry is so successful that you have better mobile pieces and global rates in India than in other countries. Everybody carries a cell phone in India. I mean..Everybody! Communication barriers has been lift. Social changes and awareness are occuring in a steady pace. With so many things happening, India is developed is already developed. \nWell...if you want to hear "developed nation" on papers...I think its not too far. Japan came into developed nations list only in 1960s. India can make it too and will make it for sure in near future.

Well...\n\nIndia IS a democratic country so it's probably okay. As well,the Wise Elder made some very good points.\nOn the other hand,we should all be doing what we can to control nuclear technology so that it's not used in the manufacture of weapons.Maybe that's part of the reasoning\nbehind this. After all,India isn't Iran.

india is democracy. Democracy helps when majority population is educated/able to make proper decisions on issues/candidates, else it can be unsuccessful, as unscrupulous people or theives can get voted by making false/wrong statements.

What the question takes for granted is that there is some entity that can be called 'World Power' with all the accompanying connotations of how that power can be used over others in various ways. The question is not just irrelevant, but also dangerous in that it promotes the desire of and acquisition of power that OVERPOWERS, whereas real power PROTECTS. \nTo answer the question in a limited context, India is making progress here and there; its urban elite earns more and has access to modern technology and many comforts that are perceived as part of a lifystyle worthy of envy and emulation. Yet, there are huge slums in the cities, which portray a stark contrast between urban prosperity and urban poverty, seen as they are side by side. Millions in rural India still suffer for want of basic necessities of life and have little or no access to education and healthcare. \nIt is not only erroneous to speak of India as a world power in the making, it is ridiculous and perhaps even sad to even suggest that transition. The question, in a sense, betrays our preoccupation with POWER. If we instead concentrate on questions relevant to peaceful cooperation and coexistence, we will ensure a better world for all humanity. The least we can do is to refrain from asking such questions and by so doing save ourselves precious time and energy.

When India was pro-USSR, it got USA edgy and they started befriending Pakistan and selling them arms. Now these very weapons are in the hands of terrorits now and being used against US.\n\nUSSR is no longer in the scene as a Super Power and Uncle Sam realises the potential India has as a fast developing economic super power.\n\nNeed I say more?

Indian politics is somewhat based on exploiting sentiments and situations of illiterate and poor people, in spite of that India has huge potential of becoming one of the developed nations if our natural and human resources are properly utilised.

not 1 but we need to do 2 things...1) free and similar education to all right from primary to higher level...and 2) free medical facilities to all teh citizens of India.\nthis will bring up huge changes not only to the mindset of people but also a feeling of belongingness to country...man needs most help emotional as well as monetory when some near and dear 1 is ill...if teh govt. provide him at that critical time then he will feel happy and obliged towards govt. and will not try to sabbotage ne efforts made by the govt...also he will pay his taxes happily for some1 else like him will be benefited by this act.\nso free education and medical facility to all is a must to grow responsible citizens.
