the answer is yes India is becoming an technological super power and that we must thank that to bill gates. they are already trying to launch a mission to the space , they posses half of Microsoft , they are one billion people and growing . meaning that this is only a matter of time and that there is little other countries but china can do about it.\n\n\non the other side India is a super corrupt country and this may slow the progress of many. it is very common braiding in India and many think that is the only way to progress in there. they still fallow traditions like arranging marriage of kids, they can only marry people who are from their group (there is five of them) getting kill for showing that u have a lot of  money  at the streets is also common and all this aptitudes will not let India to get along whit other countries . \n\n\nbut lets not forget that they also posses a vast armament of weapons of mass destruction and that they may be capable of using them against their enemies the Pakistanis. many think that India is a country where everyone is poor but they are mistaken there is alot of people whit alot of money in there.

Yes, India is more powerful than Pakistan in terms of military might. India has almost double the manpower and combat equipment as a previous poster has pointed out. But as another poster mentions, today, military might cannot be solely measured in terms of numbers. There are more factors that come into play.\nFor eg: Though India has a very large military, they have 3 hostile borders to defend (Pakistan, China and Bangladesh). So its large army's resources are stretched. Even if there's a conflict with Pakistan, India just cannot afford to dedicate its entire army to the conflict, it still has to maintain reasonable force levels at the Chinese and Bangla borders. Pakistan on the other hand, can dedicate almost all resources to the conflict with India. Iran and Afghanistan are not about to invade them from the other side and the Chinese are their best pals. They even share nuclear weapons technology clandestinely. So you see how..... though India's military is larger, Pakistan can match them almost equally if you consider the above.\nNow lets look at another angle.... the economies! Here, India wins hands down. Their economy can sustain a war for much longer than Pakistan. Pakistan just does not have the resources to withstand and sustain a war effort for long. If the Indian Navy were to blockade Karachi harbour, Pakistan would probably run out of oil within a month.\nAnyways, there are just too many such factors. If you look at the overall picture, India will still win any conflict with Pakistan... but eventually... as in, it may not be a cake-walk.

Unlikely, because as these two countries become more industrialized the growing strain on workd esources will snap and send us into a nasty depression. \n\n  The price of steel is astronomical right now, making it difficult on the oil companies, pushing up the price of oil. With all of the new construction in India and China, what other possible outcome is there? Perhaps a world war to stay off global starvation?

We owe China billions of dollars, japan and china own large chunks of American land and commercial properties, in 5 years  India will surpass us, China which has surpassed us already in economic base. This is why China is most favorable.\n\n                              I AM

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.

i dont think so, because china's main short term target is usa and long term target is india. since india is in asia china wouldn't do that.\nand although the genetics are different for every human many are similar.\nlike their is a theory that indians are acutally caucasian (white).

Most definitely yes.\nChina is a very Old and disciplined country that has survived\nfor so many years. thus their huge population.\nThey have the technology and resources to control the world economically. It will be through economic rule that China will be able to dominate the world.\nand if called on the China army is well equipped to defend itself.

Not at all.  In military and atomic power India is not a puppet like Iraq or Afgan.  Even if the 100 million people walks over, the invation will come to end.  US will not take this kind of invation decision against India or China fearing the population these countries have.
