India is a big country with diversity around every corner.  Difference in culture, ideologies, languages, everything...  Still it is one of the developing nations in this world.  \n\nGive India some time.  It will eventually become one of the greatest countries in this world.  \n\nThe driving force behind every nation is its people.  Let us all forget about what everyone else should do to develop our nation and concentrate on our skills and abilities, especially those that will help our country develop.

You English people wont know the greatness of India. India is better than England in all ways. We didnt go to take someones land and take all its riches and at last separate it into three so that it wont grow that fast. India has powerful men like me who will try hard to make it the best.

This is a place where you can spread so many good things about your country among the people all around the globe. Don’t give any bad impression to others about your own country. If you can see just one good thing about India, post here. Dont give any wrong perceptions.   Already people have so many wrong perceptions about us here.

No such thing: every country is and should be unique. That gives a country it's identity. I think it depends on the mentality or personality as well as friendlyness. How boring it would be to see a satelite of countries acting the same!!

After China in population, I don't know how they can feed their citizens. So if hopeful, India will get No.1 in population in the world.

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.

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

There is no doubt that if given enough resources, India could one of the country who could make a difference. in last 1000 years, India is the only country who hasn't invaded anyone. considering that fact, India believes in peace and sentimental values, rather than profit and wealth (u are probably wondering what does that have to do with anything, but i have point) \nBut think of it this way, from a sociological aspect, families in India encourage their children to go other places to have peaceful life, away from all the curruption, rather than teaching their kids to make a difference in their own society. for example (very rich and famous one), an individual becomes a doctor, but he wants to practice anywhere but in India. they think, if i leave, how much impact am i going to have by staying here?? Indian people are smart, but not driven. they have values but no devotion for their community and country. thus, National health service lacks the resources of devoted people, not intellectuality or ethics. AND of course, corruption at so many levels. YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!!

India will be a superpower in the next 25 years and Bollywood may one day surpass Hollywood as the capital of the world entertainment industry. This might seem like a pipe dream, but these are the answers thrown up by a Times-CNN poll conducted in four metros. \n\nThe optimism however is tempered by a feeling that the country’s infrastructure poses a challenge to its growth. The road ahead, many feel, is not so smooth, as structural and social issues could impede development. \n\nNearly 63 per cent respondents feel India’s infrastructure will ultimately prevent it from becoming a global economic power. The feeling is more strong among respondents in Mumbai (77 per cent) and Kolkata (67 per cent), two cities that are coping with the hard realities of poor infrastructure. \n\nAsked whether the current government was adequately addressing the rich-poor divide, 58 per cent respondents felt otherwise. Gautam Nath, executive VP, TNS India explains, "Respondents feel the government has not addressed the rich/poor gap problem adequately. \n\nIn Mumbai, the feeling has grown after the recent floods, which explains why 77 per cent Mumbaikars felt so strongly about infrastructure being an impediment to growth. Concerns such as the hike in petroleum prices, power problems, water crisis and rising costs of basic utilities make them feel the government has not been active where it should be." \n\nOf the four metros, the level of disillusionment with the government is higher in the National Capital (62 per cent) and the financial capital of the country (61 per cent) as compared to Chennai and Kolkata. In Kolkata, only 52 per cent feel strongly against the government. Perhaps, the socialist government there which actively promotes socio-economic parity has something to do with this mindset. \n\nOn HIV/AIDS, 52 per cent of all respondents felt the government had not done enough. Natural, considering that officially there are over 5.1 million HIV positive cases in India; unofficial estimates put the figure at around 8.5 million. And the numbers are growing. \n\nOn whether Bollywood would surpass Hollywood as the entertainment capital of the world, there was a marked divide between two cities with the highest stake in the Hindi-centric industry. Delhi (54 per cent) and Mumbai (49 per cent) had more Bollywood supporters than Chennai and Kolkata with their own established Tamil and Bengali film industries. \n\nNath says, "The results show that the government, usually known for its lack of proactiveness and slow start, needs to prioritise its processes and public image." \n\n\n\nThe poll, conducted by market research firm TNS, was done in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. Seventy-five per cent of the respondents feel India could be the next superpower. What’s more, 41 per cent felt Bollywood could one day surpass Hollywood. \n\nAlso, with India’s GDP rivalling that of China, its firm commitment to democracy and a rapidly-growing rich and middle class, India’s future superpower status is assured, they feel. Mumbaikars (84 per cent) are more optimistic about the future. Delhi (75 per cent), Chennai (70 per cent) and Kolkata (68 per cent) are not so gung-ho.

Globalisation is a tricky subject because no matter how many different countries and languages exist, we live on ONE planet (so its a double edged sword...does a country get involved in the global market and grow or does it try to withdraw and hid with its borders and preseve its cultural and national identity)\n\nI say that traditions are important but need to give way or adpat to the world\n\n1) What country wants to be without medical, business, science, and techological gadgets and the like to improve the lives of it government and people? China and India and other countries that were behind in Globalisation are speeding up to join the world. The Middle East despite all its political and social issues are wanting to join the rest of the world in trade and techological advances\n\n2) A country that isolates itself will have to join the world anyways (like China) but the more it drags its feet the futher behind it will be the rest of the world \n\n3) A country that joins the world market full force can wield influence over other countries. China and India are two good examples...the USA one of the most powerful countries on the planet can't really bully them around without negative political and economic effects to itself.\nThe Middle East also wield influence over the US and the rest of the world. Countries that want to grow need fuel to power their trade, goods, and market so you have to go to countries that have the means to fuel your global ambitions. India wants nuclear fuel to power its markets so it has to deal with the USA\n\n3) Tradition is erroded in the process but any given country would like to give a little of this up so that it will not be a total victim of assimilation of the other countries that go full force into Globalisation

India does if they the country is in good hands. A majority of India's already exploding population within the next 20 years will be the youth. That's why.

India is diverse, secular, and religious.  There's no need to compare yourself to others in terms of superlatives.

well i am an Indian.. n boy m realy proud of it .. \nThe culture of India is one of the oldest cultures in the world. In modern India, there is remarkable cultural diversity throughout the country. The South, North, and east have their own distinct cultures and almost every state has carved out its own cultural niche.\nWe hav our own style of art which is so very deviant, our dances , languages , rituals , music , everythin is so detailed n expertised that world cant even dream of comin close to it. Indian culture is spreadin globally .. the world has started recognisin its true value n its startin to get the respect it deserves.. \nPunjabi songs, south indian dances ,spices , desi foods, our festivals, faces .. they are all so unique n admirable .. but the fact is.. WE R LOSIN IT. The people of India themselves are gettin driven towards western culture.. many cant even speak hindi.. i mean its ok to advance but to forget one's identity doesnt make any sense.. If we forget our culture n just become copy cats of the western world .. then will anyone value us ? think bout it.\n\nI live in the U.S.A n really miss my country.. i guess apeksha u r really lucky
