They will be an economic power long before they become a military power -- which is required of a super power.

India is most certainly gaining power at major events and companies. Yet, according to statistics, India would reach The 5th position by the year 2020. Only if they keep their internal regulators at hand with due control. (Stock market and much more!) Its like a major development in less than 100 years!\n\nBut United States of America would still be the No.1 in position in the world in the year 2020.\n\nPlease do not use SMS abbreviated words in a place like this!

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.

For India to become a prime power in the world, it is going to have to do a superb job on ending local corruption.  A little thing Gandhi forgot about.\n\nI don't see that happening for at least 50 years.  Because India has 300 million people who speak English, and has a democratic tradition for 60 years, it will surpass China if the Chinese devolve into quarrelling and trying to maintain an economy based on "the Party."  But surpassing China, though a key benchmark, is not the same as unseating American power.\n\nBut for your dream to come true, local corruption has to shrink to the point where the smartest young people stay in the country with their PhDs instead of immigrating.

I assume you are meaning.... should India get a permanent place in Security Council..... India already has a place in UN as long as it wants...\n\nYes India deserves a place in the Security council... the reason is obvious.... its shown the most matured performance in democracy in spite of being a very diverse nation in terms of religion... language.... geography... and so on.\n\nIndia has demonstrated a neat role as a Non aligned Nation. India showed that it could have a proper balance of Capitalism and Socialism... As a Nuclear nation India has behaved very very responsibly..\n\nThe biggest pool of trained manpower..... performing sustained democracy.... religious tolerance... emergent economy... original indigenous economic models... commitment to peace in spite of a diverse political lines... and above all a proven commitment on use of Military capabilities always for peaceful purposes.... PROOF ENOUGH TO SHOW THAT INDIA DESERVES A PLACE IN THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL

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.

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.

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.

Yes:)\n\nIndia 2020: A Vision for the New Millennium is a book, written by Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, the present President of India and Y. S. Rajan.\n\nThe book examines in depth the weakness and the strength of India, as a nation, and offers a vision of how India can emerge to be among the world's first four economic powers by 2020. Armed with a powerful opening, It is yet another example of Abdul Kalam's dedication and vision for India. The Book is dedicated to a young girl whom Kalam met and asked as "what is your dream" for which the young girl replied "I want to live in a developed India".\n\nThe book's 300 pages are divided into 12 chapters:\n\nCan India Become a Developed Country? \nWhat Other Countries Envision for Themselves \nEvolution of Technology Vision 2020 \nFood, Agriculture and Processing \nMaterials and the Future \nChemical Industries and Our Biological Wealth \nManufacturing for the Future \nServices As People's Wealth \nStrategies Industries \nHealth Care for All \nThe Enabling Infrastructure \nRealizing the Vision \n\n\n"A developed India by 2020, or even earlier, is not a dream. It need not be a mere vision in the minds of many Indians. It is a mission we can all take up - and succeed." - A P J Abdul Kalam.\n\n\nNote: Well we all hope...when that day arrives soon

yes.\ni would even go so far to say that are likely to become the next world "hyper" power. (the US is the first recognized hyper power country and was so some time after the fall of USSR)\nchina has said for a long long time they were tired of being treated as a second rate country and were going to emerge as a superpower.  the three gorges dam was just one of many things they started doing to boost themselves.\nthey definitely have a goal and there is no sign that they will reach it.
