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.

India - its not a country, but a cosmos. which country has such vastness in every field? There is none like India.\n\nLanguages and dialects - over 1500 of them. Over thirty states and union territories, each divided on the basis of the dominant language.\n\nReligions - Hindus are dominant - 83%. But they are the best of the lot, they do not have problem with other except the radical groups like RSS, VHP & Bajrang Dal. The others are Budhist, Jains, Sikhs, Muslims, Christians & others together 17%.\n\nFestivals of India are one of the most colorful. Each state of india has a dozen or more festival of thier own. Even in her poverty you see indians the most happiest. their festivals are the proof.\n\nIndia has the oldest continuous history. It is the only country that has not been an aggressor or looted/destroyed another country. Hnduism religion is the most progressive religions, nothing can come near to it in this aspect. Whether a person accepts god or not, he is hindu.\n\nInspite of different religions, languages and other differences, everybody is proud to be an INDIAN.

India is definately the place to be, and definately worth a visit. India has the richest heritage and culture, and is very well known for the palaces, castles and temples. The places I strongly recommend you to visit are:\n1.) Agra where you can see one of the seven wonders of the works ---- The Taj Mahal\n2.) Jaipur -- also called the pink city, city of palaces\n3.) Amritsar ----- The Golden Temple\n4.) Srinagar at Jammu ----- The indian switzerland

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.

There are 192 countries in the world.  All of which meet eight criteria.\n\nTaiwan meets most, but not all of the requirements of independent country or state status. However, due to political reasons, it fails to be recognized by the United States and much of the rest of the world. If it were recognized, it would be considered a country. \n\nThis would bring the total to 193.
