What I mean by that is that now, in the time of Kali Yuga, politics and politicians, broadly speaking, are about self interest and personal gain...I would love to see this change, and will work towards this end in whatever ways that i can...However, this has nothing to do with my feelings about India which I have already shared...Peace....

This must be what Indians call "developed". If they manage to build more cities like this by 2020, viola, India will be a sooopa Pawah.

clearly you represent the "pinnacle" of civilization and its erstwhile development...so you should have some empathy for those who you deem behind, its also called compassion, sucka!! grow up.....

Oh no, Indians ought to have sympathy for me. We Americans are well behind India already. I hope India will keep the world peaceful and treat us well. India is ready to lead the entire humanity toward Yogic enlightenment. Go India!

Ok, Ok, let me get this straight...you are delighted and a pro=India (as superpower) person? You are ready for the curry revolution to take hold and bland, unimaginative cuisine will be a thing of the past in good, ole USA? And apparently 2020 is the lynchpin? Lets be realistic though, politicians and yogic enlightenment seem further off than that...

India also give the world Buddhism, Bollywood movies, the most beautiful songs and dances. India's IITs are much better than MIT, Stanford, Harvard, and Yale. The West is finished. India's demographic advantage (its fast-growing and young population) will guarantee its economic, intellectual, and cultural leadership and dominance. People may fear India, but certainly everyone respect India.

Oh, but you misinterpret...I also think india is the greatest country on earth, with the most amazing cultural diversity, inclusive religion, amazingly kind and generous people, and the best cuisine on earth...Many, if not, most of the worlds enlightened people walk the streets and mountain paths of an India that is more sacred than I can conceive...I love India and her people....

I felt as if in a way Indians really like their crazy junctions and confusion, it's like it makes them feel alive and free. They end up bored in a strictly regulated and quiet place

[Qoconut]

Then what did you mean by this, "Lets be realistic though, politicians and yogic enlightenment seem further off than that"?

The Indian navy was the first to act decisively against Somali pirates. The Indian military is the strongest in Asia. India has democracy, liberties, freedoms, and other soft-power advantages not available to others. India is not plagued by Western materialism. Indians are the most united and determined people on the planet. 50% of doctors in the USA are Indians. 32% of NASA engineers are Indians. TATA is the most innovative company on the planet. India is poised and indeed shining!

India already has a 600 million-strong middle class. Indians invented zero, rockets, computer chips, internal combustion engine, geometry, logic, algebra, airplanes, vegetarianism, yoga, meditation, accounting, statistics, etc. There is nothing to stop India from becoming the dominant superpower in 2020. Watch out! Who are you to question India's rise?
