Explanation:

india becoming a superpower

A potential superpower is a state or a political and economic entity that is speculated to be , or to be in

the process of becoming, a superpower at some point in the 21st century. Presently, it is widely
considered that only the United States currently fulfills the criteria to be considered a superpower. States
most commonly mentioned as being potential superpowers are Brazil, China, the European Union (a
supranational entity), India and Russia, based on a variety of factors.

Several media publications and academics have discussed the Republic of becoming a superpower. Is
India really shining? Is it really on the path of becoming a superpower? Optimistic Indians would assert
an affirmation but it is time one had a reality check India is surely marching ahead, but are all the Indians
marching ahead or is it just a small fraction of the population doing so? India can surely boast of a
growth rate of around 8-9 per cent, but one needs to ask if this growth is trickling down to the lower
strata of the populace.

Sixty three years ago in 1947 when India got independence , the question then asked was ‘ will India
survive’? today, India’s economic profile has changed. At over a trillion dollars, it is a force to reckon with
not just in Asia but in the entire world. With its new currency symbol to be internationalized soon, India
now flexes its financial muscle.

Soon after independence our nation was in turmoil. Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, tragic partition
rendering millions of people homeless tribal invasion in J&K coupled with problem of consolidation of
five hundred princely states, to build a new nation was a mammoth task. After going through different
phases of lows and highs, the doubtful query ‘will India survive’ has been replaced by more hopeful
query, will India become a superpower?
Today India is recognized as an emerging powerhouse by the world community. Form a nation known to
the world as a county of snake charmers to a front line developing nation , image of our country has
undergone a dramatic change. The pace leading to full transformation may be slow but consistency will
lead to the desired goal. The key to the extraordinary resilience lies in India’s stable and successful
democratic institution. India, a home of several religions and several hundred spoken languages is a
garland of multitude of diverse communities woven together in a common thread of democracy. Unlike
other European nations whose unity is based on a common languages and largely a common faith. India
presents a picture of unity in diversity. With multiple of democracy in India was always in doubt. Despite
abstruse dislike and mistrust between the two major communities of the nation, India has emerged as
multicultural democracy.

Withhold economic reforms India’s GDP is on a sustained growth path. India has become third largest
economy in Asia to keep its high rate of growth. Despite the growth story, India has yet to cross over
many plateaus before it becomes a superpower in league with big nations. I shall discuss here some of
the core issues that if not attended to with strong political will and time bound action may rock the boat
of country’s economic rejuvenation.

Escalating Population

India is second most populous country in the world, with over 1,210,193,422 people more than a sixth of
world’s population. Already containing 17.31 per cent of the world population, India is projected to be
populous country by 2025 surpassing China. India occupies 2.4 per cent of the world’s land and supports
17.5 per cent of world’s population. It seems the Govt has stopped all efforts to control the population
explosion. Fearing public unrest and possible loss of vote bank after Sanjay Gandhi the successive
Governments abandoned family planning programmes if at all some programme is being executed it is
only as tokenism without political will.
