When can India aspire to be a global Power.?

When..?..thats the question..the big question.
Perhaps it can be answered indirectly.

WHEN:

1. When Indians stop putting their leaders on pedestals and glorify them.
And accept competence as the one and only virtue for judging them as fit for office.

2. When only 3% or below of the Indian population live below the poverty line.

3. When there is transparency and accountability in governance.

4. When impoverished Indians do not have work in open 50 deg C and other
inhuman conditions in foreign countries to feed their families back home.

5. When the huge stash of hidden money is brought back from Swiss banks
and the guilty put in jail.

6. When the courts and legal system in India can dispense timely justice, instead of being
used as a tool by the guilty to evade prosecution by exploiting the systemic and endemic delays within the legal system- without any fear of punitive action for doing so.

7. When the country is run, not by 80 year old sickly netas..but by 50 year old adults.

8. When the "old boys and buddy club " creating power centers and buddy networks in government ministries and circles are periodically broken up by infusion of young fresh individuals into the system.

9. When incompetence be deemed a national shame and disgrace to be shunned
rather than adequate based on the simplistic notion of loyalty, sincerity and 'god fearing'.

10. When system rewards hard innovative work and discourage the 'stable stick in the mud'
performance, as seen today.

11. When the 18th century Official secrets Act ( OSA ) is revamped and recast to
reflect modern day governance rather than being frequently used as a tool to hide corruption, incompetence and nepotism - which is the case now.

12. When at least a dozen politicians , netas, senior bureaucrats are jailed every year for their crimes of nepotism, corruption etc.

There are many more WHENs..
But I list the above , to caution and inform those who constantly brag and howl
that India will soon be a "Super Power" . It cannot happen even if the economy doubles
in GDP size. Half the wealth created will end up in Swiss banks anyway.

Economic GDP figure is not the sole criterion to establish any kind of Super Power
status claims. Those people who do so are simply fooling themselves and others
or hallucinating under some delusions.

Those who wish to add more points to the above post, you are welcome to do so..and circulate it among your friends. Cheers.

Well, I see only one WHEN :

WHEN

We have efficient Young, qualified and dynamic Leaders

Ultimately efficiency is the key, if one as leader can find all cause for failure of any of the department or working he is looking after ... be it human errors, corruption or just laziness, if he can pin point and then remove them then I think will result in solution of most of our / Indian problems.

" For every one rupee the government spends on development, only 15 paise reach the people...the rest goes to middle men " - Rajiv Ghandhi - apparently referring to the endemic systemic corruption of the NEXUS of politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen.

I want to add that every person live in India know about the knowledge of law and orders, their own rights, awareness, stop supporting corruption, stop blaming others for the cause.

never it will not become a super power for yet another 100 years

there's nothing called superpower between countries.
GOD is only superpower in this universe.
