you are the biggest joker. India is a small fish with huge population as its only asset. India does not contribute anything apart from export of labour. No science, no technology (only thing India can be proud of a little bit is ISRO and even in that China is way-ahead of India) India is learning now how to develop and improve. Under the circumstances India needs the help of US, Russia and other powers in science and technology. How much money does India give to UN very little, US contributes the maximum to UN Budget and thus it dominates UN. Wake up and face the facts, India needs to develop a lot more before being treated as a equal. If not for software services export(mainly to US and a little to Europe), high oil prices would have killed India as a nation. For US to consider India as a equal, Indian economy needs to much more stronger rather than being a preferred back-office of US companies.
