Hollow dream of India being a superpower
by AP on Dec 21, 2006 10:04 PM

The only ones who think India will become a superpower are the top percentile of rich, upper class Indians - those who expect to take and take, and never sacrifice a single thing for the country.

India doesn't have the will power to become a superpower. It was proven to the world in Kandahar on December 31, 1999, when the Indian nation was brought to its knees by a group of terrorists.

And India cannot become a super power while half the country is uneducated, undernourished and don't have the basic necessities like clean water, electricity and access medical care. Once again, these are still the priviledge of the upper classes.

Being a superpower requires strength, resilience and will power, along with integrity and the genuine desire to do good for this country - something our politicians and the elite upper class don't have.

They are too busy sucking the country dry and filling their own Swiss bank accounts to ever worry about the nation and its people.

If India chooses to become a super power, it will need a new government, with a new outlook, revolutionary changes and the will of the people.
