By "SUPERPOWER", if you mean "A country which can stand powerful against any country in the world, possessing most advanced military technology (what kinds of arms and equipments do our army men and police has compared to terrorists and criminals in our own country?), or a country having developed it's economy to an extent that %u201Cat least%u201D no citizen dies of hunger (40% of our countrymen have no clue over how to earn food for next day), I think you don't need an answer. INDIA is not in a position to say that %u201CWe will become a superpower-my loved friends! A result of leaving the rope of leadership in wrong hands since last 90 years (even before freedom), we are facing a crucial, nervous moment of "failure" and "shame" in front of the developed world. SHOULD HAVE THIS GREAT NATION BEEN LEAD BY TRUE SONS OF THE SOIL LIKE BHAGAT SINGH, CHANDRASHEKHAR AZAD, SUBHAS JI BOSE, SAVARKAR, SARDAR PATEL, THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THE JUSTIFICATION OF OUR SUPREMACY. Not a single developed nation in world achieved superpower without a visionary leadership and was ever lead by %u201CCorrupt%u201D, %u201CCriminal%u201D, %u201Copportunist%u201D politicians like ours. Name of our country is "BHARATVARSH", we are "BHARTIYA". Have you ever tried to find out why we were named as %u201CIndians%u201D? A cruel, wild, man-eating, poor tribe in America, Spain, Australia and other countries is named after %u201CIndians%u201D. Are we really Britisher%u2019s %u201CIndians%u201D? 550 parliamentarians, thousands of MLAs, millions of corrupt public servants are the %u201CRulers%u201D and %u201CSuperpowers%u201D of our country. Next time you see a Rikshawala, a beggar, a poor man hunting for a living hood; ask this question to the %u201CRulers%u201D %u2013 Shall we hold our head high in front of rich foreigners and say %u201CWe are Superpower%u201D. We need to unite, shredding all our differences against the ill political powers in our own country, not letting these rulers rule us through their everlasting %u201Cdivide and rule%u201D policy, first. %u201CWe The People...%u201D are, SUPERPOWER.

Here here! Only I do not agree that "Indians" being cruel, poor or cannibals.Indians is used to represent indigenous people as opposed to the settlers and colonizing populations. Those people had their own cultures, were civilized and none were cannibals, food being readily available.The aborigines are Dravidians who fled the country when the Aryans and other invaders entered Bharath pressing them further south and finally out of their country. Bharath is now a nation of "poor" growing poorer by the day.We may have a million mobile phones and IT companies, but the truth is we are still slaves to the white. Our culture has become stagnant and is dying. Noone speaks their mother tongue or learns it at school. We have forgotten our dress, our rituals and festivals, not to talk of food. We gladly sell our country for a few words of insincere praise from a white man.They are free to settle anywhere in India but we cannot even visit their country. No one complains. As for our government if there is no accountability among public servants, there will never be a "superpower".We are clueless as far as having an original opinion is concerned on any matters in the world. India never takes a stand.Can't.Because the people who run the country have always danced this way and that to make money. Honesty and sincerity and real thinking do not figure among the rulers, politicians or even the educated. We are the only country with 2 million graduates a year who have NEVER done one piece of original work. They have simply swallowed teachers' words and vomited the same. Otherwise can we have a country with more than half the population without basic services like water, toilets and food? The sun burns our fields but no one thinks of solar energy to power irrigation sistems for fields, doemstic energy or wind power. Crores of rupees went into some stupid gobar gas project that was simply an eyewash to swallow money. Rural development projects are thrown out of the window because the rural populations if ignorant will continue to vote the ruling politicians. The poor will try to take advantage of you exactly like the man next to you in any office. How can we even dream of being a superpower when 1% dreams of designer clothes and the other 99% dreams of survival? Educatin is to teach people that they must stand for what they believe in whether it is popular or not, forget caste, think of dignity and give human life its true value.Courage and conviction are lacking. Will the coming generations learn this?

Please don't bring up the aryan/Dravida theory again,there is no evidence to support that,genetic or anthropological.
