reasons why India will not become a superpower

[rocky0036]

1.Religious extremism: Long term trends indicate that liberals and moderates in every religious community in India are on the defensive
2. Left wing extremism: Extremism in the form of the Naxalite movement, which is a result of geographical reasons and also social and political forces, owing to the continued dispossession and deprivation of tribal people in India.
3. Corruption: The corruption and corrosion of the power center in India, as a result of political parties functioning as family firms rather than open, transparent political systems
4. Decline of public institutions: This includesuniversities, police, civil services, the judiciary (except for higher judiciary) etc5. Rich-poor divide: The increasing gap between the rich and the poor which is particularly manifested through farmer suicides in India, a phenomenon that has become pervasive only in the last 10-15 years, perhaps because there is now the expectation of a 'good life' that did not exist before.
6. Environmental degradation: The degradation at a local level, which is impacting people's lives in very real ways, whether in the form of massive depletion of underground aquifers, chemical contamination of soil, death of rivers, loss of species etc.
7. Apathy of the media: Apathy in covering issues of rising income inequality, environmental degradation.

8. Political chaos: The political fragmentation manifests as coalition governments at both the central and regional levels, which makes it very difficult to forge sustainable long term policies in the realm of health, education, etc.
9. Border disputes: India's unresolved border disputes, especially in Kashmir and the North East (Nagaland and Manipur) which indicates that there are parts of India that are not comfortable with being part of India.

10. Unstable neighbour: India's increasingly unstable neighbourhood is another serious impediment to our superpower ambitions.

I found 3 real reasons
Religious extremism
Border Disputes
Unstable Neighbour

Rest is everywhere in almost every country slight percentage may differ.

I got lecture on differences and i found it true. Source wikipedia

The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule,[1] (http://www.jatland.com/forums/#cite_note-aka-0) the law of the vital few, and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.[2] (http://www.jatland.com/forums/#cite_note-NYT-1)[3] (http://www.jatland.com/forums/#cite_note-8020pre-2) Business management thinker Joseph M. Juran (http://www.jatland.com/wiki/Joseph_M._Juran) suggested the principle and named it after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto (http://www.jatland.com/wiki/Vilfredo_Pareto), who observed that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population.[3] (http://www.jatland.com/forums/#cite_note-8020pre-2) It is a common rule of thumb (http://www.jatland.com/wiki/Rule_of_thumb) in business; e.g., "80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients." Mathematically, where something is shared among a sufficiently large set of participants, there must be a number k between 50 and 100 such that k% is taken by (100 − k)% of the participants. k may vary from 50 (in the case of equal distribution) to nearly 100 (when a tiny number of participants account for almost all of the resource). There is nothing special about the number 80% mathematically, but many real systems have k somewhere around this region of intermediate imbalance in distribution.
The Pareto principle is only tangentially related to Pareto efficiency (http://www.jatland.com/wiki/Pareto_efficiency), which was also introduced by the same economist. Pareto developed both concepts in the context of the distribution of income and wealth among the population.

80-20 rule works a lot in Sales... 80% revenues comes from 20% customers.. We call them Top/Key Accounts... Sales Reps keep on visiting/calling these account to meet their sales targets..

About this topic, I still believe that India will be super power.. It may take more time but I think our growth is more sustainable and India is the biggest democracy so the input for growth is coming from all quarters of life...

Reasons..

People do not command good health.
Physical fitness is remarkably low compared to international standards.

(see Health stndrs of MUSLIMS , then BRITISHERS , Now of AMERICANS ..all were ruling classes when they were at their peak in health concerns)

Natural resources in this nation are NIL comparable to its huge population...& are depleting at faster pace..

( Southern states main to kuch bhi resource nahin hain ...khali coffee..kuch masale...no mineral mines..
Agriculture Poor )

(Britain don't have resources(natural) so going down day by day....London london ki rat to bhool ge log)

----

Na to log physically fit ho sakte yahan ke...na hi natural resources aa sakte...

IT , Increasing Land prices and then sustaining by allocating space on rent ...are already applied by Western nations..reached STAGNANT
level.

internal instability

reasons why India will not become a superpower

Sole reason: Rocky has immigrated to Australia, this caused the imbalance on India's part. The greatest brain drain ever.
