By putting all theses aspects together, one may be amazed that India is already in the race for becoming the next super power.
Economic Growth
The ongoing economic revival has kicked Indias pace of growth. Its economy is the driving force for its success. In the coming years, Indias GDP is expected to grow over seven percent which has never happened in India right from the time it got independence. Even thought 40% of its population lives under the poverty line, the country maintains an effective democratic rule. Indias commitment towards democracy is its main pillar of strength. A nation of more than billion people effectively follows the worlds most open system of government. It gives a lot of stability to the countrys economic situations.
The US stands to benefit from an increased foreign investment in India as well as in its educated young population. However Indias growing economic, political and military power will have deep implications on
US foreign policy. In next 10 years Indias economy is thought to take over Britains economy and by 2040 it would be the worlds third largest economy. According to Keith Suther, senior fellow, Global Business Network Australia by 2050, India can take over China and United States of America as a main global economic force.
The Prime Minister, Mr. Manmohan Singh has worked very hard to change the face
of this country. The Indo-US civilian nuclear agreement or commonly known as
Indo-US nuclear deal was finally made operational on October 10th, 2008. By entering this deal India has taken another step towards becoming the next super power.
Educational Infrastructure
Nowadays there is no need to go abroad and study to acquire a top degree.

Indians today are embracing a liberal and anything is possible atmosphere.
Advancement in sphere of Arts India has found its place among the community of nations on the strength of its knowledge rather than its size. Its knowledge based competence is not only shown in Information technology sector but also in other activities like arts. Indian actors like Anil Kapoor and Freida Pinto have starred in an academy award winning movieSlumdog Millionaire. Music director AR Rehman won two academy awards in the field of music.
Prospering Middle Class
Indias middle class is expanding enormously and flaunting their material gains. Cars, laptops, mobile phones, holidays in foreign locations are some of their bold achievements. Luminaries are visiting India mainly because of economic reasons. They view the large middle class as a prospect to make money in India. The Right Attitude Majority of Indians already believe they are second to none in Asia. Mix that with the economic explosion and you have a recipe for the present mood of exhilaration. But it is dashed with a little doubt. Kumaramangalam is of the opinion that we have been on the launch pad for a long time and its now that we have ignited. The main concern is that have we really got lift off velocity as there is slight likelihood of going back. After reaching this far no sector of Indian society wants to back pedal. If you visit rural areas today, you will find long-distance telephone booths; they have television, Internet connection and have become communications hubs. There is no conflict with technology. That is why India is storming ahead. People
have witnessed rapid change in the last three four years as compared to the development that took place in the preceding 50 years. You can well imagine what the next two years will bring leaving aside the following 50 years.
Hurdles

It is there required that these people understand the need to change themselves and be a part of the mainstream of the country and stop playing the dirty politics for the sake of the Nation and the Country.
