India: A super-power in making.
The slumbering giant is slowly stirring up. The recent surge in economy and combined with a very positive attitute of the indian industries is going to put India in the spotlight soon. For its size, population and its capability, India should have been in the worlds spotlight but now its showing what it is capable of. Now, there's no stopping. But, before being too positive we have a few serious problems which has to be tackled. The importance one's being eradication of poverty, cleaning up the political bureacracies, corruption etc. If these problems are addressed India will be a power house soon

Yes, Believe me oneday INDIA would sure become a SUPER POWER. The Economic growth levels, Globalisation etc. are some of the factors that are the real counter examples which represents India, emerge as Superpower.
Also, if Indians (Scientists, Software Engineers, Doctors, Other Technicians) who are working in the western countries are provided with proper resources in India, then we can vroom in to emerge much more faster than the current predictions by Experts.

"India will grow at about 8 per cent until 2020, according to a new report by Goldman Sachs that sharply lifts the investment bank's forecast of the country's long-term growth rate.
In a 2003 report on the so-called Bricc economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China, the bank had predicted a 5 per cent long-term Indian growth rate. But its new forecast says India will overtake the US to become the largest economy in the world after China by 2042.
Goldman now predicts India's economy will overtake those of Italy, France and Britain by 2017, Germany's in 12 years and Japan's in 18.
"There has been a structural increase in India's potential growth rate since 2003 on the back of high productivity growth," the report says.
While many economists regard Goldman's Brics research mainly as a successful marketing tool for the investment bank, many in India see it as confirmation of the country's destiny as an economic superpower.
"We no longer discuss the future of India. We say, 'The future is India'," Commerce Minister Kamal Nath said in a recent speech.
Although per capita incomes in India will continue to trail far behind those of the developed world for the foreseeable future, the latest Brics forecast will fuel what many see as excessive exuberance about the country's prospects. Conscious that sizzling growth has been a spectator sport for the 650 million rural poor who helped hand the Government its 2004 victory, Congress Party leader Sonia Gandhi has warned against the elite's "obsession" with gaining superpower status.
Jairam Ramesh, a minister close to Ms Gandhi, said: "If a country of 1 billion people can't become the third-largest economy, we need our heads examined. What counts is per capita income. Let's not go overboard about the 21st century being India's century."
Pride in the country's speeding growth rates is blossoming in the English-language media. The Times of India, the leading daily, for example, this month started a distinctly buoyant campaign entitled "India Poised: Our Time is Now".
It said: "Combine our newfound economic and political clout with our influential diaspora and our status as a global soft power or superpower (from Bollywood and Indian art to yoga and spirituality), and Brand India is on a roll like never before."
Nowhere is this confidence finding clearer expression than in the boardroom, where Lakshmi Mittal's takeover of Arcelor, the Luxembourg steel maker, has fuelled corporate ambitions. Swaminathan Aiyar, a leading economist, predicts that it marks "the beginning of the great Indian takeover".
A survey by the Chicago Council of Foreign Affairs says Indians already see themselves as the second most powerful people in the world, behind the US."

Nope. America is the last superpower, by which all other countries wishing to be superpowers are judged. India will never come close to being able to kick our butt, so no, they won't.

I think CHINA would be sooner or later. China I think would replace America as a superpower one in this world. The symptoms are everywhere now you can find it easily. The downfall of America is closer and closer now.

I don't think so any time soon. The people of India, the people people, do not live a life that pays that much attention to politics or the economy, they just try to live in their own way, the traditional way. They would need a boost of interaction between themselves to spread ideas, and get out of the cast system. I hope technology will do that sometime.
