8 Reasons Why India Will Rule The World By 2050
What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Superpower”?
You’d probably begin thinking about Russia or USA for that matter.
But had someone told you 200 years ago that USA would become a superpower one day, you
would have laughed your guts out!
Yes because US was just a small colony ruled by the British Empire.
So now when we tell you that India is on its way to turn into a superpower, you will laugh
and we won’t stop you because well, it looks pretty impossible right now!
But since change is constant, today’s developing country will become tomorrow’s developed
superpower.
Don’t believe us?
We have reasons to back up our belief, stay tuned and we promise you won’t regret!
Economic growth What you see as a poor nation is set to become
an economic superpower by the year 2030.
So that sounds more like a joke to you?
Well, you can jolly well laugh but when India gets to have the final laugh, don’t blame
us!
In the fifth installment of the ‘Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds’ by the
National Intelligence Council (NIC), it is mentioned that, “in 2030 India could be
the rising economic powerhouse that China is seen to be today.
China’s current economic growth rate – 8 to 10 per cent – will probably be a distant
memory by 2030”.
Do you realize what this means?
India’s rate of economic growth is likely to rise while China’s slows down.
That’s sad for China but India is gonna swoop up on the opportunity pretty swiftly
it seems!
Diplomacy India isn’t messing around with other nations,
which means that its diplomatic standing is pretty good.
Though India has managed to stay out of international conflicts, it has pitched in whenever an international
crisis hit!
When your diplomacy is on point, good things are on the cards, Right?
Also being the 3rd largest contributor to UN Peacekeeping Forces worldwide, India has
managed a good international reach.
If things fall in place, India will bag a permanent seat at the UN Security Council
in the next five years.
The biggest hurdle in this race is India’s strained relationship with Pakistan but seeing
US’s increasing support for India, the tables may turn anytime!
Military might India has the 4th most powerful military in
the world with a defense budget of $46.16 billion and 1,362,500 active defense personnel!
Now add to this cauldron a total of 2,102 aircrafts and a naval strength of 295 and
you get a lethal cocktail that can tackle any military emergency!
Do you want us to compare it to the country that has the most powerful military?
Of course you do!
So USA has a defense budget of $598.5 billion with 1,281,900 active personnel, 13,762 aircrafts
and a naval strength of 415.
USA is ahead but India has its strong points too and we all know that a strong military
plays its part in crowing a country as a superpower!
Geographical advantage If we say that India has a chance of becoming
a Superpower in the future because of its location, you’ll call us crazy, right?
Seems like an advantage in geographical location can have more benefits than are visible!
We all know that Earth is being stripped off its fossil resources and once they are all
depleted, what will be the source of renewable energy?
Solar energy, that’s right!
Now places where it snows for most part of the year with less of sunshine, solar power
is tough to come by.
But that’s not the case with India because it lies in the sunny Tropical belt, a lot
of sunlight throughout the year!
So when there won’t be any alternative, most countries will turn to the Indian subcontinent
to get their dose of energy.
Power will talk for itself!
Population Being the second most populated country in
the world is seen more as a bane than a boon.
You see there are a lot of mouths to feed, including the elderly and kids who cannot
manage on their own.
Ah, we see all these accusations in your eyes but you are unaware about a few facts here!
Approximately 50% of those hungry people are below the age group of 24.
Also, due to a high birth rate, approximately 65% of the nation’s population is below
the age of 35.
In short, India has a huge workforce that can easily last for another 2-3decades!
So while other countries will see a decrease in population and thus fewer workforces, India
will have no such problem.
It will continue to work and rise!
Democracy Imagine yourself as a Chinese civilian- no
freedom of speech, restricted social life, no choice in government because it is a one-party
nation.
Did you smile?
That’s where India’s biggest advantage lies, it is a democracy!
The constitution is beautifully made for every citizen, keeping in mind their freedom of
speech and expression!
Being the largest democratic republic in the world puts India at a high pedestal!
Being a superpower in its truest sense would mean to have the citizens united and with
the government and that’s what a democracy allows.
A healthy democracy creates healthy government and healthy government leads country from
a developing status to being DEVELOPED!
Science and technology Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi in his
speech once mentioned that India's Mars Mission is far cheaper than a Hollywood film!
No offense to any country and their ways of utilizing their money but the point here is
that India has realized the importance of science and technology and is completely rocking
it!
The country has already made its place in the leading producers of computer software
and is also supporting and investing in research and development centers.
You probably didn’t know that India was the third nation to establish a National Space
Agency called Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
And did you know that India is also the fourth country to reach
the Moon’s surface?
Tourism We cannot deny the role of tourism in increasing
a nation’s economy and thus bagging the title of a superpower for it!
So when we say that India will be crowned as a superpower by 2050 because of its tourism,
you wouldn’t be surprised!
It is the land of monuments and history, the country that celebrates its diversity in culture,
tradition, languages and food!
Tourists see more than one reason to visit this South Asian country.
Talking about the statistics, as per a 2018 economic impact report by World Travel & Tourism
Council (WTTC), India is expected to establish itself as the third largest travel and tourism
economy by 2028 in terms of direct and total GDP.
About 42.9 million people are dependent directly or indirectly on the travel and tourism in
India which makes it the 7th largest travel and tourism economy in the world!
