It Is Time!!!!

I read Hillary Clinton’s statement about recognizing India as a Global superpower. It would not be wrong to say that it is time India decides which path to follow to be recognized as a developed nation and a global superpower; claim to be one already and poke at every other issue in the world or stay neutral and work its way up steadily. India can do what most other developed nation did earlier like self proclamation of been a giant and then meddling in all the affairs else follow the path that China did. Without making too much fuss about its growth China is still expanding at a rate not seen or predicted before in history. While one can argue that China was able to do this because of communist governance but still one cannot neglect the effort they put in. Some reasons I hear China stays low key about its achievements is because of the conservative culture of the people back there. This is where India needs to learn from China. Instead of remaining low key and pretending to be normally expanding economy India needs to market itself in a way which shows confidence at the same time avoids self proclamation of superiority in its actions or words. There is no reason to hide its growth which is sustained even in the current financial turmoil that’s sweeping countries across the globe.
An example of intermediate path here would be something not interfering in matters like the North Korea issue even if it has almost the all the nuclear armed nations scratching their heads upon it as its simply not our business but at the same time aiding the humanitarian cause in Srilanka after the LTTE war. That way instead of meddling in issues that hamper development, India would just create an image for itself: a nuclear armed country willing to lead South Asia with potential to be recognized as a Global superpower. That would be awesome. Wouldn’t it??
