^^ 4 - 20 years... now that is some time
Jindal is young. He probably will run in 2012 but will likely lose, since first time candidates rarely win in his party. I would say 2016 would be a good chance for him if his party loses in 2012. If they win and he is not the vice president that obviously extends the time-line, since the president would run again in 2016 and the VP would be the favorite to win the nomination in 2020.

its grip on global affair shall be weaken in next 20-30 years, in light of ur prediction, it does make sense that US will no more a super power.

China's rapid rise inevitably means a decreased role for the US in world economics. I would say the US peak was around 1999. That said, the US will remain a superpower for the rest of our lifetimes, even if China overtakes it as the premier superpower in a few decades. Not all superpowers are the same size. The USSR was always half the US's size in economic terms and never equal militarily yet it remained a superpower. Muslim fantasies of the US going the way of the USSR, UK, or France (and before that your buddies the Ottomans) are just that, fantasies. :)
Desis are already the most educated and affluent ethnic group in America. 1/3 of our NASA scientists are desi, 1/3 of Silicon Valley is Indian or Chinese, a large percentage of doctors, etc. We are not a bigoted country which relegates minorities to things like dish washing...
