Unfortunately, still people like you think in todays world; super power means to have muscle power. India has never claimed to be a super power, India is working hard towards it. India is a part of the rapidly growing BRIC group, Brazil, Russia, India, China. Please read about what Goldman and Sachs has writes about these countries. India is a part of G20 countries of the world. India is not a part of G20 coz India has utter poverty, illiteracy and whatever. Country with most millionaires, India is in top 10 countries of the world. Fastest growing number of millionaires in Asia are in India at the rate of 22% and China at 20%.
And all this has happened from 1990.
Lets talk about numbers, rather than using fluffy words and adjectives like hunger, poverty. India has that, but India is marching forward as well.
If you make fun of India and say its a facade, I think you need some good college education.
just becoz a person can write or speak in english does not mean that a person is educated. Beggars on the street lights of UK and US can also write and speak in english.
After Soviet collapse, India hardly had any influence in afghanistan and still does not have.
You are more than welcome to help Afghanistan in their reconstruction.
What has Pakistans contribution towards afghanistan been? All Pakistan has given afghanistan is Death and Destruction.
Ask any guy walking on the streets of Kabul, what do they think of Pak fauj and policy of pakistan towards afghanistan? Any educated paksitani will know how much an average afghani loves or thinks of pakistan.
