India will be the world's biggest superpower
But only if we fix Delhi airport. There is general euphoria and exuberance about India right now. For good reason. But these types of prognostications do seem to be a bit ahead of themselves -- "It is going to be India's century. India is going to be the biggest economy in the world. It is going to be the biggest superpower of the 21st century" by Clyde Prestowitz, president of the think tank Economic Strategy Institute and one of America's top foreign trade experts. Not to be a pessimist as I certainly hope this is true, but without a doubt, India has major issues it is still battling.
There is still a massive divide between the rich and poor. India is still the backoffice of the world and hasn't made the move (on a large-scale) to originator of new technologies and services nor does it have many world-class brands. Corruption is still quite rampant. Cows roam the streets. And did I mention, the Delhi Airport is terrible.
