India's (pervert) Obsession to be a Super Power

Many (well educated) Indians always dream of India being a Super Power. What adds fuel to this dream, is the continued news barrage, of how India's economy is growing, and how it will overtake United States, and China.

If quality of life is taken into consideration, hundreds of millions of Indians live a miserable life. The government doesn't takes care of them, neither do wealthy Indians. That's the reason, the actual number of people, living in dire poverty actually hasn't came down.
If one looks at India objectively, one sees a nation, whose GDP is amongst the fastest growing in the world. On the the other hand, India is full of corruption, and a very incompetent legal system. Judiciary and Police are the two important arms of the govt, which ensures, that citizens of that country get justice. But both these arms are extremely pathetic. The police force is very corrupt, and incomptent. It has totally failed to maintain law and order.
Same goes for the judiciary. One cannot expect justice from the Indian judiciary. Delays of years is the norm in India's courts. And even after years and years of delay, one cannot expect to get justice.

India is actually light years away from being a Super Power, and it is nowhere on the path to become one. Masses of asses don't mean anything. They are just cannon fodder. The sooner majority of Indians realize this, the better it is for the country.
