in fairness, the goal of nations isn't necessarily to be a global super power. Even the author acknowledges that India is on track to ensure her citizens have good opportunities and good lives. India will, by its shear size, always remain geopolitically relevant, just not in a global power type of way. I'm not even sure if the Indians desire superpower status and the responsibilities/costs associated with it.

What's that law where if a headline asks a question, the answer is 'no'? This is such a perfect example of that.
