With the development of nuclear power we have grown in stature but with so much poverty and corruptions around can we call it a super power nation. Please provide your valuable feedback for or against the state whether India Really is a super power nation.

I do not think that a country has the right to be called a "super-power" unless its citizens are provided with basic means- enough food, shelter, clothes as well as affordable education. What use are nuclear power and weapons and space centres, and supercomputers, if basic problems are not solved? I feel we should first solve basic issues, and then think in terms of becoming a superpower.

But if you would look into USSR before they were called superpower country because of the weapons they have but internally their citizen were not really given the liberty and everything. But I agree with your own definition. There is actually no real definition of what a super power country is.

You should compare Indiawith the Philippines, and see how super power you're country is. we got poverty and corruption but look on the bright side of your country's achievements compare them to others. India has mark being part of a strong nation, unfortunately, being named superpower is exagerrated.
