Of course, America will fall, India will take over America, then in due time, China.. India has a more stable economy and economic allies because once america falls, China cannot export as many goods, as America wont be able to buy them.

The country may have a high GDP; however, there are so many people that the per capita income is still quite low.

Many of the people of India live in the slums, and those who are near the Ganges bathe in it, defecate in it, and bury their dead it in. The conditions are extremely unsanitary and many streets are riddled with litter.

Cows walk around free and can cause major traffic jams.

In terms of GDP they might -- eventually. But not by 2020. India has a looong way to go before it catches up with the US.

GDP Comparison

Also I'm not sure whether India's massive population is more of an asset or a liability. There's lots of potential there, but also a lot of mouths to feed.

population is not a problem for the Indians because china also have a great population and second thing is that now this time any one can not say that India comes after America even from many sides America is depended on India .India can over come America before 2020.

That's like saying cancer isn't a problem because some other guy also has cancer.

India is more dependent on America than America on India.

India may be an up and coming superpower, but not by 2020. It still has too many social issues.

Side: Not by 2020

Not by 2020.

It's social problems aren't as problematic as western social problems.

It's poverty issues shouldn't be overlooked but will eventually decline - it's more to do with polarity of lifestyles than economic or social issues.

It will slowly become better... but will quickly get worse. I went India 4-3 years ago and again a few months ago. The rate at which it has grown economically is great... but socially it has inherited some of the west's problems - sluttiness, individualism, lack of self respect and dignity etc. etc. I haven't seen a degrade in communities or community values but I'm pretty sure it will slowly occur.

However it's only in small pockets of urban areas this is occuring. Hopefully being India it won't affect the whole country.

Side: Not by 2020

Not if they get rid of the caste system and combat their poverty problems. Time Magazine said According to the UN "eight Indian states account for more poor people than the 26 poorest African nations combined".

Side: Not by 2020

I don't think so. India could never overtake America because America is stronger and has better technology.

Side: never

If the U.S.A's economy didn't grow at all, and the Indian economy continued to grow at current rates (6%) then I have calculated that it would take 44 years for India to match the U.S.A.. Even then, the U.S.A's GNP per capita would be five times that of India. The Indians on this site are letting their pride get ahead of their sense - it will never happen.

I have already provided the necessary statistics. Unless you can provides some information which shows that India's economy will continue to grow, without slowing at all, and that the U.S's economy will remain stagnant, then I shall be disinclined to believe you.
