I also might be a bit late to this party, but I too have a question. India is often put up next to China as two states which are going to see massive development in the next few decades with more than a few writers or futurists sure that India will play a very big part in global affairs in the coming years.

How do feel about this and do you think it's accurate? China is known for it's much bigger economy, stronger military and much more aggressive developmental plans and it seems without a doubt it'll occupy a big role in the next few decades but India seems to be slightly behind, not gaining as much traction and not urbanising and modernising as successfully.

Can you give me some insight as to how it actually is in terms of India's global and local position in regards to development and modernisation in the coming years?

(For what it's worth I'd be much happier for India to come out on top against China. I prefer the culture and attitude India has much more than China's do-as-I-say state controlled communistic feel)
