India will be a superpower if and only if, its population gets reduced by 1/3rd of its present population.
How?
Plus, our highly spiritual brahmins had defined Sudra as one who is condemned to cry out throughout life because of his/her past karmas for which he/she was born in that low caste.
-- This might have happened only in the mediaeval periods when India was under Muslim and christian rule or some foreign rule and not during vedic times (may be you can ask me how will you know? ...Mostly India was prosperous before invasions...No one was living in dire poverty like this - May be this is my personal view also)

The cyclical occurrence of famine has been a mainstay of societies engaged in subsistence agriculture since the dawn of agriculture itself. The frequency and intensity of famine has fluctuated throughout history, depending on changes in food demand, such as population growth, and supply-side shifts caused by changing climactic conditions.
The feudal system of the Middle Ages, in which subsistence peasants worked on the land of a lord in return for protection, was not conducive to improvement or change, as neither the peasants nor the landlords had much economic incentive to increase the land's productivity.
The mouthpiece of RSS has spoken, it must be a direct revelation from God. We do not need any proof.
The false declaration that in ancient times, before History was written all on "this mythical world called Bharat" were millionaires.
Yes the dinosaurs may have had a field day in the ancient days, not human beings. Just because you keep screaming a lie does not become the truth. Unfortunately the truth is a minor inconvenience that can be swept under the rug.
India and Indian History did not exist before the British came to India. The Indian princely states were poorly managed, poorly defended. The foreign forces could plunder and loot these princely states.
Even today after 66 years of independence we do not have schools in every village. For the ignorant our family runs a school in Tanjore districts. There are no other school in 20 mile radius of this school. The principle who was being paid by government falsified all record to show that there was a school.
So please tell no more lies.
The world trade was minuscule in 1st century. 100% of zero is still zero.
Shri Prasad,
You know that some members here hold on to the view that India was the pinnacle of everything best in this world before the invaders came, looted and made us backward for ever afterwards. Only psychologists or regression techniques may be able to alter their fondly cherished views and make them see objectively. I don't know whether you had been a member when there was a heated 'fight' between Nara and another person who came from outside, on the very same topic; that guest also held very similar, grandiose views about ancient India.

Reality:Reality is the conjectured state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined.
It is healthy to be self praising than self loathing.
Self praising without substance is called boasting.Boasting or bragging is the act of making an ostentatious speech. It is considered a vice by major religious groups such as Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Boasting has also been studied by such evolutionary psychologists as Robert Wright, and can involve magnifying an accomplishment out of proportion to its importance.

1. The sea route to India was found with great difficulty sailing for days and months together(after several earliers attempts failed) just because the Europeans wanted to come for sightseeing in a country wallowing in abject poverty.
2. They never heard anything great or they never heard any true stories of the prosperity of the Bharathvarsh. They knew that Bharathvarsh was another dark continent with aborigines populating it without any scope for any business there. This is the reason why they sent their merchants to India on that long voyage and not soldiers.
3. I was born in the later half of the 20th century in a small village in the Bharathvarsh which has become India by then. In my village there were people belonging to various communities like brahmins, pillais, yadavs, thevars and dalits. all of them owned lands of various extent. very few dalits owned lands of their own. They were largely agricultural labourers who depended on the landlords for their income and livelyhood. The barbers, the dhobies and the shoemakers were all given a certain share of the produce from the harvested grain which was determined on the basis of the extent of land owned by the landlord. This was in addition to the charges paid to them for the services they rendered regularly to the people of the village.
I would be happy to know from our learned two members which other civilization in the world had such a welfare measure written into the village community management as an unwritten law. If they could point out a single instance of a superior system of social welfare measure as a part of culture of the people, it will help the RSS mouth pieces shut their mouth and also help the opposite tail pieces open up royally. LOL.
This chart will help to comprehend India's glorious past in trade. We have to eschew western model and reinstate bharat's model of governance (distributed) and trade (widely spread among populace instead of concentration) and dharmic.
Modi's visit to Australia next month will include a public meeting in a stadium with a capacity of 20000. Expected that this event will make Modi visible to native australians too.
NEWDELHI: When Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aides were working with organisersof the Madison Square Garden address in New York to get the show off theground, they were also speaking to another group pitching for a similar eventin a diametrically opposite part of the globe—Indian-Australians eager to hostModi during his trip Down Under in November.
It’s nowless than a month till Modi’s Madison Square Garden redux—addressing over15,000 overseas Indians at Australia’s largest indoor venue on November 17 from6 pm onwards.
Theorganisers expect to fill out all the seats at the Allphones arena, though thecrowd will be slightly smaller—mainly due to the format of the event—between15,000 and 18,000, compared to the record 19,000 people who raucously cheeredModi on September 28.
Modi willbe attending the G-20 leaders’ summit on November 15-16 and will then beattending bilateral talks in Canberra—the first in Australia by an Indian PM in28 years. He will be addressing a joint session of the federal parliament inCanberra—again a first by an Indian PM. This honour has been given to two otherleaders to the G20 summit, British PM David Cameron and Chinese president XiJinping.

Modi is some kind of "phenomenon" and PIOs abroad, like 30% of the electorate in India, may be under the impression that Modi is some kind of an "avataar" who will wield the magic wand and make India the No.1 Super Power of the World and all that.
I am more a pragmatist and to the best of my knowledge, it will be difficult to turn around India into such a Super Power in one lifetime, say, the next 70 years, even for Modi. His manner of going about this task is also faulty, according to me. On the one hand he gives impossible promises like bringing back all the black money within 100 days of his reign (!) but has no shame taking a U-turn when the time comes; his grandiose plans like Clean Ganga, Swachha Bharat, and this house for everyone, etc., will also have the same fate as his black money (mis) promise. Already, cooking gas has come back to Aadhaar-linking and 9 cylinders.
On the other hand Modi is giving every indication that he is beyond the Party, beyond RSS and in course of time, he is likely to make himself beyond the Constitution also. But corruption is likely to raise its ugly head even for Modi government since one senior minister has already come under some shadow of doubt.
I therefore feel that much of the Modi promises will remain promises and will not materialize and it will be the Indian electorate who will be ultimately fooled. So, let us be a bit more pragmatic and watch what happens.
It is not known on what basis the ancient GDP of different countries have been worked out. I feel the data from about 1700 or so may be at least loosely verifiable but not in the earlier period. It is significant that neither the chart nor the poster has any comments about the basis of computation. And, if PPP comes in, how was PPP arrived at for those ancient periods?
This chart can be believed only on the quality of explanations to the above points.
CHINA has become the world's second biggest economy according to data released on Monday August 16th. Japan's economy fell behind China's at market exchange rates in the second quarter (it has been number three in PPP terms for some time). These numbers are not strictly comparable: Japan's data have been seasonally adjusted while those for China have not. Quibbles aside, Japan will surely be eclipsed soon, if it has not been already. Data compiled by Angus Maddison, an economist who died earlier this year, suggest that China and India were the biggest economies in the world for almost all of the past 2000 years. Why they fell so far behind may be more of a mystery than why they are currently flourishing.

A wise response would have been - let us watch. What is the need for such negativity that india is bad, indians are bad, past was very bad, the country was in doldrums always.
If our wishes and predictions and expectations are met, India will have another golden era; but your negative wishes and downward pointing expectations are not shared by many.
