They will become a significant force just due to size alone. But too many people think they are like China in the cold war.Better not to wait for it. The Indians didn't have the work ethic of the Chinese for 77 years and counting. Waiting for them to transform their culture is gonna be like waiting for the Sun to rise from the West. If they had been hardworking and humble, they wouldn't be talking about superior genetics, or how more money will solve their problems, or how China's fall is their gain. They actually expect everyone else in the world to take them seriously, when they were seriously calling themselves the pioneers of the first manned flight millennia ago, and claiming that gaumutra (cow urine) is the elixir of life. There are better things to do in this universe than waiting for India to become a serious nation.
Since the US love their fictional stories so much, if China is the main antagonist then India is that filler villain that shows up to extend the plot length. Like at first you think he's the real big thing but after a while it turns out China is still the big bad and India was just another enemy that get defeated earlier after the hype wears off.
Would rather prefer it that way so India keeps USA distracted for a while so China can continue to grow.
India is supposed to be on the west's side but in their arrogance they will get everyone being their enemy before China even does anything at this rate. You wait until the time is right to strike instead of letting everyone know and then making them work against you. India really do not think people are going to strike back at them and when they do they will once again be completely surprised and unable to handle it.
