Till 6 months ago, there was a lot of hype in the media about India shining and India as the next super power. I think the newspaper editors are brainwashed or too busy attending parties, they did not realize the reality. They think that politicians who speak in English with the right accent are efficient.
A country which cannot defend itself, where terror attacks take place on a weekly basis, will never be considered a superpower by other nations, whatever the English media may print. I wish the editors took a crash course in history and economics.
