MENGENAI EPISOD INI
In 1998, former president #drkalam predicted that India was on its way to becoming a #superpower . Since then people have started referring to India as an emerging global power.
In 2009 Hillary Clinton called India "not just a regional power, but a global power". Following year US President Barack Obama stated “India is not just a rising power, it has already risen.” More recently Biden administration welcomed India’s “emergence as a #globalpower ”.
Indians have come to believe their ascent to superpower status is inevitable. However the economic growth has stalled, and for the first time since independence middle class has begun to shrink. India is failing to provide quality #education , decent #healthcare and most importantly jobs to its ever burgeoning population. Further the nation is struggling to keep up with the rapid technological breakthroughs such as Artificial Intelligence, Drone Warfare, 3D Printing, 5G and Blockchain taking place outside its borders.
Is Dr Kalam’s prediction still possible?
