Economics

Haven't watched the video yet (love Ben Norton's work though so i'll definitely give it a listen when i have time), but i'd say it's unlikely unless and until they ditch the Modi era neoliberalism and adopt policies more like China's. Right now they appear to be stuck in the kind of trap that the IMF usually lays for countries in the global south, where economic and social growth is crippled by liberalization, as the country is fooled into thinking that it can skip the industrialization step and go straight to the tech/services/finance/real estate stage that the West is at in the false belief that this will lead to similar prosperity as in the West, blind to the fact that the West's wealth is really in large part a result of imperialist/neo-colonial exploitation of countries like theirs. Meanwhile their country's wealth and the value generated by its labor is not used to grow a real economy but is funneled into the pockets of local oligarchies and foreign investors. That is not a recipe for creating a superpower, even with a country as large, populous and rich in natural resources as India that would otherwise have the potential.
