Corruption & Mismanagement on mass scales is what holds them back
Also, obviously, population overgrowth |

It is now sufficiently clear that despite improved incomes and increased production, not only per capita availability but also intake of most food items declined during the last decade. Nor is there any reason to take solace in the fact that this decline is occurring only in case of cereals and pulses and is a sign of diet diversification because of increasing prosperity. Whatever may be the answer to this puzzle, the fact remains that issues of food and hunger do remain a challenge for the Indian economy. This has implications for the biggest challenge facing the country: that of the severe malnutrition which remains stubbornly resistant to any change.

To be fair though, they expect a LOT of people to rise up out of poverty over the next 10-15 years. We're talking hundred of millions |

As their global influence becomes stronger, it's going to be inevitable that they'll have to invest in large scale military infrastructure. All superpowers do.
The fact is that you never know what a country can do until after the fight and win/lose a war. |

This is different from China, which has always seen itself as preeminent both politically and culturally, and views its recent success as a restoration to a rightful world order. China will be the greater power because they want it more. |

By cultural I mean that Indians take pride in being at the crossroads of three or four major world religions, or their music, history, architecture, etc. They want to be recognized as having a place alongside China, US, and the major European powers, but that doesn't translate into a desire to export their equivalent of blue jeans and rock n'roll. At most, their cultural expansion via Bollywood or cricket is only for the diaspora.
