India can surely some day can and will become a superpower there is no reason why india cannot become a superpower,india not only has one of the worlds largest armed forces but its armed forces are also well experienced fighting the conventional war in kashmir.India is also on the verge of an economic boom after which it can also dictate regional as wel as world politics india is almost immune to all economic sanctions as we have reached indigenisation in almost all fields.India has already acquired nuclear weapons weapons and also has long range strategic bombers as well as advanced fighter jets to carry and deliver these super lethal warheads.India has itself build its own next generation tank as well as fighter aircraft and has also acvieved indigenisation in missile production.Hence i see no reason why india cannot become a superpower in the next 10 years
