    India is a country that could be a superpower. They have the size, the population, the education, the industries, and the location. What they're missing is democratic leadership.

    India has aligned itself with China, Russia, Brazil, and South Africa. All countries that have been kicked out of the international adults table because their leadership act like babies. India choose to make these alliances because these countries don't put stipulations on human rights as part of their agreements. Indian leadership doesn't want to clean up their country, they'd rather make friends with Xi and Putin.

    This mostly comes from their population voting in religious nationalists, which I hope is a good lesson to everyone as to why that's such a bad idea.

        …because their leadership act like babies.

        Second quote is me completing the original. Why did you cut that last part of the sentence out?

        You are aware you just counted 40% of the world population, and with them comes 20% more? So you dismissed more than half of human population in one sentence?

        Ah that's why. Yeah no they didn't. They were talking about the people leading those countries, not the entire population.

        Let's not even talk about racist part, which I hope is not intentional, when you take a look of who left on your "interational adult table".

        It's racist to call someone of another race "boy".

        It's not racist to say that a country's leadership is acting childish. Heck it would actually be racist if someone were to say "all Indians are childish." But that's not what happened.

        People call other people childish all the time without a hint of racist intent.
