#VISHWAGURU
Quite a lot of people snigger when Modi talks of India as a Vishwa Guru.
Two reasons:
• Divisions within India
• A self-flagellating & self-defeating belief that India is not, and will never be, powerful enough to be taken seriously by the world.

If we dismiss the doomsayers, as totally missing all the positives, and the definite possibility of India becoming, at least the No.3 power in the world, what role should India aim for in the world, which is realistic and fits it's genius?
• Step 1 is, of course, to resolve fundamental strains & divisions within India, which are principally religion, caste & Marxist ideology.
By the end of this decade India should have developed, enough economically, to erase social & economic backwardness, which
By the end of this decade India should have developed, enough economically, to erase social & economic backwardness, which
should considerably ease internal tensions, apart from other positive actions to be taken.
A forward looking nation, which is racing to become the No.1 power by 2047, should have dropped most, if not ALL religious, caste & ideological baggage of the past, by this time.

Inevitably, the question will arise, what should India's role in the world be, as it rises up into one of 3 top slots, from the 2030's to 2047?
There is not a shadow of a doubt that India by then, would be a very credible, if not the dominant military power.

If we look at the past, right down to China's recent rise, there is almost no middling to Great Power, which has not been violently expansionist.

It is in this context, that India can become a Vishwa Guru...the first Great Power, with great military strength &
prowess at its command, but voluntarily dedicated to development, progress & peace between nations.
It is India's great civilisational past which will be the foundation, and provide the credibility to enunciate and perform this unique role among the nations of the earth.

The kind of tectonic technological changes, which would have taken place by the mid-century, will require great wisdom to guide international affairs, if Planet Earth is not to self-destruct...not the dominant, cynical philosophy that ALL GREAT POWERS WILL BE EXPANSIONIST.
It is in breaking this mould of a Great Power, that Bharat can truly become a Vishwa Guru.
