Why India isn’t taken seriously by the world

India is busy patting itself on the back for having overtaken China as the world’s fastest growing major economy.  But, for all that, China has – and will continue to have – far greater clout on the international scene than India.  The world takes China seriously, and treats it with respect.  The world doesn’t take India seriously, and often treats it with disrespect.

According to a TOI report, if you are an Indian going to the US – to study, do business, to visit friends and relations, or just for a holiday – you should have with you your most recent bank statement, proof of sufficient funds for the duration of your stay, your income tax returns for the last couple of years and ‘anything else which you think might be relevant to your case’.  The source for the TOI report is the US department of homeland security, customs and border protection.

Indian-origin Americans, said to be the most prosperous of any immigrant community in America, including the Chinese community, haven’t raised a stink about the issue.

Any sensible student of international politics knows that if world does not take India seriously, it is not simply based on 18 months of modi govt performance as CD was trying to tell us.  It is a result of the failed policies of CD's congress, laloo, and YSR actions over the past 60 years.

I'm stupid because Modiji has failed to deliver or meet his disciples (like you) expectations, so far?!

CD,

You repeat the same stupid argument Modi is responsible for how the world views India.  As I said it was an opinion formed over 60 years of your favorite (corrupt, inept) politicians. This ship will take a long time to turn.  Modi is atleat trying.

All along I heard and read a lot (from NRI patriots) about our 56-incher's heroics, as to how he would give मुहतोड़ जवाब to them Pakistanis and change India's image. Don't fault lesser mortals like me for having high hopes on our 56-inch Lord.

Comrade, you're like that jealous, passive-aggressive mother-in-law in Indian movies who is forever grumbling her lot in life. 

Modi was elected thanks to the ineptitude of the previous government. If he fails, 2019 will bring in a new government in India. No amount of your grumbling will matter until then.

Are you a 5 y/o who believes in magic n magic wands?
Did you think things of that magnitude can be changed overnight?

Have you ever led a team? Maybe you're an individual contributor who imagines he can manage a team more efficiently than your team lead/project manager. 

Bringing about change in world's attitude towards a country takes time.

No I never did any of those but I thought my great NRI patriot brethren and sistren did which is why I took at their word. Am I wrong in believing in them?

Deportation of Indian students from the US continued through the first two days of the New Year with some estimating that as many as 30 students from Hyderabad were sent back in the last 48 hours.

The ports of deportation included New York, San Francisco and Seattle. A bunch of students who allegedly failed to clear immigration at Los Angeles too were given marching orders.

Most of these students, it appears, where headed for the two California-based universities that are currently caught in controversy - Silicon Valley University (SVU) and Northwestern Polytechnic University (NPU). Both the institutions maintain that they have been given the clean chit by the US authorities (the US Department of Homeland Security) who have confirmed that they are not "blacklisted" - as was alleged by some airline operators.

Students are completely in the dark about just what the problem is. Indian authorities, they claim, have done little so far. "Apart from saying that they are looking into the matter, the external affairs ministry has done nothing else. I have no doubt that this crisis will be resolved only when the two governments start a dialogue and accordingly take appropriate measures. But I, sadly, do not see that happening. The two countries should realize that they have jeopardized the careers of hundreds of students like me," said a SVU-bound student who was deported to Hyderabad late last month.

These students can have a better career if they study in local universities in India. I don't think their careers are ruined.

They are lying flat out. I am sure these are guys who failed repeatedly before barely passing their UG education. They must hv been denied admission everywhere ane relied on "consultants" to get them admission - somewhere , anywhere.

Let them get some kjob in India and work for 2 years FIRST.

Typical Desi (frog in the well) mindset, does it matter whether they barely passed or passed with distinction, to what they're going through.

What are they going through.... these are moneyed guys looking for a 10 x 8 certificate from anywhere so they could get a big fat dowry. One guy says his father hard earned Rs 2 lacs is now wasted....but also says his father owns some bus company.

This is called a risk factor and one takes into account while looking for short cuts to reach any desired destination. I have no sympthay or empathy for these guys.

What kind of logic is this, they're rich so it is OKAY to kick them out for no valid reason. What do you mean by shortcuts, they're issued a visa.

You are thinking like a Musalman and arriving at a Koranic-conclusion. That is what happens when you praise Koranists all the time - you think like them.
