>most Americans aren't even thinking of: India Superpower 2020 meme aside, the geopolitical implications of a risen India is profound. Within striking range of every significant SLOC for Europe, MENA, east Africa and Asia until arctic shipping becomes viable. Perhaps the biggest strategic blunder in recent human history was carving out antagonistic Pakistan, combined with PRC influenced Myanmar which prevents land access to most of Euroasia. That said, India is reaching terminal demographics as well, and far from getting rich before getting old. And apart from all the QUAD / potential for west alignment, I think any strategic thinker outside of India with half a brain cell will want to keep India down for as long as possible if not bulkanize her.
