Will India become a superpower?

I happened to watch this interesting talk a couple of weeks back, by Ramachandra Guha, given during his trip to Canada earlier this year. He discusses the ten hurdles on the path towards 'superpowerdom' and tell why he feels India will not and should not become a superpower. It gives quite an honest assessment of today's India.

I just found out that the text of the talk was published by the Outlook. Some of the comments (there are many!) are also worth reading.
