washington: US News has recently released the list of the most powerful countries in the world. US News, in collaboration with some companies, has prepared this list measuring the development in different sectors. In preparing it, five bases have been considered – military power, the country’s ability to lead the world and its political influence, economic condition and its influence in strong alliances of the world. In US News’ ranking of the world’s top powerful countries in 2024, America has secured the first position, China second, Russia third, Germany fourth, Britain fifth, South Korea sixth, France seventh, Japan eighth, Saudi Arabia ninth and UAE tenth.
India is at number 12 in this list. India’s economy and army are stronger than many countries included in the top-10. India also has influence in many international organizations but it has not been included in the top 10 in the list. To some extent, US News has also explained the reason for India not being included in the list. The report said that India, a country in South Asia, is a rapidly growing economy with a large and skilled workforce but due to its large population, it is one of the poorest countries in the world in terms of per capita income and gross national product. There is one.
Low per capita income is the biggest blow to India
India’s economy is worth 3.39 trillion dollars. India is among the top five economies of the world but its per capita GDP is $8,379, which looks quite weak compared to the top countries included in this list. Saudi Arabia, which is at number nine in the list, has a GDP of 1.11 trillion dollars, which means it is far behind India but its per capita income is more than 59 thousand dollars. Which shows his strength. If the population of China, which is second in the list, is almost equal to that of India, then its total GDP is 18 trillion dollars. In such a situation, India has suffered a big setback in this matter.
The list of the most powerful countries in the world is out, America is on top, China is second, India surprised everyone.
India is a member of many international organizations including the United Nations, World Bank and Asian Development Bank but India has still not got permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council. Because of this, it has not yet become a force like America or China on strong international platforms. If we talk about military strength, India is included in the top 5 countries of the world. However, India imports a large part of its weapons. A report by Sweden’s Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in March last month says that India has been the world’s largest arms buyer in the last five years. At the same time, the top countries included in the report like America and China are manufacturing weapons themselves on a large scale.
When will India become a permanent member of the United Nations? When the question was asked to the Foreign Minister
Apart from these important issues, among the areas where India has got weak ranking in the report, there are many areas like Quality of Life. India has got 39th position in quality life and 71st position in social purpose in this list. In this list, India’s neighboring country Bangladesh has got 40th rank, Sri Lanka has got 53rd rank and Myanmar has got 58th rank. For this reason India has lagged behind in this list. Whereas countries like China and America are far ahead.
