India, which is rapidly making its presence felt in the world, has made it to the list of the 8 great powers of the world. In this latest list released at the end of 2024, India has left behind countries like Britain, France and South Korea. This list has been prepared on the basis of economic, social, political influence, political stability and military strength. In this list released under the name 'The Eight Great Powers of 2025', superpower America has got the first place, China second, Russia third, Japan fourth, India fifth, France sixth, Britain seventh and South Korea eighth.
Despite China's rise, America remains the most powerful country in the world. While China is at number two, Russia remains at third place even after the Ukraine war. India has also been presented as a big global power in this list. The special thing in this entire list is that Asia dominates and 4 countries have got a place in it. This report says that the dominance of Asia shows that global power is now moving away from the Euro Atlantic region towards the Indo-Pacific region.
What did he say about superpowers America and China?
In the last 500 years, Western countries have mainly held their influence in global power. In the last century, America played a decisive role but it is an Atlantic superpower. On the other hand, if America plays a decisive role in this century too, it will be in the Indo-Pacific region. This ranking has been done by American news website 19FortyFive and it has been done by Dr. Robert Farley. Dr. Robert teaches security and diplomacy at Patterson School in America. He has also written many popular books.
This ranking states that the US has the world's most lethal and extensive defense establishment. The US is the only country that has the power to take military action in any continent of the world at any time. China has been ranked second in this, but the decline in population has had a bad effect on it. However, it also states that the technological gap between China and the US is decreasing and the Dragon is constantly expanding its economy and defense industrial base.
Russia is not affected by the Ukraine war
Dr. Robert said that China's biggest weakness was that it did not have a strong alliance, but now after the Ukraine war, Beijing is moving in this direction. China is expanding business in Central Asia and Africa very cautiously, which is increasing its strategic reach. It states that Russia still has many advantages even after the sanctions of Western countries. Russia has a storehouse of natural resources. Russia's population may be getting older, but it is very large and educated. Russia still has plenty of nuclear bombs and is continuing its campaign in Ukraine with little hindrance.
India becomes 'newcomer' in the list
India has got the fifth ranking and has been given the status of 'newcomer' in the list. It has been said that India has a very good population and its economic growth rate is higher than any other country in this list. India's political system is open and this inspires technology companies to innovate. India has very good defense relations with Britain, France, America and Russia. Due to this, India easily gets the most modern military technology. However, India is constantly being influenced by Pakistan, which is affecting New Delhi's wider international influence.
