US Ranking ‘Kicks Out’ India Out Of World’s Most Powerful Countries
According to “US News and World Report,” India is 12th in the global rankings, behind Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Japan, France, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, China, and the United States.
Many may find this ranking of India behind even the UAE and Saudi Arabia or, for that matter, Japan behind South Korea in power terms in the Indo-Pacific a little surprising. However, it is noteworthy that the US News and World Report recognizes as many as six most powerful countries in Asia, sans India.
Giving 46.3 out of 100 to India, the ranking details do suggest India’s great potential in information technology services, business outsourcing services and software workers. But the country gets maximum points in the “heritage” and “cultural influence” segments.
