India’s Great Powers List Ranking: India overtakes France and the UK in eight great powers for 2025 Find out the rankings of the United States, China, Russia, Japan and South Korea
According to a report by the Eurasia Times, despite the rise of China, America remains the most powerful country in the world. While China ranks second, Russia remains in third place even after the Ukraine war. India is also presented as a major global power in this list. The special thing about this entire list is that Asia is dominant and 4 countries have secured a place in it. This report says that Asia’s dominance shows that global power is now moving away from the Euro-Atlantic region towards the Indo-Pacific region.
What about the two superpowers, America and China?
In the past 500 years, Western countries have mainly exercised influence over world powers. Although America played a decisive role in the last century, it constitutes a major power in the Atlantic Ocean. At the same time, if America plays a decisive role in this century, it will be in the Indo-Pacific region. This classification was made by the American news site 19FortyFive and was conducted by Dr. Robert Farley. Dr. Robert teaches security and diplomacy at the Patterson School in America. He also wrote many popular books.
This classification indicates that America has the most lethal and expansive defense establishment in the world. America is the only country that has the ability to carry out military action on any continent of the world at any time. In this, China took second place, but the decline in population had a bad effect on it. However, it also says that the technology gap between China and America is narrowing and that Dragon is constantly expanding its economy and defense industrial base.
The Ukraine war has no impact on Russia
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 cautiously expanding its business in Central Asia and Africa, thus increasing its strategic scope. She says that despite the sanctions imposed by Western countries, Russia still has many advantages. Russia has reserves of natural resources. Although Russia’s population is aging, it is more educated. Russia still has a lot of nuclear bombs, and so it continues its campaign in Ukraine without any restrictions.
India becomes a “new entrant” in the list
India ranked fifth and was given ‘newcomer’ status in the list. It says that India’s population is very good and its rate of economic progress is higher than any other country on this list. India’s political system is open and this encourages technology companies to innovate. India has very good defense relations with Britain, France, America and Russia. Thus, India easily obtains the latest military technology. However, Pakistan continues to influence India, thereby affecting New Delhi’s broader international influence.
