I am US citizen of Indian origin. Ambassador Sibal has broad and remarkably realistic grasp of India's current and future geopolitical role, given India's current and factual standing in global economic, technological, military and diplomatic spheres. India is steadily evolving, but it is still far from being considered a pillar in a multipolar world. Being third biggest economy in nominal GDP is meaningless. India is on the right trajectory if it manages to keep political stability, build world class education system (so that Indian students stay back home), and keep growing a productive economy at 8% rate. However, today, the standard of living of ordinary Indian in terms of income, jobs, housing, education, healthcare, infrastructure, etc. is well behind even Southeast Asia, much less China or the west.
