Obstacles hindering the rise of India as a superpower

a) Widespread poverty: In a population of over 1 billion, about 25% live below the poverty
line (Source: Planning Commission). Poverty in turn begets problems like child labor,
unemployment, crime and health issues.

b) Disorganization: Poor governance and varying state regulations also hinder growth
and are a cause of worry. Poor infrastructure continues to act as a bottleneck for further
economic development.

c) Social divide and communal disputes: India is a diverse mix of religions, castes and
communities, and is periodically afflicted by caste disputes and communal clashes.
It would surely progress faster in a less caste-driven society.


SKIING  SEASON !!  SKIING  VACATION !!  WINTER  SPORT !!
Skiing is a group of sports using skis as equipment for traveling over snow.
Skis are used in conjunction with boots that connect to the ski with use of abinding.
Skiing can be grouped into two general categories. Nordic skiing, the older of the
two disciplines, originated in Scandinavia and uses free-heel bindings that attach
at the toes of the skier's boots but not at the heels. Types of Nordic skiing include 
cross-country, ski jumping and Telemark. Alpine skiing (often called "downhill skiing"),
originated in the European Alps, and is characterized by fixed-heel bindings that attach
at both the toe and the heel of the skier's boot.
