India would be a superpower by 2012: Kalam

UDHAGAMANDALAM (TN): Former President A P J Abdul Kalam on Friday lauded ISRO's scientists for successfully launching the PSLV-C9 to put 10 satellites in orbit.
Besides, the Chandrayaan-I unmanned moon mission by the year end would add another feather in the country's space programme, Kalam, here to participate in a school function, said. India has become very advanced in space technology, he said, adding the country would become a superpower by 2012.

"Though I have envisioned India to become a superpower by 2020, the attitude and the confidence of the youth, to conquer everything in the right spirit, would make the country a global leader and superpower within five years," Kalam said.
 
It's like a woman who thinks she's a ten, but doesn't realize that her value is determined by others. The same goes for being a superpower. It's determined by others. You don't see China and the US calling themselves superpowers.

Such self-declarations don't serve anyone.
