India is home to one of the largest Muslim populations on Earth—over 200 million—making it nearly the most populous Muslim nation globally, despite Muslims forming just around 15% of its total population. That in itself is the size of a giant nation.
Geopolitically, India is a behemoth:
• The most populous country in the world.
• The 7th largest by landmass.
• A rapidly growing consumer economy, destined to become the largest market by both value and volume.
• A nuclear power accelerating indigenization of its weapons systems.
• A naval force with aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines dominating the Indian Ocean.
Historically, India was once the crown of global power during the Mughal era—a time when the subcontinent was the world’s economic and cultural epicentre.
Today, the Islamic world finds itself fragmented—beleaguered by internal strife and external pressure from powerful Western blocs. But if India, with its demographic gravity and rising global stature, were to emerge as a unifying force in the Muslim world, it could provide Islam with a leadership platform never seen before.
Such a transformation would shake the very core of global power equations. Enemies—be they Zionist, Western, or even regional competitors—would feel the tremors. A Muslim-majority superpower with India’s industrial, cultural, and technological base would be a game-changer.
And when it comes to alliances, India’s roots run deep:
• Civilizational kinship with the Gulf.
• Strategic warmth with Russia.
• Expanding influence in Africa.
• A global diaspora that includes not just Indians but also Pakistani brethren, shaping societies across the West.
And on social media, good luck to anyone trying to take us on:
Mehdi Hasan will lead the charge with Palki Sharma flanking him, eviscerating adversaries with calm fire. Gaurav Arya and Zaid Hamid might just join forces—while General Bakshi brings the thunder.
The world won’t just watch—we’ll make sure it listens.
