among the bric nations which nation do you think will have great future
i feel it's india because
future lies in service sector and knowledge based industries which are india's key domains
I don't think it will be one nation, I think it will be the eastern part of the world which will decide the future. They are coming up with a lot these days, even major western world companies are moving over to the east. I think the western world (Europe & US) won't have as much to say anymore in about 100 years. Europe perhaps will remain having some word seeing as to how a majority of Europe's companies are located in the Eastern countries, I dont know how this is with the US.
But well yeh, for my choice of the options you gave that would then give India and China a good future and perhaps Russia as well, but dunno about that. Russia just is a massive country, times are changing, but I think it still is hard to truly build something up there especially with that climate and all. People are pretty much spread out there as far as I know besides several major cities. It's kinda like Australia, lol 
. I think it's Brazil, because... well... I live in Brazil! I hope it grows very very much 
China for me. Their economy is growing the fastest and their huge labour force means that the sky is the limit.
Among the 4 you mentioned, they all have strengths, but you probably need to specify in what way. For example, India has a strong background in science and math, while China is doing a lot of industrial work nowadays and is changing the world economy. It's anybody's game in my opinion.

not until they break free of tyrannyWhile Russia, India, Brazil, and China all have large populations I am not sure if there will be a leader that emerges from these four. All four will come on strong. US policy needs to consider this. These are countries that are proud of their respective heritage.
This is an excellent question. I would love to hear from more citizens of these four countries.
it must be China~~ as her economy is growing very fast~~
Its going to be China, once they get a real goverment. India might have had a chance if theirs wasnt so corrupt. Russia, they might become it for a few years, but would ruin it fast and Brazil? what they got?
China's economy is growing fast !!
India is invading the IT fields !!
Russia was one of the greatest nations one day ( remember the Soviet power ! )
kinda harb
but let me think ...
Brazil ??
hmmm ... They are just good on football 
lol It's got to be China. I have read that their economy is growing at an enormous rate, and they are taking a lot of business away from European companies and US companies.
I think in about 50 years time, they will be another super power; one to rival the old USSR maybe (but less rubbish).
Maybe we will all be dead from global warming by then though!
CHINA,
They are at least taking action to limit religion and production.
Africa.... man they just have problems beyond anyone's control.
Well, I think it's China, although I'm brazilian . Their economy is growing fast, I their population is very capable of doing something nice.
I don't think Brazil will grow up much, because the corruption here is so present in every area of the country that we will never grow like that.
i am an indian, and i think no single country can emerge a leader. while india has a strong IT workforce, china has IT, agritultural and mineral resources. so rather than just one nation, india-china-russia alliance will prove benificial for all the nations
and i dont know much about brazil, so cant comment on it
great future ?
all may have
only if we try ourselves to develop
I would say China for sure followed by India. Russia is not doing that well now but it should pick up in the future.
i dunno
but i think china maybe
china's economy grew by 9.0 percent and indians 8.0 so not much difference there , but still china has got in to the world markets better then india , everything we use in our daily life is made cheaper in china,
they have cheap labour too , but i think this is not thier plus point , it is thier weak point , chinese dont speak very good english , but india has a army of good english speaking graduates . india is no1 in software , and china is no 1 in hardware , but chinese political problems are far more worse then india , countries like usa or from Europe dont want a strong china , cuz they are scared china will dominate them. instead they want india to become a super power to counter Chinese threat ,
so this is another bonus for india , european gov has put limitations on chinese imports , china's economy is highly based on exports , but in india that is not the case , india is bigger market then china , so if any country want to trade with india , it is going to profit them , which is not in the case of china ,
the only minus point in india is the curruption and very poor infrastructure
if india can only improve thier health care and build good roads , proper electricity , then there is no stopping india ,
Russia for the first time after the fall of the soviet union , is making good progree , they are slowing building thier country to a rich country again , but what will be russia's role in world politics remains to be seen ,
someone said that europe and usa will loose power and eastern countries will dominate the world , i strongly disagree , usa will still play a very important role in world politics for the next 50 years ,
it is europe i am worried about , european countries ruled the world , and became rich , but sadly the money is now running out , and they dont have a bright future , europe will depend on the eastern countries for trade ,
as for other eastern countries , japan ,brazil ,china , Russia and india will lead the world economies , and it will change the face of asia
and to answer the first post , i strongly feel that in the coming 20 years india will be on top of china . india and china are in the race , China is rabbit and India is a turtle ,
I think the future of all these 4 countries are good. They can excel in different areas.
China will be the most prominent player, I think. Their large workforce and investment into their economy is staggering. While many may think that their political system is holding them back, most should realize the startling difference between how the USSR failed, and how China is determined not to follow that path. It is in their socialism that they have become the factory of the world. The most critical turning point in their future would be their transition from manufacturing to service and high tech industries. Until they can lead, they cannot compete with modern western economies.
no, no, no... The only country who would have a great futur is:
Russia!!! or, if you would, The United Socialistic Soviet Union!!!
They can create WAR!!! war is the only way to survive out there in the real world!!!
why should india have a great futur with service, if they are conquered by USSR?? then india will be russia and russia wil have the great service!!!
Russia will also be the worlds best spacerangers!!! the whole world will belong to the great USSR in the last end!!! the world will be perfeckt with clones of arnold swartzneger wandering around with a machingun, shooting small animals of inimportance!!!
or, maybe not.. As a possible world power China and India... I think, Brazil isn't in the same league but in the future it will be in the leader position of S. America. But all of them may have conflicts with the US because of their economy and geopolitical interests.
Russia... Ok, a military power and it has oil and gas reserves. But these resources will be depleted one day and a Russian GDP without these incomes... And they have several etnical problems in the Caucasus and demographical pressure in the Far East (chinese immigrants). So from the four mentioned countries I think, Russia have the face many difficulties...
What about Iran? And what about Africa and the Arabic states? What do you think?
I am an indian so i will always favour india.
but as of today there is real compitition between india and china.
some key points:
1. Indians have a very good command in english and this makes them globally accepted.
China on other hand are not so powered with english language.
2. Top asset for China is their production capacity.
It is fact that all indian small industries are close to shut down due to heavy dumping of chinese products( so may be he case with other countries)
3. India gets full support from US and Europe due to their fear from china.
4. China on the other hand supports pakistan and provides them with latest ammunition creating disturbance in subcontinent. ( due to the fact of known rivalry between INDIA and PAKISTAN)
5. china is also known to support the terrorist groups in east of india ( This is very rarely known to The outside world). Providing them both arms and shelter .
6. The corruption In india is at its peak.
7. The High Education and service orientation Makes India first choice for outsourcing and this is making India at the top right now.
I am an Indian. With that out way,
Right now china looks pretty much a rollercoster but we must remember that much of that is also hype created by chinese government. The Chinese have grossly undervalued theior currency, getting a very unfair advantage. But that advantage can only stay for so long. Also chinese forte is manufacturing.
India's forte is services. And it is a documented fact that services are growing much faster than manufacturing. Indias mastery of english language(My mother tongue is english, but I am more comfortable in english), along with a large educated workforce gives it a very big advantage in services.
The political system of India is much more matured than china. This of cource is very debatable, but democracy has a slower rate of growth than communism, but its much more sustainable.
of course china~~
i think.....
because i am a chinese
and also i think that
china grow stronger than before
There's no reason why China and India cannot both go extremely well. In any case, European dominance is at an end.
Many people mentioned English as India's advantage over China. Well, I think that as the Chinese become more and more powerful, both economically and politically, Mandarin will become a more and more important language.
Personally, I'm Australian, and I am glad to see both countries doing well.
Australia is the most selfish and racist country in the world , but that is not the topic , so i will let it pass
china depends on taiwan , for trade , but taiwan has shown intrests of doing trade with india now , but they need political support , since india is a major power in the world now , and its voice is heard , on the other hand vietanam is also looking for support from india , cuz it doesnt trust either the chinese or the usa , so india could basically do to china with vietanam , what china did to india with pakistan ,
Japan favours india over china , so we have trade coming in from there too ,
i agree with someone who said mandarin is becoming important , now people in the USA are keeping chinese maids , so that thier children will learn chinese , they think it is the next big language ,
some stupid guy said of russia invading india ? it would be the last thing russia would ever do , russia is a good freind of india , and india and russia are working on many projects together , for ex: space and defence ,
Russia would never want to loose its freind in asia (india)
if u look at the world map , india has the kep position in asia , asia will become more powerfull in the future , and the usa , and europeans know that , so they want a freindly india , which is a democracy ,
Pakistan wont be any good to usa , and the only country which can fight the chinese is india ,
think about this , even if USA has the best missle technology , it cannot prevent a chinese missle from hitting them , cuz they will need some detectors near china , and india can provide that ,
think about this , Russia ,usa,europe and japan ,and many other small countries , want a stronger india ,
and all these countries are right now trying to limit chinese goods ,
so which country has a bright future ? | Devil wrote: |

not as many ice as Grenland have.
they have wood.
but it has one of the worst birth rate in the world it birth was at 914. there is nothing bad in this
u think russia has better economy then india
yes, russia has no tea and elephants, but it has beter economics than india.

Let me tell u again , russia doesnt have better economy then india , india's economy is the 4th largest in the world , i dont know which world u live in ,
and yes russia makes a lot of money selling weapons to india , but now india is making its own weapons , ever heard of brahmos ? its a misille ,made by russia and india together , and no one in the world has this technology , even the USA is 10 years behind getting that technology ,
after the coldwar , russia's space budget was cut down , but the USA feared that all the nuclear scientist would go to other countries and spread the know-how , so USA started funding the Russian space program , there is no doubt that russia is no1 in the space , but they still lack money , even the space station u talked about , they had to give some parts to USA and Japan ,hard say about this in one word byt I think that future adhere to China
I'm Brazilian, our country has a great reserve of resources, good research centers, large area ..., in fact everything that a great potency has.
However we´ve never had a great liderance, our govern system is very corrupted, at least in these past 3 years it has been decreasing because some big dump was discovered and reported by the media.
Brazil ,because.... I Like this country ... i live here!!!
Perfect!!!!!!!!
Not China, Russia possibly, India likely so is Brazil. Reasons: Although China claims to be Communist, they are anything but that. They have a MASSIVE difference between their poor and rich. The rich are ultra rich and the poor are ultra poor, IMO I think China might have another civil war some time. Russia is a developing country (I am Russiajn myself) but it is a VERY corrupted country selling its resources to everyone but using the minimum for itself. Military is crumbling but the budget is slowly growing, so I can see Russia as a non military power. India and Brazil are both doing very well in their nation's development. Indias population is growing steadily and so are its resources to accomodate the number of people not to mention their military (mostly Russian ). It is true that their educational levels are rising. Brazil is simply doing well, developing its alcohol driven planes etc . However, I do hope all countries develope well for their citizens. I would say its China and India. With the technology advancement in both of these countries and the amount of talents emerging from these two countries. China and India is gonna lead the whole asia to become the most dominant continent of the next decade.
But well, in terms of soccer, Its gonna be at least a 100 tears later. :-p

Wow. India a corrupt government? Lol, you wish. India has a stable government. Yes, I have to admit that there is a lot of poverty there, but their government is growing the fastest and there is improvement every day. A lot of American attention is being diverted there to help out. Also, anyone heard of Falun Gong? (I think something like that, it's some sort of self controll, meditation thing...) Guess what..? In China, you get tortured/beat/murdered for practicing it. That is a bit extreme. That government is corrupt. Just search torture methods on google and a bunch of sites will pop up on Falun Gong practitioners gettiong tortured in 2003 and stuff.Wow, this thread is wicked. This should be stickied and made more active. Nice thread.
You guys right, I'm in China and China is the corruptest country you've heard of. Even in internet, you don't have freedom, heard about GFW?
China = Economy overheats and they will be crying for liek..ages/ human rights FTW
India = errrr Population Overload horrid living conditions, i saw some univeristy prediction of a major crises in india in 10 years, cant remeber what from but i think it was population related
Brazil = Ummm maybe... worlds largest sugar exporter, sugar creates ethonol which is a form of fuel we will surely convert to sooner or later, although the country is overpopulated their standard of living is terrible, and there is complete inequality in the distribution of income of the nation
Russia = Go back to communism and maybe , they have tonnes of resources, skilled workers and well they have been a superpower before so im sure they know something
Thats my thought.....in 2 minutes with no research lol i think all the 4 nations will have a good future.
personally,i am chinese,of course i hope my motherland can get back her lost resplendence .
india is also a great state.
I think China(actually many of Asian Countiries)...They have great population and work power...So nobody can stop them.
For a country with one billion anything is possible and if its India it is still probable.
Strong Economy and good culture makes it unique in the whole world and certainly they will rule the world one day.
The only competetion is from china who have same strong points and larger area. But if we combine Pakistan India Nepal and Srilanka I think they can be a good answer to china.
At the moment i am a bit addicted to Russia, i'm learning russian, and i like to read things about it. But Brazil is awesome too. For favorite i think i would go for Brazil, cus they're so proud of their country, and that's cool.
I am going to start by ruleing out Russia. Why? Because there population groth is all ready going down. The rate that this is happening is very rapid. Another 50 years and Russia will be just about empty there fore they will have no world power.
People is Power
The same goes for China with their 1 child per parent. I think they will go pop some time down the track.
Long before they start to empty they will have massive problems with not enough workers to support the retired population.
This applies to the US and Europe as well to a lesser extent. And to Japan as well. This will mean that the world population in general will go down.
I have not seen anything about the population changes in India and Brazil so maybe they will be it, or maybe someone else unexpected.
Australia is sitting on something like 40% of the worlds Uraniun. If Nucular power take over coal that could make us very rich. I hope it dose because I think it would be better than coal. Did you know that if the US extracted Uraniun from coal ash they would get 800 tones of Uranium enough to power all there reactors with 300 tones left over. Coal ash is actuly a very conentrated source of Uraniun because most of the Coal gets burnt off as CO2.
And while talking about CO2 I am not so sure that Global Warming if it did happen would realy be much of a problem. The hotest part of the world is the tropics, which is also were most of the rain falls. So if the worlds gets hotter we will have more tropics with all that rain that comes with it.
So at any rate the next 100 years will be very interesting.

Absolutely China,China is a great Country with great progress.
In few years,she will become a BIG country in the world!India has a goot chance if the politicians become a bit more sensible. Currently all they are bothered about is pleasing the minority communities (read cruicial vote banks), at the cost of the nations development.
And, yes india needs to take some measures for population controll. They should start with extra tax for parents with more than 3 children. Currently in the rural areas every family has a football team of their own. 
India is still lagging behind in many regards. Mastering one area is not enough to ensure success, although it has clearly been a boost to their economy.
China is growing at an almost worrying degree. The potential impact upon the environment is profound. The fact that the government shuns such concerns is also worrying. I'm not 90% sure on it's stability either. The government seems to be rigidly communist, but the populace 90% capitalist.
Brazil on the other hand seems to have a better grasp of dealing with environmental concerns and seems to be the best equipped to survive an oil shortage comparatively unscathed. So in the long run Brazil may well be the nation that has the brighter future.
