The article analyzes the possibility of India becoming a global power. This vast, highly populated and strategically located country already has great potential - economic, military, political, cultural and scientific. While a lot has been written about „the elephant's" economic boom and its foreign affairs with other countries, the author was eager and devoted to present the current situation and the necessary developments which will enable India to achieve glo¬bal power status within the next four decades. The analysis of the potential of this country is made by studying its internal affairs. The author describes advantages and chances contributing positive¬ly to India's power aspirations, as well as obstacles and threats curbing development. She also provides characterization of India and its people, and analyzes specific features and phenomena of the nation and the state - both strengths and weaknesses relevant in the endeavor to gain power status. The main part of the paper outlines social, cultural, religious, political, economic and ecological problems facing that country. The conclusion states that India can become a global power - only if it effectively overcomes its internal challenges.
