India as a world power. Could it happen?

According to this video, India needs to modernize its Navy, deal with its internal conflicts (such as a communist insurgency funded by China), and try to forge alliances with neighbors such as Bangladesh to prevent a rivalry with China. The video mentioned an alliance with Pakistan could help, but that's not happening anytime soon due to the Kashmir region (which India has rights to). But you guys should watch the rest of the video, it explains it better than me. Anyways, I think America can take advantage of this and prevent China from gaining any more influence over the subcontinent. If the US Air Force and US Navy started to have joint bases with the Indian Navy and Air Force, that could strengthen Indian-American relations by making India more secure and lessen China's influence over the Indian Ocean by having the US Navy help protect trade routes in the Indian Ocean and prevent the Chinese Navy from having control of the Indian Ocean. This could help contain china and prevent them from becoming a superpower. Also, if the DoD isn't doing it right now, they need to shift their focus towards the Pacific to try and contain China to prevent them from becoming a superpower. Any thoughts?

  • Alliance with Pakistan? Better luck in getting an alliance between Iran and the U.S. India should focus on their domestic issues before trying to become such an important power.
