Abstract
This study evaluates and compares the super powers of the world, India (12th), Germany (4th), United Kingdom (5th), Japan (6th), Saudi Arabia (7th), Israel (8th) and Iran (9th) using the Forbes/US News methodology, which integrates leadership, economic influence, political clout, international alliances, and military strength. Supplementary data sources include GDP and demographics, military expenditure, diplomacy, soft power indices and innovation rankings. The United Kingdom ranks highest overall, driven by strong alliances, diplomatic networks, and cultural influence. Japan leads in innovation and technological capacity, balancing economic strength with pacifist defence policies. Saudi Arabia exerts regional dominance through military spending and oil-based geopolitical leverage. Israel stands out in cyber security, intelligence, and innovation despite its small size. India demonstrates strong economic and military growth but lags in diplomatic alliances and global soft power.
The findings highlight differentiated national strengths - alliances, soft power, and diplomacy for the UK; innovation and technology for Japan and Israel; military strength and energy dominance for Saudi Arabia; and economic potential for India. The study suggests that India could improve its global influence ranking by 2030 through strategic investments in diplomacy, soft power, and international collaboration. Enhanced global engagement and narrative building will be critical for India’s future geopolitical trajectory.
