Well, they publish many reports. Its not accepted wisdom worldwide, that India is 3rd most powerful. What I meant a quick google search will reveal most of the media reports originate from India.

How about a permanent seat at the security council?

Indian media will never satisfy with 3rd position...they will better wait.

sometime inferiority complex/ rage/jealousy/self hatred make people blind

There is big difference in being optimistic and being jingoistic. We celebrate too much for something too little that we achieve too late in the game and are convinced we will be a super Power sooner than latter. That I think is not very strategic nor intelligent on our part nor the Indian Govt. Indian Govt is to be blamed for this as they tend to sway peoples' concentration from bad governance to Super Power ambitions to make themselves look good. Super Power ambitions should be guided by visions. What has been India's vison? Up to now it has not been revealed. I would like to believe it is a secret they dont want to share with the world at this time. If that's true, then ambitions to be a super power should also not be revealed nor discussed even if other countries are pointing to it.
In my opinion the only time we should know we are headed to be a super power is when a country warns the world about India's ambitions and not praise it. Upto now, the only countries that want to call/praise India a super power are those that have and want more trade with a booming economy that is India. I dont know if that will translate into these countries not selling weapons to Pak, not trading with China which I think would be India's first step towards Super Power Status. Untill then let us and our govts be very humble in our achievements and celebrate less and less loudly and strategically.
