India's global relevance is limited due to its focus on social welfare and lack of economic and military muscle. The country's spending priorities have led to it being overshadowed by other global powers, including the US, EU, and China.
India has been spending around a quarter of its annual budget on welfare, yielding social and political returns but not economic or military returns. This has led to a lack of global relevance, with the country being overshadowed by other powers. India's GDP is less than $5 trillion, compared to the US, EU, and China, which have GDPs of $30 trillion, $22 trillion, and $20 trillion respectively. The country's focus on social equity and decency has come at the cost of military and economic muscle. India's market size is also relatively small, with only 100-120 million people. The country's global irrelevance is a result of its choices, including its adoption of a soft state approach to governance in 1950.
