Obviously, India, as the biggest democracy and vigorous economy, deserves more a seat of G8 than Russia.

G8 has the 8 biggest economies in the world,including European Union(they are represented as a whole),currently India is the 9th biggest(nominal) according to CIA World factbook.We are in the G8+5 countries...
So maybe when we become one of the top 8 economies...

G-8 is over-rated

G-20 is the forum which will be more appropiate for most global financial and economic decisions.

Other than that, its the UNSC Permanant seat that India deserves to be on.

Most recently on August 28, 2007, former French president Nicolas Sarkozy in a foreign policy statement proposed that Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa should become members of G8: "The G8 can't meet for two days and the G13 for just two hours.... That doesn't seem fitting, given the power of these five emerging countries." Nevertheless, as of 2008, a formal enlargement of the G8 is not a realistic political option, since the G8 member states have diverging positions on this issue. The US and Japan have been against enlargement, the United Kingdom and France actively in favour, and Italy, Germany, Russia and Canada are reserved on the issue.[citation needed].

India should be invited to a whole lot of organisations such as these.

a) G8
b) UNSC
c) NSG

With the new world order, without India and few other countries being a part of it, it does not make sense.

India has better economy and good communication skill, India should replace Russia, and India bhai should help China get one seat (may be italy or UK can be replaced) after India join G8 just like India help China get UNSC.

G, What a Waste - Conrad Black - National Review Online
The spectacle of the G-8 leaders in the bucolic verdure of Camp David, as they were strutting in their leisure attire capped by prudent sweaters against any non-fiscal Catoctin chill for photo-ops for those at home, could momentarily disguise what an appalling mess all the G-8 countries except Germany and Canada have made of the art of government. Not all the leaders who attended are equally blameworthy, of course. The French and Japanese leaders are new. Some — Mario Monti (of Italy) and David Cameron (of the U.K.) — have lightly ameliorated the desperate conditions they inherited; and some — Angela Merkel (of Germany), and Stephen Harper (of Canada) — inherited advantageous conditions and have steadfastly reinforced them, have been reelected and probably will be again. As a group, they are an interesting kaleidoscope of leaders of great nations toiling for their own political well-being and for the welfare of their 900 million people, in eight of the twelve largest national economies (Brazil, China, India, and Spain are missing, and would bring the population represented to over 3.5 billion — a majority of the world). They are like a cutaway drawing of Santa's workshop, with each elf banging away in some purposeful task, yet conveying a slightly comical, portentous busyness.

actually we are the 11th largest economy thanks to the rupee free fall and our great government which failed to implement any economic reforms for years, but in the long term we should belong to the G8, although its quite overrated. G 20 is much mire usefull in solving global issues.

Does anyone else sees sarcasm in this post?

i agree. it looks to be a teaser.

India instead of trying to go out of the way to being recogonised by the big brothers
i think we should be more focused on our internal challenges.

the big powers will come to us as we rise and shine.

i agree with yusuf-bhai who earlier wrote baout the sarcasm - the initial post is a 3 liner based on sarcasm and a trap to see how many can be deceived into responding - we've already discussed this topic in a better way in aother threads - this thread is a dummy and can be closed or better still, deleted - it is an embarrasment to the forum and yet another expample of what some mebers are set out to do ..
