This Thursday India launched a nuclear missile that has the capability to reach the cities of Beijing and Shanghai which are located is China. India is saying that this is the first step to being not only a regional power but also a world power.
Agni-V is what the nuke was named. It has a range of 5,000 kilometers which is equal to 3,100 miles. This missile has to complete several test before it gets placed in Indias arsenal and that wont be until a few years. Officials stated, this launch is proof that India has taken a place beside the world's most advansed powers.
Even though this may not pretain to us, the United States specifically, it may in the future.
