GINAN -MENTION OF CHINA/INDIA BECOMING SUPER POWER?
GINAN -MENTION OF CHINA/INDIA BECOMING SUPER POWER?
Is there any ginan which has mention of India/China becoming super power one day?
There is a mention of Chenab Nagri as country of residence of Dayt Kalingo who will fight the ultimate war. Pir Shams has also named it "Chin ma Chin". This refers to China.
Ivanow who has however written that he had no knowledge of ginans and ginanic languages has written that it may be a refernce to the river Chenab in India.

Chib Nagri has an allegorical meaning which has been discussed in this forum under: Ginans --> Gurnathee Bhulaa Taasu Vaad na keejejee. You may want to go there.
In the Anant Akhado, Jampudeep which means Indian Sub Continent in Sanskrit, has been mentioned several times ( verses 1, 98, 192, 242, 284) as a place where the Kayam Swami (Lord of resurrection) will appear and indeed manifest himself as such. If one interpretes the verses literally, then that is a possibility. Anant Akhado also expresses the hope that all the holy men will meet there. There is offcourse an allegorical interpretation to make the verses meaningful at all times. For more on Anant Akhado you may want to reference it under the Ginans section.
In my opinion, India could indeed be the place since it offers an underlying theology which is much akin to these ideas. Also historically it has been a place where all the previous avataars incarnated. For more on this, you may want to read "A Hindu-Muslim synthesis" under:
Doctrines --> link between hinduism and ismalism
