My comment:
(a) 美国国家情报委员会 US National Intelligence Council (NIC)
(b) 欧盟安全研究所 European Union's Institute for Security Studies (EUISS)
(c) 实力 share of global power  
(d) 2025全球治理
Global Governance 2025: At a Critical Juncture. Sept. 20, 2010
(which is featured in NIC home page).

The BBC article is based on a bar chart (page number 11 at the bottom):

(i) Heading of the bar chart: NEW INTERNATIONAL LINEUP IN 2025?
(ii) y axis: Power as percentage of global power
x axis: US  China  EU  India  Japan  Russia  Brazil
(iii) caption: The relative political and economic clout of many countries
will shift by 2025, according to an International Futures model measuring
GDP, defense spending, population, and technology for individual states.
(iv) Source: International Futures model.

(e) The NIC/EUISS report deems India the third or fourth most powerful
nation, depending on whether to take EU as a bloc.
(f) Indians are numb, seeing the report on the wake of collapse of a foot
bridge in the lead-up to Commonwealth Games barely ten days away.
(g) Little wonder Indians murmur if they are being set up against China. See
