Tables have started turning once again. Higher population growth, which used to be considered the curse till recently, is turning out to be an asset. Glancing at the following link is an eye opener;

Though its the per capita income which matters to the individuals, however still, the strength of a nation is its GDP. West has started realising that one needs younger population to support the growing population. All this is turning in favour of India, though purely by default and not by design.

So moral of the story is that the ultimate asset is the human power...

Thankyou rajendrji for it.
I think India may cross china in coming year.
Every country's development depends on youth population and it's performance. And all of you know that India is a world's largest youth country and they are performing well in every field, but in china oldie's population is growing due to one children strategy. So that is why their work capacity may reduce and India have good chance to cross china.
