It might as well be. But the population growth that will propel India in the next 40 years or so will become it own downfall in the years after 2050! That is when the burden of the high population will start affecting the country with more old people roaming around. Here are some stats and figures from the BBC that are extremely insighful of the future of India.  In 2000, a minority of the population was over 60, but by 2050 retired people will form a significant part of society. This raises questions about how they will be supported, as fewer than 10% have pensions. More than 65% of people live in rural areas, but migration to the cities is accelerating.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/i43.photobucket.com\/albums\/e375\/deshkapoor\/Agegroupdist.gif"}
