Hear it from the mouth of the ones who have been 'graced by the miracle'; - life continues as before. Where are the ones to multiply their bread? How come there are no interviews with these people and highlighting of their oppression? Could it be because the oppressor here is the Church?
Of course - the real problem is that people are still subject to the 'horrors of the caste system' even after being converted. That is the Hindu's fault too. The Lord fails in India because of these 'Satanic' people!!!

here is something we all suspected :

“China is the fastest ageing nation in the world after Germany, Japan and South Korea. We usually view China as a sleeping giant. I on the other hand see China as a source from where the Western nations will skim the best. And they will get them. Currently, rich Chinese are preoccupied with moving their riches to Switzerland because with the few children being born in China, people in their 40s have no chance of ever getting a pension. China is down to a fertility rate of 1.6 children per woman. The country is already losing 500 000 of its best every year. The young see no hope of ever being able to build a pension plan in their home country. Therefore they settle in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada etc.”
i liked this stuff where someone is calling the economist's bluff:
Indian economy overheating? Bah!
Several international and domestic economists, policymakers, and journalists, and including prominently The Economist, offer one explanation after another to justify their predetermined, ideological (?) and/or confused conclusion that the Indian economy is overheating, and/or that the rupee is mismanaged (read that it should be allowed to appreciate).

Excellent link - I will try to post this out on the main blog soon with a couple of other demographic pieces I am researching.
A few things to notice here
1- The basic failure in Europe starts not with population and demographics, but is cultural. They want a political state to take care of people's pensions rather than families and communities looking out for each other
2- Contrast this to the family-centric model in India where kids will generally continue to care for parents (under pressure now thanks to a consumer economy)
3- Even for the father fell off a scaffolding problem; I do believe that a non-entitlements based family/community system such as the caste (The Horror!The Horror!) is better than a mandatory state system where people feel that they are compelled to support people on welfare, even if they do not want to
4- Even with the obvious success of Indians (specifically British and US Hindus) to be culturally assimilated and scientifically inventive; this European commentator can only think of 'skimming' from the Chinese. Good luck to him. Who wants to go to Europe anyway?
5- This analysis is useful to demonstrate to the likes of Lou Dobbs why H1-B recipients are better for America than uneducated Latino voters. Alas - these economic nationalists can only see that software programmers wages in America are falling!
Exactly. It should not be forgotten that it was Europe which came with the concepts of communism. Communism failed because while subjects expected everything from the state, they did not put in their fare share of labour, and lack of personal enthusiasm hollowed the economy to the point of ruin.
Similarly, modern Europe faces a situation where all people expect financial support from state. Such a model is surviving till now because governments do not directly control the production and all of the economy. This is leading to a situation where tax burden is high on the productive segment of population. The more the state is into welfare, the worse is the tax rip-off on its people. It is creeping communism, with all the personal freedom...but with accompanied economic misery.
I firmly believe, that increasing muslim population of Europe is a death knell for the Europe. The long dark night is about to begin for the ageing (sub)continent.
