"While China’s population was 1.5 times larger than India’s in 1975, even the Chinese government’s exaggerated official figures show that it was smaller last year (1.411 billion compared to 1.417 billion)."
"In reality, India’s population surpassed China’s a decade ago, and it remains on track to be nearly 1.5 times larger than China’s in 2050, with a median age of 39 – a full generation younger than China’s (57)."
"By 2030, China’s median age will already be 5.5 years above that of the US, and by 2033, its old-age dependency ratio will begin to exceed America’s. Its GDP growth rate will begin to fall below America’s in 2031-35, at which point its per capita GDP will hardly have
reached 30% of its rival’s – let alone the 50-75% predicted by Chinese official economists. If the US is overtaken as the world’s largest economy, it will be by India, not China.
"China is investing heavily in artificial intelligence & robotics to offset economic drag of aging. But these efforts can go only so far,because continuing innovation relies on young minds. Moreover,robot workers do not consume & consumption is the major driver of any economy"

#WhatDidYouzExpect

Remember this Anand?

India's top court on Monday dismissed a petition seeking the omission of 26 verses from the Muslim holy book of the Quran.

aa.com.tr/en/asia-pacifi….
"Rizvi, the former chairman of the Shia Central Board of Waqf (Trust) in the state, filed the petition with the apex court last month claiming that parts of the Quran are "provocative of violence" and incite people to "jihad," which he interpreted as armed struggle."
“It is an absolutely frivolous petition,” said the court bench headed by Justice Rohinton F Nariman, according to local English daily Hindustan Times."

#MisinformAndRule
In Guha's view:

* There are no such people known as Pasmanda (Those left behind)native Indian Muslims who constitute 85% majority OR Ashraf Muslims who claim Arbi/Irani/Turkic ancestry who constitute just 15%,but oppress & dominate the Pasmanda till this day.
* So the residual "Hinduness" of the Pasmanda which kept the so-called Ganga-Jamuna Tehzeeb flowing, was just the celebration of common cultural bonds of Hindus,and those among them, converted to Islam.
e.g. President Kalam/Ustad Bismillah Khan/Mohammad Rafi were all Pasmanda.
* THIS, the Distorian will not admit. Nor the fact that the Ashrafs till today monopolise the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Wakfs, Governing Boards of Aligarh Muslim University/Jamia Milia etc.

* The Distorian will not accept that it is movements like the

"A poll released by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) on 22 February has revealed a growing chasm between western nations and the population of the Global South concerning the ongoing Russia Ukraine War" thecradle.co/article-view/2…
"While most US, UK, and EU respondents said the war must be fueled until Ukraine “regains all its territory,” citizens in China, India, and Turkiye disagreed, saying they prefer a quick end to the war even if Ukraine has to concede territory."
"Moreover, while the vast majority of those surveyed in the west described Russia as a “rival” or an active “adversary,” a large portion of Turkish, Chinese, and Indian citizens recognize Moscow as an “ally” or “necessary partner.”

#SeattlePlaysCadteCard
Kshama Sawant, an upper-caste Hindu has got a resolution passed by the Seattle City Council outlawing caste discrimination.
"Seattle has taken a dangerous misstep here, institutionalising bias against all residents of Indian and South Asian origin, all in the name of preventing bias,” said HAF managing director Samir Kalra."
"“When Seattle should be protecting the civil rights of all its residents, it is actually violating them by running roughshod over the most basic and fundamental rights in US law, all people being treated equally,” Mr Kalra said."
