[ALOCHONA] FW: Rising Literacy and a Shrinking Birth Rate

             I would like to remind readers of Amartya Sen's recent piece where he compared India with China, and then went on to give some telling figures where India fell behind Bangladesh in matters of rising female literacy and shrinking birth rate.

"SPIEGEL: Monsieur Todd, in the middle of the Cold War, in the days of Leonid Brezhnev, you predicted the collapse of the Soviet system. In 2002, you described the economic and imperial erosion of the United States, a global superpower. And, four years ago, you and your colleague Youssef Courbage predicted the unavoidable revolution in the Arab world. Are you clairvoyant?"
