The India story is still good, largely due to the demographic dividend, with a young, well educated population who are free to pursue dreams. At a recent analyst meet of NIIT it was pointed out that India will have an addition of some 47 m. educated people in the 19-25 age group. The rest of the world (including China) will have a reduction of some 53 m. in this age group.

Data released this week show that China is still flying in the face the global economic slowdown. Retail sales there soared 21.6% year on year in May, despite a devastating earthquake and stock market slump. Exports for the same month surged 28.1%, even as demand in major western markets faltered.
