NEW GENERATION

India's population rose to 1.21 billion people over the last 10 years -- an increase of 181 million, according to the new census released on Thursday. Significantly, the population growth is slower for the first time in nine decades.

India, which accounts for world's 17.5 per cent population, comprises 623.7 million males and 586.5 million females, said a provisional 2011 Census report.

China is the most populous nation, accounting for 19.4 per cent of the global population.

The country's headcount is almost equal to the combined population of the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Japan put together, it said.


(I have received a comment on my article on Indian cricket by a young reader whose view points are totally different from mine.Please read it . I think he is right to some extent.That's what i called ruined meaning there by they are most concerned about what they are and what they have achieved, but those numbers a very few if you see the total population of 120 crores/12 billion.The plus point of growth in India is population growth of minority community.Time will tell if these three things(cinema+cricket+Clatter) are really doing good to our new generation.)

Why do you think the young mass is ruined... if India has hope it is due to our young masses who now run big companies across the globe, made us a IT superpower, tend to fields and made us a dominant supplier of world's sugar, milk ... mining largest iron ore.. Building a formidable financial powerhouse... fighting the wars with the same courage as our seniors, putting us on the fore front of pharmacy R&D ... actually when we look.. it is the generation above us which faltered.. Who gave us the bureaucratic government, lazy babus in government.. We are going to make it better and we need some cricket to relax.. the fact that we watch so much cricket makes BCCI the most powerful body in cricket who can go and punch the Australian’s for trying to be too smart and the for that matter we can go and do anything we like.. And I am fine with it.. Being powerful is better than being equal when it comes to economy or sports
