A developed nation would have more aged population than the youth. As India is an underdeveloped country, it has more youth. Also, as the Congress ruled India for most of the time during 60 years of independence, it should be blamed for under-development of India. In 58 years China has improved so much (starting from a backward point of India), that Indians would dream of achieving that in next 50 years, if at all.
I have 100 percent doubt about the sincerity of Rahul's stmt that he wants to be a tribal culture expert. That is a simple bluff. If he could assimilate Indian culture, instead of Italian culture - that would be more than enough.
