Growing population is burden for India. It requires food, medical, infrastructure which Govt is unable to provide at the rate of population is growing. It is burden for us.
I disagree with Mr. Nilekani that Gigantic human capital is assets. It may be beneficial to businessman like Mr. Nilekani.
In the past, country with very less population rules the world in past.
Today the growing business is reason for inflation and many problems that does not effect well to do people like Mr. Nilekani.

India was famous for its intelligent work force and was becoming a threat to the world. Could the World Super Powers accept India as a super power ... no-no.
Then what do they do? They fund the politicians and the results is for all to see.
Step 1: - Blunt IIT and IIM. =>Increase the students, thus you have now 250 students per class. =>Increase quota systems, thus the quality of students and competition amongst its students would drop by itself.
Step 2: - Make it the world's back-office. => Flood India's job market with KPO's and BPO's, thus India's youth is busy living like yuppies doing night shifts. They will also fast realise that they work like slaves and would get use to that life. =>Mistreat the youth on International calls, thus they will have low self esteem and will feel low in Westerner's company. Thus Super powers would make themselves superior by default.
Step 3 - Hit India's financial capital Mumbai through regional parties => Regional parties are already ensuring that outsiders are mistreated. Thus force good people out. => Push jobs for marathi instead of Merit. If the political parties really cared, they would be teaching Marathi to be intelligent and well educated, rather than showing the world that Marathi youth are not capable of getting jobs on merit. This might force good companies to look outside Mumbai.
All aggressive or stupid replies to me are from Indians with low self esteem. Will not do anything in public, but will bark if somebody shows
