> Indian people I have talked to are enthusiastic about the prospect of edging out China in terms of future economy, and population size is seen as the primary means of achieving that.

Huh? The problem with that statement is the sample size. Even if you talked to every Indian person you know (presumably anywhere between 100 and 10000), it will be less than 0.001% of the total population of India.

Edit: Grammer.

Yes, it's anecdotal, that's why I had prefaced the entire paragraph with a huge disclaimer. But I see how complementing a string of google-able facts with some personal impressions and experiences might be perceived as gratuitous, and that's why I removed it now.

Good, now edit your spelling too!
