Will Asia Rise?

07Mar10

In the video you can see Hans Rosling predicting when it’s going to happen.

My view of India, from my 9 month as an volunteer in Tamil Nadu, is partly contradicting to the one seen in the presentation above. I’m glad to get an more  positive picture of India presented to me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t see India in an negative way. Most of my time was in a rural aria giving another perspective or/and point of view. I think it is very interesting that Kerala (state in India) has longer life expectancy then Washington DC.

Looking at the development of the world today, the question is rather, when will Asia rise?
