Swaminomics, Lalu, Population, and Demographic Dividend

Lalu seems to be having a field day today. Yet another post on Lalu by Swaminathan Anklesaria Aiyar in TOI of 24/09/2006. Here it is: Lalu Yadav's demographic dividend

All in all a good analysis of population, demographics, and the repercussions on economy. But I am wondering where was the need to bring in this analysis the fact that Lalu fathered 9 children.

Why the media gets so obsessed with unconnected facts? I am bewildered. What about the junta?

Yeah, really funny how laloo crops up everywhere.These guys need to earn bread and butter.If they talk crap, at least the butter makes the swollowing part easy.
Spare a thought for the lady who mothered nine kids, groomed them then became the CEO of her state.No one comes even close.I suspect its the worlds first:)

Nice work.Its good.

I am not sure why only laloo is being critisized for having 9 kids. Why people forget that our Ex PM P V Narasimha Rao also have 7 childrens. Sometimes I feel like laughing when people relate to a single guy from bihar saying "So you will be marrying Lallu's daughter".

Going back to the article in TOI not sure what is that the author is trying to prove. Why he forgets that India today has the largest workforce in the world which is under 25 yrs of age. This is one of the advantage India has over the western world.

Keep up the good work guys :)
