India’s brain reserves 
Edward Hugh provides some extraordinary data on India’s brain reserves, via a Morgan Stanley report:

As per NASSCOM, the number of students being admitted for engineering studies in India will increase to 600,000 by 2004 compared with 455,000 in 2000. |
| |
Every year, India adds about 2.3 million English-speaking graduates (15 years education). This compares with around 1.2 million graduates every year in US. |

India’s population in the 15-64 age group will rise to 758 million and in the 25-59 age group to 501 million. The bulge will be in the age category of 15-24 years. This bracket will have 223 million people by 2010, up from the current 186 million. |
You do the math
I’ve been having an email exchange with the wonderful British Politics on electoral maths in the US presidential race. I can highly recommend Dave Leip’s Atlas of US Presidential Elections for any amateur psephologists.
