Hans Rosling speaking at TED on “Asia’s rise — how and when” humbly accepted that Indian students were better in the world. He says “Once upon a time, at the age of 24, I was a student at St. John’s Medical College in Bangalore. I was a guest student during one month of a public health course. And that changed my mindset forever.<\/p>\n
The course was good, but it was not the course content in itself that changed the mindset. It was the brutal realization, the first morning, that the Indian students were better than me.”<\/p>\n
Hans Rosling was a young guest student in India when he first realized that Asia had all the capacities to reclaim its place as the world’s dominant economic force.<\/p>\n
At TEDIndia, he graphs global economic growth since 1858 and predicts the exact date that India and China will outstrip the US.<\/p>\n
