This was told to me by Souvik Chakraverti, a well known economist ( who was with CCS, a think-tank in New Delhi). Souvik is considered a maverick econimist despite or rather because of his credentials - an LSE grad and a former civil servant.
Souvik : Do you know that the average life expectancy in India is about 65 years for a male ?
Me : Yes. I know that
Souvik : And did you know that the average age of our politicians in the cabinet is 70 yrs ?
Me : Nope, didnt know that .
Souvik : Doesnt that mean that all our politicans are technically dead ???
