India's single most stunning achievement during the last century is longevity. While it took France 120 years for the population of the elderly to double, it took India just 25 years. This population shot up from 12 million in 1901, to 19 million in 1951 and 77 million in 2001. It is anticipated that by 2021 it will reach 137 million.
