India and China connect the world!!!
There is a theory called the "Six degrees of separation". According to this any person in the whole world is separated by any other person in the world by an average of six people.
For e.g : I know my friend Ashish with zero degree of separation. He knows his mother. So, the degree of separation between me and his mother is one. As I know Ashish who knows his mother. Similaretly if you are reading this and you know Ashish and do not know me the degree of separation between you and me is again one.
Let's get back to statistics (a very powerful tool but should be used carefully). We know that every 5th person in the world is a Chinese and every 6th person is an Indian. So, according to the theory "INDIAN AND CHINA CONNECT THE WORLD".
