In an exclusive interview to NDTV's Sonia Singh, former Singaporean diplomat Professor Kishore Mahbubani says, "A 100 years ago in 1924, 100,000 Englishmen could rule over 300,000,000 of our ancestors. I find that quite amazing. How is that possible? The West was just so incredibly powerful but the world has come full circle now. The West now represents 12% of the world's population. The rest make up 88%."
