What is the approximate percentage of persons above 65 years of age in India's current population?

1. The question asks for the approximate percentage of persons above 65 years of age in India's current population relative to 2008. 2. According to census data and projections around that period (e.g., Census 2001 and estimates for 2008), the proportion of the population aged 65 and above was relatively small but growing. 3. Figures from various sources for that timeframe typically place the 65+ population in the range of 5-6%. 4. Later data (e.g., Census 2011 showed 5.3% for 65+) confirms this range.
