"Young" MP?

The Hindu today carried a story on something Rahul Gandhi said, where he was referred to as a "young" MP. The dude is almost 40 years old. Is that young?

One could argue that since our politics is like an old age home, 39 something years is really young. But half our country's population is under 25 years of age. Shouldn't we be redefining what is young and what isn't in politics?

Well at the end of the day, this doesn't really matter. But look again at the title of this blog to see why I posted on this topic.
