India will Overtake China Past 100 yrs Indian population has increased roughly 5 folds from 200 million to 1.2 Billion. Next 100 yrs Indian population will be close to 5-6 Billion. India should not even think about 1 child policy like in China. With having 5-6 Billion people, typical Indian defense would roughly make up 1% of population, 5-6 million serving the army. Even this figure is staggering for an army of this size. India probably have to find another home for all the people. Maybe colonize the space, build a huge man made island in the Indian Ocean next to Sri Lanka or purchase the Western Part of Australia. Australian are xenophobic and will never sell the uninhabited Western Australia. Only large amount of lands that is still sparsely populated is Australia, Canada, Greenland and Eastern Russia. Eastern Russia is another story. Russia only took control of Siberia for 200yrs from China. China still considers Siberia is its land. Before China, Siberia belonged to Mongols. Even before Mongols, Siberia was allied to Persia. China and Russia would have lot of fun in Siberia in the future.
This is a really good information, but how do we know that this is true?Do you have a list of sources to prove your info?
Uh, what? India should definitely have a 1 child limit policy. The resources on Earth can't even sustain our current population if everyone had the per capita income required for a marginally decent quality of life.
The rate at which Indian population is growing is really very scary... It is high time, intellectuals forced our government to enact some sort of law to control the birth rate......especially since it is good for both mankind and our mother... EARTH. Regards, RightMan
Yep. The more people being born the more people the government will have to care for. If the Indian population stays the same, birth:death ratio at 1:1, as the economy improves, the quality of life will improve at a greater rate for every Indian.
China's slow down in the population explosion is mostly due to harsh living conditions killing 100k children every year, 1 child laws, and general poverty. If India's population gets to China's level, they will population control methods like China does. The living conditions will also further degrade, so that should help keep numbers at bay in some respects. Sounds cold and heartless, I know... but the world is already at twice it's sustainable population. another few billion will end up killing all of us, so I'm rather opposed to the idea to be honest.
The govt awareness programmes are doing good So we can expect the slow down of the population growth rate by 2050 !
Well, according to a study (now, don't ask me to quote sources and I can just recall this incident), it is estimated that the fatality rate would equal the birth rate on earth by the time the population of the planet reaches 11-12 billion. That is to say, the number of people being born would be same as those dying due to natural/forced deaths. The reason why I point this out is in order to highlight the fact that nature restores balance in some way or the other. So, if we, the humans, do not take actions, nature will act in its own way (as it has in the past in the form of Tsunamis and earthquakes)
Why I am against 1 Child Policy in India is because: 1) If India enact 1 Child Policy (it will never happen), everyone will have a boy. With large # of boys without girls, India will become unstable ripe for war. Vikings were what they were, because lack of suitable womens in their land. I see this in China 2) Rich, and Corrupt Government officers will abuse it. 3) Muslim will always cheat and have 5-10 kids. They are already doing this in India. Soon India will be Mulism country. Sorry, this is the reality and I am not picking on certain religion. 4) Currently India has about 600 Million farmers who are poor, they are the Indians who will be effected the most. Typical farmer have 7 kids. Because of these farmers, India still always be Hindu Majority and Secular Country. If industrial revolution destroys these farmers, soon we will have ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF INDIA. If in 100 yrs, Pakistan collapse economically, India will be infiltrated with Muslims from there and soon they will be asking for separate country. Not only that, Bangladesh will drown in Indian Ocean in 100 yrs. Where do you think all these Bangladeshi will go, Bengal. They are already entering illegally. Soon they will also ask for separate country. First, Muslims asked for East & West Pakistan, now they want Kashmir(Muslims kicked out all the 0.5 million Brahmans and once larger majority Hindu population out of Kashmir. Now they became majority in Kashmir), what next, Islamic Republic of India? Democracy to govern 5-6 Billion will eventually collapse. 100yrs, India will be have same level as the current world population. 100yrs time India will have a world on its own. 100yrs India will be very unstable with this size of population. It may become Yugoslavia. Only way for India to prevent Yugoslavia style disintegration is to nip the separatist/terrorist at the bud (Islamic, Punjab and in the South). In order to do this, India should have to have good laws and very very good ARMS.
if india will have 5 billion peeps, then imagine what the world will have ? where will the forests go ? where will the food grow ? where'll our kids live ?? damn man.. scary thought...
This is very easy brush it off as a dream. One day, this problem will come and hunt India. Anyway, this article, India Yugoslavia Problem, assumes India will turn into Yugoslavia from outside force rather than within. Not from outside India need to fear, but from within. Democracy worked so far in small scale in Greek(direct democracy) and present time, but scale of 5-6 Billion is unthinkable. Democracy is not the best solution, it's better than other form of government out there.
