The above link gives us an idea of ‘Decadal growth rate by religious communities’. Just check it out. Without any prejudice, it is quite obvious that very soon India will probably become another ME/ North Africa or Indonesia.
Educating the masses is the only way out. One child or two children per family should be applicable to all religious communities !!!!!
Uh! Oh! I can see the "Liberals"priming their weapons on this one. Better duck for cover despremi :P

Hi,
With 140 Crores people after 25 years you can imagine the situation. The economy will grow, but the Quality of life will keep deteriorating.

Well, its all depends on with what pace the economy is growing with respect to population. If that is the case then no developing country can become developed country.
Cheers,

A person is never more on trial than in a moment of excessive good fortune.
Two-three years ago I read World Bank’s annual report, accidentally . According to which the largest cities will be in Asia and South America. They will be Shanghais, Mumbai, Calcutta and some in South America (Brazil). They will also have slums in their worst possible forms. We can imagine very well by looking at the current slums in Indian cities though slums are created in India by land mafia supported by ruling party of that period.
I have forgotten the name of the city in South America where the street children often measure their growth with a pole, got protruded from beneath. This pole was originally an underground pipe of a tube well, came out of the ground due to the depletion of underground water and sinking of the ground. That city has finished all the ground water.
I have grown in rural India, walked in my village barefooted for first 14 years of my life. Learnt swimming ,in the rivers, lakes and canals. Enjoyed fishing, watched the Siberian birds visiting our villages down south in India, vultures scavenging the dead animals. Half the biology learnt thru the nature. Last year, I learnt that all these species are either dead or at the brink of extinction, lakes have disappeared, rivers stopped reaching the sea. Official maps have become history books .
Can somebody assess the value of this lake which once offered a winter asylum for the Siberian birds and the river which has stopped reaching the sea?
If we calculate the value of these assets and add to the cost of the production, India is not competitive. We manufacture goods at the expense of future generations. We often read in news about the coloured underground water in Ahmedabad and or Hyderabad due to the manufacturing industries (dyes) which supply their dyes to big names in Europe who repack and sell to the world with their brand names. (More than one Indian business men have told this to me while offering this stuff)
In our list, if we carefully observe, we have many products that are no longer interested to manufacture by the developed world.
We have many, in India really walking upside down because of fluorine content in water. There are some villages where at least one in a family is affected.
Tamilnadu and Andhra ( for Krishna waters) , Andhra and Karnataka( Krishna waters), Tamilnadu and Karnataka( for Kaveri), Maharastra , Andhra and Karnataka( for Godavari) are now fighting for their share of water. These states will be in full-fledged war by another 20 years.
I agree with PMA and Canada-calling. I am one of them interested to know about the quality and per capita income of the UPSIDE DOWN WORLD.
