Real problem is population & not the deal
by Ram Sharma on Jul 12, 2008 10:14 AM

Real problem of the country is high population and its high growth. The population is growing in the world, China & India @ 1.2, 0.6 & 1.6% respectively. China has been able to control its growth with one child norm since 1979. But our govt foolishly is not promoting family planning at all. We should also hv one child norm.

The population is increasing mainly in poor families of Hindi belt and specially in poor families of Muslims, which needs special attention.

Family planning is not anti Islam, as Iran is also forcefully following it after Khomeny's era.

We hv only 2.4% of world land but 16% of its population and still increasing, though natural resources r limited, giving rise to prices, scarcity, traffic jam, air and water pollution, deforesting, dropping in sub soil water table (resulting in collapsing of top earth in some places) etc. Still the govt is not serious in this regard. UN is also worried due to populaion growth, as world population has increased from 79 cr in 1800 to 670 cr now.

Congress is hurrying for the n deal to divert peoples' attention from burning problems like galloping inflation.
