Population growth and consumerim r the real problems of the country. Degrading status from OBC to ST is not a solution. Even reservation is not a solution. More population means less to share causing more problems.
The population of undivided India was 33 crores in 1947. Now only India's population is 105 crores. World population in 1900, 1950 and now is 0.6, 2.5 & 6.25 billion respectively. The land is same and all other natural resources r getting reduced. The population growth has meant polluted water and air, depleted sub soil water level, depleted forest land and extintion of many plant and animals. The prices of essential commodities have increased.
Population is increasing more in some states than others, also many Muslims do not adopt family planning. Govt also no longer encourages family planning for reasons best known to them.
The only solution is forcefully applying one child norm on the lines of China, who started it in 1979. Had China not adopted this policy, there would have been crores of more people on the earth by now.
Population of developed nations has stabilized. It is time the same thing happens in other countries.
Consumerism gives rise to pollution by increasing per capita energy consumption. Rich people all over the world r mostly responsible for this. Except fresh air, pure water, house and cloth, all other requirements r artificial.
