Our politicians are too scared to implement family planning because they will lose votes, but are not bothered about the average poor Indian lives that are getting worse by the day. In such a scenario the private sector should take the lead and have a blanket policy of jobs for single on those with one child. And not increments or bonus to those who beget more children. This will effectively curb at least urban population.

It is not the job of the politicians to control the population. People should become more responsible and limit the number of children to 1 or 2.

u r wrong. it is definitely the government's job. see the success of such policy in china. no one should have more than a child hence forth (except those, who get twins or higher number of children). that child should also b born after the average age of the couple is above 27 years.

in china it was the GOVT strict policy which made citizen control their populations hence in India too its the GOVT strict control can make people realise the danger of over population. Religion, whichever, shdnt be allowed to come in the way of controlling the population as NATION'S PROSPERITY IS ABOVE ANY RELIGION.

India is a democracy. China is not a champion of freedoms. Tomorrow, the Govt will say you can only marry this man or woman. Another day, it will say you can live only in this city, and not the city of your choice. Where do you want to draw the line? THERE IS NO SUBSTITUE FOR INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.

By the way, China is facing the problem of distorted male to female ratio, and will soon have more aged people to support than youngsters. Artificial control of population will cause more problems than it solves. Education and individual responsibility are the only viable options.

yes, there is less freedom in china. but it is good as far as population is concerned. no one should b free to have as many children as one wishes. male to female ratio is there even in our country. it is acute in some developed states like punjab. the pther problem, that of more aged people in china, this problem is there in japan also. this is a temporary problem. these r not as big a problem as over population.
