Reduce population
by Venkata Ramana on Aug 02, 2008 11:48 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

We don't need more energy, we need less population.

The need of the hour is to reduce population.

Population is an asset, only if everyone is REALLY productive.

90% of Indians are useless, so population is our greatest weakness.

Reduce population from 110 crores to 10 crores.

If every family produces only one child, the population will become half in 30 years, because two parents will be replaced by one child.

Yr concern for high population is correct. We hv only 2.4% of world's land, but already hv 16% of its population.

But u r wrong in assuming that one child norm will reduce it, as two parents will hv one child. This is so, bcz population also depends on the average age of parents, when the child is born and longevity of parents. Average age of people at the time of death is increasing due to improvement in medical area. For example, China is following one child norm since 1979, but its population is still increasing @ 0.6%, compared to 1.6% of ours.

Population and corruption are side issues. The main problem is supply/demand. If there is not enough supply for the demand, corruption will find it's way. If on the other hand, there is a surplus everyone is happy and there is no need for corruption. Population is the not the problem but keeping the population fed/clothed/sheltered and progressing is. MMS is taking one step at a time - making India an energy surplus country.

You are mistaken, my dear friend. You say 90 % Indians are useless. Are you one of them ? No, then you have no right to say that for others. Our population is our strength. You say reduce population from 110 crores to 10 crores. Your thoughts need some rethinking on your part. Our biggest problem is CORRUPTION. Eradicate corruption to extent of 100% and most of our problems will be resolved and India will be a super power with 110 crores population.

Ramesh. High population is definitely a big problem. Corruption cannot b reduced so easily, with corrupt, selfish and greedy leaders like Sonia, MMS, Lalu, Mulayam, Sibu Soren etc leading us.

One child norm will not reduce population, it will only reduce rate of increase of population.

I agree with Rameshji. Ofcourse the populaion is increasing, but the people whose population is increasing are the poor,uneducated people, who still think more kids more earnings. We need to really work on them to change their attitudes. Otherwise people who really think n are educated stop with 1 kid, which is more of a need than being logical! mian urge is for Eradicating corruption.Well it can b ONLY common man, who can chane the situations, dont u think...coz we all ''Commons'' make 1 COUNTRY!

to hope for reduction in coruption in india is not smart as long as its govt remains huge. to hope for population reduction is also not smart as long as pro-islam congress is ruling the country. thus, the gandi party is responsible for both high corruption and high population. but i have a feeling both high corruption and high population will be the reasons for congressi electoral victory again. you can go in circles on this two issues all day long as long as gandi party rules the roost.

@ Venkat
You exactly right. Population growth in India must be controlled soon! Mother India can not sustain with billions of people.

Yes you are right. But what is the cause behind this large population? Dont't you think we are lacking to provide the good education to all levels of society. look at the world the countries where each persoan is getting good education are ahead or they have less problems...at least they can think about the problem...in india many people dont know that whatever they are doing is a problem...
Provide good education your half of the probelms will get solved.
