The Population Problem

India will soon replace China as the most populous country. How concerning is that?

The world's population has grown to eight billion. Indians, since we are so many, have to jostle for resources and opportunities, and have come to fear the growing population as a disastrous thing. We blame all our problems on population growth, not the incompetence, greed, corruption and lack of professionalism in our systems. We are used to thinking about the population in a way that is now outdated.
