India is expected to surpass China to become the world's most populous nation by 2022, this is as per the Report of World Populations Prospects:2015 released by the United Nations recently. And this is indeed a very alarming thing. The latest figures have advanced the previous projections by about 18 year, if I am not wrong. This should ring a bell at the ears of all policy makers. But sadly, it may not - growing population also means increasing political constituencies, increasing Markets, increasing "Demographic Dividends" , and increasing Profits for the 10% Indians who control 75-80% of the economy. It has to be the common man,afterall who has to take the lead in this regard and initiate steps to save this nation from the impending doom of population explosion.
The following two articles published in this regard, have higlighted this aspect quite precisely.
