India is growing
rapidly, be it in population, in economy, in number of vehicles or in
corruption. The recent provisional census data for the year 2011 show that we
are 1.21 billion people, nearly 17.5% of the global population, making every
sixth person in the world an Indian. We are only next to China in total
population, which is contributing 19.4% to the world population with 1.341
billion people. Our population has increased over five times in the last 110
years from 0.24 billion in 1901. About 181 million people have been added in
the last decade, with a decadal growth rate of 17.64% and annual growth of
1.64%, while China has a much lower decadal growth rate (5.43%) as well as
annual growth rate (053%). Even the global annual population growth rate
(1.23%) is much lower than that of India. Does this mean that are we adding
more people year after year?

Population growth the otherway to view is to consider it as an opportunity as is the case with China, the country formidable force in any context for its productivity of human resources.It is the quality of governance that decides the destiny of the people of a given country. There are no indians in India, the joke goes as a foreigner visiting India.
than you for your comments...
