India’s growing population balance and imbalance

World Population Day on 11 July was an opportunity to revisit the population debate in India. India is all set to overtake China as the world’s most populous country next year. Its position as the most populous country on the planet could be strengthened India claims to be a member of the United Nations Security CouncilAccording to a United Nations official. This calculation puts India’s milestone ahead of China by three years – it was previously expected in 2027, India’s rapid march to become the most populous country on the planet, a position it would retain through the century, would have many other known and unintentional consequences, in addition to its impact on the country’s bid for a permanent seat at the UNSC. except.

Whether India should manage or control its population growth remains a contentious question as ever. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said Population control should not lead to demographic imbalance between religions.

Clearly, the chief minister is alluding to a familiar trope of Hindutva politics for over a century, the notion that one day Hindus will be taken over by Muslims. Yes, it is true that the fertility rate of Muslims is slightly higher than others, but the fact is that Fertility rates declining in all religious groupsAnd this trend is sharpest among Muslims.

Calling Hindus to have more children Comes from various forums associated with the Sangh Parivar.

India’s population will peak by the middle of the century, and may decline after 2050, How fast this decline will be is a matter of debate. There is an argument that by the end of the century, India will have half its population. But there is no debate that fertility is declining, and will continue to decline.

Talking about population growth in India as if it is uniform across the country is misleading. Regional variations in demographic patterns in India are enormous, and they can create extremely unstable politics. The kind of imbalance, religious inequality that Mr Adityanath talks about, is much less significant than the regional disparities. States such as Kerala and Tamil Nadu have already reached their peak, and their population will age further; States like Karnataka will be there soon; And states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar will continue to grow for many decades. The workforce for India’s economy will come from these states that have not yet reached their potential demographic sweet spot. but these Imbalance in demographic trajectory is a source of conflict And the struggle too.

In the midst of such serious questions, a BJP minister from Nagaland has a simple yet radical suggestion to keep population growth under control. Temjen Imna Along, who belongs to BJP Advised people to be single like him!

Talking about the movement of people, Kerala is a state which is a Major source and destination of migrants, immediately. It was in Kerala where the first case of COVID-19 was detected in January 2020 after a student studying in Wuhan, China, returned home. This week, First case of monkeypox in the country It was reported in Kerala, after a migrant from the state returned from the United Arab Emirates.

What does I2U2 say about the emerging world order?

The group of countries making the news are India, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and the US or I2U2, as its rather cryptic yet meaningful acronym. They have said many things about what it is; A US official compared it to a quad . also from, What he didn’t say is also worth noting. Barring the US, three countries – India, the United Arab Emirates and Israel – maintain close contacts with Russia, which is the US’s main adversary at the moment. Barring India, the other two, the United Arab Emirates and Israel, have excellent relations with China as well. UAE is not a democracy whereas Israel, India and the US are. All of these suggest that the notion that a new division among nations would pit democracy against the rest is difficult to substantiate. In fact, I2U2 is an American acknowledgment on a level that separating Russia or China is no easy game.
