You do have some points which are very similar to what we used to see publicity by Western media during Commonwealth games. and I can share my local experience in India with whatever I have been reading in economic news etc. and as Pakistan is the country where 98% population are Muslim, Hindus/ Sikhs are almost none there as most of them have been converted to Islam since 1947, and whoever Pakistani Christian I met in Australia, they also keep Muslim name in place of having an English name. Therefore, I would like to request our honourable members of this forum not to get angry if I say something about poverty of India which also has religious factor also.
What I said before, even till the time of 1991, per capita income of India was above to that of China on PPP and since then India registered growth rate of around 7% but China had above 10% growth rate. And by growth of 7%, Indian economy would be around 4 times in 2011 to 1991 level. But by 10% growth, Chinese GDP would be 8 times till 2011 to its level of 1991. And also, population of India was around 950mil in 1991 which was increased by 1.4% growth rate to 1.2billion in 2011 while due to one child policy of China, population of China reduced from 1.35billion in 1991 to around 1.31 billion in 2011. So GDP per capita on PPP of India was around $3,500 in 2010 while that of China was around $7,700 that year, around 2.2 times to Indian per capita GDP on PPP. Then why can’t India reduce it’s population and have more investments on infrastructure in India to catch up with CHina?

I would now share my local experience in India in between 1990 to 2002, during the time I lived there. As we may discuss every key issue on forum so I would dare to say that it has been policy of only Muslim community of India to have 8 to 10 kids and the time they become just 6-7 year old, they are sent to tea shops/ small shops etc to work and earn money for their parents. If I dare to say, then only muslim community of India was behind rapid growth of population during last over 30 years as more the kids they have, more their parents may put them on small shops and earn through them. Also their religious leaders mainly worry to increase muslim population of India to gain political advantage in local politics. And,
everyone of Indian media knows that only “Minority Politics”, with concern of Muslim votes only, was always the reason why democratic India couldn’t take any proper action to reduce Indian population, similar to one child policy of China.
(my father was a class one officer and when he was posted in Fatehpur district of UP in early 90s, I even saw that poor people living in Muslim colonies were being continuously watched whether they are adopting family planning by different muslim organisation, to make sure every family living in poor muslim colonies would have over 8 to 10 kids.) it may be the reason why population ratio of Muslims in India was around 8% in 1947 which is now increased to around 18% in 2011, while population ratio of Hindus was 87% to total Indian population in 1947 which has reduced to just around 78% in 2011 in India.
So now India is giving reservation to Muslims from 2012, in institutes and government jobs, as majority of their Muslim's new generation isn’t competent enough to face different competitions.
