No Girl Born In 132 Villages In Uttarkashi In 3 Months: Report

indian population will decline and become older as males cannot reproduce like females

Latest data already shows a downward trend, which most modeling predicts that India will be hitting replacement levels in another 20 years.

That is simply put, fantastic news. And it's not lost on most who follow these trends that India's slowdown came a lot earlier than the other big boy, China.

Cheers, Doc

indian fertility is already almost at replacement levels (2.2 kids per family). However, indianpopulation will keep on growing till 2070 or so. And then it will stabilize.

india will have 1.5 to 1.6 billion people by the end of the century

Partly correct. I'll try to find that paper but it's the 2070 date that has been significantly trimmed back by new data come in.

Someone slammed the emergency brake.

Worked as a doctor in Kpk and punjab for 8 years before moving abroad,I've seen this practice everywhere and not just limited to India
Sir, still the statistics do not corroborate your "practice everywhere".. I don't deny that it does not happen in Pakistan at all ...but not even closer to the scale of it in India. You can't equate because the figures do not support. BTW what is your specialisation?

Coming back to the topic, the way I dare it, for population growth (or decline) there is a tipping point.

Huge population groups like Asia passed that a long time ago.

There are many ways to slow down a runaway population, but they take incremental steps and take a huge amount of time before tangible results show.

There are two historically time tested fast track ways of culling a population.

One is war and disease. While disease kills indiscriminately (though the weak go first), war on the other hand strips a people overnight of a generation of men. Leaving only women, kids and the old behind.

Recovery from that can take two trajectories. Compare Europe and Japan on one side and post war baby boomer America on the other.

Did racial and ethnic homogeneity vs diversity have a role to play there? I don't know. But it is a plausible possibility.

The other way is in times of peace. And here I feel that China and India have both culturally and unwittingly hit upon the other time tested way of population control ... the queen bee paradigm of destroying a hive.

It is pertinent to note that even today in these gender sensitive times, we talk in terms of child per woman ...

No woman, no child.

Cheers, Doc

The numbers can widely vary in countries like India.

This is a more accurate representation of the ratio of children between the age of 0-1 as per the 2001 census. Stark differences in cultural outlook propagates this. It is being dealt with by the GoI. But any sane discussion on this forum, no longer makes any sense. As is evident from the OP himself.

For academic purposes, you are welcome to watch It's a girl. A documentary focussing on India and China.

Clearly said that before that not as common as India but still happening everywhere in Pakistan and am an eyewitness to it.

Actually, if you look at CIA data sheet, we are perfectly sitting at 105 male births per 100 females.. which is same as many western countries..
