Past Growing Population: In 1951, the population of India was 36 crores. According to the United Nations World Population Prospectus 2022 report, on 1st July 2022, the population of India has reached 140.7 crores from 140 crores. During the 61 years from 1951 to 2022, India’s population increased from 36 crores to 140.8 crores, it is not a matter of pride for the country but a disgraceful incident. Shall we say that India is the guru of spirituality and that India has shown the world the true ideal of renunciation and dispassion? India is the capital of the country and if the growing population of India is happy and prosperous, if there is economic equality in the country, then we could tell the world that India has shown the right path to the world, but according to an estimate, 22 crore people are suffering from malnutrition in our huge population. The belief that the Western world is indulgent and India is renunciation is widespread in Apostolic India. At present, many leaders of the country mention the fact that India’s population is 130 crores in their exaggerated speeches of nationalism. Of course China’s population was 142.7 crore as compared to India’s 140.8 crore on July 1, 2022 but India will surpass China’s population in 2023. Many Indians would consider this respectable, but in a country where more than 220 million people (this number fluctuates) are poor and India’s per capita income is only $2100 and China’s per capita income is around $10,000. Hindostan Hamara’s claim seems doubtful.
Populous Countries: Below are the most populous countries in the world, with each country’s population shown in parentheses as on 1 July 2022. : China (142.6 crore), India (140.8 crore), America (33.7 crore), Indonesia (27.4 crore), Pakistan (23.1 crore), Brazil (21.4 crore), Nigeria (21.6 crore), Bangladesh (16.9 crore), Russia (14.5 crore and Mexico (12.7 crore)) The estimated population of the world on July 1, 2022 was 791 crore. This increase is called ‘population explosion’ in English. Says. A population bomb can actually prove more destructive than a real bomb. It should be noted here that some Indians are proud that India will become the most populous country in the world in 2023!
Quality of population: The average life expectancy of people across the world has reached 71 years and the Indian citizen is below the world average of 71 years with an average life expectancy of only 66.7 years. One implication of this is India’s lack of affordable food and effective health services, and India’s high rate of infant mortality and infant mortality (infant mortality is the death of a child under one year of age). Bangladesh and India are very densely populated countries. Despite Bangladesh’s per capita income in terms of purchasing parity of $6,613 and India’s per capita income of $7,333 in terms of purchasing parity, the average life expectancy of the citizens of Bangladesh is 72.4 years while the average life expectancy of the citizens of India is 67.2 years, which shows that the health services in India are more intensive and Need to make it accessible. Fertilizer subsidies in India amount to more than one lakh crore rupees and can reach up to 2.5 lakh crores. If this amount is used to strengthen education and health services, the average life expectancy of Indian people can increase.
