India's total population is now 1.21 billion

[Dushmann]

They have more than 300 million people..

The population of Indonesia according to the 2010 national census is
237.6 million. Only 86% are Muslims. And large number of Muslims are converting to Christianity as per claims of Church.

 

[funtoosh]

Don't get me wrong but I pray Muslim Pakistan's population is much higher, by at least a few more hundreds of millions of people For now I'll stick with the government's official figures of 183 million people.

not getting you wrong.. thanks...yeah.. during partition india gave enough land to paksitan to accomodate the whole muslim population if the subcontinent. So you can easily take in the 150-180 million muslims living in india. so you should be 350-380 million stron nation.

Damn Indians need to stop breeding

The muslim population in India must be thanking their forefathers for choosing to stay in India, they made a smart decision to stay in fair and secular country

Mods- Please dont delete my comments! I had written this comment and was deleted..let the truth prevail!

I was so tempted to give you relevant figures of Pakistan, but yeah, I agree with you.

very true i agree.. but hindus are thinking why we did not force them out. all we need to do is eject muslims in UP, Bihar, Maharashtra, hyerabad, kerala and bhatkal area of Karnataka

Why the population of India grow so quickly?
1. Climate, India is at torrid zone, Plant growth rapidly and people don't worry about clothes，no need winter clothes, while every Chinese need at least 10 times clothes compared with general Indian, the four seasons need different clothes while Indian only need Summer clothes, that's why months ago hundreds of Indian froze to death while temperature is below 9 degrees, that make Chinese unimaginable, since Beijing has 4 months below 4 degree.
2. Geographical environment：69% of India land can be seen as arable land, only 25% land is Mountain, 43% is flatland, while only 12% of China's land is flatland, 75% is mountains; Now, India's arable land is 130% of China's arable land while food production is only 46% of China's, even though India at the prolific tropical regions.
3. Fewer full-scale war：India without full-scale war for hundreds of years, not hurt in World War I, World War II and other full wars.

Then,You people are breeding twice as fast as we are and unlike us your population growth rate is only increasing.In fact of all the big countries Pakistan has the fastest growing population in the world.

Refworld | Tackling Pakistan's population time bomb

By reading the graph, it seems Bangladesh is more successful in containing birth rates comparing to India and Pakistan. Well, it did not come alone and suddenly. It was preceded by the social developments. Almost all the social indicators of BD is above those of India and Pakistan. Only Sri Lanka is ahead of us. BD population will possibly stabilize at 20 million.

THEORY-

Countries that have warmer climates, generally humid temperature, and abundant resources don't really show up on the world stage as significant countries.

Examples are India, Sub-saharan Africa, Dravidian of Australia, etc.

All these nations had alot of natural resources, warm climate, but their society could never develop due to this. The indigenous tribes of Africa never even had a written language.
You can also see this with the Incas of South America. They had a great oral culture, but ultimately failed because there wasn't a written language present.

And this theory was postulated by Professor Retard?

Roybot, it is "postulated" by my own observations of what is happening in these countries

Why is it funny?

 

[Nan Yang]

Yes, its quite obvious you are not an economic expert since you didn't understand the figures.

6-7% is per year.

17.7% is decadal growth ie. in 10 years, equivalent to about 1.01% per year.

So, if real gdp growth is 6-7% per year, the real per capita gdp grows by about 5-6% per year.

In the last 8 years (2004-2012) though, the real gdp grew by 8.2% per year.

Oh, My apologies for the mistake. Thank you for pointing out.

Just one more question. In view of the Global warming and bearing in mind the limited land and resources, what do you think is the optimum population for a country like India ?
