@heliumskylark Overpopulation is not a core issue in India any longer.
Our TFR has dropped to 2.2 (very close to replacement rate of 2.1)

The problem is elsewhere:
Low quality of human capital - the skills are not enough for better quality jobs
High unemployment
Regional inequity in population - the population in the south is decreasing (TFR less than replacement) while in BIMARU states not decreasing fast enough. Fall in TFR is closely correlated to female literacy improvement.
We need to do more long term investment in education (especially female education) to solve this problem. Fascist impulses like one child policy are not the solution.
