Population growth is not only due to increased number of births but also due to decrease in death rates.

People flock to western countries because they've created a great standard of living and cherish enlightenment values which gave rise to the the scientific and industrial revolution but if people don't integrate then that changes the very character of the place which made it competitive in the first place. Tamil Culture is the most authentic because it isn't a reaction to Islamic hegemony. We don't want arab influences here but I'm not worried about Muslim population expansion because I highly doubt Muslims can remain in their bubble for long except in places like Afghanistan. The internet pops everybody's bubbles and they have to face the 21st century. It isn't 7th century Arabia anymore.

Indian government should honour all single who are over thirties & forties on "Independence Day" for the great contribution to population control

The only truth about the population debate in India is none of the Political parties have the courage to confront or address it in any substantial way. The idea of the phrase "demographic dividend " got more holes in it than the Indo-Bangladesh border.

Population control had stated by congress during 70s. But it was derailed by the opposition including right wings parties.

It is the hard works Congress and Left front. In 2050 or before the Hindu may be second class citizen

Once in my friend circle we were discussing this issue. We are hardcore non-religious group. I put forward this thought which I'm sharing below..
Hindus in minority is a done case .. no hope .. no constitutional argument will work then .. Best case scenario would be to convert than to live a life of 2nd class citizen .. conversion should also be carefully done .. shouldn't become Shia, or Ahmadi etc. only a Sunni .. that too choose the most aggressive sect .
I don't believe in religion .. all religions are false according to me .. Life is bigger phenomena than religious identity .. I will happily become Muslim than to lose my life over stupid religious identity.

Dear Mojo Story, please and please don't call that arrogant, spoiled ill mouthed person, who doesn't have that dignity about how to behave in a discussion.

25:00– so, wide scale education among Muslims is not going to affect the fertility rate among Muslims. Maybe this is only confined to Kerala but not a general trend.

[loneranger]

Barkha just my personal opinion, Zafar Iqbal is a very nice, calm, composed, decent man, but he is a little unsure of himself or as to how he will conduct the debate. I'm not taking anything away from him as a human being. Anyway this was a good debate

[mollamorshad]

Density of population = total population / total liveable area. Definitely india is going to be most populous country because liveable area in India is less than china.

L a u d e lag Gaye desh bacche paida karo Bhai log 😆😆😆

[syedakhtarali]

why bloody IN to remind us.

[countryfirst]

bunch of woke/leftist pacifying one community here!!!!

[kasardevi]

Has it really come down to that, Mr. Nambiar, how you make your economics .... this is like in Hitler Germany ! Even same arguments! Good night India, propaganda of Savarkar is doing its job ..we know from history where such type of politics end. Mr. Nambiar does not even have the courtesy to listen or accept other speakers opinions. In Kerala all people have 100% education, not only Muslims... don't invite such racists
