Guys, Which southern state will be worst affected by declining population?

[thevip-unemployed]

Its because North India failed to control population, but punishing south india for did good job by reducing Parliament members and Gst share.

[Maratha]

In Kerala I see villages being abandoned. So many houses are vacant like haunted houses. Population is decreasing rapidly

[prasanth....]

South India (Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu) requires more metropolitan cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bangalore.

[RxlredE]

Absolutely not. As a resident if Hyderabad. I dont want my city to be as populated and polluted as Delhi. Traffic is already bad here.. dont want it to end up like Bangalore or mumbai. Hyderabad is pretty much a disaster free zone, no problem of water, electricity. Even im getting annoyed by crowds here. If that happens ill just leave this country for good.

[Ojasp]

Even Maharashtra has TFR of 1.5 but Maharashtra also has huge migrant population from Bihar and UP which southern states mostly don't have.

[Aman-py]

Why do these politicians want hell in India ? India needs only 25 crores people.

[sathishsssskumar]

Main problem is inflation increased education fees

[Ay.ushhhh]

4:58 India is the only country where GDP has grown in the same rate as the unemployment rate

[csravikumar]

High education
High expenses
Raising children cost
Are the reason.

[khushiojha-cxon]

indian population in 1950 : 37cr
indian population in 2024 : 145cr
we are already overpopulated let it decrease

[RohitK-]

In my state Karnataka day by day population is decreasing. Karnataka people are not interested to get marry if they marry they are only stick with one children they don't wanna make 2 children. Some people plan for 2 children but maximum people are satisfied with 1 child. And outsider people are immigrating here only those people can increase population.

[santhoshv]

We don't ask more children if hindi people stopped their fertility. High population is burdening our southern states.

[skk]

Thing is 1 child policy shpuld b imposed on north india. Then everything will b good.
South India does excell things from long ago

[sodiumchloride]

South India is facing the same problem as of Japan and S. Korea. West Bengal will also face the same problem. I will say population reduction is good for India because it will also reduce unemployment, competition etc

[PremdasDutta-iwnw]

Hindi speakers of bimaru should give stress on rural womem education and public health.reduce population focus on rural women and rural health.we have proved it.

[myownchannell]

They need to stop baby production in the north and educate them 😂

[ganeshbhandarkar]

On one side, it is said that AI will replace many jobs in the future. On the other hand, there is concern that the population is declining. These 2 statements contradict each other. What is the point of having more people if there are no jobs for them? We need to take a stand. Either let the population decline and use more AI or stop using AI and give more jobs to people so that there is hope to have more people.

[sendhilvelavan]

North Indian politicians will start bossing South indians using more MPs in the delimited parliament. Politicians from BIMARU states will start making national laws convenient to them. Hindutva, Hindi, Hate culture (3H) policies and other regressive elements will be pushed to others who don''t really want it. Life in south is far more prosperous and progressive without 3H.

[nivethaj]

Fyi, most of the north indians doesnt give importance to education and nutrition but whereas in south we spent around 50k to 2 lakhs for single child alone in that manner we dont wanna bear more children and make them starve instead we can have one or two childrens and raise them with absolute care
