Over a billion Indians, a problem or an opportunity...
A topic for which die-hard indian optimists say latter and so-called "pessimists", former. I feel it isn't even a topic!
Well the rationale behind such a feeling is not new. It is all pervasive but most of us choose to be comfortably oblivious. A close observation of small, mundane things like the condition of the travellers in the public transport or even the traffic on the main streets in the town should help the uninitiated understand what we've embarked upon. Any one with a miniscular amount of imagination can extrapolate the aftermaths of such a huge population explosion. It really scares me, imagining the conditions that we would need to endure 10 or even 5 years from now gives me nightmares, literally.
Why do we indians, who take pride in our mathematical and calucational capabilities not understand the simple effects of population. Is it because of our uncontrollable sexual urge, this isn't completely true. A recent survey conducted by a "good for no other thing" national daily suggests that we are among the last few countries in that context. So, where do all these babies come from??? Does every f*** in the country mean a baby. If that's so, probably, the goverment should revamp their condom campaign roping in live models to display the pleasures involved in love-making with out resulting in a baby.
I feel, that the core cause for this is a mad rat race. A race every indian community is indulging to increase their numbers. Muslims (Spare me for being blatant), i believe are told in their religious meetings, "Bacche Allah ke den hote hain, hum bas une darthi par lathe hain" - so go on friends, keep indulging. For an average indian, giving birth to a child is as important as it is for a stray dog. No one tries to waste their otherwise busy brains to think what will be the repurcussions of bringing a life to this planet. Can't blame a individual, it's in the system. Every male with the ability to reproduce aspires to be a father, if not for anything but to prove his manhood.
I guess it's time to ask our selves:
Are we are misusing freedom? Do we deserve the independence?
And Remember, we do not have much time, coz if this continues it won't be far when nature decides to get even.
