Is Population root cause of Problems ?

   Is Population root cause of problems in India ?  Is Population reason for Poverty ? 
You will be surprised that answer is "NO". Let's see some facts and understand "How"


1. We have always been thinking that Population is root cause of every problem in India. We also had been saying that Population is cause of poor Education and Poor Education is cause of Population. Isn't it ?  Most of people attribute and relate problems to our population.


2. At the time of Independence India's population was 33 crores and out of that 4 crore population was 'poor'. Today our population is 121 crores, which means that we are 3.5 times more than we were at the time of independence. So, even if our past governments didn't do anything to remove poverty.. we should have 3.5 times more number of poor today that is 14 crores. In fact Govt have been claiming that they have removed poverty and will remove poverty from India..  So by that calculation we should have less that 14 crores poor in India. You will be shocked to learn that there are "85 Crore" poor people in India today. 


3. It is absolutely shocking that Indian population is increased by 3.5 times but poverty increased by 21 times. This means these politicians have Looted India to this extent that Rich became more rich and poor became more poor. This "Loot" has created a huge divide between Rich and Poor. 


4. This was not the case when India got independence. Difference between Rich and Poor was not that BIG. Almost all were at same social/economic status. During that time, India had no foreign debt. Rs 1 was equal to both $ 1 and £ 1... Even after 200 years of "Loot" by Britishers we were far better off. 


5. After Independence, these Corrupt politicians, political parties did "LOOT" our India to such a BIG extent that we are now collapsing, Systems are failing, Now you see anywhere everyone is Looting others.. let it be corruption, frauds, scams, hoarding, black money, adulteration etc etc.. 


6. After this massive LOOT after independence people of India have been forced to live with limited resources. Small houses, crowded roads, buses, trains, limited infrastructure, long queues, less salaries, more taxes, high inflation and what not.. 


7. This is all because whatever wealth (Produce, Services etc) our Indian people generated after independence, these corrupt people have LOOTED most of them and never returned back to people in form of Progress, Development and Industrialization. With no real intention to serve the people of Nation, these people wasted lot of India's wealth in mismanagement, poor planning, corruption etc .. 


8. With NO equated development & progress, we could not see Infrastructure built up for People of India. Like Schools, Hospitals, Roads, Water Mgmt, Power generation, Industrialization etc.. As a result we people of India forced to live in certain cities and keep growing around those. 


9. With high concentration of Cities, Resources were falling inadequate.. like Delhi has population of 1.2 crores whereas it's infrastructure is say capable of holding only 25 lakh people. In other words we have cramped Delhi almost 6 times more than it's capacity. Hence we see HUGE population around us and as 6 times more people are accommodated it is naturally going to cause inconvenience like Traffic, long queues, adulteration, rocket high land/housing prices etc .. 


10. If we put the things other way, India has HUGE livable land which is fertile, have access to water and all other natural resources. But because of this LOOT after independence, govt never bothered to develop other areas/land which can ease off population from Top 10 populous cities in India. As a short term solution what they did is extended areas around those existing Cities which increased the livable area but still did put up more pressure on those cities. ( NOIDA Extension - Farmer issue just relates to this )


11. What's solution then ?  Remove Corruption from INDIA, Bring back Black Money and with these two major steps we will be able to Build Highways, Towns, Industries, Schools, Hospitals etc. We have enough of Human & Natural Resources, if investment of resources is done properly and honestly .. we will not have problems that we think is caused by "POPULATION" 


[ Note : Statistics about poverty may vary a bit, Definition of "poor" may change count a bit here and there, but Reality is not much different from what is depicted in this article. ]

"LOOT" BY CORRUPTS IS CAUSE OF ALMOST ALL PROBLEMS, NOT POPULATION
