speaking of India, how could their population be expanding when its so full of disease, poverty, hunger,abandonment of girl children.....
There are more people in India without indoor plumbing than there are people in the United States.
It’s a giant sewer.
It has 20% below the poverty line (this fell from 45% when they were full-blown socialist to 20% when they dismantled SOME aspects of socialism (if they scrapped socialism completely it would be 5%)
Disease levels are bad, but reaching developed country levels
And no, it hasn't had any famines since it got its independence (which tells you how famines are caused mainly by bad government policies - Ethiopia is another example where, when they tossed out dictatorship, their nutrition levels rose). They are among the largest producers and exporters of food products globally
Abandonment of girl BABIES is a problem - more like ABORTION of them and more like only in the north (Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh) - while in the south the sex ratio is a normal 102+ women to 100 men.
