India is set to become the world’s most populous country on April 14, a title China has held for decades. Faced with a large – and growing – population of more than 1.4 billion, India’s family planning service is under pressure to maintain a decreasing fertility rate.
A UN forecast predicts that on April 14 the Indian population will reach 1,425,775,850 – a number that dethrones China from its long-held position as the world’s most populous country.
The exact population of India today is unknown (a 2021 update on the decade-old census was indefinitely delayed by the pandemic) but all signs point to exponential growth. While China’s formerly steep rate of population increase is starting to plateau, India’s curve is still forging upwards.
It is estimated that India has added 210 million – almost the number of people in Brazil – to its population since the last census 12 years ago. As of 2020, it has gained roughly 1 million inhabitants each month.
The population of India – and China – is now equivalent to the entire continent of Africa, and dwarfs that of Europe and the Americas.

Since North America and Europe COMBINED represent 1/3 of the population as India, China, and Africa COMBINED, please explain why we are responsible for Climate change.
Yes I know we are industrialized but China is burning coal like crazy and Africa and India still burn dung. Also please stop the BS that China and India are still emerging industrially. They emerged decades ago!!
Just once I’d like to see China and India line up FIRST to save the planet.
Because the people pushing global warming want to control white people. It is all they actually care about. Russia is white and they ain’t getting in line.
Our level of tech support should improve dramatically as all these new Indians come of age.
spot on! predominately white countries with $$$, so we can share it out.
No one says Europe + NA are solely responsible. Asian countries including India and China are also held responsible - but at a lower level -- and why? Because if you compare pollutants pushed into the atmosphere over the past 300 years, then surprisingly the UK is nearly #1.
So even though Western Europe is cleaner now - it still bears some responsibility for the previous junk dumped into the atmosphere
China and India also need to stop what they are doing - and to be fair, they are doing this -- look at China's reduction in percentage wise coal and gas consumption for energy
Or India
It is also in both their interests to move away from coal and gas - since they import both - and to move to solar (they have a lot of sunny days) and wind and hydro and nuclear
Well, both do have immense recycling and both are implementing solar capacity like crazy
They need to be leaders around 2040 when that legacy depth of Western europe, that I referred to above, wears down
In China there is a few hundred million middle class industrialized society embedded in the 1.4 billion population, much of which is pretty backward.
In India, the middle class industrialized population is much smaller, a couple hundred million, and the rest of the 1.4 billion is much more backward.
Tech support will be taken over by AI, so the growing Indian work force will mainly move into the burgeoning telemarketing industry.
From the article:
“In the 1970s, economic and social stagnation led the Indian government to launch a mass drive to sterilise men as a population control method. Heavy-handed enforcement saw men pressured into having vasectomies on pain of having their salaries docked or losing their jobs. Poor men risked being picked up by police from railway and bus stations before being sent for sterilisation.
The result in modern India is that “no scalpel vasectomies have a very poor uptake”, Choudhuri says. “Men aren’t doing enough.”
State efforts still shy away from diversifying contraceptive methods. Sterilisation for men and women is incentivised with payment, and some states have introduced a two-child policy with penalties such as bans on holding government jobs for those who do not comply. The private health sector is the main provider of contraceptive of pills, injectables and condoms.”
Maybe AI can make them understandable on the phone.
Can pretty much figure out what they do with their spare time.
Micro-aggression!!
Well. I'd rather have surplus Indians than Chinese. The Chinese worship almost nothing, the Indians worship almost everything. :D
Don’t worry! “Conservative” Mike Lee says they can all come here and crap in our streets and steal our jobs!
