My Population Geography professor was born and raised in Calcutta. She knows what "crowded" is.

She taught us that unless birth rates are reversed, and the trend linking industrialization with infertility is broken, the entire world will face "catastrophic depopulation" in fewer than five generations.

We examined what will happen after the "population bubble" bursts ... total system failure. When women stop having babies, the entire social structure comes unglued.

We also learned about the "The Emergency." During that time, the Indian government was desperate for development aid ... which was linked to adherence to WHO standards of population control ... so in order to meet their "sterilization quota" and get their development money, the government started rolling up to villages, chasing down all the young women therein and forcibly sterilizing them.

My Professor (full blown feminist type) believed Population control was racist, western Imperialism at its worst. I agree. The underlying thought behind it is:

"Must stop these nasty coloured people from breeding. No more mothers. Need to get their women out of the house and into sweatshop factories, so that their nations will develop as we wish them to, into our economic dependents. "

Very true.

Japan is facing extinction, because they have very few young kids and no immigration. Here in the US, we are in slightly better shape, but not much.

One attitude is "Must stop these nasty coloured people from breeding." Elsewhere I read: "Japan is facing extinction, because they have very few young kids and no immigration."
So where are the babies being born?

I guess you are another example of the fruit of the education-by-full-blow-feminist-types.
In THIS case population control, done by your own Indian government, freely and democratically elected, wasn't your own Indian government's fault. No, it was the fault of the nasty western Imperialists.

1. I guess all those young women that were chased down and forcibly sterilized were family-less, no fathers or brothers to protect them. They had no friends to turn to either, I guess.
I wonder how the Indian government KNEW what young women needed forcible sterilization. SOMEONE had to compile a list, then find out where these women lived, when they were free to be abducted. SOMEONE had to find out if those young women had any health issues that might impede the forcible sterilziation.
It must have taken a multi-million-man army of clerks, kidnappers, doctors, nurses and such to perpetrate this crime. I wonder if they are still operating in India. Young, unsterilized women abound.

2. I guess there was no recourse for them from police or courts. These things, I guess, can happen there. I guess India doesn't have civil liberties for young, unsterilized women.

3. I guess they were abducted in the middle of the night where there was no one to see them, protect them or witness their forcible abduction.

4. I guess all the doctors, nurses, surgery assistants and hospital attendants were in on this forcible sterilization as well.

5. I guess Indian civil liberties were just done away with for these forcibly-sterilized young women.

My, my, Western Imperialism managed to do ALL THIS and the Indian government and people just stood by and watched and did nothing. What POWER "western Imperialism" has over India. I had no idea.

From what I know of India and its caste system, racism by caste is pure Hindu, from ancient EVEN pre-western Imperialism. Racism is built into the very fabric of Indian society, with name, occupation -- and color -- built into keeping people in their place: Brahmins at the top and untouchables at the bottom.
But, perhaps, somehow, in that full-blown feminist's teacher's mind, western Imperialism is to blame for even that.
Lol. She has a lot of nerve calling the West "racist." Look what pot is calling the kettle black. Perhaps she was EDUCATED by the West and brought those ideas over there. No, that couldn't be because the West decries racism and such things as forcible sterilization. In fact, the West has laws against racism and forcible sterilization. Young women chased down and forcibly sterilized doesn't happen here.

Her tirade is, like the full-blown feminist tirades here, chock full of holes, lies, wasted emotion, nonsequiters, skewed logic and unclear thinking. She ought to be "casting stones" at her OWN house instead of at the West's. She wouldn't be listened to anyway. She makes no sense. Her garbage sounds good ONLY to young, emotional, uninformed, unhappy, angry minds with no sensible minds to counteract her nonsense.

Maybe, like the full blown feminists here, she is simply an angry, bitter, unhappy woman who turns her rage and self-hate towards ANYONE else but that woman in the mirror.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, whose the bitterest of them all?
I hope you have purged yourself of that poison. It will only make your life less fulfilled.

I learned a LONG time ago that the answers to all questions and problems are at the foot of the Cross. I wonder if that full-blown feminist instructor knows that. Somehow, I doubt it.
