What is the one single factor that is the root of all problems in India?

Don't take this post negatively but think hard and put your views. We all agree that India is doing great at this point of time but no one , literally no one is talking about the danger future we have in front of us in coming years. Below points need immediate attention and action 1) Huge water crises in all the major cities and it will only get worse each year. 2) Corruption still relevant in almost all government works from land registration to traffic fines to railway ticket fines, you name it. 3) We really need one child policy for some years now otherwise we can't imagine how dark the future is in all terms, from food to employment to natural resources. 4) Almost every food product from oil, ghee, butter is contaminated and the quality is just getting worse, to meet demand and to increase profits. Also corruption here. 5) The weather is just getting worse because of all the concrete jungles we have created and this will also get worse , thanks to our never ending population explosion. Barack Obama rightly said recently that we should focus on improving the health of earth rather than finding life on Mars. Earth will still have oxygen even after nuclear energy wars. Sometimes I really think that we need real Thanos , who is the only one who can help solve these problems.

Don't entirely agree- In the early 1980s, China and India had comparable GDP levels, both being predominantly agrarian economies with similar per capita incomes. However, China's GDP grew exponentially over the following decades due to a series of market-oriented reforms initiated in 1978 by Deng Xiaoping. In contrast, India's economic liberalization began later, in 1991, and while it has also experienced significant growth, it has not matched the pace or scale of China's economic transformation.

- 2001: A majority of states had a TFR above the replacement level of 2.1, with several states in the northern and central regions showing significantly higher rates (e.g., Uttar Pradesh at 4.4, Bihar at 4.5). - 2021: Most states have reduced their TFR to or below the replacement level. Notably, states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, which previously had high TFRs, now show reduced figures (2.4 and 3, respectively). The southern and western states exhibit some of the lowest TFRs, such as Kerala (1.8) and Maharashtra (1.7). This shift indicates a transition towards stabilization in population growth, which can have significant implications for resource management, economic planning, and social policies in India. Considering everything while may lead to better quality of life as resource per child will increase but on other hand in next 100 or 200 years, our country might face aging problem. Also, this will lead to change in traditional family structures. We might stop seeing joint family structures. What else do you think might be a positive or negative outcome of this?

Dating has become the norm for relationships today, but many don't realize that it's a relatively recent development, prevalent in Western society for only about a century, and it's already causing societal issues. Previously, Indian arranged marriages were standard (different from forced marriages). Families would arrange meetings between their daughters and another family's sons. If they liked each other, they would soon plan the wedding, marry, have sex, and start families. Today, individuals are left to find their own partners. If you don't find someone in high school, university, or work, your chances of finding a partner diminish. There's also less incentive for marriage, as sex no longer requires marriage or even dating, leading to more people pursuing sex directly. This has created a skewed dynamic where fewer men pursue women due to competition, turning to porn instead, while women face exploitation by men who have abundant choices. Ultimately, near 28-30 both genders rush to the arranged marriage system to get them a partner while having their feet dipped on dating apps. In the US, This has lead to decreased marriage rates and, consequently, lower birth rates since most births occur within marriages. A decline in families results in a decreased population, putting more pressure on younger generations to support an aging population. Western nations, therefore, rely heavily on immigration, causing additional challenges. Increased single motherhood also correlates with higher crime rates, drug use, loneliness, mental health issues, and suicides P.S. I'm young and dating too. Just thoughts for a conversation on what the implications of dating for us as a society could be.
