Narayana Murthy Flags Population Growth as Major Risk to India's Future

  • Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has identified India's rapidly rising population as a significant threat to the country's sustainability.
  • Speaking at the convocation ceremony of Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Murthy emphasized the neglect of population control since the Emergency period.
  • He contrasted India's situation with countries like the US, Brazil, and China, which have higher per capita land availability.
  • Murthy also expressed skepticism about India's ambition to become a global manufacturing hub, citing China's dominance in the sector.
  • He stressed the need for improvements in public governance to support the manufacturing industry and highlighted the sacrifices made by the previous generation for current opportunities.

He is totally right this time. We need at least 30-40 cr less population considering the natural resources we have

he is right, if he had said this 30 years back. Our population replacement level is below 2. Just look around the office were we work, you will find atleast half of them in thier late 20s either unmarried or childless. That means if lucky they will have 1 kid.

Population increase in gradual. But collapse is faster. Gvmt says we will peak by 2050. If my guess is right, we will peak by 2035. By 2045 we will start seeing the decline in numbers. By 2060, we will be looking at collapse of the Hindu population. a Simple reverse calculation is enough to arrive at this numbers. Our population growth peaked in mid 1990. Since then the Fertility rate has been falling and now at 1.96. below the replacement level of 2.

Whenever we peak, we would have utilized most of our natural resources. So it's very tough for the future generations. The world doesn't need these many people. Thanos was fully correct in what he did

Real talk is, hindus fertility rate is down. There is one community who breeds like hell Iā€™m sorry to say this. But they need to be stopped.
Oh sorry, politicians are busy in appeasing them.
