Present day India’s most raging topic is d one that strikes my mind today.. This topic is very common and many would have thought abt it but scarcely would ne1 talk abt it..so I thought y not me!!
If we check out ne newspaper or surf the net d obvious answer to this ques would be stated as CORRUPTION,CHILD LABOUR,DOWRY SYSTEM,POVERTY,ILLITERACY,UNEMPLOYMENT and so on..but as far as I think d root cause of all these afore mentioned things is nothing but our ever increasing POPULATION..its not jst increasin population..the demographic survey says POPULATION EXPLOSION..ya thats d term..Explosion..our population is not jst increasin its exploding..and that too at an alarming rate..
Know wat, all these earlier mentioned epithets for our problems r intertwined wit each other nd the startin point is d population..this enormous population is causing a lack of vacancies in d job market..which leads to unemployment of d masses..this leads to people remainin in poor nd shabby conditions..which leads to poverty..livin in such dingy conditions people r unable to give their children proper education..leave aside “proper”, they r unable to give their off springs ne sort of education..which leads to them remaining illiterate..thus adding to d ever increasin illiteracy rate..this again leads to the same cycle of unemployment then poverty nd then finally illiteracy..
Know wat, I’ve even tried discussing this wit my pals bt scarcely does ne1 wanna discuss this..every1 says that wats d use of discussing this..there’s no final answer to this..they keep tellin me that d government is very lazy nd they r at all not interested in d problems MY country is facing..bt to tell d truth who is d government?? “WE ARE”..it’s we the people of d country..Democracy has been very well defined by d late 16th president of d United States as “of the people, by the people and for the people”..
Lets face it..how many of us would hav ever thought of even for a miniscule second that we would grow up to be a politician??that slight grin on ur face tells me that none of u would hav thought of it..not only u..even I hav neva thought of it..it’s pretty common..even now as well, all of u would be thinkin that who’s gonna enter into this mud pool of politics!!this as well applies to me too..bt to face the truth if we ourselves don’t do it no one else would..no one ever cleans their neighbours’ house..so it has to be us only who hav to dive heart n soul into this dirty pond nd bring out from it OUR country..
I know that d government is takin steps to control this population bt only askin people to use a condom or take contraceptives will do very lil benefit..in my opinion there r two ways to solve this..either go the IRAQ way or go the CHINA way..
IRAQ way as in make 100 people stand at one place nd shoot them off jst lyk d dogmatic Saddam Hussein did..this is practically not applicable in our country..
CHINA way as in seize d population growth..they hav decided to not increase their population by even 5% till 2020..they r rewarding people wit monetary benefits..esp d fairer sex..if they r able to control their off spring number to jst one..even d men r awarded wit let offs..
Even in our country we can implement this policy..it is said that in our country d birth rate is thrice that of the death rate..it is believed that by 2050 these two would become equal..who knows till then whether we’ll survive or not..so I badly hope that this equalizes way before 2050 so that wen our off springs r in their mother’s womb they don’t hav a complaint that dad mom i don’t wanna come out into THIS country..this should not be d prayer of an unborn child..!!d day WE THE PEOPLE will be able to do this, that day MY country will become a much better haven to dwell in nd an absolute heaven on earth where our unborn children would beg to get born..
