- verteu 3y agoKeep in mind India's fertility rate was much higher at the time of the anecdote (~3.35 children/woman in 2000 vs 2.05 now).
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoThere were predictions even then of rate tampering down. If someone was so concerned about India's population, they should have looked at projections before speaking down to the locals.
