Allow me to recap your evolving assertions:
a. >> "Massive overpopulation, caused in part by over-aggressive family planning measures"
b. >> over-aggressive family planning measures [...] led to Government family planning measures being widely distrusted in rural areas for the next few decades. This, combined with improved healthcare and low infant mortality, has led to roaring population growth.
c. >> the fertility rate would have dropped much faster if the stringent family planning incentives during the Emergency would not have been imposed
If you think a = b = c, I rest my case.
- parennoob 13y agoIn all honesty, I do think they are at least broadly similar in their fundamentals, if not exactly equivalent. Perhaps you want to believe that there is absolutely no unusual pattern in India's population growth that is causing people to leave, and the only reason for brain drain to the US are nebulously defined "better opportunities". In which case I am going to refrain from futher argument, and leave you with this cartogram of countries scaled to their population (density-equalized). http://www2.imperial.ac.uk/~mgastner/cartogram/population1024x512_downsampled.png http://www2.imperial.ac.uk/~mgastner/cartogram/population102...
