Recently Kerala Government is mulling a law for punishing father of 3 or more kids as per Kerala Women’s Code Bill 2011 , so is father only responsible for a child but my question is, this seems to be a good move, I believe, I have thought about it a lot, I see all problems in society, be it space, food, education etc all are related to increasing population. I guess, all who understand this issue should actively make sure ""Hum do hamare Ek" to reduce population and culminate social malice like crime, corruption etc.
 
Re: Major problems in India - Polulation related! What do you say?

^ I completely agree,most of the major problems in india is due to population.Really it's worrying that no govt have come up with a strict law of a single child as in china.The problem is within ourselves there is not even one example in the history where 100% of voting is an election, an intelligent person don't vote thinking nothing will change by his/her vote,it should change.
It's my opinion by bringing the following changes something will improve
1.Compulsory education.
2.pass a law for compulsory voting for each and every person eligible for voting.
3.introduce Bi-party system.
4.Remove paper currency,each & every traction should be done through account even it's of 1rupee or 1000 lakh crores, so that every traction can be monitored & tax collecting can be done easily,so tax cheating won't happen means more income to govt more facilities to people.
This is my personal opinion.

Punishment for having kids is an extreme move and is not the way of a democracy.Incentives and awareness are the best we can do.
 
Re: Major problems in India - Polulation related! What do you say?

almost all problems in Modern India is due to uncontrolled CORRUPTION
 
Re: Major problems in India - Polulation related! What do you say?

Less population means lesser number of corrupt people.

Less population also means more resource to share so corruption should come down with it.
 
Re: Major problems in India - Polulation related! What do you say?

By eradicating corruption every problem in india will not solve even though many of them are related to it, spreading awareness on the consequences of over population should be done & restriction on number of children should be imposed.I hope it's done sooner the better.
 
Re: Major problems in India - Polulation related! What do you say?

People should totally have to get a license before having a child(at the very least the second one). There are laws to control pretty much every aspect of life except procreation, which apparently is scared and there is nothing more draconian than a law to prevent people from having a bunch of kids.

How can corruption be a major problem? Corruption is a result of some thing like fever is a result of some issue in the body. A root cause analysis needs to be done why corruption evolved, I guess need! Why need arises, because of ones being/existence. In the rat race of getting ahead of everyone and fulfilling ones needs, corruption often germinates in ones thought. Throughout the Anna agitation, I was thinking most people seem to miss the basic issue, corruption is a result of something, that needs to be tamed. Its a simple rule of demand-supply. Every one will say "child is Gods gift" so dont interfere! So have as many child as you like coz everyone loves gifts! Every life that is born, needs house, job, status etc and mind does not stop thinking! Some control and are unhappy most of the time and other who think they will get it at any cost sometimes cross the line. Thus corruption comes into picture.

Well, its about time! But the answer is not just population, corruption is the root cause. We need stricter laws to stop it.

are you talking about Pollution or Population? I miss read Title as Pollution & post ... my bad :(
 
Re: Major problems in India - Polulation related! What do you say?

Instead of banning everyone from having children, link it to income.

Like, < Rs 5lpa : 1child

5lpa to 15 lpa: 2children

15+ : no limit

Or something like that.

The income should be determined on the basis of Income tax paid.

Will solve 2 problems in 1 go.

Also,give those eligible for children but not having children a tax rebate

So you are basically saying poor people should not have children.

People who need assistance from the country to raise children should have limited children.

btw, the rupee values I have used are totally arbitrary
 
Re: Major problems in India - Polulation related! What do you say?

Its not a bad idea, regarding akash's decision, but it could raise the levels of female foeticide in india. But there needs to be an upper ceiling! Also, all the kids should have RTE, irrespective of their parents income.
 
Re: Major problems in India - Polulation related! What do you say?

India currently faces approximately “… 33 births a minute, 2,000 an hour, 48,000 a day, which calculates to nearly 12 million a year”. Unfortunately, the resources do not increase as the population increases. Instead the resources keep decreasing, leading to making survival for a human being more and more competitive even for the basic necessities of life like food, clothing and shelter.

The people, who have to struggle to make two ends meet produce more children because more children mean more earning hands.Also, due to poverty, the infant mortality rate among such families is higher due to the lack of facilities like food and medical resources. Thus, they produce more children assuming that not all of them would be able to survive. The end result is a mounting increase in the population size of India. Due to the increase in population, the problems of scarce resources, jobs, and poverty increases. Thus the cycle continues leading to an ever-increasing population that we see today. This cycle in fact might be considered as a positive feedback, in that the increase in one results in the increase of the other factor. As the poverty and the population both increase, the development of the country and the society seems even more far-fetched.

First off, this is a purely hypothetical discussion considering that such a measure will NEVER be adopted in India or in many other countries in the world and so thinking in terms of real world implementation of what would be a super sensitive issue is probably useless.

That said, imo only persons who can demonstrate an ability/willingness to provide for a child in the future should be allowed to have a child, which includes but goes beyond just the monetary aspect. Your question could be turned around to "is it alright to condemn a child to a life of neglect/poverty/abuse with no consequence to the parents"? Especially when overpopulation is one of the reasons why our country is so poor in the first place. The baseline in terms of money can be kept quite low coz the govt and other organizations are there to offer assistance to provide for housing/education/healthcare and so on as long as the people are able to access them. However, a person involved in a drunk driving accident not in a program like AA or a criminal currently serving time for example are people who regardless of their wealth should not be allowed to have a child.

@op

go to the first post -> edit post---> go advanced---> change your title . your title is misleading
 
Re: Major problems in India - Polulation related! What do you say?

:lol: This is not China where Govt. can pass an order restricting no. of children. If they try to pass such a bill then the govt. wont come to power next time. So noone would even mull over it.
It also has its advantages. China's avg. age is rapidly increasing due to their policy whereas our avg. population age is much younger.
Mostly in BPL more the no. of children, more the no. of bread winners (child labor) But IMO too max. allowed should be 3 with few exceptions.
