Fellas !! Ever heard the story of a lumberjack and family, how he have 4 kids
and he assigns work to cut down trees, well the point was however to give a
message about Unity in Diversity in this story but my point is 4 kids (That’s a
lot to handle, practically). Then I remember one of Ex Chief Minister from
India, is holding up a whole sport team of 11 members (Including him and his
wife). The lumberjack becomes reasonable now; I hope you already figured the
point of the above weird story.
I am pointing at the
country with world’s second largest population i.e. India; In my previous blog
I mentioned how it is a tuff task for government to administer such a big crowd
and so are the gatherings.

Wonders
India is diversified
country with a total area of 32,87,263 sq.km with two states contributing to
about 25 % of nation’s total population (Uttar Pradesh -16 % and Maharashtra –
10%). However it is important to know that the country with second largest
population has least number of prisoners (boiled my Mind).
As per a study
(tailored in many newspapers) Indian population if managed properly would help
India become a developed country with lots of countries investing In ; Reason
given is the age group .As already mentioned above that more than 40% of the population
is coming under the ambit of a working young age and India already tops the
world of Engineering and Mathematics (George Bush once said in a high school
“Study or Indian would take your jobs” (Not sure if these are the exact words
but means the same).
India has been invaded
over the years by many countries including British, Mughals, Iranians etc
leaving behind cultural changes and archeological wonders. India is home to
almost every possible religion in this world.
It caters around 82% of
the Hindu population and yet is home to more than 120 millions of Muslims (One
of the largest religion by group in a country by Count.
Also another thing that
amuses me is the magnitude of the Indian population increase is around the
total population of Australia.
But as we know with
great powers comes great electricity Bill, we will discuss the problem the
country faces because of its population in our upcoming blog. Stay Tuned…
