India has the first highest population in the world!

What? It’s going to be true in a small time. I am just intimating you in advance!! What is it with Indians and excesses? I mean, food, is always in plenty, festivals, in plenty, number of government holidays in plenty, number of scams in all sectors in plenty. Yeah, we are plainly plentiful! I know I am not highlighting all the positive points like a proud Indian should. I am proud, believe me. But, you know, when you talk about your house, you don’t generally talk all the good points always. It’s your house; you have the right to say what you want to about it.

Yeah, so, back to the point. You know how it is with us all. The ultimate goal for each of us is to get “settled” in life. That might mean settled with a career choice, a profession, being married, bearing children, a way of life, etc. But yes, some rules are to be followed. You have to study, so that you can support your family in the future. You have to get married. Of course, you have to!! What do you mean why? Because that’s what everybody does. It is right. We have done it since centuries. You know that neighbor who hasn’t married at all and is 40 years old? I wonder what’s wrong with him!! He must have had some trauma in his life! Maybe he is jilted in love. Maybe he is suffering from some psychological trouble. Poor guy!

That’s the conclusion we come to isn’t it? It might only be that the guy isn’t really interested in marriage. How hard is it to understand that point! But yeah we are raised this way (atleast we marry and many are pretty faithful to their partners).

What next after marriage? Children. You should have children, that too right away!! Otherwise what’s the whole point of life? Haven’t we all heard this before?

So, yeah, our Constitution now states that one family should have one child to be a happy family. It is in the family welfare scheme provided by the Constitution. But, we know right we are billions already!! And all these schemes reach only the literate. Most of the large families are from the people of the low-income group plainly because they aren’t educated about the ways of family planning. Still, if each family has an additional child, many will definitely have 2 (some for the love of children and some because you have to have at least 2!!), we will be the world’s highest populated nation very soon!! We are a progressing nation indeed!! Take it or leave it, we are like this only.
