We , Indians, now are a family of 121 crores now, as per the 2011 Census. Up by 17.64%.
Equal to a combined population of US, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Japan.
Some of my observations
1. Look it from other side, a deficit of 10%, since the GDP never grew by that percent in this period
2. It's a serious threat, courtesy- BPL figures :(
3. A nation can't sustain with an increasing topline when its bottom line doesn't complement it , assuming topline being the population, bottom line be the economic growth
4. Growth rate is less, not the number. 20% on 100 is 20 and 2% on 1000 is 20 as well. If the base would change, obviously percentage shall come down. On the quantity- we have risen to a higher number. Secondly- male to female ratio still a concern. Education is contributing- but with disparity of geography
