Big population a boon or bane

It would definitely have been a boon...provided the concept of individual-responsiblity would have existed in our society........but to say of today...its a BANE......

Hello Babu, More population more problem only. Certainly we should control this.

Certainly bane.After 60 years of Independence we are still starving for food and water.We can not manage our systems.Don't you think that it is shameful.What is a reason for this?

As per the comments received for boon support, we must have become super power.More the heads.more the brains.more the hands.more the lab our,more the competition ,this is good for imagining and writing purpose but in real life it is dangerous.How many from us win a gold medal in Olympic? The reason is that our child,our youth are underfeeding.Only 10%of our populations can manage to take healthy food and remains fit for work or sports.

  For arguments sake we can create any global picture of growth but ask ourselves what we have achieved so far and what we have contributed for the world?

Big population leads to diminishing agricultural land and natural resources of the country.

High population can not be boon since we have limited natural resources on the earth. This is clear because today we do not have enough jobs for educated and non-educated youth, resulting in daily loot , murders, kidnapping and arson. The life pf people has become totally insecure. People have forgotten their close relations for their own survival. The lives of senior citizens is at stake. Anyhow we have to control the population growth in our country because even today the people do not have a land to have their own house. Own house means own, if you live a a high rise flate, today you do not have the place even to stand on the roads in big cities.

Bane for human and boon for politician.

BOON IF YOU CAN HARNESS THE POTENTIAL OF A OVER 54% YOUNG POPULATION......BANE IF YOU OVERLOOK THE SAME IN FACE OF PERSONAL GREED AND I GIVE A FUCK ATTITUDE.

THEN BE READY FOR NAXALITE MOVEMENT  & KASHMIR UNREST SPREADING CROSS PAN-INDIA.

ITS A HISTORICAL FACT THAT INDIANS HAVE ALWAYS LACKED A VISION FOR THEIR COUNTRY..LET'S NOT FORGET CHANAKYA WAS THE FIRST TO TELL US  IN 1400 THAT RAJYA AND GANRAJYA HAVE NO SYNERGY SO HOW CAN YOU FIGHT THE ENEMY...........THE BRITISH READ,UNDERSTOOD AND USED  CHANAKYA 'S WRITING BY RULING THE COUNTRY FOR 500 YEARS AND LEFT US DIVIDED TILL TODAY.

MORE CAN BE MERRYFUL IF YOU KNOW HOW TO HARNESS AND NOT FOLLOW THE PRINCIPLE OF DIVIDE AND RULE..SANJAY SINGHAL

Though there may be some good in it being a "Boon" there is a lot that goes against having a large population, thus making it a "Bane".

Large population puts lots of strain on lots of things, the first being

1. "Nature" and environment.

2. "Natural Resources" of the country.

3. Difficult for government to provide basic health facilities, good education, etc.

4. Proper transportation and other infrastructure facilities.

Moreover, the standard of living goes down by proliferation of slums in all cities.
