Dear Ghulam Nabi Azad Ji,
Greetings. This is a citizen of the magnificent nation India. This letter to you is not an act of condemnation; rather it is a true concern of a person who wants to draw your attention to the calamitous consequences of the ever burgeoning population of our country, which is often considered as an elephant in the room. Being the seventh-largest by geographical area, ours is the second-most populous country. Right from my childhood, I have been witnessing as well as suffering with its negative repercussions, which is not the case with me only, the effect affects one and all, to you too.
Numerous issues existing in daily life act as a hindrance in the path of his success, to his becoming a happy citizen. These issues altogether cost him of the most significant assets in life, i.e. time, health, money, etc. Even, his thinking ability is drastically affected as he is mostly engrossed in fighting with the sundry concerns. This leads to the overall loss of the nation also that of the mankind. That one baby, one child, one individual represents every citizen of our country. Now, imagine the loss incurred, integrated at a national level with more than 1.2 billion people.
For a mother, her love is same for her ten children as that for one or two. So, it’s better to enjoy smaller families. It’s my earnest request to you to form efficient policies, make stringent rules and check their implementation so that this rapid growing population can be arrested and even I humbly appeal to the ‘contributors’ to the same, to please co-operate so as to make our nation full of progress and prosperity. Also, let us not compete with China in terms of population, there exist sundry other fields to prove our ‘talent’ and our ‘potential’.
Jai Hind.
