Question
India is not going through a population explosion.
✓
Answer
No, I do not agree with the statement.
India is going through a population explosion because, in the post-independence period, the death rate has been falling rapidly while the birth rate is falling slowly. So survival rate is high.
India’s population is growing at an alarming rate.
India is the second most populated country in the world.
In 1951, India’s population was 36.1 crores which have increased more than 3 times in 2011 to 121.02 crores. That is why the post-1951 period is described as a period of population explosion.
