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.
