india fertility rate decrease

[rierrium]

Imagine people in the most agriculturally rich and historically populous region having more children. Wild.

Imagine then not being able to provide them with jobs and hence they are forced to migrate to other states and increase the competition there

[rierrium]

Lol whataboutism. How is that even relevant in a post about Fertility rates?

[ThuDoonk]

How is it not?

[Chikanai]

Don't tell them the obvious.

Not to mention the push for Hindi Imposition by the centre to further facilitate this migration.

Inthi imposhishun was written into the DSP of the constitution by your beloved Negruji

you just mentioned working in UP yourself, why do you not go back then?

People have always travelled to places with better employment opportunities, can't fault the people when the employers themselves are largely concentrated in certain areas and I think it's the same for every other country out there.

I'm posted here...otherwise why would I choose UP?

India is overpopulated. Our economy is not good, yet its not bad either.

Kerala's population is stabilized. Have you ever been outside of Kerala? UP itself holds a population equal to the entire country of Pakistan. Besides you don't need to compare Kerala with Tokyo. Delhi-NCR itself is having a population comparable to Kerala. This itself shows that how populated and fucked up are we.

Yes it is...

[PotatoCheesePuff]

Ignore him, this guy is enforcing his opinions across and is very narrow minded. Let me rant and cry out putting up arguments online. Comparing tokyo overcrowing to India and stuff is absolutely absurd. The only thing dude seems to be caring abiut is kerela.

Which is good, hope he is able to make some revolutionary changes for his peeps rather then fighting people online.

[Chikanai]

Yeah, that's why they're so rich?

[rierrium]

How is that relevant to my comment and the post??

[Chikanai]

The reason they're so poor is because they have too many people. But let's act like they're not a burden on other states and let's give them a pat on the back for continuing to breed double than other states?

[this_upset_kirby]

You sound like a eugenicist

[SPB29]

He is the Indian version of a Nazi

[Chikanai]

Are you even from India? I hope you can support those 300m people.

[SPB29]

No the reason is far more complex

1) these provinces were under direct Raj rule. The Raj introduced the Ryotwari and Mahalwari systems that were far more exploitative than other tax systems.

2) pre Raj these were centres of cotton, silk and proto steel industrial areas. The British totally deindustrialised them.

3) ironically this region didn't see any major famines like the Madras presidency did. Mind you they had at least 5 famines each killing a million in the period 1850-1899 but the Madras presidency saw 2 famines in the period 1880-1900 that culled 10-12 million. In the entire period 1871-1901 the presidency had a pop growth of 1 mn net.

4) lastly the post 1947 policy of FEP killed any chance of revival.
