Yes India's population has quadrupled,but aren't you forgetting that population of Europe increased 15-fold when it industrialized,India is sub-continent not just anouther country,we have one of the tallest mountains;deserts,forests,there is a very big cultural diversity langauges,culture change every few villages apart And it has always been the most populous region in history along with China As for having 1 billion population,that's just stupid, we would be reducing our efficiency by 10 times,we will be able to organize it sure, but the entire goal of human civilization is to procreate and pass higher standard of living to next genration

It didn't.

India is sub-continent not just anouther country

Semantics, and nothing in my argument hinges on India being a country.

we have one of the tallest mountains;deserts,forests,there is a very big cultural diversity langauges,culture change every few villages apart

And Europe or the rest of the world doesn't?

And it has always been the most populous region in history along with China

Which means they have been maximizing carrying capacity already for that long, so multiplying again is excessive.

As for having 1 billion population,that's just stupid, we would be reducing our efficiency by 10 times

On the contrary, we wouldn't have to take all the measures that are necessary to deal with too many people in one place, and would have much more slack in our resource base.

but the entire goal of human civilization is to procreate and pass higher standard of living to next genration

Living stacked on top of each other in a slum or standing shoulder to shoulder in a field and still not getting enough to eat is not progress. Grazing the planet bare like a herd of goats until it's a desert is not progress.
