Counterintuitive Reasons for India's Overpopulation - Why It's The Most Populated Country? FutureIQ

Three distinct things explain the overpopulation of India in the 21st century. The population of a country has a lot more to do with geography than any other factor. Let’s analyze the history and geography of our beloved nation to understand the causes of it being overcrowded. Understand what makes India the most populous country in the world.

Lovely episode! Can't praise you guys enough. Very well articulated by Naveen and perfect reactions and questions by Shrikant that make the topic relatable and engaging.

With regard to population you are not completely correct.Well Europeans were also breeding a lot few hundred years ago. But they migrated and occupied Americas, Australia, New Zealand,parts of Africa. Let us put all of them in Europe and see their population. While Indian migrated a few thousand year ago but then they were prohibited to cross the ocean.

Just a little correction sir, why compare present day China's territory while making a comparision with India's population. The population density of China wrt Ancient Qing dynasty's territory is pretty much the same as of India's. They too have all the necesaary condition such as natural defenses, great river systems, good climate and presence of big domesticable animal.

Most of Chinese people's lives in eastern part of country. in west their is Tibetan plateau, in north they have cold Manchuria and aired InnerMongolia and in north west they have Xinjiang autonomous region so basically only 25 persent of china is suitable for civilization. They also have lots rivers originated from Tibeta. Yangtze river almost 2 time longer than Ganga river and there East coastal area have most of people's and it's recived high rainfall so basically they are more densely populated then India 😅😅😅😅

I loved the episode very much. China's population though is not equally distributed. It is similar to how India's population is fed. The concentration is in the East and South China diagonally. This area is richly fed with rivers and plains. The west is Tibetan plateau, north is Gobi desert and also it gets more colder as you go north.

[@preethamrangaswamy7371]

[@debprasadchoudhury1749]

Contrary to what you say, moist air from the part of the atmosphere lying above the seas and oceans is driven inland due to heating of the air above the land resulting it to rise up creating a partial vacuum over the land which sucks the moist air above the oceans. Of course the oceans are playing the crucia rule as you said rightly.

It is theorized that lack of large domesticated animals is also the reason for native American civilizations' downfall after the arrival of Europeans. Majority of native Americans perished due to communicable diseases like small pox when they came in contact with the Europeans. Have you ever wondered why Europeans also did not get infected by any new disease in reverse from native Americans? Because Europeans had exposure to large domesticated animals from which over long time they had got inoculated from various micro organisms. Native Americans never had that chance as Americas didn't have any large animal (except llamas) to domesticate .

[@TheFutureIQ]

Yes, lack of cows and horses in the Americas is considered one of the important reasons why the Europeans overpowered them. -navin

[@AminaPhilosophy]

Weren’t there buffalo?

[@JaagUthaHaivaan]

@@AminaPhilosophy If you mean Bison or American Buffaloes, they are wild and can't be domesticated (just like dogs can be domesticated, but wolves can never be domesticated). So, native Americans had limited contacts with bisons (only during hunting). It generally takes a long-term contact for a virus/bacterium to jump from one species to another.

[@divinegoddesskriz]

Been enjoying the clips here except the part which claims America had no cattle. Yes they wouldn't have had the bulls or cows as we know from different parts of the world. But they had bison in the north for instance. They had mules and llamas and other types of herd animals such as mustangs indigenous to the region. Agreed totally with the latitude longitude issue which requires differing tech for agriculture. Potential fan here from malaysia. Keep it up but please avoid blanket claims about everything.

[@shailendradivedi]

Why cold water doesn't come from south pole?

[@TheFutureIQ]

That's a great question Shailendra and the answer is quite complex. In general, the oceans in the north are colder than the oceans in the south because the northern hemisphere has much more landmass so much less water. Thus, there is less water in the north to absorb sunlight and warm up. There are a bunch of other factors including the fact that the ocean currents in the Atlantic and Pacific are such that they encourage exchange of water with the Arctic whereas the currents in the Indian ocean isolate it from the Southern Ocean.

[@corpsertag5967]

We can easily conclude that Overpopulation is the cause of human extinction in the future. Imagine a virus taking over the planet and multiplying like crazy... Humans are 8.2 Billion and growing... Even many animals and birds aren't as many. Mindlessly pumping out children and then complaining about their problems in life is ridiculous.

India not only puts hurdles in the way of foreign investment they now also are taxing out of the 1.5 billion people the middle income 3% of eligible income tax base at the rate of 30%. So all the highly skilled high earners are leaving India for a better quality of life. The govt taxes like the Europeans but provides facilities like the Ugandans. Probably worse than Ugandans no offense to Uganda. Worst air quality, worst hygiene, no or shit public healthcare, overflowing public transport system, corrupt broken infrastructure, power cuts, water shortage, more than 10% inflation in urban areas while you play almost 45% taxes on all your income. If you want to start a business, pay a corporate tax of 25% and other kickbacks to local politicians. Its a dog eat dog dystopia. The government just cares about the GDP growth not the GDP per capita growth, the former can be flaunted in front of uneducated, unemployable, hyper emotional, hyper religious voters. I wonder how everything is still working and India is still growing.

Not just that... but depends on many factors such as social status, education level, etc. Example: Poor, uneducated people have 10 children while educated people have 2 to 3 max while very highly educated ( Phd. level ) people tend to have 1 or none. In my observation, they take up spirituality and monkhood coz they realized there is no purpose to life and bringing more children into this world is satisfying one's selfish pleasure at the expense of the pain and suffering of the child a couple produce.

One of my dear friend from one of the bimaru states of north India forwarded this video to me, I must say you guys too must be from the same bimaru region to come up with this random bs with no logic to back it up. Indian subcontinent's population has exploded ever since modern medicine and irrigation techniques were introduced here by the British which dramatically reduced the instances of deadly famines. We were a starving country during the time of lal bahadur shstri then came the era of green revolution (invented in the west) which made us self sustained while our population kept exploding like anything. Today India is barely 1/3 of China or US in terms of land area and hardly have any natural resources like those two giants yet we have become the most populous on planet which is terrible at so many levels. India has 18 per cent of the world's population but only 4% of its water resources, making it among the most water-stressed countries. 39 Of World's 50 Most Polluted Cities Are In India. Then you have over the top unemployment and never ending streaks of paper leaks, absolute circus clown politicians running the corrupt to the core system which was originally given by British only.
