However, for your first point- Forget the villagers, I was talking only about the "highly qualified lot" living in cities, who know the problems and yet aren't serious about it.<br />I don't see the point in your second one. :(<br />Third one- Of course, something I overlooked and I agree, it wouldn't work with them.<br />Fourth-I still stick by my point. A bit of shelter and clothing is always better than nothing. Yes, even if it means the children are treated as slaves.They are really in no better condition as it is!And laws change .. they have to don;t they?<br />And hmm... the US idea seems cool to me ;) But in India, do you seriously think it is due to lack of entertainment?? I think not for a majority of them.. <br />And I agree on the last part as well. Of course, even in my previous posts, I have mentioned that things cant change all at once but we need to start... atleast now! :)<br /><br />Thanks for the comments..keep them coming.<br /><br />cheers!Aeroyogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049329364974719022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561472923520411598.post-28328458131546004632010-11-11T02:30:24.593+05:302010-11-11T02:30:24.593+05:30You are certainly opinionated :)
Although the one...You are certainly opinionated :) <br />Although the one child per family concept may indeed serve to keep our population growth within the limits that our environment (and economy) can support, its implementation is certainly not straight forward. <br /><br />Firstly, in a country where children born in remote villages (or even not-so-remote villages) are not registered, and do not receive a birth certificate, how would this policy be enforced?<br /><br />Secondly, considering the fact that even though prenatal sex determination and foeticide are outlawed, centers do exist and foeticide continues to occur, why would someone follow such a rule?<br /><br />Thirdly, between the year 2000 and 2008, India had a cumulative untaxed capital of USD125b flowing abroad. No tax was paid on this income. A considerable part of the population does not pay taxes. A fraction pays taxes at their income source. The remaining evade taxation. How would a tax penalty be imposed on couples with more than one child? <br /><br />Fourth, Indian adoption laws allow for orphaned children to be adopted by families only when the family has been verified, and there is a reasonable assurance that the child will be assured her constitutional rights, will be nurtured and brought up with care. Adopting a child to receive tax benefits sounds preposterous to me. As someone earlier posted, the child may be ill treated. A roof over the child's head is no compensation for a wholesome childhood.<br /><br />I think it was in the 1960s, when the US was experiencing a surge in population as well. A policy was implemented to control the population growth. And it worked. The policy didn't put down regulations limiting a family to one child, or anything of the sort. <br /><br />The government distributed free television sets to couples. THeir research showed that the sudden population growth was largely due to the lack of entertainment amongst masses. :) More recently, a market research firm discovered that interesting late night television programmes have the same effect.<br /><br />Maybe the solution to the growth problem lies not in implementing flashy policies penalizing couples for procreating, but rather in getting the message across that there aren't resources left to support a surging population. <br />India is a country of scale. To see effects from a 1 billion strong population, one needs subtle measures, intended to show results over a 20 year timeline.<br /><br />SumeetSumeetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561472923520411598.post-82640934552457704642010-10-27T02:31:48.489+05:302010-10-27T02:31:48.489+05:30Thanks for the compliments. :) And I'm sorry, ...Thanks for the compliments. :) And I'm sorry, Anonymous, who? :P <br /><br />And I hardly think those with no offsprings would do such a thing cos they know the value of not having a child. May be what you said applies to those who have a child and then still adopt. But ofcourse adoption rules have to be set for that. Even if they didn't and those kids were treated like slaves, atleast they get a better shelter and prevents another addition to the census count! As it is they are in no better condition..<br /> And I completely agree on the part where we lack implementation. And when I mentioned Chinese policies, I meant the implementation part too. I am not saying that we should follow all their rules. They have an effective way to regulate population growth and we could take a cue from it. Of course India will not be able to sustain communist ideas. But as you pointed out, if we follow rules for once like the Chinese then our great plans can work, many issues can be resolved. <br />And that is for the higher level though, my main focus was on the "ordinary man". If every individual becomes responsible, the nation will fall on the right track on its own. Of course that is also difficult for such a huge country! :( But it has to begin somewhere and where else than home.. :)Aeroyogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049329364974719022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561472923520411598.post-67322422848170215822010-10-27T01:30:44.055+05:302010-10-27T01:30:44.055+05:30I must congratulate for such a good piece of writi...I must congratulate for such a good piece of writing. Nice job yaar. I'll just share a bit of my opinion on one of the issues mentioned in your writing. <br /><br />"No offsprings+adoption-No taxes!"... You know what people will do? They'll get orphans in their home and treat them like servants. Thats all. Thats what happens with all the rules in India. They are mutilated and the theme of a law gets disappeared totally. The only point I am trying to make is that we have quite good rules and solutions for all the problems and they well exist within our law system but the problem is associated with IMPLEMENTATION only. We lack the will to implement. Just nice planning and extremely poor implementation. Lack of planning and feedback to ensure things are going in the way they should. <br /><br />About China's policies, you surely don't want that system in India and neither any of us can tolerate it for a single moment. Talk to any Chinese friend and you will feel that too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561472923520411598.post-46164458425764336692010-10-02T22:07:53.681+05:302010-10-02T22:07:53.681+05:30Thanks..:)Thanks..:)Aeroyogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049329364974719022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561472923520411598.post-45191360597085972362010-10-01T09:07:52.397+05:302010-10-01T09:07:52.397+05:30first thing--> no u wont be called an 'outs...first thing--> no u wont be called an 'outsider'!

It is surely arguable but if I look at my grandpa's generation, then I think the avg. is 4-5 kids per couple... but if I look at my elder bros/sis generation then the avg comes down to 2... there is not even a single example exceeding this avg (remember my frame of reference)... so probably it will get better in future... it surely gonna take time in coping up with what is already done...but probably our generation do understand this !!Marutihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12587267377448177976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561472923520411598.post-36212227092573728232010-09-30T21:19:53.784+05:302010-09-30T21:19:53.784+05:30Hey Gaurav, of course I remember you! :) thanks a ...Hey Gaurav, of course I remember you! :) thanks a lot for reading and all those compliments..

The kind of language and the emotions you portray in your blogs is seriously ecstatic. I am really happy that someone is doing this from our community. [I am talking about the MVIT community :)]<br /><br />This blog said everything which was on my mind too.. I had a similar encounter when I came over here and I was unable to counter the complaints of those who have had a bad experience of the place. We eventually landed on the same result... "POPULATION"!!! <br /><br />I agree with all the points mentioned in the blog. The govt should take some stern steps to curb the exponential growth. I hope that it happens soon or else<br />'CHINA...
