One child policy : solution of growing population ??

The census results are out, and the figure give the environmentalists the same shock as a student get when he sees his AIEEE rank. Both just pray to have got lesser number of digits than the actual ones. So we are 121 crores now. It seems huge, and we are chasing China very fast who is still on the top with 134 crores. So finally India will top at least one list. A list on which every countries wish to remain on the bottom side.

Now, we Indians have a tendency to waste all our energy and time on discussing only the problems. So I won’t get into the detail of the catastrophic effect of growing population. Lets discuss the solutions. Now the question arises, do we have any possible solution to almost nullify our growing population rate?

“ bacche 2 hi acche”, the quote which I guess must have formed before lalu prasad came into the politics is still well known, but has it been implemented effectively. People back in 80s wouldn’t have thought that in future, even the basic commodities would become out of reach of normal person. Price rise will broke even the records of DU cut offs. Its ok, they were lacking the sources of entertainment that we enjoy but it I never understand why they started factories of children. 7 to 10 children a family, thank god now people plan children according to their annual income and budget.

So is the one child policy the correct solution. China has implemented it, and to a good extent it has controlled its population very well. It also has enough land to accommodate all. Now leave all this statistics and imagine your life without your brothers and sisters. No one to fight with, no one to compete with, no one to hug in your success, no one to give your shoulders to cry on.

Every child whether animals or human first compete with their siblings to grow stronger and learn. We all had competed with our brothers and sisters in everything. Every piece of chocolate, every toy, clothes and the comparison of every performance in school. The achievements of our brothers and sisters always compelled us to work hard. The mistakes of our elder siblings told us what not to do and we always guided the younger ones. We never had to search someone to play cards, crickets or other outdoor games. There is no fun in eating the pizza alone, you must have your siblings to fight for every single piece, and the feeling of victory gives the real taste.

Alone child will never get full time and support of parents. He will felt alone and soon would come under obsession. Either he will become anti social or a computer geek. He’ll have no one to compete with, thus no sense of competition would generate in his mind. Neither he will have any one to give him emotional stability. So we may improve statistically but our social structure will collapse. We are already suffering from single-family problems now that family would loose its complete entity too. Guess better education and spreading more awareness and restrictions for the two child plans must be continued. We don’t want to have obsessed army of large old peoples after 50 years.
