以下是印度时报读者的评论： Viresh Tiwari South Asia will have double the population of the world in a few decades if this trend continues. Bharat needs population control laws immediately. 如果这种趋势继续下去，南亚的人口将在几十年内增加一倍。印度需要立即制定人口控制法。 Muralidhar Average Hindu Fertility rate is 1.9 kids per couple. So its decreasing. Average Muslim Fertility Rate is 2.4 per couple. So its increasing. 在印度，印度教徒的平均生育率为每对夫妇1.9个孩子，，所以印度教徒的人口在减少。msl的平均生育率为每对夫妇2.4，人口在增加。 Balachandran Nair Well, population is to be regulated according to our resources 嗯，人口是根据我们的资源来调节的 selvakathirvel India is in urgent need of controlling its population. All the natural resourses are strained to it peak. 印度迫切需要控制人口。所有的自然资源都很紧张 Balachandran Nair V I think our population is coming under control, what we need to stop is illegal migration from other countries 我认为我们的人口正在得到控制，我们需要阻止的是来自其他国家的非法移民 Imbachcha Even we have examples from Europe, Japan and China still you are thinking to reduce population. Population will be in control naturally by other factors like education, cost of living etc. If you force it to reduce same will happen what's happening to countries like China. Even they can tomorrow mandate to have atleast 2 children but india can't do such things. 我们有来自欧洲、日本和中国的前车之鉴了，你仍然在呼吁减少人口。教育水平上去了、生活成本上去了，等其他因素，人口自然会得到控制。如果你强迫人口减少，就会步中国的后尘。毕竟他们明天也可以出台法规，强制要求至少生两个孩子，而印度做不到这点 Raju china’s decline is excellent news for the world . 他们的衰落对世界来说是个好消息。 User Tewari Bharat needs population control. If polices based around incentives aren't working then stringent law. I understand, there will be people start crying foul to it, but some strict actions are required. 印度应当控制人口。若控制人口的政策不起作用，那么就制定严格的计生法律。我理解，会有人开始抗议，但我们得采取一些严厉的行动。 Balachandran Nair Yes, we need ro regulate our population and stop illegal migration 是的，我们需要规范人口，阻止非法移民的入境 Manoranjan Dutta China has successfully enforced one child policy and strict immigration to achieve the negative growth rate. They can boost the population growth by encouraging citizens to produce more children. However in India most people are still producing more than 2 children and illegal immigration is going on without any check. 中国成功地实施了独生子女政策和严格的移民政策，造成人口负增长。 不过，他们可以通过鼓励公民生育更多的孩子来促进人口增长。然而，在印度，大多数人仍在生2个以上的孩子，非法移民仍在继续入境，没有任何限制。 Balachandran Nair V Now they are facing a steady decline in population 现在他们面临着人口的稳步下降 sujith somasundaram Not only that most young generation in China and west don’t want to have kids for lot of reasons. On the other hand people in India have kids even if the couple doesn’t want to have kids. Many people have kids due to family and soceital pressure 不仅如此，中国和西方的大多数年轻一代出于种种原因不想生孩子。另一方面，即使印度夫妇不想生孩子，他们也不得不生孩子。许多人在家庭和社会压力之下而选择生孩子 Patriot |
