India, in a way, is approaching Malthusian limits, is approaching it now, has approached them in the past, and will certainly arrive at them in the future.  The only thing preventing this is the huge death rate, which is ferocious.


 


I am not, certainly not, advocating death.  But if more people are to survive, then there must be fewer born.


 


We are talking about a lifeboat mentality here - the more people there are in any one environment, then the less there will be of individual freedoms.


 


The quantity of life mitigates against the quality of life.
