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.

You are assuming there is such a thing as a "Malthusian limit" - the counter argument is that as a population grows and develops ways are found to increase the food supply - in other words the population and rate of economic development determine the food supply rather than the food supply determining the population.

India, together with China and Brazil, is one of the fastest developing economies in the world, as this development continues then not only will the food  supply increase but also the economic welfare of the ordinary citizen.  As development slows then the birth rate will start to fall.

This is what happened in Europe during the 19th and 20th centuries.
