Currently India holds the worlds second largest population, with a population size of around 1,210,000,000. India's population grew above the 1 billion mark in the year 2000, this was at the same time as when the worlds population grew to an astonishing 6 billion people. It is said by demographers that India's population is expected to raise above the most populated county in the world (China) in the year 2030. The actual projected population number is expected to be around 1.53 billion whilst China's population is expected to peak at around the 1.43 billion mark. This is a substantial population size, unlike any ever seen before. India's current population holds around 17% of the entire worlds population.
1947 India gained independance from the United Kingdom and at this time had about 350 million people and since India gained their independance their population had tripled. India has a 17.64 growth rate and still maintains this.
This video is explaining how India's population has grown a substatial amount since 1991.
This video is showing us how India's population is expected to surpass that of China by 2030, yet showing this is a burden because of the high illiteracy rates in the country and also the fact of the massive unemployment.
