India also wanted to introduce two-child policy but we looked at the existing problem with China and backed off ( fortunately ) .
Also the fertility rate is around 2.2 in India right now ( 2.1 is the rate of replacement ) so we don't need any policy in this front for now .

India is one of the areas that is destined to keep growing along with Nigeria.
They will be the two most populous according to researchers expectations.
Of course, that could change as the country gets wealthier. That tends to diminish growth rates of population since people have more options and focuses.

Yeah ? But a recent forecast predicted that from 2050 Indian population will start declining and by 2100 we will be less than a billion .
Right now we are 1.3B .

Yeah China is set to lose about 500 million people by 2100. They are going to peak in the next few years so they are about 25 years ahead of India.
It is bound to happen. As populations grow and countries get wealthier, the number of children decline. This happens all over the world.
So the fear of overpopulation, in the next 20-25 years, the mantra will be the fear of underpopulation and there wont be enough people for us to survive as a species.

Yeah when the survey results were announced , they tied the population / fertility rate to two things .
The more educated a woman is the less number of children she will have .
