We Indians always tend to under rate ourselves.. West to us is for us to admire and emulate. Westerners too think that we are still very backward in all respects in spite of our glorious past. This can only be reversed if we change our attitude drastically and realise that we were a great nation and can still be if we get together and try sincerely. For us the Guiding line is VASUDAIVAKUTUMBAM.

Hi, u r absolutely right about india .but u thought why indians most tolerated people.about 80% indians are hindus in religion. In hinduism non violence is major trust. Non violence with humans and non violence with animals also.due to this fact most of people of india are vegetarian. Fact that 70% vegetarian people of the whole world lives only in india.

To justify high number of crimes ( rapes, murders etc ) and deaths ( in road accidents, infant mortalities etc ) under the pretext of mammoth population is simply PATHETIC and WOEFUL !!

Nobody/nothing is stopping us from ruthlessly and effectively controlling our own population and achieving reduction in these highly avoidable human tragedies , thereby also enhancing our National charactor and living standards !!

Political and Bureaucratic Inability ( viz total failure and cowardice of Leadership ) to control population should NEVER be the basis of feeling SMUG about our high volume of Dismal failures. Comparing such failures in a manner to suit us is nothing but ABJECT callousness !!

Thank you very much, Ms Wirth, for your article.
A very different perspective on population density than we see usually. The interesting thing here is the very negative attitudes to India in almost any press worldwide. I wonder why this is so? Do you think that this could be because of some specific characterestics of Indian personal behaviour?
I have often wondered.
On another point – your analysis about the changing nature of the Indian connectivity with theeir roots – absolutely right.
What this will do to their relationship with the animals and their holistic thinking on life – I shudder to think on what it will be 20 years hence.

Excellent article and a big slap to main stream media blowing out of proportions and in that selectively hiding some and 24×7 broad casting some other. For appeasing vote bank/politics.

Thanks for the link. Yes, US would not be able to manage a United States of all Americas with its (only) 824 million people in North and South America.
India has 400 million more people at present (it changes rapidly). However, Perkovich fails to mention that the area of the Americas is about 10 times the size of India.
The lack of space is already a big problem in India.

Because Indian media and english literate suffer a deep inferiority complex, vis-a-vis west. And they want to be see holding western values and the outrage, but the fact remains, that these people are undereducated and mentally colonized.
