India has had some major efforts at population control, but not as aggresive as China was. India seems to be planning a slightly different path than China. Looks like they will try to avoid competing directly with China, and leverage some of their advantages, like a large English speaking population.

Yiwu populations are irrelevant. Freedom drives wealth. There are rich small countries such as Luxembourg and rich big ones such as the USA. There are rich middle-sized countries too. There are poor big countries, such as India, and poor small ones such as Fiji and poor middle sized ones. Population is almost irrelevant. It's the economic and personal freedom which matters, which means private property, free capital, security, civilization and little bureaucratic red tape and suffocation. India needs to worry about freedom - people will look after population themselves. If they want to have children they will, if they don't, they won't. Simple really. Line up the wealthy countries and see what they have in common. It's not population. That's my theory anyway, Mqurice
