> Arun, the debating point was to demonstrate the paucity of the idea that having more people makes things better per person. While wealth is to a large extent a function of talent and effort, there is still the limited supply of natural resources such as low cost water supplies, spectrum, clean air, fish in the sea and wild forests to wander in and enjoy in peace and quiet>

Indians are pretty much vegetarian. There is plenty of fish around the Indian coast. While 100 million japanese have overfished the world's oceans.

1 billion indians use only 20 percent of petroleum compared to 300 million americans. And 5 years ago it was only 10 percent.

There are about 1 billion cell phones in india, and the cost of service is about $10 per month with unlimited incoming calls.

Air is clean except for major cities. Water is dirty everywhere. More of a management and political problem rather than a cost or technical feasibility issue. Most middle class now buy bottled water when traveling.
