I've been feeling sad thinking about how indians and chinese live in an overpopulated, overpolluted environment and have to deal with that everyday of their lives while having reached a point of no return, if Europe hadn't elevated medicine standards so much that wouldn't have happened and people would be forced to comply with epidemics and famine that would bring populations to a balance, now that's sadly not going to happen anymore ((Or perhaps they are already planning to do something like that based on mass sterilization by creating some new plague and developing a medicine for it)) and these countries will inflate more and more with no sign of stopping until the other countries that are already ((controlled)) feel "forced" to open borders for many to come due to the dimming hope of averting catastrophic global warming, since at 1.5 degrees of warming, small islands and major coastal metropoles like New York City, Mumbai and Jakarta risk disastrous flooding without costly sea barriers, which is going to happen in 2030)
What do you guys think? There is indeed a lot of famine and poverty in Africa, but with the right population control and improving education levels, you can fix it. What about these overpopulated countries? There's nothing much you can do.

You really can only fix this with: 1. Culture, change religion and perception of how to live a good life. Make people have fewer kids. 2. Promote safe sex, subsidise condoms. Supplement this with education. HOWEVER: This is only possible with 1st world aid, as these governments wouldn't suddenly make these changes now.

>Is there any way to fix the overpopulation problems in India and China?
Let them immigrate to North America and Europe until their numbers are reduced to sustainable levels in those countries.
>if Europe hadn’t Not really TBQH, Indian population boomed during the Mughal Empire because of proto-industrialization and agrarian reforms. The British Raj actually reduced the population more than it increased it due to the amount of famines it caused.
I don’t buy the “overpopulation” BS, the moment you drive out of Bombay there’s literally nothing, just vast lands of nothingness, maybe a few farmlands but it’s just the road. Also pic related looks from Bangladesh.
Besides, in terms of arable land, we’re only behind the United States (174 vs 150 million hectares).
Sterilization already happened, it bought down the fertility to 2.2 in 2018 for India, likely below 2 by 2024-5.
China’s TFR is even lower, at 1.57.

This would be the amount of area required for fitting 1.32 billion people if the region was to be as dense as Bombay.
Overpopulation will be a massive problem in 50 Years.

>India overpopulation. Posts a picture of Bangladesh.

I don't know user, I think your country is pretty overpopulated, just look at all these pics of India.
Whether you are in a metro station, airport, railway station, road, highway, bus stop, hospital, shopping mall, market, temple, or even in a social/ religious gathering, you see all these places are overcrowded at any time of the day. This is a clear indication of overpopulation in the country.
The shortage of basic amenites like houses, water, food, electricity and many more tell the tale.

It actually isn’t in a traditional sense. It’s like the EU decided to become a country. I know about Tamils, Telegus, Kannada and Sikkimese as much as you do. They’ve their own scriptures, history as various empires, and a completely different religion even though it’s all “Hinduism” to foreigners. The language they speak doesn’t even belong in the same branch as mine, Tamil is as intelligible to me as Chinese.
Prevent migration and it solves itself. Don't prevent migration the problem spreads.

always blew my mind that there is a link between fucking Sanskrit and German
Xavier Reyes
But there is almost no link between Sanskrit and Tamil.
Tbh we should become like the EU, or at least federalize like the US, makes administration easier since now you have smaller regions to govern on our own along with a bigger government who you can rely on if things go wrong, especially for defence.
