  9. Population Explosion in India India currently faces a vicious cycle of population explosion and poverty. India, being a developing country, has had to face several economic and political challenges. According to Geography.com.sg, “India's population hit 1 billion in May 2000, increasing the urgency for the country to moderate its population growth.”

  10. Reasons for Population explosion • The increase in birth rates are due to medical improvements • The decrease in death rates are due to better medical facilities and advancements in the field of medicine. • Immigration to a better developed India because: job opportunities or fleeing war and natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes.
