Population in India - Is it Good or Bad for the 5th Largest Economy?

Population refers to the total number of humans, animals, or plants inhabiting a particular place, region, state or country. According to the United Nations Population Report, India is expected to surpass China to become the most populous country by the middle of this year, with an overwhelming population of 1.42 billion. This essay will list some of the many merits that the fifth-largest economy and the world's largest democracy can have with this large population.


People are the backbone of a nation. A decreasing population is often disastrous and is one of the main faction that leads to the collapse of the nation. On the other hand, a larger population is not a burden but an important asset for the country. They can boost the economy, generate new innovative ideas, bring in foreign investments, and spread the culture to other regions. If there are more people, they will compete with each other for jobs and work to improve their skills and knowledge thus the country will have skilled workers ready to compete at the national as well as international level. Some will prefer to start a business, which will bring foreign investments. Some will join research institutions or start their own, which will help in the overall development of mankind. When there is a large number of people, they will also spend money, which will improve the economy. A large population means cheap labour which will attract foreign companies to set up manufacturing plants in the country. A large population means that a large number of films, books, magazines, and newspapers will be produced which will spread the culture and glorify the country's achievements.


Government tends to build infrastructure where several people are living. A large population means more infrastructure projects, more schools, more hospitals, and more urban cities, thus modernizing the country. According to Elon Musk, the world's second richest person, the population of eight billion is not enough if humans want to become interplanetary species. He is indeed right. Increasing population comes with a hundred problems but it also comes with a thousand benefits.

Class 11th Final Term Maths Test

Image
It was a few days ago when my class teacher announced that the following week class tests will be conducted. It did not caught us out of blue as we had already expected it, but the thing that surprised us was the syllabus and schedule for the test. We had no breaks between the tests since the school decided to conduct all the tests in a single week. Somedays we had to prepare for two subjects.  The syllabus was so vast that it was almost impossible to cover in a few days. All the main subjects including Physics, Chemistry and Maths had 2 chapters and these were the chapters that I had never even read before. There was a chapters in Maths called Limits and Derivatives, which I was hearing about for the first time. When I first opened my Maths book and looked at the chapter, it almost panicked me. There were all types of new symbols and strange equations which I had no idea how to solve. I decided it would be a waste of time to understand this completely new chapter all by myself, so...

Narrate an experience that shows appearances can be deceiving

Image
A person standing in the railway station dressed in a good looking attire It is a common habit of humans to make judgements at the first look. It does not matter if we are seeing a person or a thing for the first time, our minds do not need to take a second look before coming to a judgement. If we look at a person, we quickly look at his clothes and shoes and come to the assumption that he is poor or rich. The same is the case with things, we decide for ourselves whether a substance is expensive or cheap just by its glittering and glistening. Over time, many learned personalities have taught us to "not judge a book by its cover." Through his various plays and writing, William Shakespeare, the popular eighteenth-century English writer, has sent the message to not fall for outward appearances. I have recently expereinced an incident that explains why is it important to not rely on just outward appearances to make a judgement about a person. I was travelling by train during my s...

Abhisara - the Tryst Notes

Image
Upagupta, the disciple of Buddha, lay asleep in the dust by thr city wall of Mathura. Lamps were all out, doors were all shut, ans stars were all hidden by the murky sky of August. Whose feet were those tinkling with anklets, touching his breast of a sudden? He woke up startled, and the light from a woman's lamp fell on his forgiving eyes. It was Vasavadatta the dancing girl, starred with jewels, Clouded with a pale blue mantle, drunk with the wine of her youth. She lowered her lamp and saw the young face, austerely beautiful. 'Forgive me, young ascetic,' said the woman, 'Graciously come to my house. The dusty earth is not a fit bed for you.' The young ascetic answered, 'Woman, go on your way; When the time is ripe I will come to you.' Suddenly the black night showed its teeth in a flash of lightning.  The storm growled from the corner of the sky, and the woman trembled in fear. A year had not yet passed. It was eveing of a day in April, in the Spring. The b...

If you could jump into the world of any book and spend a day with the characters, which book it would be and what character would you want to hang out with? Books are one of the greatest products that humanity has ever created by incorporating their intelligence and creativity. Books are not only a source of vast knowledge in our hands, but they also provide entertainment. There are various types and genres of books available on the market. Whether it is the fiction books or the non-fiction ones, it is the skills and style of the author that makes the reading interesting and often productive too. Books have always been regarded as the key that open the gates to wonders and fantasy in the minds of children as well as adults. When someone picks up a well written book, then age becomes a number in actual ways as old as well as young experience the same joy and feels the same ecstasy. There are uncountable books to choose from, but the one I like the most is “400 Days” by Chetan Bhagat. Th...

Duncan asks from his servants who the bleeding man is and concludes from his condition that he is in condition to report the latest developments of the revolt. "Who like a good and hardy soldier fought 'gainst my captivity" Malcolm, the elder son of the king, answers his father and tells him that the bleeding man is a sergeant, who fought to prevent him from being taken as a war prisoner.  "Doubtful it stood" The battlefield stood doubtful. It was difficult to say which side was winning as the soldiers from both sides were tired and as two swimmers who were exhausted holds onto each other so that neither can swim, the soldiers held each other making it impossible for either of them to win.

One word Essay: Adventure

One word Essay: Adventure The word adventure, which suddenly cause one to feel excited, upon hearing usually describes an experience or an activity which is particularly dangerous or filled with excitement.

For some hiking on a mountain may be adventurous, and for others taking part in dangerous activities and games might be adventurous.
