[history] Congratulations or reconciliations world. We have reached over 8.2 billion population.

@Longpatrol they recently dropped the population control because they are afraid of India which surpassed them in population.

India is the main problem now. Not China.

@DeWayfarer That's true. The'll probably hit 1.7-1.8 billion before their burgeoning middle class reduces the birth rate.

@Longpatrol as long as they hold onto the caste system, the middle class will have no effect. The population boom always was with the poor, that had absolutely no education because of their caste.

It goes hand in hand. No education, no getting out of the untouchable class. They are untouchable.

They can't keep an accurate count of them. No body wants to be around them.
