Religious Conversion And Infiltration From Nearby Nations Are To Blame For The Population Imbalance
Dattatreya Hosabale, general secretary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, stated on October 19 that undocumented migration from nearby nations and religious conversion were two factors contributing to India’s population imbalance.
On the final day of the national executive conference of the RSS in Prayagraj, Hosabale delivered the remarks. Speaking to the media, he added that throughout the four-day event, concerns about religious conversion in the nation were raised. The RSS, he continued, holds that anyone who switched from Hinduism to other religions should not be eligible for reservation benefits and has urged for strong legislation to outlaw such conversions.
The northern Bihar and northeastern states have been colonized by immigrants from Bangladesh and other nations. said Hosabale. There have been attempts to stop such migration, but their population has grown in other states as well.
A population policy should be developed and enforced consistently throughout all communities, according to the RSS head.
Hosabale added that the country’s youth population might be decreased by the population control measures already in place. According to Hosabale, the average size of a family has decreased from 3.4 to 1.9 in the last 10 to 20 years. As a result, we will observe a decline in the youth population and an increase in the population of older people in the next years.
After calling for a complete population control program that applies to everyone in his yearly Vijayadashmi speech, RSS head Mohan Bhagwat made his remarks in Hosabale.
India’s total fertility rate decreased from 2.2 in 2015–16 to 2.0 in 2019–21, according to the fifth round of the National Family Health Survey for 2019–21, demonstrating the great progress of population control measures.
