To the various political parties and central government departments on population management

Dear Sir,

Greetings of the day! I hope this letter finds you in  the best of health and spirits. You might be aware about me and my publications. In case you are not,  please find my profile attached with a complete list of publications. It is with great alarm and concern that I have noted the recent right-leaning and pronatalist tendencies regarding affairs pertaining to population matters. This may be in due to large part because birth rates are extremely low elsewhere, but in India birth rates are a respectable and decent 1.9 to 2.0 children per woman (Total fertility rates). There is also a myth of perfectly sustainable development as I have discussed several times, and there are many ways to deal with low fertility rates as I have discussed in depth in my publications and papers. It is also the quality of human resources that counts, and the government must make it a point to improve the quality of human resources for which I have made many recommendations. I have also spoken about an ideal total fertility rate of between 1.3 to 1.7 children per woman, as this will give society enough time to adjust to changing circumstances and scenarios. Even if birth rates fall lower than this, there may be very little we may be able to do other than to adopt altered population management strategies. Many, if not most nations with low fertility rates are doing very well economically while many countries with high birth rates are floundering such as those in Sub-Saharan Africa. We need to take into account and consideration the long-term survival of the human species too. This is extremely important, and must take precedence over everything else in the real world.
