3+ kids anybody?

Does it make sense for India to limit on the number of kids that Indians can have? Why did we come up with "We two, ours two", when there are particular communities that are bent upon breeding like rabbits?

And why is that family's which can very well afford to have more than one, don't? Especially with the amount of growth that Muslims seems to be having in their numbers (illegal immigrations contributes too), why is that only the Hindu families limit the number of their off-springs?

Some of the reasons that I can come up with at the drop off a hat -
  • Loss of career for the women
  • Affordability
  • Time - Early marriage becomes a requirement
  • Health concerns (for women)
Of course most of these are concerns for women and women alone. Especially with the ratio of women to men so reduced today, taking the number of women who do not want to get married and the number that marry 'out of religion' (Food for thought: Hindu women marry Muslim men; vice versa spells doom for the whole Hindu community), it is very pertinent that Hindu women, especially who are concerned about such things, should maybe start to give it some thought!

China has been having a one child policy for 2 / 3 decades. People who had more than 1 child had to more taxes. Not sure whether this will work in India.

Some Chinese complain that they did not have a gr8 childhood as they didn't grow up with brothers and sisters.

Your food for though on hindu women is absolutely justified. I have written volumes and volumes of emails showing the other perspective to my friends who were considering non-Hindu men as a probable spouse. But i would not like to share them in a public forum, giving rise to unhealthy divisive discussions.
