INDIAN POPULATION

All of us are worried about the alarming population explosion in India, which has already crossed 1.15 Billion as of now. However all of us, "Bhaaratheeyaas" can get consoled by the statement of Yudhishtira in the Epic Mahaabharatham about people died in Kurukshetra war.

In Sradhaa Parva,- sub section of Sthree Parva of Maha Bharatham - Chapter "Sesha Kriya" when King Dhritharashtra asks Yudhishtira about the death toll in Kurukshetra. The reply given by yudhishtira is fascinating. ---"Twenty thousand Crore sixty six warriors died in the war . Ten thousand warriors are missing. Also another One thousand sixty five." By learning that people died just in Kurukshetra war is over 20000 Crore in" Dwapara Yuga", those in Kali yuga must get relieved that Bhaaratham is not overpopulated now and we should not feel we are indiscriminate!!!!!!

Now, my philosophy - Let us not worry about such small problems like population in India and get depressed - let us have a bottle of beer in the evening and enjoy life !!!! As Ulysses said -"drink the life to the lease".
