What categories of people have the greatest rates of reproduction in the country? What are the qualities that ensure reproductive success in this country? Answers - Muslim, SC/ST reservation beneficiary, traitor etc.

Treachery and imbecility will become even more preponderant as good genes are eliminated and bad ones multiply.

Add to that the fact that middle class infertility has become a problem like never before - http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/Story/102985/India/infertility-on-the-rise.html.

Is the reproductive rate of the middle class equal to or more than 2.1? Not a chance because they are the only ones that subscribe to family planning and many families are now without children. This effectively means that as a section of society, the middle class reproduction rate is not self-sustaining.

We have already traversed a long way on the path to cultural and genetic doom. India's current state almost matches exactly Julian Huxley's description of a dysgenic society.

Prahlad and Nilekani either have no idea what they're talking about or more likely do and don't care. Expats and rich people have a kind of silly unfounded optimism about India but reality is quite different.
