Everyone, certainly India, need to stop population growth.

We need to thank China as the developing country that has made massive efforts on that issue over the past 45 years.

India has also hit replacement or below replacement level population in most of the country and it was done without invasively draconian policy setting. Just female literacy and access to healthcare.

India's population is still growing and in pretty bad conditions. In Africa population is still booming.

China would have hundreds of millions more people, with consequences for all of us, if it had not done what it did.

Very little efforts are made globally to control population, which makes things like COP27 rather moot.

Your ideas about population control are antiquated. It is well known that demographic change follows women's rights and economic development, particularly in access to healthcare and education. Draconian laws just lead to wide-scale oppression. India's population (and Africa's) are only growing in the regions that schooling and healthcare infrastructure haven't penetrated yet. The only controls a government can institute under conditions where it can't even run a school are genocidal.
