Assam CM has again started talk of “population control”. This is Hindutva-speak for blaming poor & marginalised
Here are the facts @himantabiswa
Assam has already achieved replacement levels of TFR 2.1. National TFR is 2.2. In simple words, there’s no population explosion 1/n

Your govt should worry about skewed sex ratio due to barbaric practice of sex-selective abortions. It’s projected that even in 2036 Assam’s sex ratio will still be seriously skewed in favour of men. There’s a clear need to fight against underlying sexist cultural ideas 3/n
This population-talk is based on the lie that there are too many people & limited resources. Truth is that our resources are hoarded by a small part of population. 22% of UCs own 41% of wealth. Problem is not limited resources but unequal distribution n/n indianexpress.com/article/india/…
