India would be population leader of the world in 2023


With more than 1.2 billion (1,210,193,422) people as per 2011 census of India, India has grown by 17.64 percent during 2001-11.  China is the only country with a larger population than India, with 1,338,612,968 people as per their national census of 2010. The UNDP had estimated that the China’s population grew at an annual rate of 0.6 per cent during 2006. If one assumes that these growths will continue during next ten years from now, India will take over China in terms of population by 2023 say, in another ten years from now.
