India's population is growing out of control. It is looking to surpass China in population by 2030, while its land mass is a little under a third that of China. They do not have enough food to feed their populace now, and do not have the land or means of developing the land to increase food production in the foreseeable future. Their government is incompetent and corrupt, and therefore they have no way of developing population control measures as the Chinese have, even if it was viable socially. They have no unique services or products to sell to the rest of the world save for unintelligible amounts of unskilled labor.
It is inevitable, India is going to implode. Whose responsibility is it to pick up the pieces? Is it the responsibility of Western nations to enable India when the only alternative is to let people die of starvation by the thousands, or tens of thousands? Do all nations have a responsibility to do as much as reasonably possible to prevent the complete economic breakdown of other nations, and to stamp out anarchy and widespread hunger? Or on the other hand is the survival of successful ways of life more important, to develop more successful societies with posterity in mind at the expense of the stragglers?
