What is the cure to Indias catastrophic population growth?
Ghulam Nabi Azad says late-night TV will help slow Indias birth rate India intends to harness the passion-killing properties of late-night television to help to control a potentially catastrophic population explosion. Ghulam Nabi Azad, the Health and Family Welfare Minister, has called for the country to redouble its efforts to bring electricity to all of its huge rural population. The introduction of the electric light and television sets to those vast areas that still did not have them would discourage procreation, he argued. If there is electricity in every village, then people will watch TV till late at night and then fall asleep. They wont get a chance to produce children, Mr Azad said. When there is no electricity there is nothing else to do but produce babies.
