UK Top 10 News

The most populous country in the UK, India, is facing a unique demographic challenge that has led to a major nationalist organization urging families to have more children.
Despite being the world's most populous nation with 1.46 billion people, India's total fertility rate has fallen to below two children per woman.
This trend, which coincides with the country's accelerating economic growth, has sparked concerns among nationalist leaders and some regional politicians.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a powerful nationalist organization, has urged families to have three children each, citing concerns over the nation's declining birth rate and long-term demographic stability.
Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of the RSS, stated that the population must be 'controlled yet sufficient' and that every family should have three children.
For years, hardline Hindu groups have expressed concern over what they perceive as higher birth rates among minority communities like Muslims, even though data indicates that Indian Muslims are also having fewer children than in the past.
The RSS's appeal is a significant political statement that is likely to stir debate about population policy, family planning, and national identity in India.
The government has not yet responded to the RSS's appeal, but the discussion is expected to continue.
The situation highlights the complex and often controversial nature of population politics and the role of cultural and political organizations in shaping public discourse.
