Murderous identities and population paranoia
Hindus should give up family planning so that their population does not go down … The population of minorities, especially Muslims, had been rising at such a fast pace that it would be 25 to 30 percent of the total population in 50 years. It would be suicidal for Hindus if they did not raise their population.
– VHP President Ashok Singhal, December 2004
Population growth is one of the factors contributing to global warming … Developing countries, especially those with rapid population growth, promise to worsen this problem [of man-made global warming] as they too develop, using the model of wasteful, energy-intensive Western economies … Stabilizing population growth worldwide … [is a] vital component of slowing, and eventually stopping, global warming.
