Experts have carried out a statistic of the world population recently and stated that India will supersede China as the world's most populous nation by the year 2030, which is 5 years earlier than the estimation made before. Currently, China boasts a population of 1.3 billion compared to India's 1.1 billion people. By the year 2030, it is estimated that China's population will be approaching 1.4 billion while India will gain a staggering 400 million which will become more than 1.5 billion people. Due to China's strict control of its birthrates with the implementation of the 'One Child Per Household' policy, China's birthrates have been largely slowed down compared to decades earlier. On the other hand, India does not enforce the birth-control law, and thus its population is leading to explosion. Similarly, the population of other nations, mainly Muslim-owned, which are mostly from the Third World, are multiplying each year due to no restrictions on birthrates. Currently, 4 out of 10 of the world's most populous nations are predominantly Muslim, with Indonesia as the leader of this category, which houses a population of over 238 million and the number is increasing fast.
