Kalyani, you are saying so.
But my christian neighbours say, according to their religion they must have as much as kids they can. Churches are even arranging seminars and meeting to advise believers to do so. I am now living in a family of 4 brothers. (All four homes in a single boundary). All those 4 brothers have 2 kids each and all of them want one more kid. Wife of one of those brothers is now pregnant (for 3rd kid). We shall wait for many good news soon.....also, all are well educated people, most of them are in teaching field...hihi

same in Muslim community!! They are advised by their mullas to have as many kids as they can! :blink: But what about the health and education of the children, whether they are able to feed them or not?? When are people going to grow up??? :blink:

I think at least in this aspect Indian government should adopt dictatorial measures like China did!

it is highly unbelievable. Is it India? if, so where?

This is very strange. How can a man has whim to give birth to a child at such an old age?

People generally prefer to become saint after 70+ .

Its quite so ridiculous and I personally find it gross! Does no one ever thinks of what it is doing to the country's population crisis??? :blink:

Exactly ! not only that how does he take responsibility for the child? What happens to the child and who is supposed to look after him/her and provide the much needed emotional support during growing years...People dont seem to think on those lines except consider fathering a child as a heroic act ...the implications of bringing a child into this world seem to take a back seat ! :huh:
