India’s population now world’s largest surpassing China, hints UN report

The United Nations Population Fund’s ‘State of the World Population Report 2023’ pegs India’s mid-year population at 142.86 crore and China’s at 142.57 crore. Given that India has in recent years been adding about 1.6-to-1.7 crore annually to its population, and with 10 weeks to go for June-end, it could mean that the country has either already crept ahead or would do so anytime now.
