India has passed China as the world's most populous nation | DW News

As of 2023, India has an estimated population of over 1.4 billion people, making it the world's most populous country. This is a significant milestone as it overtakes China, which has a population of over 1.3 billion people.

India's population has been steadily increasing over the years, and experts predict that it will continue to do so in the coming decades. However, the country also faces challenges such as poverty, inequality, and inadequate infrastructure, which can pose significant obstacles to sustainable development.

Furthermore, the rapidly growing population in India also puts pressure on the country's resources, such as water, food, and energy. Addressing these issues will be crucial to ensure a sustainable future for India and the world.
