Demography has played one of the most significant role as far as the history of mankind is concerned, India's is significantly different than the rest. Incapacitating on the vague lines, densely shaped population changes have so far been able to document a dictum 'demography is destiny'; no country can progress without adequate human resource for man power itself plays a very potential role as far as economic development is concerned. Seceding on those same lines, skilled manpower can make an effective utilization of its natural resources. Striking exceptions prevail as the global trend in the world at large speaks of declining population rates. It is no doubt a serious mismatch that has taken place in case of East and West. Demographic history and the controversy itself shrouds in mystery, how exactly does it happen that on demographic lines, a community and nationality is divided and sub-divided; on what major platform does it shield the benefits of making a populace nation remarkably well-rehearsed in work, in formulating better tendency of managing man power and human resource which functions on the same lines as being extremely energetic and completely in tow with the tendency of allowing the existing passion of work to do away with better management techniques as far as the plaintext version surmounts regarding basic challenge that a demographic situation faces on the long term bases. Exquisite and focally sound, this will show tenderness in a slightly mitigating manner, if demography is not taken into wide and better regard.

One can see on a blue print that during the last three decades, the continuous problem has been of massive presence felt by the overall concentration of various religious groups in different parts of India, which can be easily identifiable in terms of Bangladeshi people coming and becoming part of Indian setup; this most definitely being the illegal infiltration by the Bengali authorities. Sure shot, this has evidently led to 'external aggression and internal disturbances' due to silent invasion by illegal immigrants. Many opportunistic political parties have been trying to underplay the growing threat to the nation's security. But he chides that population is not a liability but an asset because it provides youthful manpower, the real case being that of Japan which is prosperous, with India which is poor. In Jammu and Kashmir alone demographic change has already been forced on non-Muslims. The proposed Hindus conclave need to have a more dynamic, energetic and vibrant leadership which may give a purposeful boost to a population that may render to give in man power that will surely assert in producing and giving in the best to the country India. India is said to be heading for a demographic disaster, so views the author.

Major highlights are in the form of good governance which is partly believed to be forcing parochial politics. Only in recent times has demographic politics taken deep end roots in India and the version behind this entire scheme manifests on the grounds, Indian government. He rightly pinpoints on the said factor that the census of 2001 omits 3.76 crore Indians from its analytical base. Effective remedial measures alone can phantom the possibility of ending the 'Dangerous Decade' of disunity or political upheaval that surely besets the entire region on the threshold of main foray of demographic problems and abject dissolutions of poverty and main state of troubling Indian demographic lines that shoulder on to the surface a clear vision of how truncated India itself is today than it was ever before.

Surely, penchant to the core the major problems of demography have taken new grounds let alone India, but even in other places across the world. Ohri's analysis has proved to be beyond doubt a seemingly accurate account of the demographic revolution that if it may sweep across India it can be one of the most productive and prosperous country across the globe.
