The aim is to shed light on overpopulation issue of India and examine whether 2 Child policy will help or not. First, the crucial demographic conditions and where India stands by numbers is demonstrated. Then it strives to illuminate that growth rate of India is not the factor of its overpopulation rather India started with an unequal base. China’s One Child and 2 Child Policy are discussed in detail to find loopholes. Religion is also lugged into the picture in India but consequently it is shown that, it is not a matter of religion rather region. Causes which are the substantive reason behind overpopulation are examined as they are often overlooked altogether. Countries with Underpopulation are scrutinized, as a result of which we get inputs on how to control our population There after, it is presented that why every time overpopulation control policy fails miserably, deriving from that it is examined that 2 child policy will be no different rather it will be worse off. Consequently, some solutions to the problem are suggested. Government is looked from a critical lens as the government can easily bring in positive solutions but then why does it choose to waste money on unnecessary policies which do more harm than good. Therefore, this study attempts to answer many such questions.
