Look up India’s population density and fertility rate. Not as dire as you think.

Keep in mind India's fertility rate was much higher at the time of the anecdote (~3.35 children/woman in 2000 vs 2.05 now).

There were predictions even then of rate tampering down. If someone was so concerned about India's population, they should have looked at projections before speaking down to the locals.
