RSS joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale said on Saturday that Hindu families should adopt a three-child norm to prevent "demographic imbalance" in society. Addressing the media during the ongoing RSS national executive here, Hosabale said a "demographic shift" has been taking place due to conversion, decline in birth rate and largescale infiltration from Bangladeshis. Bigger Hindu families would prevent minorities from gaining the upper hand in terms of population in certain parts of the country, he said. Stating that family planning should not be made applicable to any particular community he said "demographic balance" is necessary for balanced development. The growth rate of children in the age group of 0-6 years was 15 per cent among Hindus and 18 per cent among Muslim , claimed Hosabale, adding that "elite Hindus" should seriously review family planning. "We do not have enough youth to join the Armed Forces due to the present one-child norm,'' he said. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/to-prevent-population-imbalance-hindus-must-hav.../1187738/

Instead' date=' why cant we have everyone follow family planning ?[/quote'] We should follow reservations on that. Idea for Family planning age cutoff: Hindu FC - 30 yrs Hindu BC - 30 yrs 1 month Hindu MBC - 30 yrs 11 months Christians/Muslims - 52 yrs SC/ST - 61 yrs Minorities need to get more children to look after themselves as there is no one to look after themselves.

I feel "elite" Hindus rather "adopt" the third child rather than give birth or through surrogacy.
Population growth rate aside, Adoption is a very good and a noble option. This way, a poor child will get a good upbringing. In my workplace, both my manager and manager's manager had adopted a child (at different times). One of them had 1 biological child and the other didn't have biological child.

Think there's some error, TFR for India was 3+ in 2001 and ~2.57 in 2011 census.
