While emphasizing that population growth must be sustainable, Bhagwat clarified his position by saying “yes to three, but not more than that”, calling it a balance between demographic stability and economic stress. He further noted that the decline in fertility rates is not limited to Hindus but is visible across all communities, highlighting a common demographic challenge for the nation.
With India already surpassing China in terms of total population but falling below replacement fertility, Bhagwat’s call to “Hum Do, Hamare Teen” has sparked further heated discussions on the controversial issue.
