According to a story in the London Times, the Health and family welfare minister of India Ghulam Nabi Azad has introduced a new idea to control the population in India’s rural areas. In a country with a population of more than 1.17 billion, whose population growth is increasing by 1.6% each year, India will inevitably face problems such as famine, lack or resources, and disease if it’s population is not controlled within the next 40 years.
Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has suggested a new birth control idea to control the population of rural areas of India – the highest contributors to the population. He suggested that the country try its efforts in bringing electricity into underprivileged rural areas and providing families in poverty with television sets in hopes to distract couples from getting busy with addicting soap operas and reality TV shows, because of course television is capable of distracting thousands of couples from doing what is naturally and genetically programmed into their DNA. A late night talk show will curb any innate instincts that couples will have.
“If there is electricity in every village, then people will watch TV until late night and then fall asleep. They won’t get a chance to produce children,” Azad stated. “When there is no electricity, there is nothing else to do but produce babies.” “I don’t think that I am saying this in a lighter vein. I am serious. TV will have a great impact. It’s a great medium to tackle the problem… 80% of population growth can be reduced through TV.”
Although this theory is possible – the question is for how long will this method of birth control take effect? Perhaps for the first 6 months this idea will prove as a success as it will hold the interests of its users. But when it comes down to it how many re-runs of television sitcoms can the poor people of India bear to watch?
The Times wrote “the Minister called on India’s television channels to provide high-quality programs, arguing that enticing content would offer alternative late night entertainment.”
