The density
of the population in India has climbed up from
261 per square kilometer in 1981 to 267 per square
kilometer in 1991. This is ten times greater than
the density in the United States (26 per square
kilometer) and 2.5 times greater than the density
in China (109 per square kilometer).
The birth rate
in India (31 per thousand people) is greater than
that of China (20 per thousand people). If this
trend continues, India will beat up China by 2025
A.D., making India the most populous nation in
the world. In 2025 A.D, India will have 1591 million
people and China 1554 million people.
Only five countries
in the world - China, USA, Brazil, Indonesia,
and United USSR have more population than Uttar
Pradesh (145 million), which is one of the 28
states in India.
The total population
of the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu was 55.6
million as of 1991. About 4,478,000 people die
every year in Tamil Nadu, or to put it another
way, 1,227 people pass every day into eternity
without knowing Christ.
Every year
the total Population of Australia, is added to
the population of India.
One out of
every seven people in the world lives in India.
So if India, which is open for the gospel, is
reached, then every seventh person in the world
will be reached.
More people
live in India than all the people living in North
America, South America, and Australia put together.
The death
rate in India is 8.39 million per year. This means
that 23,000 people everyday, 958 people every
hour, or 16 people every minute, pass into a Christless
eternity. Are we "moved with compassion for
them because they are weary and scattered"
like Jesus Christ said in Matthew 9:26 |
