Population Density Problems in India

Looking at population density maps can tell us a lot about the world, and are easy to read. A few of the most obvious areas for population areas are Japan, Eastern China, Europe, and of course, India. Some may just look at population density as just another national statistic, but for India, it is a major problem. Simply comparing the USA and India maps' scales for population density are enough to tell you that there is a major difference. A link concerning two maps comparing the two countries are as follows:

Efforts have been made by India to control overpopulation, but thus far nothing effective enough to suffice. There are quite a few ideas out there that look good on paper, but are nearly impossible to carry out. Keeping overpopulation is definately a concern for some countries to avoid dramatic overcrowding, as shown in the following link:
