India overtakes china as world's most populous country..!?

 India is set to top the list of the most populous countries in the world. According to the UN, india is going to have 3 million more people than china by the middle of this year. The United Nations population Fund has released the World population Report for the year 2023.
The population of India:

Accordingly, the population of india is estimated to be 1.4286 (142 crores 86 lakh) billion. At the same time, China's population is reported to be 1.4257 (142 crores 57 lakh) billion. The united states is projected to be in third place with a population of 340 million (34 crores). The population of the countries is projected based on the data available in february 2023. Demographers predicted that india would overtake china this month, using previous UN data. But the latest UN report does not specify a date for when the population transition will take place. UN population officials have expressed concern that data provided by india and china regarding population is unclear. They also said that it is not possible to predict when india will overtake china as the next census scheduled for 2021 has been delayed. Although india and china account for more than a third of the world's population of 8.045 billion, population growth in both Asian countries is slowing. china is declining faster than India.
Declining China's Population:

Last year, China's population shrank for the first time in 60 years. This is a historic turning point. This is expected to mark the beginning of a long-term decline in China's population. The fallout is expected to have major implications for the Chinese economy and the world. According to government data, India's annual population growth has averaged 1.2% since 2011. Andrea Wojner, india representative of the population Fund, said that the population should not provoke anxiety or create alarm. Instead, when individual rights and preferences are upheld, they should be seen as a sign of progress, development, and aspirations.
