  • According to projections by the World Population Review, India has surpassed China as the world’s most populous nation. 
  • While India’s population was 1.42 billion as of January 18, China for the first time reported a fall of 850,000 since the 1960s and now stands at 1.41 billion.
  • The last time China reported a fall was during the ‘Great Leap Forward’, an economic and social campaign led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from 1958 to 1962, leading to widespread famine and starvation.
