India is the second-most populated country, according to the latest United Nations population division data India's current population is estimated at 1,380,004,385 which is equivalent to 17.7% of the total world population (the year 2020). According to the United Nations Population Division, India will soon overtake China to become a more populated country in the whole world. India is still coming in the developing countries category. India has been independent for 72 years but is still progressing because there are lots of major issues that India faces every time that makes India a developing country. The United Nations has divided countries into three categories, I.e. Developed countries, developing countries and undeveloped countries. These major categories are classified by various factors, such as Economic status, Gross Domestic Product, Gross national product, per capita income, the standard of living, human development Index, etc. India faces these major problems due to the huge population, poor economic development, unemployment, natural disaster, low industrialization, social evils like discrimination, religion-based politics, corruption, gender inequality, superstition, infant and child mortality, illiteracy, no proper agenda, malnutrition and education, poor infrastructure development. Due to this problem, India is somehow lacking somewhere.
