There will be a great difference between 2005 and 2009 population. I think now India has become No. 1 in case of population.

You think? Maybe a mention of sources you have referred to would be more convincing.

I know, yes we can google. I was trying to say if he could include the source because it has been said by him that now India has the highest number of population. Just googled and on Wikipedia, China still holds number one in population (1,331,650,000), India (1,165,970,000), US(306,837,000) and follow by Indonesia and so on..

If it goes like this rate, then India will bypass china and become the first one in the population list.
Seriously there must be some strict measures to control the population of the countries.
Or the world will soon be short of resources like Oil,food ,Water.
