VOV1 - Theo báo cáo mới được Chính phủ Ấn Độ công bố, lần đầu tiên trong lịch sử hiện đại, tỷ lệ sinh của nước này đã giảm xuống dưới mức thay thế dân số, đánh dấu bước ngoặt quan trọng trong quá trình phát triển nhân khẩu học của quốc gia đông dân nhất thế giới.Theo Báo cáo Hệ thống Đăng ký Mẫu (SRS), tỷ lệ sinh tổng cộng (TFR) của Ấn Độ hiện chỉ còn 1,9 con trên mỗi phụ nữ, thấp hơn mức 2,1 con cần thiết để duy trì quy mô dân số ổn định trong dài hạn. Trong khi đó, vào đầu những năm 2000, chỉ số này vẫn ở mức khoảng 3,3 con trên mỗi phụ nữ.Các chuyên gia nhận định xu hướng suy giảm mức sinh phản ánh những thay đổi sâu sắc về kinh tế và xã hội tại Ấn Độ. Việc phụ nữ được tiếp cận giáo dục tốt hơn, sử dụng các biện pháp kế hoạch hóa gia đình rộng rãi hơn và có vai trò lớn hơn trong quá trình ra quyết định của gia đình đã góp phần làm giảm số con trung bình. Bên cạnh đó, chi phí sinh hoạt và nuôi dạy con cái ngày càng tăng tại các đô thị cũng khiến nhiều cặp vợ chồng lựa chọn sinh ít con hơn.Một nguyên nhân quan trọng khác là tỷ lệ tử vong ở trẻ sơ sinh liên tục giảm. Theo số liệu của Chính phủ Ấn Độ, tỷ lệ tử vong trẻ sơ sinh đã giảm từ 30 ca trên 1.000 trẻ năm 2019 xuống còn 24 ca vào năm 2024, qua đó làm giảm tâm lý phải sinh nhiều con để bảo đảm duy trì quy mô gia đình như trước đây.Báo cáo cũng cho thấy sự chênh lệch đáng kể về mức sinh giữa các bang. Những bang có thu nhập thấp ở miền Bắc như Bihar và Uttar Pradesh vẫn ghi nhận tỷ lệ sinh cao nhất cả nước, lần lượt là 2,9 và 2,6 con trên mỗi phụ nữ. Trong khi đó, thủ đô New Delhi cùng các bang phát triển ở miền Nam như Kerala và Tamil Nadu chỉ ghi nhận mức từ 1,2 đến 1,3 con.Các nhà kinh tế cảnh báo xu hướng này có thể làm suy giảm lợi thế dân số vàng - động lực quan trọng thúc đẩy tăng trưởng kinh tế của Ấn Độ trong hơn hai thập kỷ qua. Khi số trẻ em sinh ra ngày càng ít, lực lượng lao động trong tương lai sẽ thu hẹp, trong khi số người cao tuổi tiếp tục gia tăng, tạo áp lực lớn đối với hệ thống y tế, lương hưu và an sinh xã hội.Trước thực trạng trên, một số bang đã triển khai các biện pháp khuyến khích sinh con như hỗ trợ tài chính cho gia đình sinh con thứ ba, thứ tư hoặc mở rộng các chương trình hỗ trợ sinh sản. Tuy nhiên, nhiều chuyên gia cho rằng bên cạnh các chính sách khuyến sinh, Ấn Độ cần sớm chuẩn bị cho quá trình già hóa dân số thông qua việc tăng cường đầu tư cho y tế, lương hưu và hệ thống an sinh xã hội trong những thập niên tới./.Ảnh minh họa (Reuters)
On Wednesday, 21 people were killed in a massive fire at a south Delhi hotel. And the next day, five people perished in another fire in the ICU of a hospital in Bihar. Such incidents are becoming too frequent in India. The Delhi fire, in particular, has exposed huge gaps in the enforcement of basic fire safety and building norms. The Delhi government has now ordered all such commercial establishments in the area to be sealed, and it is reworking the law that governs Bed and Breakfast establishments. But is this too little too late? Is it enough to prevent such tragedies in the future? This accident raises many troubling questions, and joining us today are two reporters who were on the ground covering this tragedy for The Hindu, Shrimansi Kaushik and Suruchi Kumari.

In traditional society, gender roles at home and work are often fixed, with women handling household duties and men earning. Anil Dubey from Bihar challenges this norm by becoming a house husband, leaving his job to manage the home while his wife works, reflecting a shift in social attitudes. - आज के पारंपरिक समाज में अब भी घर और बाहर की भूमिकाएँ अक्सर तय मानी जाती हैं—घर के काम महिलाएँ करेंगी, जबकि बाहर काम करना, कमाना और घर चलाना पुरुषों की ज़िम्मेदारी समझी जाती है। इसी सोच के कारण “हाउसवाइफ” शब्द आम हुआ होगा। लेकिन बिहार के रहने वाले अनिल दुबे की कहानी इस धारणा को चुनौती देती है। बिहार के अनिल दुबे ने ‘हाउस हसबंड' बनकर एक अलग और प्रेरक उदाहरण पेश किया है। यह सिर्फ एक व्यक्ति का फैसला नहीं, बल्कि बदलती सामाजिक सोच का संकेत भी है। अनिल ने अपनी नौकरी छोड़कर घर की जिम्मेदारी संभालने का निर्णय लिया, जबकि उनकी पत्नी पेशेवर रूप से काम कर रही हैं। हाउस हसबंड बनने के बाद अनिल दुबे ने अपने सभी दायित्वों को पूरे समर्पण और जिम्मेदारी के साथ निभाया है।

This episode focuses on the fight against lymphatic filariasis (filaria) — commonly known as “elephantiasis” — a preventable yet deeply debilitating disease that continues to affect rural communities across India.Our guest is Shrawon Kumar, Hon'ble Rural Development Minister of Bihar. In this conversation, we explore how filaria disproportionately impacts working populations in villages — farmers, daily wage earners, and workers engaged in rural employment schemes — and how the disease affects not just individual health, but household incomes and the broader rural economy.The discussion highlights why eliminating filaria is not solely the responsibility of the health department. Minister Kumar explains how the Rural Development Department is working in convergence with the health system to strengthen awareness, outreach, and mass drug administration efforts at the grassroots level.A key focus of this episode is the powerful role of Self Help Groups (SHGs) and rural women. With SHGs deeply embedded across Bihar's villages, they serve as trusted community platforms for spreading awareness, mobilizing families, and ensuring medicine uptake. The episode underscores why community participation — especially women-led engagement — is central to defeating filaria.We conclude with practical guidance on simple yet critical steps that families, SHG members, and local communities can take to prevent filaria and build healthier villages.CreditsGuest: Shrawon Kumar, Rural Development Minsiter, BiharHost: Sanjay PResearch: Alisha CConcept: Piramal FoundationProduced by: The Good SightFor feedback or to participate, write to us at contact@thegoodsight.org#Filaria #LymphaticFilariasis #PublicHealth #RuralDevelopment #CommunityHealth #SHGs #PiramalFoundation #TheGoodSight

2026 is shaping up to be a hectic political year in India. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appointed the relatively unknown Nitin Nabin to take over as party president. The BJP and its opposition challengers are gearing up for high-stakes assembly elections in five states later this spring. And the Election Commission of India (ECI) is in the midst of a controversial revision of India's gargantuan electoral rolls.To discuss these and the country's other key political stories, Sunetra Choudhury—the national political editor of the Hindustan Times—joins Milan to kick off the fifteenth season of Grand Tamasha. The two sat down for a special episode recorded live in HT's New Delhi studio. Listeners will know Sunetra from her past appearances on the podcast, as well as from her reporting for the Hindustan Times—and, of course, from her book Black Warrant, which has since been adapted into a hit Netflix crime drama of the same name. Sunetra has over two decades of reporting experience and was the recipient of the Red Ink award in journalism in 2016 and the Mary Morgan Hewett award in 2018.Milan and Sunetra discuss the prevailing political winds in Delhi, the BJP's surprising new president, and the long shadow of the 2025 Bihar assembly elections. Plus, the two discuss the upcoming state elections, the inner turmoil within the Congress Party, and the ECI's controversial “special intensive review.”Episode notes:“Interpreting the 2025 Bihar Verdict (with Roshan Kishore),” Grand Tamasha, November 19, 2025.“How India's Women Are Redefining Politics (with Ruhi Tewari),” Grand Tamasha, November 5, 2025.Sunetra Choudhury, “NDA's landslide win will cause ripples far beyond Bihar,” Hindustan Times, November 15, 2025.
First, we talk to The Indian Express' Mihir Vasavda about how a growing number of athletes and coaches are saying that training outdoors in India is becoming less about performance and more about basic survival in the toxic winter air and extreme summer heat.

Esse mês eu vou trazer 9 livros que vão levar vcs a um passeio por aspectos de algumas das religiões com mais praticantes no mundo e no Brasil: catolicismo, protestantismo (evangélicos), judaísmo, islamismo, hinduísmo, budismo, espiritismo, além das religiões afro-brasileiras candomblé e umbanda. Atualmente, mais do que nunca, o mundo precisa de tolerância, empatia e respeito a diversidade religiosa. Hoje nosso passeio pelas religiões do mundo mergulha no budismo, a quarta maior religião do mundo, com o livro "Under the Bodhi Tree – a story of Buddha", ou "Debaixo da árvore de Bodhi – uma história do Buda", escrito por Deborah Hopkinson, ilustrado por Kailey Whitman e ainda não publicado no Brasil, por isso eu traduzi e adaptei especialmente pra esse episodio. Trata-se de uma biografia ilustrada através da qual os jovens leitores descobrirão a história atemporal de uma criança cuja busca pela paz transformou o mundo inteiro. A Árvore de Bodhi ou Figueira de Bodhi era uma grande e antiga figueira sagrada localizada em Bodh Gaya, Bihar, na Índia. Siddhartha Gautama, mais conhecido como Buda, o líder espiritual que fundou o budismo, teria atingido a Iluminação espiritual (chamada de Bodhi) por volta de 500 a.C. sob essa árvore.Para acompanhar a história juntamente com as ilustrações do livro, compre o livro aqui: https://amzn.to/4rcYDiaO Budismo é uma doutrina filosófica e espiritual, surgida na Índia, no século VI a.C. e tem como preceito a busca pelo fim do sofrimento humano e assim, alcançar a iluminação. Seus princípios baseiam-se nos ensinamentos de Siddhārtha Gautama, conhecido como Buda, que significa "Desperto" ou "Iluminado". Os budistas, portanto, não adoram um deus ou deuses, nem possuem uma rígida hierarquia religiosa, sendo muito mais uma busca individual, quando comparadas às religiões monoteístas ocidentais. Fiquem ligados que daqui a 3 dias sai mais um episódio, dessa vez sobre a religião evangélica, não percam!

Bihar has once again delivered a political drama worthy of its reputation—record turnout, sharp debates over the voter rolls, a decisive victory for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), and a fresh round of questions about whether the opposition has what it takes to displace Modi and the BJP. The NDA—anchored by Nitish Kumar and his Janata Dal (United), together with the BJP and other allies—secured a landslide victory by winning 202 out of 243 seats in the state assembly. The opposition, for its part, saw little change in its vote share from 2020, but could only muster 35 seats. To work through the elections—and their larger meaning for India's political economy—Milan is joined on the show today by the Hindustan Times data and political economy editor Roshan Kishore. Over the past several months, Roshan and his team have consistently put out the most thoughtful data and analysis on the trends in Bihar. Milan and Roshan discuss the resilience of the JD(U)–BJP alliance, the polarization in the electorate, and the dissonance within the opposition alliance's campaign. Plus, the two discuss the Election Commission of India (ECI)'s controversial review of electoral rolls, the impact of upstart Prashant Kishor and his Jan Suraaj Party, and what the elections portend for India's political economy beyond November.Watch the episode here.Episode notes:1.
