India’s population is estimated to have reached 146.39 crore by April, says a new UN demographic report, which adds that the country’s total fertility rate (TFR) has declined to 1.9, falling below the replacement level of 2.1.
The TFR measures the number of children a woman is expected to have throughout their reproductive age. Replacement level TFR is the rate needed for each generation to replace the previous generation’s population.
The population is expected to grow to 170 crore before starting to dip in about 40 years, the report titled “State of the World Population 2025: The Real Fertility Crisis” says. It calls India the “world’s most populous nation”, while pegging former leader China’s current population at 141.61 crore.

Israel’s war on Iran began on June 13, 2025. A week later, it is as much the Unites States’s war. President Donald Trump, who rose to power six months ago promising peace, is hardly a peacemaker.
American B2 bombers dropped bunker-busting bombs at Fordow, Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear facility, while U.S. submarines fired Tomahawk missiles at the Natanz and Isfahan nuclear plants, even as Israel struggled to intercept Iranian ballistic missiles.
While the U.S.’s actions against Iran are not surprising, given its long-persisting hostilities with Iran and its much-criticised, yet unwavering support to Israel in the bombardment of Gaza, Mr. Trump’s own reckless leadership adds yet another, dangerous layer of volatility to the world that is seeing enormous turbulence and destruction.
Iran's Parliament has approved closure of strait of hormuz in retaliation.

India is celebrating the successful launch of the Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission which has taken off with a multi-country crew, including an Indian astronaut, Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla.
When the spacecraft docks at the International Space Station (ISS), Group Captain Shukla, who is piloting the mission, will become the first ever Indian to visit Nasa's orbiting laboratory.
