Gifting katchatheevu to SL without the permission of the MPs was a big mistake by the then Indian PM. It has caused all the troubles you mentioned about the fishermen.
In all these talks about separation in our Motherland, good news from Korea Peninsula that both North and South Korea will march together in Winter Olympics with Unification Flag.
PM Rajiv Gandhi did a big mistake by sending indian peacekeeping force in sri Lanka to fight the Tamil tigers. instead India should have supported them and then India could have invaded sri Lanka like how we invaded Bangladesh after mukti bini was fighting the Pakistan. now we would had a new state in srilanka or entire SL as a indian state. would have solved the current problem of Chinese building a base in sri Lanka.
The main issue is the meagre money given by the centre to South India. In Keralas case, an increase of funds from the current 25ps/₹ to atleast 50ps/₹ would make a huge difference.
Kerala population is also declining. So, by the current math, the share from the Central pool will keep on declining which is gross injustice.
That India has a population problem is a truism every schoolchild learns. It was the first country in the world to adopt family planning, back in 1952. Yet, the problem persists: India is expected to surpass China as the most populous country on the planet by 2024, an incredible overtake given that in 1950, China’s population was one and a half times more than India’s.
This overarching narrative of India’s population explosion, however, becomes complicated as one zooms in. West Bengal’s fertility rate – the average number of children a woman would have in a given population – is lower than that of Norway, a nation worried about its social welfare system being stretched by an ageing population. Japan’s fertility rate of 1.5 is so low that the country is facing a socio-economic crisis. Yet, according to data released by the Union government last week, Kerala’s fertility rate is nearly the same – 1.56.
Population Growth cannot be debated by only focusing on Fertility rate.
Many other factors come into play.
1) Population density Historically when Bihar and Jharkhand were one state, they always were lagging behind West bengal and Kerala in population density. Add Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh or Bihar and Jharkhand population density and you will get different results. This division happend not that long ago. Most North Indian states are lagging behind the states you mentioned in Population density.
2) Geographical Factors:- Rural population will increase in river plains where large scale agriculture is possible and it will support the large population also. This is why population density of some states like UP, Bihar increased when you removed Jharkhand, Uttarakhand from them which were not river plains.
China has huge population in Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta as they are the places for Agricultural, Trade and Industries.
3) Historical Trends: Is population growth bad? Victorian times - in 50 years population of England doubled yet they were number one in the world. USA and China have achieved great Economic success based on huge population. EU concept is also based on bringing together a large population, cheap labour and an even bigger market. Look at demand, market, consumption based economy and revenue !!!
4) With right leadership and policies, results can be achieved. Between 2004 to 2014, we did manage to triple our GDP in 10 years.
Modern day economists (whichever school of thought- Post Keynesian, Chicago School) look at Population growth in a very different sense nowadays. Challenging yes but positively.

No government is perfect due to diversity of states .
Look at the current government in Tamil Nadu .
How Christian missionaries and foreign funded people of the state blocking development projects .
