Who's not speed running that right now? I can't really fault India in particular when it's nearly universal.

You said it yourself, nearly, so it's not something written in stone.
I can fault India (and, in particular, Modi) for repeating the same mistake all other western developed countries made 40 years before, yes.
You mean working to prevent unwanted teen pregnancies?
Not sure, I think it may be more about half your women in their 40s staying single and childless vs 1% 50 years ago, but don't quote me on that!

You mean are making right now? Also not just western developed countries, unless you count Russia, China, Japan, etc. as western.
Oops, I was a little too implicit.
made 40 years... before they (India) started developing.
Western countries were at the forefront of this already in the 80s. India, starting to develop much later, had a big time buffer to learn from that and at least attempt to avoid it.
