"A stronger India-Japan relationship is imperative amid growing global uncertainty. Beyond trade and investment, the two democracies must build Asia's most trusted civilisational partnership, rooted in shared values and the rule of law. Their demographic differences present an opportunity to create a joint care economy, expand female workforce participation, and strengthen economic resilience. India's progress should be measured not only by GDP but by the growth of an inclusive middle class. By combining Japan's manufacturing strengths with India's talent and innovation, the partnership can foster a more stable, equitable, and democratic Indo-Pacific."

"Population fears often generate more heat than light, fuelling harmful rhetoric instead of practical solutions. The real challenge is not population growth or decline itself, but how societies adapt to demographic change through balanced, evidence-based policies. India can manage ageing and future workforce pressures through technological advances, greater female workforce participation, and smarter public policy rather than alarmist calls for higher fertility. Balancing economic and demographic power will be essential, while reducing educational costs and easing the burden on families may ultimately do more to influence fertility choices than appeals for larger families."

- Sonalde Desai, The Indian Express, (13/7)
