India has surpassed China as the world’s most populous country.
Driven by states like Bihar, the country's population is forecast to continue growing.
With Bihar’s fertility rate much higher than the national average, authorities are using a raft of family planning measures, including incentives for sterilisations, which critics say places the burden unfairly on women.
