"India's population has increased to 1.2 billion people this year, although growth actually slowed for the first time in 90 years, census officials have said.
The South Asian nation, second only to China in terms of its total population, added 181 million people in the past decade, said C Chandramouli, the census commissioner.
That increase alone is nearly the entire population of Brazil, and UN projections show that India could overtake China and its 1.34 billion people as the world's most populous nation by 2030."
