Yeah man..Ind's 1.339 billion + 15 million outside of India (diaspora) + 200 million Pakistanis + 10-20 million others were invested in the match.

Obviously not all the populations were watching but most were, the hype is real due to many reasons:

1) Ind-Pak has had tensions for decades. They no longer compete in bilateral series against each other, in fact Ind even tried to convince the global cricket body to ban Pak from the world cup after their recent attack in India. So an Ind-Pak match is rare and happen only at global tournaments which is every 3-4 years.

2) Rich history. We've had many close matches in the past and high profile.

Obviously I'm biased but the celtics-lakers, barca-real madrid, arsenal-manU rivalries are a joke compared. Brazil-Arg maybe comes close.

It's the rural areas. Sigh. They have more kids so that they could help them come out of poverty. Awareness is slowly spreading. We have had a slogan for a while 'hum do, humare do' which translates to 'we 2, our kids 2'. Most urban families have 1 or 2 kids.

oke, understand bit better now, ps i recently heard of e "movement"thats about Kids have NO desission in beign Born/brought to the world or not, So if you give brith to a child you should do anything for that child-not use/mistreat it, becaue the child never had a coiche of beign born or not. The Idea is that giving birth to a child is Selfish, thought that movement came from Indai or Asia, maybe this is started because of that situation, getting Kids to sell them/using them to get more money, specially grils who are sold as a bride

That's interesting. I haven't heard of that before. Yeah child labor and marriage is a big issue, slowly being eradicated.
