India has approximately 1.3 billion people and according to Yi, the number is 1.32 billion. That would make India richer by about 30 million people In a claim that has not gone down well with demographers, an academic has claimed that India, not China, is the world’s most-populous nation with 1.32 billion people.

According to The Guardian, Yi Fuxian, a University of Wisconsin-Madison academic has said that China has been inflating its population statistics. Yi reportedly said that Chinese statisticians have been inflating the numbers over the past 26 years. Yi says that the Chinese number of 1.38 billion has an addition of 90 million people who do not exist, and pegs the number at 1.29 billion.
