Here's the BBC article (via Internet Archive) for anyone who wants to read it. The whole thing is a fun read but I would like to highlight my favorite part:

I’m not saying he would win, but like….I get it

#it's not really current events cuz this was from 2019 but...#current events #india #basically tl;dr the guy is anti-natalist but also kind of silly with it #his parents seem to be taking it in stride #and he is in fact only doing it to make a point #(the point being that earth would be better off if the human species let itself gradually die out by not reproducing anymore)#(which I personally do not really agree with)#(honestly I think the quantity of people on earth is a fairly neutral thing #and it's more about how we distribute resources and steward our planet than just how many of us there are #afaik it's actually very easy to sustain 8 billion people without destroying the planet we just don't do that #but like I can see how you'd land there and as long as we're not actually culling people then like. fine. whatever.)
