Calcutta, India — An Indian family travels on a train in the eastern Indian city of Calcutta. India is now home to 17% of the world's people as its population climbed to 1.21 billion this year, though growth actually slowed for the first time in 90 years, census officials said. With 623.7 million males and 586.5 million females, India's population was bigger than the combined populations of the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
