Claim: On 04 March 2022, India has overtaken China as the most populous country in the world.
Fact-check: There are no reports stating that the Indian population surpassed the Chinese - FACTLY
Verdict: there are no official reports from the indian/ chinese governments in this regard. no international agency of repute has claimed that indian population has surpassed the chinese. the viral claim started off from a news piece by i-media, a media outlet based in taiwan. however, the news report did not provide any authentic source of the indian population. hence the claim made in the post is miseading.
